Xaphania's Artwork IV

That Spuffy banner is amazing! That SMG manip is flawless. 🙂

 

[Scarlett Blade]

WOW!! *stares with awe* those banners are flawless!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

One new banner. 🙂

Thing I like about these banner battles is they're taking me out of my 'comfort zone'. I usually stick to making Spuffy stuff, or artwork for characters I actually like, but in my battle with Jenn I've made Bangel art, Xander art, random red bird art...

😀

 

[Silverspike]

Oh thats really lovely. I love the hot colours. 😀

 

[xaphania]

Thanks!

Got another battle banner... this time slightly Spander. 😱

 

[Silverspike]

Oh I like that very much. 😀

New wallpaper. In a way this is a remake of this blend I made a while back.

As I was making it a story sort of evolved around the premise: Spike's the evil fairy king and he's kidnapped Buffy and is keeping her captive in his castle. Of course, over time, they fall in love.

The lyrics I used are from a Within Temptation song (The Truth Beneath the Rose) and I've used them as part of Buffy's PoV. Spike was cruel to her in the kidnapping and beginnings of her capture, but as time's gone on she fell in love with him, but can't reconcile herself to that fact; she feels guilty, as if she is submitting to the darker side of herself and is asking to be forgiven. Thereby mirroring the canon Spuffy relationship.

Have I given this too much thought? 😉

Your icons floored me. I was literally staring at the screen going "DAMN I wish I could make icons like Amy!"

 

[Silverspike]

Oh god these are amazing! I adore 'home sweet home'. I so suck at making icons myself. :lol:
