You are very welcome sweetheart, and congratulations again! You did a fantastic job with the deep shadows and the glossy lips - I had to work hard to get the background to coordinate to my liking.
I love making banners but posts like this definitely make it worthwhile. Half the reasons I make icons in competition is to get pretty banners from other artists!
And btw, maybe you'll turn your hand at it at some point? That Spike banner you made the other day would have made a super awards banner IMO.
I'm still in awe of the fact that you just started teaching yourself Gimp a week ago. It's taking me YEARS to get where I'm at with iPiccy and I'm just starting to learn PS. I certainly never made anything a lovely as your icon a week after jumping in. I couldn't even begin to teach myself Gimp, I had no idea where to begin. I can't wait to see what you do next. And you're a writer on EF? you'll be able to make artwork for your own stories. Can't wait!
