Oh thank you sweetheart! I took your advice about the Lorne image.

Oddly enough though, some of these banners are not the ones you saw, esp the Riley one - I ended up going back to my original version.

(BTW, I'm still not satisfied with that Wangel icon - Willow's face isn't clear enough when the image is downsized in the convo threads. I might take another stab at that one. Or just wait until you write another story to go with?)

Congrats again on the wins! And of course also congratulations to the other winners.

For the whedon_elite challenge, maybe I could make a variation of one of the Giles icons that I'm currently working on. I guess it would be easy to adapt it to fit the specifications... I'll think about it.

I'd really like to see that and see you participate in more challenges! What motivation do you need? Cookies? (Have you thought about slayerstillness? The challenge this time around is pretty loose - up to five icons each with a different character in it.)

I'm trying to get better about remembering when I see a screen cap I love and want to work with it in one challenge but don't get the chance, to remember it for another time rather than starting from scratch every single time.

And thank you for the compliments again - seeing you use that Lorne icon is the besest compliment of all of course!

Thanks, but it's not motivation I need -- it's time!

And when I find time (hopefully during the summer) I'm going to use it for vidding. There's this vid I've been "working" on for over a year now -- and by that I mean I haven't actually managed to do any work on it since November last year. So that's a priority now.

Maybe I can still squeeze in the occasional icon though.

I love the effects you created on the banners using those photographs. The one of River is particularly striking.

Congrats on your wins!

Love that Riley icon so much. Would you be open to personalizing that for me? Please? Thanks.

*hugs*

Thank you sweetheart!

I noticed that not all of the banners enlarged when you click them; I think I have that fixed now.

Sure thing! I just knocked out a couple of versions, what did you have in mind in terms of text? I think in this instance keeping the font simple is best:

Thank you so much!
I love the 1st and 4th ones best, but I'll definitely be saving all 4.

Ooh! Wiley? I love Willow/Riley as a pairing. I wanna see the icon, please?

[red_satin_doll]

You're welcome hon! I like 1 & 4 best too. But they're all yours of course! I tried script and military stencil style fonts but I didn't care for them as much.

As a matter of fact, your request inspired me to revisit the W/R icon and remake it a bit for Gabrielle, I'm going to add it to a post for everyone to see. ;-) Thank you for the motivation!
