Well, it was a tough decision. I liked all of the entries submitted, but I can only have one winner. (And one runner-up.
)
In the Overall Shop Design category, I chose the person whose graphics most fit together as an overall shop design. And the winner is.........
Silja!!! I thought your design fit together perfectly, congrats.
The runner-up for best shop is........ Chii!!!
Okay, onto the individual categories! First off, best background! I had more backgrounds entered than any other type of art, so this was quite difficult for me to choose.
The winner is.......
Zero!!!! I loved the slightly fuzzy Shadow Usul, it just stood out so well in my shop. Congrats.
The runner-up is......Chii!
Now for best blog! I've never actually used blogs before, so I was a little hesitant to include them as a category, but I'm glad I did.
The winner is......
Silja!!!! I loved the swirls in the background, congrats!!!
The runner-up is...... everconfused, for her Shadow Usul Plushie blog!!
I still have two more categories, which I will add a little later. Until then, congrats to the winners, and your prizes are in my trades. Just look for your username. (But if your name is different on neo, please let me know so I don't reject your offer.

*Edit* Okies, the last two categories!! You can now see what all the 'mystery prizes' were.
Anyway, small pic category!! And the winner is.....
Chii!! I thought the hide-and-seek line was cute.
The runner-up is.....Silja!!!
And now, for the final category.... which is Random Artwork, but really means 'a welcome sign'....
The winner is........... Knives!!!! I thought the banner was just beautiful, it reminded me of some of the swirling galaxies that you can see in space pictures.
And the runner-up........ everconfused!!!!
Congrats to everyone, I'll have the images saved very quickly, and I should have my shop finished sometime today.
I'll credit everyone in my shop blog, and while I can't promise I'll use every single picture submitted, I will try to use as many as possible over the course of this month.
And thank you all for entering, I could never have made such beautiful artwork myself.
