Round 25 Themes
Mar. 20th, 2026 06:07 pm
Info
• You must be a member and have signed up for this round to participate.
• All icons must be newly made for this round. Do not use previously made icons.
• You are allowed to use pictures containing nudity and graphics imagery. Just keep those behind you're Cut tag with a warning out of the cut.
• If you would like a participation banner make sure you wrote it outside cuts/links.
• Please do not post your icon set to Photobucket or tinypic, use other free image hosting sites at this time while that site is going through what it is doing. Chances are your images will not show at all if you do. I do however recommend: Cloudinary (similar to photobucket), Imgur, Imgbb & any others you can think of that work well.
Posting
• Post only once your set is completed. Do not submit your icons to this post, instead make a post of your own using the guidelines below.
• Your icons must fit DW standards and be made specifically for this round. 100x100px and either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
• Provide three (3) teaser icons and hide the rest behind an cut, or provide a link to your icons should you post them elsewhere. If posting to an outside source your icons should be made public for the duration of the round.
• Please, if you participate try to at least check out the other participants entries. It's another reason why we have an unlocked rule. You would want people to check out yours and vice versa, it's only fair.
• Fan art is not accepted; use caution when choosing images. DO NOT USE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS, unless the theme calls for it. You may however use Episode Still, posters and Promos. Animation is NOT allowed, unless otherwise stated for a certain prompt.
• Use the table provided or use your own if you'd like, but keep the themes in order.
• DO NOT ADD TAGS TO YOUR ENTRIES. A MOD WILL DO THAT.
• Posting is moderated; once your post is submitted please await approval. If your post hasn’t been approved within 48 hours please contact me or comment to this post.
• Please add the following subject, just add your username. FORMAT AS: Round 25 - Your Claim - Your Username.

terempaty • cookiestome • prettybutt
Splash of Pink - Your icon must be all black and white with a splash of pink.

littleton_pace • xjadedgrlx • magic_paradise
April Fool's - This is basically a Stolen Claim idea. Basically it would just be their claim they claimed - like if you picked The Mummy (1999) and I picked Godzilla (2014), I'd have to icon something from The Mummy, or one of the other claims from members. So you would go to the claim's list and pick one you wish to do.

Sandy79 • Nancythompson • Chocolatefrogs
Times Three - Your icon must contain your character three and only three times.

endearest • _amends • angelamaria
Angry - Simple. Icon your claim angry.

ladyhadhafang • monsterscastle • Chocolatefrogs
Vibrant Colors - Your icon must be of vibrant coloring. Vibrant colors are highly saturated, intense hues like neon pink, electric blue, and sunny yellow that create energetic, eye-catching, and emotionally charged visuals.

mm3butterfly • wickedgame • wickedgame
Category Set - One Screencap + Color Palette - One Screencap Make 5 different icons using only 1 screencap and this color palette. You can use whatever else you want, textures, text, decoration but ONLY 1 screencap can be used for the icons. At least one color in the palette must be frankly visible in each icon--prettiest and most challenging to spread the palette across your five icons.
Palette

Artist’s Choice: Your choice so long as it abides by the rules!
