Now that Phase 9 of gameofcards is over, I thought it would be nice to show you all the various artworks I've done for the challenges. A phase runs approximately 3 months and is filled with tons of fun! (you'll never believe how much creativity is hidden in yourself!) Warning: IMAGE-HEAVY!!

Sigtags

You need these little beauties whenever you post a response to a challenge. It's helping the mods to keep tracks of your participations (and in case you post to the wrong team thread). See them as kind of a business card, telling everyone which team you're on.

Icons

Graphic Mix

( Fanart, Icons, Sigtags... )

Special - Joker Challenge

For this challenge, issued by our awesome mod kitty, we had to spread our wings (so to speak). There were games (like doing a labyrinth, finding words, do a quiz, a puzzle, or coloring a page), we had to post screencaps, do icons, sigtags, and last but not least, one big graphic - with all artworks somehow linked to the landcomm's general theme of card games.

Team Battles

Next to the regular challenges, that are open to all members of all teams, each team can issue a so-called "battle" in order to get more points (most likely to happen among the first two teams). Usually, these battles are themed, but what you do with that theme, it's solely up to you.

Fanfiction

As a writer at heart, I can't resist writing challenges ;) So, next to the graphic challenges, I also wrote several stories for this phase:

If you have any questions about a challenge, how gameofcards works, or about any of the artworks above, just drop me a PM or a comment ;)

Summary: She’s a master thief and fence, could steal everything she desires whenever she wants. But the one thing her heart yearns for the most is always out of her reach, no matter how hard she tries.

Notes: Written for cookielaura at the wc_women_fest 2016 Holiday Exchange. Follows my headcanon that Alex is in love with Neal (probably all the time), but he is oblivious about it. Set in Season 2, including spoilers for “Forging Bonds”, “Copycat Caffrey” and “Under The Radar”. First time writing Alex, so I hope I get her right. Title is a quote from "The Avengers", said by Natasha Romanov. Happy Holidays and Enjoy!

Summary: Neal knows that love can be a many splendored thing. But he also knows that this, the love they share, with all the wonderful implications for the future, has to be the best he has ever encountered.

TBC

Summary: Sara ponders her life, and the different kinds of games people can play.

Notes: Written for Round 3 of runthecon and the prompt "the games people play", given to me by the ever awesome kanarek13. Set in the gap year of the finale (and afterwards), but reflects back to events in earlier seasons and pre-series. Some events mentioned in there will be addressed in another story I’m writing at the moment (for wcpairings, so I can’t say too much about it).

We continue the White Collar theme, this time with 20 icons dedicated to the one woman that went from being Neal's opponent to being Neal's lover - Miss Sara Ellis. Made for Round 11 over at females20in20. Enjoy!

As always, comments are more than appreciated, as well as hints for making them better.
If you take them, please give credit where it's due.

After the short interlude of Clint Barton icons, we're back on track with the Bomer Icon Festival. This time, we revisit Season 3 of White Collar (aka the very season where the cutie pie that Neal Caffrey is with glasses takes full effect for the first time). Made for Round 64 of season20in20. Enjoy!
