These are some of the first badges I did when I started getting really hardcore about wanting to make custom badges. The top four were done the night before the SKIN concert at Anime Expo 2007, since I hadn't realized there'd be a gift drop off. I was exhausted, out of my mind with stress, but even now I think that despite their problems, those are some of the best badges I've made yet.

Although I'm still unhappy that the oranges on the Kitty badge don't show, since I put a lot of effort into making a really nice gradient on the tabby tail. The Zac badge also suffers from the usual 'these colors are too bright for the computer to handle' syndrome. Oh well.
