Well, I'm lame and haven't had time to even begin making anything until today, so I'm fairly certain this Cookoff will just be a time for me to make graphics and have fun, rather than to win

I did upload an entry to the second Daily Challenge (see Challenge Thread if you want to see it obvs) though! One graphic down - yay me

[edit] My credits can be found here.

Thank you so much Celeb! Your stuff is so pretty, also, and much more abundant, too. Lol.

Haha, I should find some more pictures for you then.

Yeah, that's totally what I wanted to know Megan! You've got a lot more goals than I do. Good stuff though.

Panneth: Oooooh I love the LotRness. Beautiful! And that's a ton of retouches. I can never have the patience for that stuff.

Ammy: Just waiting for the stuff. I'm sure it'll be brilliant.

Skitty: (I am officially calling you that now, no matter what you change your name to.) Hm, Torchwood. I LOVE YOUR COLORING. In case you can't tell, I've been copying you. Cause it's that beautiful and I love it way more than is probably healthy. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Fantastic.

JF: Muppets! Love it. And that's one haul of bookmarks there. I really like the sepia Joker one. Just too cool.

Lothers: Stars and stars and lighten! Again with the coloring. Just darn cool. The Hugh Jackman blend is

Silvery: Well, it's LOST. But aside from that I love the style. Especially on the blends.

Darky: Whoo, cars and LotR! I love that your stuff is just so unique. You have your cars, and then you have a bunch of other stuff too.

Enno: Harry Potter squee! The motion effect is pretty cool, but I wouldn't overdo it too much. People might get motion sickness.

Lenya: Yay for Firefly! Jayne and Kaylee! *smoosh* Love em.

Megan: Love 'em! The animals are so cute and the HP is...well, fantastic HP! Your banners are really awesome looking. Looks like the smaller size banner is working out okay for you!

Smeag: Not much, but it's great! Who doesn't love the hobbits? And it's so simple, but wonderful!

Gil: Loverly! The Scarlett wall is really pretty.

Thanks Nurr, I try.

I hardly have anything done this round. But I have bokeh textures and Watchmen screen caps. All is well.

Finally got around to posting some graphics, as well as the Daily Challenges for the days I've been MIA. Sorry about that guys, btw. There aren't time limits on these ones, but I really would prefer you have them done by the end of the cookoff. =P

Just a heads up: I don't know what my work schedule will look like for the next week, so things may run a little bit longer than I had planned. Is everyone cool if it lasts a couple extra days, or will you beat me for it? If you're opposed, I can have someone close everything off for me on the posted date, otherwise I'll just let it go a couple more days while I get my head screwed back on straight.

-SQUEEEEE- Absolutely gorgeous [s]ANDREA[/s] Scarlett blends. You can never have too much [s]ANDREA[/s] Scarlett Johansson.
[s]SQUEEEEE! ANDREA[/s]

Anyway, My computer is about to get packed away so I think that's all the graphics from me I'm afraid See yous all on the flip side

@ Lotherama:
<3 Thanks love, I've been having fun with her. She's super duper gorgeous and has a TON of usable photoshoots, which makes things a bit easier.

See you when you get back!

Thanks so much Nurrshey! I wanted to do a lot of LotR banners because they were just calling to me and the retouching is my new favorite thing!

I love everyone's work and can't wait to see more

Here's hoping. I do have work on Friday, so it might be a bit past that, but I'm hoping it won't be too late.

Awww thanks, I wanted to stay true to the RotR aspects of the GMC and had to make some LotR banners, probably going to make some more before the end of the challenge. The colorizations actually take a lot more time than the retouches, but thank you
