obligatory gloating

[pensnest]

This is kinda fun.



This was a cute challenge, baby!JC in all his adorableness.







And of course...



I was particularly pleased with the Bassez icon from the Lance challenge - it's a picture I've done before, so I thought I would hunt out the previous versions for comparison.

The first one - actually, I can't find the icon in the labyrinth of my files, so it's the banner:



And a later version:

But I like this one best, well enough to use as my new C-Bass icon. :-)

You make very pretty icons. I'm not sure if I could do so many those challenges at once. lol But I'm going to try again. It'd be nice to rack up on awards like you. LOL

I like that last one. It's so cute. :3

I probably have far too much time on my hands ;-) But it's nice to have an excuse to play with Photoshop, and a challenge gives you parameters, somewhere to start. I always find it much easier to be given a place to start!

Congratulations ^^

[pensnest]

Thanks :-)

The Justin icon cracks me up!

[pensnest]

Yeah - he looks so earnest! :-)

[rikes]

Justin is the definition of earnest.

And I totally agree with your reply to cardalia, he's much hotter when he's just smiling and not trying to look sexy.

[pensnest]

Yes, when he's having a bit of fun and allowing it so show, rather than Being Justin Timberlake. :-)

The different Bassez icons are cool, it's fun too see them all together. And the Justin icon is kind of priceless, he's trying so hard to look serious and sexy. :)

[pensnest]

It was extra-challenging because I've iconned *all* the pairing pics that were given at least once before... and Justin, yes! He's all smouldering, except that, for me, he's *much* sexier when he's grinning.

[cardalia.livejournal.com]

Yes, grinning Justin is so much better! As is a Justin who shaves his neck. Why, oh why can't he pick up a razor? (Sorry for the random, I just wish he'd shave his damn neck. *g*)

Also, JC the teenage dork is such a Xander! His expression is spot on.

I would say you have good reason to gloat, these are wonderful. I particularly love the JC soul one.

[pensnest]

Thanks! I'm pleased with the way that turned out - the original photo for the background pic was all glowy and insubstantial, so it seemed the obvious way to use it, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

I have much love for the teenage dork and Justin icons.

[pensnest]

Yeah - is it just me or does JC, teenage dork, look a lot like Xander from Buffy?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He really does!

It's the expression that does it.
