A little bird told me...that I won two honors at the Wicked Awards!

But first things first: congratulations to boiiko for winning the banner competition for Round 19 of seasonal_spuffy - and deservedly so!  Her design is absolutely unique and although there were many lovely banners that round, this one deserved to be the winner. Very different to any previous winners and the perfect fit for the 10th anniversary round. Since I love it when artists talk about their process, I have to recommend her "making of" post.

 

Awards banners by angelus2hot

**********

THANK YOU to the judges of the wicked_awards, spankedbyspike and angelus2hot; winning a Wicked Award was something I wished for but didn't really expect to ever actually happen, so it was a total surprise when I got the news! Thank you for the beautiful awards banners and THANK YOU to the folks who nominated my icons, banners and wallpaper. I honestly do not know who nominated my work in three catagories and wish I could thank them properly. (Please feel free to out yourself/selves!)

Speaking of little birds, velvetwhip (Gabrielle)'s Answering Prayers won Best Series (as well it should) and I could not be more pleased! (Her fic Easy also won Best Dark.)That my poster for it earned Runner-up Honors is just the icing on the cake, and is as much her award as mine, IMO, because her story was the inspiration. (That my poster earned Runner Up, and my icon first place, when I consider the competition, is truly special and extraordinary.)

I'm really tickled about that icon; I made it for slayerstillness Challenge 47, "IWRY" a challenge I very nearly didn't enter because I'm not much of a Bangel shipper (or Angel fan), didn't submit my set until literally the last minute; but it's proved to be one of my winningest artworks. The Little Icon That Could.  :D

Congratulations to all the winners but most especially my friends (in the art categories): comlodge, chasingdemons, katekat1010 (her Giles banner is simply superb); snowpuppies; spikesredqueen; halliwell; debris4spike; sweet_lyri; sueworld2003; (in the video categories) double_dutchess; thedothatgirl; (in the fiction categories): punch_kicker15, s[the_moonmoth, spuffy_luvr, hello_spikey, aadler, beer_good_foamy, lion-hearted girl, snogged, shapinglight, dragonydreams,

Thank you Kiki!

Do you mean more artwork in general or more Joyce/Angel?

[kikimay]

Artwork in general, especially pretty Buffy close crop icons. I still have to read a bunch of BtVS stories, but I'm in a Harry Potter mood and I can't stop.

Well as a matter of fact Round 14 of 20in20 has "cropped from the nose down" as a theme - but I never need an excuse to do close crops of our beloved Miss Summers!

[kikimay]

Yay!

I actually never read the themes page, because I like the surprise but now that you told me I went to see. Such cool themes! Can't wait to see what's gonna be produced and the we are going to have Buffy's lips, lips of Buffy! *___*

Buffy's lips, lips of Buffy! *___*

*LOL*

Well I wasn't decided on doing Buffy in that theme but - I guess it's been decided for me now...unless I decide on lips of Vamp!Buffy and I just might do that. Because I'm evil that way. My claim is Nightmares - and I think I want to do every episode of season 1. snogged encouraged me to do S1 months ago and now that I'm on a roll with it - holy smokes does that season have some great visuals.

How crazy is it that I have space for 110 pics and I want more? I wanna add a VampBuffy icon that I made to my gallery. And a really crazy gorgeous The Body icon starry_night made.
