Apologies to those of you waiting on winners' banners - RL is kicking my arse at the moment and I haven't had the time to sit down and make them yet, nor will I be able to for another couple of weeks, but I aim to have them done by the end of the month, promise! Once again, sorry about the wait!

[apologizeg]

I am so honored *_*
Thank you so much everyone who voted for me and my icons! ♥♥

And thank you on behalf of the7days!


Congratulations everyone! (especially jsfunction and that OUAT icon!)

[burntheflaws.livejournal.com]

Wait whaaat? I'm pretty floored and shocked at my placements in best complex and especially most creative. @_____@ I'm so glad that people liked that icon. It was one of the few where I started out with an idea, executed it and was actually kinda proud of the result.

Congratulations to all the winners!

P.S. I think the usernames for first and second place in best stock are swapped.

I am stunned and very humbled to win best texture maker. I've been making textures now for... (ohmygod I am old...) 11 years, and this is got to be the first time I've won something like this. But even after all this time, I still get a little thrill when I recognise one of my textures in an icon :)

Congrats to all the other respective winners!

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Congrats to all the makers here. The icons are absolutely stunning and it's amazing to see all the different styles there are.
Thank you for including one of mine, I am super shocked! Thank you to the mods and everyone who participated in all the voting!
