Also, I extend many thanks to the following people, for helping me find some of the sixty-seven images that would eventually crown these banners:

Thank you kindly!

*Love* these! The fonts are especially lovely choices (I'm a big fan of typography, lol). And extra hugs on the glowy, soft one that is for me. :P

Thank you for going to such lengths for these fabulous banners!

I think they help convey the spirit of the piece just as much as the picture

Agreed. I get very particular, even with stuff like my resume. Of course, I'm not choosing Wingdings, but a font sans serif sends a very different message than serifed fonts! I'm a firm believer. And also kind of neurotic, clearly. :P

I yoinked it for you right away

Aw, thanks for such consideration! Kagome is definitely the hardest character to create a visual for in that story, since she's the farthest off the canon track. You did awesome with the most difficult one!

I totally love mine!! Thank you so much for the time and thought you put into them!!

These are beautiful Luxken27! You really did a nice job with the choices of fonts and art.

(Psst! Not to be a pain, but isn't 'Sesshoumaru' mispelled in the Best Characterization banner?)

And I misspelled 'mispell'! Ha! No one's perfect!

[identity profile] pos-sess-ed.livejournal.com 2010-06-22 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well good grief, you had 67 of them--not one or two--lol!

I find typos, misspellings and just plain mistakes in my stuff all the time, even things I know I've read multiple times.

You have a wonderful sense of color and composition. Which one(s) did you think turned out the best?

I especially liked the banners for Awry, second place Best Characterization, Lady Griddlebone; Eight-Fold Path, first place Darkfic, Psycho_chick; and Sango's Bones, Hidden Treasure, nhn. Once in a Blue Moon, first place Best Oneshot, landofthekwt is pretty sweet too!

Thank you! It's fabulous! :)

Ah, that's ok. I've got technoelfie's piece hanging on my inspiration board...but this one is equally cool. And Chopin Script is VERY appropriate, LOL! XD

Holy cow! These are AWESOME!

You did a great job.

(I love mine because of the awesome shocked look on Inuyasha's face.)

Thank you so much!

YAY! Thank you so much! I'm so happy to see Kouga there ;D The font is just beautiful. Great choice!

Thank you for all of your hard work on the banners.

These are all gorgeous--thanks for the hard work on making them. I can't wait to update my banner page :D

I didn't even know my story had been entered into the fanawards until I spotted a review from someone apologising for not voting for me!

Thanks for the banner, Luxken27. Great work as always. I enjoyed mine and everyone else's you produced.
