So, remember a couple weeks ago I was kind of all "I am a sucky icon maker" after seeing all the awesomeness that was generated during iconfest? Well, I had taken a couple weeks off of my usual icontests due to various fic challenges I was in. This was my first week back for most of them, and I gotta say, iconfest may have been the kick in the butt I needed!

Jensen Stillness: Second Place, Third Place & Best Crop

:-D

I will admit I am quite proud of the icons I made for that challenge and some of the others this week. Voting is still going on in the other, but hopefully they'll have positive results, too.

Congratulations! *throws confetti* Jensenstillness has so many GREAT icons every single week. Placing there is a real honor. Nice job!

As a maker, I find the challenge of Iconfest immensely helpful. I am forced to work with caps/subjects different from my well-worn rut. It helps to jump start me. I'm glad it worked that way for you, too.

They really do. There's some amazing icon makers in the SPN fandom.

That's one of the things I like about icontests in general, too. Being forced to work with certain images and trying to find a way to make them work. It's definitely a challenge.
