I LOVE THIS ART!!!! You are beyond gifted at capturing the themes in my work. Have I told you how grateful I am? Well, I'm telling you again... and again... and again... and again...
You may tell me as many times as you wish, I never tire of hearing it!
I can't say enough how grateful I am that my work resonates with you, that it honors the story you told; or how grateful I am to be inspired by your work time and again!
That's a really gorgeous banner. I love the colours and that's a great font. The other versions are very interesting so it's fascinating to see how you arrived at the final one, which is the one that works best for me.
The way I arrived at the final version? The Cliff notes version is: I show my initial designs (with alts) to velvetwhip, she offers helpful feedback and either picks out a version, or I go back to the drawing board as I did here. I throw the new versions at her with all alts, she chooses.
So beautiful! Where did you get Buffy's image? I don't remember it (And yes, I kinda know almost every frame at this point. Kiki = nerd loser XD)
I do love the variants with cold colors. So amazing. I generally prefer warm ones, but the first variant and icon number 1 are just perfection. That shade of blue is lovely. Oh, and the gold one! <3
That's because it doesn't exist in exactly that form. It's two screencaps layered together. The fact that you, an expert on all things Buffy Summers, couldn't tell it was a new image is a HUGE compliment, Kiki!
Look again at the post - I added thumbnails of the two screencaps I layered to create Buffy's image, they're from Teacher's Pet and Wrecked.
nerd loser XD)
That better be tongue in cheek, missy otherwise I call bullshit on that. ;) Nerds are IN, baby. Nerds RULE.

THANK YOU velvetwhip selected that poster variant as her favorite for the story. I tossed all of these plus a few more at her and let her decide. Her taste and eye are superb.
Then she also picked icon #2 - so cool banner, warm icon, all bases covered!
I love both the deep blue and the gold one (10) too.

Wow! That some sort of manip I think, right? Amazing!
The gold variant is just love. More Buffy + gold, honestly. She inspires that sort of fierce royalty IMO. But I do love when you mix blue and red/pink. *points at icon*
Oooh, so pretty. And it does fit the story, so well.
I thought the blue one was perfect, but then I saw the others, and now I can't decide which one is my favorite. I think the blue-tinged one probably matches the mood of the story best, but the others, especially the gold one (the second) are all gorgeous in different ways.
Thank you sweetie! (And hey there you, Ms EF Author of the Month! *lol*)
I couldn't decide either, which is why I threw them all in Gabrielle's lap and let her choose. I love them all for different reasons (and these are not all the alts of that poster btw, so Gabrielle had others to try to pick from.)
I think mood wise she went with the right choice. the gold one (every one calls it "the gold one" and I know what they mean. Cute) gets mentioned a lot and it's one of my favorites too. I have a tendency to add lots of textures and go crazy because I can and it's fun, then pull back afterwards.

You know, I think you may be right....cool. (I don't think the distinction between what is and isn't a manip isn't as clear cut as it seems. )
