Too many distractions & I need a beta for my art, please

I was planning on working during the holiday today to earn comp time for a day off next week, but  decided I had too much to do to ready my home for visitors who will be staying in my home while I am away this weekend, packing, and working on ART.

All those good intentions of not signing up for fests and challenges this year have flown out the proverbial window. (bye-bye!) I've made progress on 4 of 5, but am still not where I want to be. Having a beta would help, so if you have an eye for composition and color or just some skills with using graphics programs, I'd love your input.

(ETA: Found a beta!)

Deadlines:
July 17 - spn_j2_bigbang for clex_monkie89
Aug 10 - spn_j2_bigbang for dimpled_sammy
unassigned  - merlinreversebb with aeris444
unassigned - merlinreversebb with eurydice72
unassigned - aftercamlann for geekslave

And artist claims for wincestbigbang are July 19.


Another distraction is THIS:


Ask The Maker 2015

You can ask about techniques used on different icons and the makers post tutorials. I have about 8 so far that I have bookmarked and I want to try out some new things for the spn20_20 challenge #10, which is making any 20 icons depicting what you love about the show. I am going to try very hard not to make them all Dean icons. :D
