5votebandit

me thinks y'all deserve top 5. 5's for all.

matthew

...Thank You...

...I wonder if the alter ego named 5 vote bandit is catching as much animadversion as the 1 vote bandit did...

Thanks, Ron and Solosater. :::warm fuzzies:::

oookayyy... I don't even WANT to think how many hours I've just spent... but I do think it was

worth it. So much so that I hope we do this again next month too. (I'll be better prepared...

heh heh)

Turned out to be quite an eye-opener once I started double checking my own notes, not to mention

memories. (I've always suspected my memory's rather like lace... lovely threads, huge holes...)

Fwiw, these are very personal choices, not proper "judging", so I didn't feel obligated to avoid

duplicating anyone. Nor to get a set number per category, tho I did find some for each category.

More than I'd expected to in some!

But --AFTER they were pretty well compiled-- I did realize there's a pattern operating in me.

The pieces I like best--
- made me gasp or smile... and KEEP smiling for quite a while...
- showed me something I hadn't noticed on my own....
- hold up well in both sizes, or STUNNINGLY in one...
- have lingered in my memory...

There were lots of really good drawings.

DMarla

Five, thanks. I always praised your work, I'm glad you like mine too. Qsily, thanks you mentioned two of mine. I still go to your page to study how you draw your faces and have been looking for a face to use to give it a try.

DMarla

Thanks also to Matthew, Anotherronism and Luna.
