My Entries for Round 3 of btvsats20in20: TARA MACLAY, A WOMAN FOR ALL SEASONS
My original claim for this round of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
btvsats20in20 was Tara in S4, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starry_night kindly allowed me to expand that.
Teasers
Alts and extras will follow in a separate post and oh boy do I have alts.
Comments - including honest critiques - welcome. (You can't be harder on these than I am.) If you're wondering what I was aiming for with the Fear icon, my inspiration wasclockwork_hart1's Tough Love Tara-POV fic "Shadows and Light".
My mom is coming for a week long visit tomorrow so if I do not reply to comments, that's why.
starry_night if you need to disqualify my entries, I understand and that's ok. I'm really not fussed about that. I learned a lot, and quality time spent with Tara Maclay is NEVER time wasted.
I would love to make more Tara icons, and more Willow/Tara icons. Oh goodness I could go on forever. But I've realized two things: 1) 20in20 isn't a good fit for me. 15 would be more like it. I have alternate versions but I run out of steam and then realize I have to come up with five more new ones. Ugh.
2) that my days of icon making are numbered. My new bifocals make it so much harder than before, slower; and I find myself thinking in terms of banners and large artworks as a consequence. The icons for Full Body, Touch, Cat 1 and Cat3 all started life as larger artworks. Which I will show off in another post because....
3) I FINALLY made artwork from the final scene in Dead Things that I'm happy with. (Thanks, ipiccy!)

my favorites, yellow, cat3, cat4, cat5 ac1, and ac4

Yay for Cat3 love! I have other versions of that I might should have used instead - looking at the row I realize it doesn't quite go.
Yellow was fun, just painting the background at a light opacity. And I really love AC4. I almost didn't inlcude it but could not bear not to have it there.
thank you so much.
