Here be banners for btvsats20in20 Round 2!

1) But first, the usual mandatory and gratutious pimpage: dragonydreams has extended the deadline for btvs_hush Challenge #278, "Chosen" to Tuesday July 29th at 8pm EST. There are only two challenges this time, all based on caps from the episode. Many of the images are much used and well-loved, some more unusual, so the real challenge - and fun - will be to see how artists reinterpret them in a fresh way.

2) And now to the banners for Round 2 of btvsats20in20, away!:


teragramm and iconsoleander were the only winners to request banners, although I'm including the "spec banner" I made for starry_night's Hairporn winner. I also made banners for my own winning entries for fun but also to continue to improve and practice techniques. (And not just because I am a shameless awards banner hussy.*ahem*)

Many congratulations again to the winning artists - spending time working with these icons, noticing the wealth of details that had escaped me previously, was a singular pleasure. If you notice anything amiss, please let me know.

 

  

This was my first time making awards banners so many thanks to the wonderous bangel_4e for trusting me with the assignment. (And if rua1412, federica74, starry_night or sweet_lyri would still like banners made, please place your request here.)

This is a site where you can download (legally) Photoshop CS2 if you want to try it ^_^

Thanks sweetie!

I'm a little hesitant because when I research that site a lot of people say that it's not safe re: junkware and viruses and the like (and I have to be careful):

I didn't know about the junk, sorry ^_^

No problem hon, and thank you for thinking of me!

One of the benefits of using a computer that belongs to someone else (my sweetheart) is that I've learned to be super-careful about downloading anything. If it were just my computer I'd probably download without thinking about it (and then smack myself later.)

A lot of sites out there are loaded with junk, sadly.
