THANK YOU sweetheart! And do do forgive me for the delay in reply to your lovely, detailed comments, because I always appreciate them so very much.
I kinda love more the alts for monochrome + text
No worries, I love every single version of that image - including the alts I didn't post AND the banner versions. (Oh yes, there are banner versions and they are awesome, if I do say so myself.) Putting together two of my favorite images of season 1 buffy and willow was a "why didn't I think of that sooner?" moment. Choosing the entry version was perhaps the single hardest decision this round.
while I think that 21 is very intersting conceptually - parallels are my kink! - I think that a complex image like that should work better in a large artwork.
I also really like the Bangel alts 3 and 4 and 5 because Buffy's face is too pretty.
Isn't she though?
And thank you again for your detailed comments, I always love the feedback. I like all the ones you mentioned except I'm not happy with Pop Art and AC4 was a last-minute "I need another image" thing-y after midnight. I did what I usually do - neglect the AC set until the very last minute and it shows I think.
BTW I was looking on your tumblr and there's some awesome meta there.

But ultimately I think you really used the better version. I just love the white in chosen icon.
YAAASS! *__* More! This is amazing! I never thought about the parallels of Buffy and Willow standing in front of each others and plus you PUT THERE THE QUOTE FROM THE HOURS. FAVORITE MOVIE! MY FEELINGS!!
And thanks! I linked some really insightful metas in my tumblr. I wanted to keep it cool and just reblog cool graphics and artworks but I kinda ranted a bit especially today XD
Thank you hon. I'm trying to use textures in new ways (new to me anyhow) and I loved the facets that one gave. But I love the smoother simpler versions too. My beloved Muse liked the version you did, maybe I should have gone with that?
I keep thinking I need to be more interesting, more layered but then I think, maybe I should have gone simpler? IDK I just love that image a ton.
plus you PUT THERE THE QUOTE FROM THE HOURS. FAVORITE MOVIE! MY FEELINGS!!
I had you in mind especially when I did that because I remembered our conversations. :) My Cat 5 icon, the "indie drama one" was inspired partly by the hours so I thought of your when I made it. I tried to put the quote in it but couldn't make it legible in icon size; I plan to fix that in the larger version.
And yes, there are more pretties coming up, ma'am.
And re: your tumblr I haven't seen the episode Billy and yet I had no problem following the conversation between you and drusillathekiller. (those are the sort of conversations that make me think about getting tumblr but I can barely handle what I've got as it is. *lol*) And also demandingbillydolls comments about S6 that you reflagged (YES thank you) - and the Leslie/Ben love. CANNOT get enough. They are my functional happy canon ship and Spuffy are my fucked up canon ship and I love them both in different ways.

Ultimately I think you made the right choice. I really like the version you picked and I think it's one of the best icons in the round (It's really, really hard to choose! I hope I did good. I always try to be fair but also appreciate something from every artist? Because you all have great styles) Plus I really like that shade of pink XDD
I think that - generally - simpler is better. Or, at least, that's how I feel even in RL (I'm a big fan of modern houses or ancient Sicilian ones but very simple) But I love how you keep your work so layered and complex and personally I especially loved the comparisons with Buffy and Willow standing right in front of each other. I think you should do more large artwork also because complex images need their space, but I'm so fond of icons. Miniature pretties. <3
Also maybe you should join Tumblr? I don't know, I just think that the fans would love your art and more artworks and Tumblr is all about pretty graphics. Maybe it's the right place for you more than me! XD But it does take a lot of time because when you get there you want to see everything and there's so much prettiness around.
Leslie and Ben are adorable, honestly! I just love the fact that Ben is smart, good looking, super-funny and a real nerd (Not those nerd jokes we often see on tv) and he doesn't feel "less mainly" because he has an amazing and powerful wife, but he actually admires her strenght. But I also like the other couples like Andy and April and ... wait, did you see S6? I won't add anything. Still, great characters. I also saw that Amy Pohler wrote a book and actually I would like to read that. Parks and Rec is beautiful! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
(And yes, Angel fucks up so much when it comes to women)
