Oh sweetie! I was so anxious about these, I hoped you'd approve. thank you for putting my heart at ease.
Snag away by all means! I did Smile yesterday and finished Cat1 just this morning, so literally the two of the last ones of the bunch! I was in an exhausted "Oh what the hell how would I know what people like but I'm having fun and putting myself into these"mood." So they were the latest babies in the bunch and kind of dear to me: my love of VW''s pretty little mouth, my sense of humor and my aesthetic sensibilities and love of vintage photography and art right there.
So it's extra special that you love those two Gabrielle - and that YOU love those. (If you'd like me to personalize either one let me know btw.)
Also If you have any trouble downloading let me know.
(There is something wrong with the formatting of this entry, though, and it messed up my Friend's Page. Just thought I should tell you.)*headdesk* Rats
( ... )
If you want to personalize Cat 1, that would be FAB! I am so glad that the icons I love are ones you love as well! You did right by our Willow!
Also, the "messing up" is a HUGE block of space at the bottom that extends down between the tag line and the reply line all the way to the bottom of my sidebar boxes.
Do you want "velvetwhip" or "gabrielle" on it? ( a pretty script, I think?)
You did right by our Willow!
I just let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding. *whew*
And sorry it's giving you trouble, I have no idea why. I just checked my friends page and it looks just fine. bangel_4e moderated and posted my teaser post on 20in20 and that came up just fine as well. Your friends page is the new default look that was forced on all of us, or the old one?
HOLY HELL - you're feeling apathetic about these why? They are literally awesome. I do think you made a good call about the ones you selected to enter though, they are superior than the others - though I love 7, 9, 11 & 13 absolutely to pieces.
All of the Category ones are awesome.and there's something so SEXY about "Hands"
Because I've been working on them nearly a month when I wanted to have them done weeks ago and most of the time I felt so uninspired. Your fic banner? I made that and tons of Buffy icons when I was struggling with these. Buffy is as easy as taking breath for me.
The ones Gabrielle picked out - Guess Who and Cat one (close ups on the mouth) I finished today and yesterday when I was so tired all I could do was throw up my hands, say screw it, and have fun.
I do adore the Catagory set but that's one of my favorite images ever anyway. SO easy to work with. If I hadn't been working on it for this I would have used it for a slayerstillness set.
I do think you made a good call about the ones you selected to enter though, they are superior than the others - though I love 7, 9, 11 & 13 absolutely to pieces.Thanks! My brain and eyes hurt from all the overthinking. The alts you mentioned are all ones that were very nearly entries, along with #1 - I LOVED working on Vamp Xander/Vamp Willow icons

I LOVED working on Vamp Xander/Vamp Willow icons. Aren't they adorable in a sexy-dangerous way?
TOTALLY. The thought of Willow/Xander is generally squicky for me, it's not a pairing I can seem to get on board with. Vamp!Willow and Vamp!Xander on the other hand? SO MUCH YES. Darkly sexy, with obvious Spike/Dru undertones - who are also full of adorable with their twisted ideas of devotion.
And I think the whole hands thing with Vamp Willow is so well placed against regular Willow because of the confident/meek contrast in how they both control their bodies. So interesting.
Although I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea of sensuality = evil. *shakes fist at Joss' victorian mentality*
LALALA I'm pretending I don't see dubious subtext because it ruins the fun LALALA
(seriously though, Joss-man. Fix up, look sharp, stop being so scared of the vagina)
VX/VW are meant to emphasize just how fucked up X/W would be (not that we haven't figured it out for ourselves, thank you) because even as vamps there's this weirdly hot brother/sister incest vibe going on.
Darkly sexy, with obvious Spike/Dru undertones - who are also full of adorable with their twisted ideas of devotion.
DEFINITELY.

Right? (I saw the vagina dentata monster in the comics and nearly died.)
The hair porn and it's corresponding alternate are gorgeous! I also love the same cap pics and the alternates for it - you did a lot with the same cap!
lexi if I'd had my way, every single one of my entries would have used that cap, or at least cat and AC. A rainbow version of cat 2 was supposed to be levels. I've got alternates I didn't post here.
The AC's were the biggest problem because Catagory felt like "AC" to me - I forgot I had five more to do!
If I ran fandom multiple icons of any single image would be encouraged!
I like the hairporn ones too - I think those were among the first ones I made.
And look at you using icon tables like a boss!
Um...actually, I kept fucking it up and running to bangel_4e for help and postponed my entries a day. This took two full days to get right. (I was this close to running to you and pleading "Do this please!")
I know I layered a lot of textures (a grunge texture and a light texture I think - I love alternating those sorts of effects, like hard and soft, clean and dirty) and bumped up contrast and saturation a bit but the actual hows of it, nope.

Mind if I snag those icons?

I love the crop you used for 2nd Claim. As well as your cut on Levels ... both really interesting.
Your Cat Set is amazing .... not one I don't like there. The colours and/or the crops are spectacular, on what is quite a simple image. Well Done.
Love AC 2 & 5 ... and the unusual image, with stunning colours of AC 3 is truly inspired.
