Daily Fanart: Mary from "Home"

Did a lot of softening on this piece, mostly to hide the graininess of the cap...which is a problem with my early caps. :P

Usual rules apply: :: No hotlinking :: Please credit me if you take/use/re-post :: Comments would be so nice! :D

Just 'Cause

This cap is from 2x04 "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things".

A vehicle profile for your Impala Sunday. ;)
Spent all of Saturday house cleaning. So. Tired. Ugh. But...the house looks better. Now it's time to go to bed so I can get up...*gulp* in the early morning. >.<
Have a nice Sunday folks. I'll probably be fighting to stay awake by noon. *hugs*

Questioning myself

Just curious...

Would you consider the stuff I make (Daily Fanart posts, any icons, headers, banners etc) to be fanart or am I just kidding myself?

Seems like there are others in the fandom who truly make fanart with text and tons of layers and effects. I see pieces on Tumblr and here on LJ that are much more elaborate (not to mention beautiful). I'm thinking my stuff fails to measure up by comparison.

Granted, most people use Photoshop or some other more sophisticated software to make their fanart. I simply use PhotoScape or various online editors. I CAN use Photoshop (learned it extensively in college), but I just choose not to anymore.

I'd really appreciate everyone's honest opinions about this. It's been bugging me. Thx. :)
