After a couple of hours of thinking ...I came up with this:
There are 3 ties, because honestly ...it was pretty hard to choose.
5th place goes to -
WIS!
and Cleo_Lo!
Yep, it's a tie.
4th goes to -
everconfused!
and Jaye!
3rd place -
stampsyne!
and Optimus!
That was the last tie, so beware. XD
2nd place goes to -
Pixa!
And finally, the moment you've been waiting for,
1st place -
mallory!
Congratulations everyone.
To those who didn't win, I'm so sorry, but there just aren't enough places in the contest and NP in my account right now to give prizes to everyone who participated. Still loved all the sets though. ^^
Now for comments.
I don't think 1st place needs many explanations ...I just really love the animation on the avatar, and the theme and subtext chosen just fit my personality so much. XD
2nd place went to the Zombie mushroom set for the following reasons: Again, I love the animation style, the picture isn't blurry, and I really like what Pixa did to accent the "blue" part on the set. ^^
Now for 3rd - stampsyne's set was chosen because I really do like the animation a lot. It's fun to watch, and I bet it took a lot of effort to make that.
And as for the Darigan Bori set, well, like the font, like the subtext, like the picture, and simply love the semi-thick black border around it.
Next, we have everconfused and Jaye. What can I say? Marshmallows and a rat. A rat whose nose moves. Now that's one cute set.
Also quite like the border. Really nice colour choice in Jaye's set. The picture is clear, and the font is nice, too. Makes for a wonderful impression. ^^
And finally, I got to the 5th place. The Maple set is just nice to look at. Not going to say anything creative here, sorry. XD I really love the idea Cleo_Lo used for her set. Besides, it has Eric in it. How could I resist?
That's about it.
Again, thank you all for the lovely sets you have made for me. I'll be sure to use them all sometime. And of course, I'll be switching to the winning set shortly.
To claim your prizes ...well, you know the routine I think ... You can either post trade links here, or PM them to me, if you don't want a large audience to find out what your username is.
