Title: Happy and Romantic Season 6 Banners
Creator: thenewbuzwuzz
Notes: It's already Sunday where I live, so it's our second free-for-all day, and I'm here with my artistic vision of season 6 as a kitten cuddle pile! Okay, that's only the second banner. The first is romantic but not happy

I really love the first one. If this is the result after such a short time of practice, you really should consider adding banner making to your creative work.

Thank you very much! <3 I am indeed considering it. I wouldn't want it to take over most of my creating time, but I'm thrilled that it's a thing I can do now.

Agreed. I think she's found another talent!

Go girl, go.! :)

These are a great start to banner-making. Thank you for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more.

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Thank you! <3

I love the first one for it's message and images from one of my favorite sad scenes between them, and the second one for both it's text which is so very them, and with more images from wonderful scenes! Good job. I think you've discovered a new talent.

I love that Hell's Bells scene so much. Thank you!! <3

Really nice! Love them both! I've never managed to get good at banners; I really have so much respect for those of you who can create such beauty!! Thanks for sharing them!

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Yay! Thank you very much! Re: getting good, I stumbled upon good software and tutorials that I could link if you wanted.

That would be awesome! I currently, LUCKILY, have two wonderful people eager and willing to make banners for my stories, but you know, things change over time. It wouldn't be bad for me to have some skills. Thanks much!

Cool! This is the online program I use:
https://pixlr.com/editor/
It does most of the things that Photoshop does, apparently, but it's free.

This explained layers to me (you might be beyond that stage)

This explained textures to me (it's for Photoshop, but works the same way in Pixlr).

The top one is amazing with the progression of Spikes and lovely layers. The color scheme is wonderful.

And the thing I love most about the second is Buffy's smile in the bottom left corner. It's not an image I've seen a lot and my eye was drawn right to it!

Thank you very much! :)) I did try to pick a less common image from that Dead Things scene.
