Battle: HisMrs vs. Lyri

[faeriegrrl27]

Amazing piece, Lyri! I *love* the evil hand ep!

And for the record, this competition is all kinds of awesome. There are so many great artists here. There should be a tournament of some kind. You know, the winner plays another and so on. Because I'm totally loving this!

 

[Willow My Love]

I agree with the post above me. I love this competition!

 

[BuffyElevated]

Girl you had me stumped for sure on this one!! Here were my rules:

You must art the death scene of a much loved character (NOT a demon or a guest star)
You must use this quote: in balance with this life, this death (thanks to Kean for finding that for me)
You must use five separate textures and one stock of your choosing.

Here's my piece:

Oh, that's so pretty! I love the little shot of Xander in the background, and the red/black/white.

Urgh, seriously? Is there even a close up image of a hand in Firefly that isn't the Hands of Blue? LOL, I'll have to definitely think on this!!

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

Wow Britt.. that is amazing. Brings up memories, it's emotional, and that little spider web with drops in theright up corner is awesome!

 

[Lyri]

So, here we go. Not entirely happy with it, but it came out better than I was expecting...considering I went in to this with the idea of coming out with something NOT BLACK, I think it's safe to say it definitely had a mind of it's own, lol.

My rules:

*You must include 4 different textures.
*You must only use screencaps from "Firefly".
*There must be a close-up of someone's hand somewhere in the piece.

Alrighty, then, moving swiftly on, HisMrs:


You can ONLY use caps from Dollhouse, but NOT Echo
You MUST include the lyrics from any Linkin Park song
You can ONLY use textures by Marilyne

AND GO! 😀

 

[Big Damn Hero]

Man, both of you are so tallented. Colour me jealous!

 

[faeriegrrl27]

Lyri, that's stunning! It's my favorite piece so far. WOW!

 

[Skanky Vamp]

Here's my piece:

Okay, that is really good. The deep contrast and what not. And the transparent this death over the other one. I think that is what I like the most.

 

[BuffyElevated]

You can ONLY use caps from Dollhouse, but NOT Echo
You MUST include the lyrics from any Linkin Park song
You can ONLY use textures by Marilyne

AND GO! 😀

OMG.... You are trying to make my brain explode, huh? LOL This is going to be tough; I know nothing about Dollhouse except for Echo. LOL

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

Wow. Awesome Lyri. I love that bubble in all the blackness!

 

[BuffyElevated]

Ok, since I do not watch "Dollhouse" and the only character I know is Echo, it took me a LONG time to be able to pull this piece off. LOL I finally found some random screencaps from an episode of "Dollhouse" called "Needs" (1.08) and was inspired to make this piece:

Now for your new assignment, Lyri! 🙂

*You must use screencaps from a Season 5 episode of "Angel"
*You must use a closeup of Fred's face
*You must incorporate the quote: “I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.” - Albert Einstein

 

[Lyri]

Is this my last piece for the battle? Ooh, exciting!!!

Anyway, this was kinda tough, but I felt that the quote fit this scene the best, so I went with it.

And, this is HisMr's last piece for the battle! Woot!!

Your focus of the piece MUST be Faith
You HAVE to use lyrics by Christian Kane OR Steve Carlson
You can ONLY use LIGHT colors. This shouldn't be a dark piece.

And I'm off to relax now, lol!

 

[Marisa]

I love both of your pieces they are so good.

 

[faeriegrrl27]

That is great! And you're right- the quote is perfect!

 

[BuffyElevated]

OMG I totally forgot about this final piece. I thought I'd done it already!!

Now for the piece. My rules were:

Your focus of the piece MUST be Faith
You HAVE to use lyrics by Christian Kane OR Steve Carlson
You can ONLY use LIGHT colors. This shouldn't be a dark piece.

I used the song "Seven Days" by Christian Kane for this piece... These two lines really spoke to me about how Faith was on a mission to find herself because she never really knew where she fit in.

[Lyri]

That's awesome, honey! And I LOVE that song, it's definitely one of my favorite Chris songs!!! If you haven't heard it, give it a listen, you'll be surprised, I'm sure, lol.

Lovely piece.

miromurr agrees: Is the background picture an actual graveyard?

Yes, it's a stock pic taken by a friend of mine.
