A. I love A!

:) A

This is my own opinion

[(Anonymous)]

This is my own opinion, but I don't get why everyone likes A so much, it is all digital. The other three are actually drawn with a little digital touch up. I get that doing things digitally takes a lot of work, but hand drawing takes so much time and effort to get every detail perfect. While a computer will take care of those details in a second.

This is my own opinion and I do not expect people do agree with it. I am sorry if I offended anyone. All four of these are good and unique in their own way. The creators of these did a great job and deserve praise for what they did.

And, of course, everyone is completely entitled to their own opinion. You're completely free to like or dislike whatever you please, but sometimes it's better to keep your opinion to yourself because, in this case, you stating your dislike for someone's art and then even going so far as to demean the effort they put into it is just wank fodder.

As Magz and I both do graphics, let me clue you in on something: Some graphics do take work, and the Digital vs. Drawn debate is utter crap. I do both forms and I appreciate both forms because both have their advantages and disadvantages, and I'm sure plenty of other people feel the same. Both are valid art forms. Especially in this day and age.

Your compliments to all four pieces do not excuse your need to put down an artist's work; in fact, I feel they do the opposite. I hope you keep in mind that you've probably really hurt someone's feelings.

The bottom line is this: Who are you to judge other people's preferences?

Simple as that.

Please blame me for that anon message. She was a friend of mine and I know she didn't word that very well. She hadn't meant to insult anyone, but she does realize how much ork it takes to preform digital work, but just prefers hand drawn. I'm not denying that her comment should have been avoided, but I will please ask you not to get angry at her when down the line it is probably my fault.

I'm sorry if this post put me out in your mind, angered you or includes me in a fight I don't need to take part of. I respect you a lot and hold your opinions very high, and I would never want to get on your bad side, but I will stick up for my friend in anyway.

Again I'm sorry to both the creator of the first option and Magz and Tess. The first option shows thw hard work and deserves to win if it does.

I really am so sorry that came out wrong. I honestly didn't mean to insult anyone. I just have issues with saying things I shouldn't sometimes. I am no one to be judging others. Please do not blame illogical gleek for what I said.

I have an entry in here that's hand-drawn and I'd just like to say that I know for a fact that I have no idea how to do graphic art well.

So, y'know, take that as you will.

As creator of header A. I would like to state that I understand where the comment was going.. and I am in no way offended. People are entitled to their opinions. I did spend an incredibly long time working on the header making sure everything lined up to right.. cropping max adler and chris colfer out of the pictures.. etc. I opted for the digital because when it comes to drawing on the computer.. I am completely terrible.
I have to definitely say that I love the other headers. We all put amazing effort and creativity into something we all love.. the KIMs. Each one reflects such a different part of the story.. from that awkward 'we're-boyfriends-now' stage.. to where it all started.. to getting it on ;D
Everyone's header is really just awesome in their own way.

How are you so completely sweet and awesome? ♥

Your header design is great, by the way. They all really are. And I know this sounds so retardedly cheesy, but idgaf --all four of you are winners just because you're so freaking talented and creative.

Thank you <3 your so awesome and shit too! :D

Why not set it up so they all alternate with a screen refresh? That way they all get showcased, since there are only four to begin with.

Well, the contest started because I have a set of Glee pins that I don't mind parting ways with. Besides, the point of a contest is (supposed to be) that it's fun.
