thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my posts! I know I'm always "forgetting" to credit my influences, or at least that feels that way to me, that I don't give enough credit to others. But everything I see pushes me a little further along and of course the encouragement I've recieved here has been magnificent and tremendous.
by looking at their work I am challenged to try to improve (although sometimes it makes me feel like giving up!!)
TELL ME ABOUT IT, SISTER. *lol* After last round I was ready to throw in the towel altogether - and just stubborn enough not to. (I daresay if I were employed full time I wouldn't be able to participate as much.)
I think I really do get a lot more pleasure from making larger works (posters/banners) but then I'm not making those to be compete so they can come from a place of sheer pleasure.
I wonder if we ended up picking the same 3 as we used for our teasers!
In my case, not at all! My teasers were 4, (Willow/VampWillow), 16 (Buffy in Amends) and 19 (S5 Tara); my top three I voted for were #1, 6, and 10. But in this instance I wasn't so much trying to show my three favorites with the teasers as with past rounds, as show that I covered a range of characters in my set. (And also covering a goodly range of the rainbow with those three)
And i'm not sure that the three I voted for eventually are the same ones I'd vote for if I could vote again.
The one that surprises me most is that a lot of people liked #14; I like the color and light and worked really hard on that one, but the composition still bothers me.
