Challenge 196: Rainbow Pass-It-On 3
Jul. 4th, 2025 02:08 amluminousdaze in iconthatChallenge 195
The new theme is...
Rainbow Pass-it-On 3
For this challenge, we can play, for a third time, rainbow next icon pass-it-on with the seven hues of the rainbow!
Again, we can use the modern rainbow not the Newtonian one. So we combine blue and indigo and add cyan after green.
These are the seven colors:
1. Red, 2. Orange, 3. Yellow, 4. Green, 5. Cyan, 6. Blue, 7. Violet (Purple)

dw_maintenanceWe're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Challenge #219 - Magical Creature
Jun. 29th, 2025 07:21 pmitsanonyx in your_favourites
After watching How To Train Your Dragon (2025) more than once I actually wanted to have a Challenge about Dragons only. But then I didn't find enough icons. So I thought we could have this one first and then a Challenge about Dragons later. (Spoiler. :D)
A Magical Creature is a creature that exists in folklore or mythology and is attributed with supernatural or magical abilities. These creatures often possess unique characteristics, powers, or origins that set them apart from ordinary animals or beings. They can be found in various cultural narratives and legends, sometimes playing significant roles in myths and stories.
You may use everything that is classified as Magical Creature. Normal animals or any human with any magical powers don't count as such. Everything else is fair game.
Let me use How To Train Your Dragon as example of what is allowed for this Challenge: Toothless is a Night Fury. Night Furys are species of dragons. If you want to go with this example too you may either focus on dragons only, Night Furys only and/or Toothless only. You may go with Dragons only and then focus on more than one species - such as Night Fury, Light Fury, Gronckle and/or Deadly Nadder. :o)

Challenge #218 - Alien
Jun. 28th, 2025 11:43 pmitsanonyx in your_favouritesI think it's probably no surprise that I went with Shadow the Hedgehog again. :D
But here's one Fun Fact about it too: I got my first tattoo this month and it's in fact Shadow too. :D Well, Shadow Chao to be more specific but it's still him. :D (Sadly not colored because my health was so bad that day. But it will be finished later this year too.)
So, yeah: There it goes with me loving Shadow. :D
