but I must confess, I like the banners better than the icons. Only because you can really see the a/w in the larger size.

Full disclosure #1: I like making banners better than I do icons, for the most part - because I can see what the heck it is I am actually doing. So I'm not insulted by your "confession" in the least!

Full disclosure #2 - "icons" 19 and 20 are really banners 16 and 17 that I downsized from the album when I posted. If I'd made those as icons proper I would have sharpened them a bit more. But all the others are icons originally and my feelings still stand. Sadly though, the icon comms offer more opportunity to practice techniques regularly and show off the work. I think we've had this convo before, I still toy with the idea of a banner comm.

I'm actually astonished by how many icon comms are out there - and more every day - especially the 20in20 format. I find 20in20 extremely challenging because of the number of icons needed. This is one of the reasons I like slayerstillness - five is a nice number, I can deal with that. I've yet to see a 5-10 comm.

Isn't Willow adorable here? And incredibly pretty (HOW did you not notice that lovely girl right in front of you, Xander Harris, how?)

My favorites of this set are 2, 8 and 16.

Thank you so much for your compliments and feedback hon!
