She's Come Undone (pt2) and I'm not feeling too good myself

Voting is up NOW for [livejournal.com profile] otherworldlyric challenge 173. 10 fabulous entries and at least one or two Willow/Angel shippy icons. Nifty.

Entries for round 1 of [livejournal.com profile] btvsats20in20 are due June 4 but there are some fantastic entries in the meantime to enjoy. I am nearly done with my entries (and a little nervous about the quality because DAMN, there are some fantastic entries in this thing.)

I just have to chose favorite moment. And master the icon table template. And maybe redo another blending icon. Or settle for one of the ones I made today. How hard can that be, right?

And I am FREAKING OUT just a little.

I am also going blind.

Not literally but the moment when I stopped being able to see the little pixels on the screen clearly and my eyes are blurring from sitting here too long? I passed that exit 10 miles back, with no turnaround.

I thought I was going to have a hard time coming up with ideas for this. My problem is coming up with too damn many. Oy vey. I'm lovin' it btw but - break time, way past.

So while I step away - I asked [livejournal.com profile] kikimay the other day about posting some other variations of my Buffy/Come Undone artwork and she said she would be interested. I'm trying to convince myself that it's ok to show this stuff off and I won't get any better as an artist hiding my stuff in a dresser drawer, so to speak.  (But why do I still feel weird about it? Aside from the needing food and all that jazz...)

I'm excited for you and wish you luck with the 20in20 challenge.

Really love the variation on She's Come Undone. It's so soft and pretty.

Aw, thank you sweetie - on both counts! I think these two versions represent my preferred color tones - either dark, rich blacks and jewel tones, or watercolor "old tea" coloring.

It's funny I'm not worried about winning anything in the 20in20 - it is an icontest, isn't it? I'm more wanting to just be half as good as some of the other things I'm seeing.
