1) This was my initial banner idea, a girl lounging about and a black Mokona bringing her refreshment. Somehow it ended up with both fluff-balls + the dreaded drops.

2) Just as I'd finished the first draft I decided to remove the girl to put more focus on the Mokona and the banner text. Droplets became puddles, a heart was added instead of one "o" and to add more fun I threw in some baby blocks.

The response was to fix up white Mokona in all its pixel-y hideousness, alter the second pair of baby blocks to other colour and letters, match the heart to the pink "anime community" shade, and alternate the puddles white and pink + raise them up a bit.

3) One Mokona remaining in lieu of the white one being impossible to fix, and only one pair of baby blocks still standing because I couldn't be bothered to tamper with the other set.
