LIMS BtVS round 13 icons

[double_dutchess]

The current round of lims_btvs is not over yet (so  don't forget to vote in the final challenge!) but it is over for me. Here are the icons I made for this round, numbered by challenge:

1	2	4	5

I wasn't happy with my Oz icon at all, and I'm really lucky it didn't get me eliminated right off the bat. Based on the feedback I made a new version (1a below), but unfortunately that one sucks too. I still like the concept, but I guess it needs a better icon maker to execute it properly.

My Anya icon I was actually happy with, but it still got me eliminated. According to feedback, the icon was too busy and the font colours didn't fit with the rest. So I made a new, more subdued version (2a), but I find it a bit boring. I actually really like the bright pink (and it's on the Game of Life box too, anyway) so 2b is now my favourite version.

The Dawn icon I made for the comeback challenge (combining two textures from colorfilter; below are the single-texture versions) got me back into the game, but that only lasted until the next challenge. At least I got the chance to icon punk!Spike, which is always a pleasure. Below is a full colour variant, but I like the one with black and white Spike better.

*nods* (Any Dreamwidth plans?)

Yes -- when all my LJ payments expire I plan to make Dreamwidth my main home, cross-posting to LJ (I still need to figure out how that works). But I don't want to leave LJ altogether because of the friends and communities here. I don't like having to keep track of two sites at the same time, but I guess it can't be helped :-(

If you'd like crossposting tips or something when the time comes, you can give me a poke. (And I'd probably go digging through Barb C's old posts, because I'm not sure I remember how I set everything up.)

Thanks! I expect I will be able to figure it out myself though; it's just time I'm lacking (and now there's the Photobucket mess to fix first...)
