I promised you alts and extras, alts and extras you shall have....BUT FIRST a word from our sponsors

[red_satin_doll]

I wanted to get these out to y'all earlier in the week but sucky life circumstances drained the life out of me for a few days. I'm very grateful for the love and supportive I've gotten this week from my friends here who have offered virtual arms and shoulders to cry on, and let me rant about things various, be it my personal distress so I don't

I don't know how this works, but I really like the ones you made on 9-11. That episode, just....and that look that you captured in the icon....Gets me.

Also 24, with the scar. I always wonder about my alternate timeline. Watching that and seeing that scar makes me think maybe somewhere, in someone else's world, I'm don't have any scars at all.

I like those icons. A LOT.

Thanks hon!

I don't know how this works either (me = clueless) but I think pretty much what like you've done - leave comment, concrit, hugs, puppies, tea and cake, but no children. Leave the kids at home, I can't accept them as tribute because can't do a thing with them. *LMAO*

Since these are my alts/extras you can check out my actual entries or just go straight to voting posts and vote for your favorite/best icons - if you're into that (I have a hell of a hard time voting. I just like to look and enjoy.) http://btvsats20in20.livejournal.com/tag/round%201

That episode, just....and that look that you captured in the icon....Gets me.We're talking about the Beer Bad/Bargaing ones, right? Which of the two eps do you mean? (I assume bargaining because JFC on a cracker that episode KILLS me. Buffy wandering around Sunnyhell - I don't have words for it, just icons: http://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/36397. ( ... )

These are so fantastic and they clearly show the tremendous progress you've made as an artist. Bravissima!

Aw thanks sweetie! Appreciation is a fantastic motivator.

Icon number six is perfect. Sometimes I like your extras more! I love that one. Oh and "la belle dame sans merci" is kinda perfect too. The quote is so spotted on and I think it reflects how people see Buffy sometimes (Like, I think that she has a lot of "merci", but enemies and people with issues *coffcoff* Faith *coffcoff* can see her as cruel. And also Spike, I guess, sometimes)

[red_satin_doll]

Thanks sweetie! I don't know about perfect but #6 is the same as my AC#2, just darker color scheme here, and that one has gotten almost the most votes of any of my entries. I think I used a pixilation effect in ipiccy and enlarged the pixel size until I got just that one line.

Sometimes I like your extras more!

I know we talked about this before but when you snagged my Dawn & Buffybot icon that I thought was a failure, that was a huge lesson to me about how other people see things that I don't and my inability to judge my own work. But as the artist I'm not objective. (Sometimes. Also, this 20in20 - what I think is "the best" isn't necessarily the same as everyone else's!) Guess I need to improve on that!

(Like, I think that she has a lot of "merci", but enemies and people with issues *coffcoff* Faith *coffcoff* can see her as cruel. And also Spike, I guess, sometimes)

Pot, meet kettle.

Pot, meet kettle.

Indeed. Have to say Spike's poor me stuff seems to bother me more and more on rewatches.

But, I dunno. It's another one of those things I think the show sometimes absurdly fosters with weird writing.

[red_satin_doll]

Combo of the writing and Marster's acting.

I enjoyed your pimping, your icon artistry, and your commentary. I am so proud of you for continuing to explore different creatively awesome things with your icons. :)

[red_satin_doll]

Oh thanks so much sweetie! I thought I'd already responded to this yesterday, very sorry for not acknowledging sooner! *hugs*

That Spillow icon with the teddy bear just makes me laugh so much - too cute!

[eilowyn]

PRETTY! And I'm excited for the next btvsats20in20 round! You inspired my idea for the "levels" theme!

[red_satin_doll]

You inspired my idea for the "levels" theme!

I did? *squees*

(Btw, "levels" is the same thing as "collage", right?)

I'm really excited for the next round too - probably more excited to see what other people do than what I come up with.

And I think I'm gonna ask your help next time I do one of these posts - I like the way that icon tables look but there has to be a way to do one that isn't such a pain in the ass? (aka why can't I do one in rich text?)

[eilowyn]

(Btw, "levels" is the same thing as "collage", right?)

I'm pretty sure that's it

why can't I do one in rich text?

The only way I can do icon tables is to copy and paste the code into a basic text editing program. Rich text messes the html up. Sorry!

[red_satin_doll]

Doing the tables for the 20in20 felt like kind of a nightmare to me. I'll do it for the contest because that's a requirement and maybe it'll really push me to decide beforehand which icon is for what icon goes into which catagory - or better yet, make each icon specific to every catagory, and that's that.

Thanks again sweetie!
