It's That Time Again! Chromicons Seven Week Icon Challenge: Info Post

[arobynsung]

Chromicons Seven Week Icon Challenge!!

Looking for a fun, easy, no pressure icon challenge?
Here we go again!

Basic Info:

• There will be seven weekly challenges.

• Participants will then have until the end of that week to post their icons to the community.
  
  • A minimum of ten icons to successfully fill a round.
    • EVERY SINGLE ICON in the set has to feature a person/character of color.
    • There is no maximum amount of icons per round.

• Extra chromicons love: ICON TUTORIALS.
  
  • If you'd like to share how you made one of your awesome icons, go for it!
    • (examples: the tutorial fest at smallbatchicons & icon_tutorial)
  • Minimum information for a tutorial:
    
    • Program used (GIMP, Photoshop, MS Paint, etc)
    • Method (a step by step instruction, example 1, example 2)
      
      • A tutorial doesn't have to be long to be informative but it can be if you prefer it like that.
  • Please post the tutorial in the same entry you posted your submission, after the icon set.

Timeline:

• Respective to each round, participants may post at any time within the following dates (sincerely hoping I did the math right):

Round 1: Oct 3rd - Oct 9th
Round 2: Oct 10th - Oct 16th
Round 3: Oct 17 - Oct 23rd
Round 4: Oct 24th - Oct 30th
Round 5: Oct 31st - Nov 6th
Round 6: Nov 7th - Nov 13th
Round 7: Nov14th - Nov 20th

• I am aware that timezones make things interesting so there is a 24hr-leeway.

I'll post the Round 1 challenge and sign-up post soon.

Question

[yifu]

I missed out on round 6 due to NaNo, oversleeping, etc. Assuming I have the time, can I still post for that round before Nov 27? TIA.
