Congrats to the winners of Slayerstillness - and tiebreakers at 20in20 need YOU!

Yeah, I'm trying to cover all my bases here.

**
THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my work at [livejournal.com profile] slayerstillness Challenge 44 and congratulations to the other winners [livejournal.com profile] tempertemper, [livejournal.com profile] sweet_lyri and new-to-the-comm participant [livejournal.com profile] muirthemne. (I just checked out her Gemma Arterton icon set for [livejournal.com profile] females20in20 and holy sweet potato pie, is it gorgeous work. And I don't even know who the heck Gemma Arterton is. I don't care who Gemma Arterton is. Icons - pretty!)

WInners banners will be up shortly but THANK YOU very much for the 2nd Place, Best Crop and Best Color honors!  This is my FIRST Best Color award in Slayerstillness!

1. 2. 3.
Best Color and 2nd Place/Best Crop winners, respectively, plus a personalized version.

At the beginning of the year I set a goal - I wanted to two placements I hadn't won yet, First and Best Color. Now I've earned both and - what now?
Keep improving, especially in terms of image clarity; try to get a handle on Photoshope Elements (my sweetie, who had mastered full PS before our previous computer burnt in the apartment fire, hates it. But I know other folks around here who love it and do amazing things with it.) Post my backlog of banners, including fanfiction artwork for ; and create new ones. Keep trying for an award at the [livejournal.com profile] wicked_awards. (Yes, I actually do want that. Call me selfish.) And keep promoting, pimping and sharing the love for all fandom creativity as enthusiastically as I can.  Speaking of which:

** There are TIEBREAKER votes that need attending at [livejournal.com profile] btvsats20in20 for Round 9 - five to be exact, thanks to the fact that people came and voted and we had 27-28 votes cast. I think that may be a record for the comm? At the high end, certainly.  (I won't stop to reflect here on "only 25 people?" and focus instead on the "25 people, yay!") Thank you to everyone who came out and voted thus far!

The ties are Blood, Close Crop+2, Category Set, Cat Icons 3rd place and AC icons 3rd place; so make sure you click on all FIVE buttons individually.  I can't vote this time around because - I'm nominated in all five rounds. (This is no state secret; if you're reading this you know which work is mine and furthermore, if you click "View Answers" you'll see that's what I put there.)  So YOU, my dear Gentle Readers, YOU must sally forth and vote on my behalf. Voting is up for 48 hours or until ties are broken.

So beautiful! I also love the b&w variant because it seems so fitting for SMG's retro look, but the colorful one is SO PRETTY.

Congrats!

Lovely icons. Many congrats.

When I used to make icons I used to use Photoshop Elements and absolutely loved it. I still mourn my copy of PE2.

These are both simply stunning.

Voted in the tie breaker!

Wow. Those are beautiful.

Just stunning! And congrats on the win!

I voted--it was really hard!

Good luck with PSE! I've done more training in Photoshop than can be justified by my skills, but in my brief exploration of Photoshop Elements, I was utterly lost. :P
