BtVS Icons

[debris4spike]

Being without internet meant I wondered if I would get to download the screencaps I needed to finish this set of icons.  Luckily I had already done a few, so I could start, and hope.  Then I got my pc sorted, the internet back (YAY!) and managed to d/l the final caps to make the last few icons.  They were made for round 2 of btvsats20in20 and my theme is that

First things first - AC 5. I love your use of borders and bands in general and here you've not only color matched to her sweater - you've matched the exact color and pattern of the BANDS on her sweater which are barely visible to the eye. You have ONE HELL of an eye, m'dear

Glad the colours worked ... GIMP has a "colour match" tool so I could match the bands for the frame.

I hadn't realised that I had done that in the Cat 5, getting them looking down, via the use of the background.

Cat 3 is a GIMP tool called photocopy. Yes, it does sometimes work well. In this one once I had done it I selected certain sections and tinted the white. I used it on this icon, as well.

The colour match tool is great - and not just for me ... but you know that you have the right shade.

Glad you liked the images .... I always try to pick slightly different images, as the shows I do are popular, so there are loads of images out there.

Cordy & Buffy had a great storyline overall, didn't they? I like that image of Buffy as it is her as "the girl" ... which she spent the next 7 years wanting to get back that normality and peace.

One thing that struck me is that you like the image because the more you look at it, the more you see. I think it tends to be pictures like that that adorn my walls ... whether you like a scene/person or not, it is good to see something different each time you view it.

These are great! I love the colouring and your solid/textured backgrounds always look really beautiful. My faves are hair porn, guess who (great image choice), plus one, sorrow (the dark colouring really draws the emotion out),, first, cat 2, cat 3 (love the artistic effect here), cat 5, ac 1, ac 4 and ac 5 :D

Thank you very much - I had never worked on season 1 before, so I am glad that the hard work payed off!
