I think I can, I think I can...maybe? (ooh, look, a poll! And a Willow icon! Shiny!)
Ok, so I had over 100 icons for the upcoming btvsats20in20 Round 1. I reduced them to 62 or so because several of them were crap. I went back and made some smile and blending catagory icons I can live with. (Not great, but not entirely embarrassed by my relative lack of skill. Yet.) Now I'm back to 102. That's better. *lol ( Read more... )

Squirrel them away for a future challenge.
Display them as alts/extras on my entry post
Show them off in a separate post on my journal/website
Any of those !
I think if you have a good and different one, then keep it for another AC set, or to adapt for another theme one ... but many people do show them as alternatives.
So, what I am really saying is that the choice is yours LOL!!

I forgot the "whatever you want it's all good" option? *smacks forehead* I must have been tired!
So you if you want to click a poll choice, go with "other" - that's what I do at mcjulie's episode polls when I can't decide, anyway. You've already done the elucidating.

Heh, I think I'm doing all three of those. I'm on the fence about at least one in every set right now. This feedback is extremely helpful btw to a newbie like me, thanks very much!

Gorgeous job on the Willow icon.
Can't wait to see your 20in20 post!

And like many good things it's something I forget to do. It's not hard it's just a bit time consuming.
Have you ever tried the packaged varieties? There are some at our local co-op and it's not even CLOSE to homemade. But the packaged ones I've had are broken in bits and then held together with cheese or spices, etc. Meh.

Like Deb I'd choose:

The ones you really like and are different from the entry could be reworked for a different challenge later, those that are mere variations could appear as alts on the main post and you could show the remaining ones separately. It's up to you. :D
That's what I do with OWL anyway. As you know I don't do 20in20s for the stress factor, I would do tons of different icons and never be able to choose. You my dear are very brave! <3
Time is my worst enemy and I missed the May deadline for the Darla post. :(
However the new theme @ nekid_spike is intriguing: all witches, demons and vampires in both shows, I do hope to get something done before the end of June. *crosses fingers*
I'm looking forward to your alts post! <3

Thanks sweetie!
I realize I've already done all three things with OWL and slayerstillness extras. With the last rounds of OWL and SS I was doing at the same time, the ideas for one flowed into the other (my icons of Faith's hand that won best crop was originally intended for OWL, as was the Spuffy icon A Broken Halleluliah), same with slayerstillness prompts Negative space and simplicity.
And I like to show off the extras afterward but what's different with the 20in20 is that I don't have to wait to show them until after the voting is over. Doing so many icons is really overwhelming, and I took too much time doing it but I love not having to worry about anonymity. And I get feedback right away - Immediate gratification FTW!
I would do tons of different icons and never be able to choose. You my dear are very brave! <3Oh good I thought I was the only one who did tons! I did the math and I literally do on average 5-9 times more icons than I need for any challenge (including OWL) not even including the ones ( ... )
