There are going to be lots of ways to earn points this month, many of which won't involve writing stories at all, but it's not a team battle without a Drabble Prompts Post. That's tomorrow. :3

This post is for the icontest for this month!

How it works: 
The theme is Isumi of course!
- You can post up to ten icons in the screened comments here - which is not this post - please keep them secret! (although you can say that you've submitted)
- each submitted icon is worth 1 point.
- icons are due by April 22nd.
- I will then put up a voting post to decide the winners
- first place =25 points
- 2nd place = 15 points
 - 3rd = 5 points

I'll make bonus banners for the icontest winners as well!

Requirements:
Format: png, jpg, gif
Physical size: 100x100 px (or less)
File size: I believe LJ and DW have a limit of 40 KB for uploading icons - so please keep under that size


FAQ:
Can I submit my icons separately or do I have to do all ten at once?
Yes you can submit icons separately,
I just submitted ten, but I like this one better...?
Yes you can swap icons out if you decide you don't like but only 10 can be considered for points.
Can I do shippy icons?
Yes of course. Other characters can be involved it just has to touch tangentially upon the theme of Isumi (so it could even be a different character with text about Isumi or I don't know, be uh, creative?)
Sources?
Gimp is an opensource image manipulation program and has a lot of sources here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
Some communities that may be helpful!
icon_tutorial good_tutorial coloring_help icon_extras icon_textures and there are many others as well!
