Wow wow wow! You are so talented! I have Spuffy wallpaper on my computer now. I love them ALL. I'm soooooooo glad you're a Spuffy shipper! I'd be so sad to see so many awesome Bangel pieces. LOL

By the way, where can I read the story where the Cullens enter the Buffyverse? That sounds great! Where's most of the good Buffy fanfic posted?

Thanks! When I saw that photoshoot the other day, I knew I had to use it, and this challenge presented a great opportunity.

Thanks so much! I'm glad I'm a Spuffy shipper, too 😛

Is that my fic you're talking about? If so, it's here: Stupid, Shiny Vampires. I've got another one called Fix Me which also mocks Twilight, lol.

Depending on what kind of fanfic you're interested in reading, I can PM you links. I've read a lot since I found the fandom, haha.

Just one banner today, this is a fic banner, one of my January requests.

I've not done anything in this scrapbook-style for a long, long time. Hopefully, it works.

 

[BuffyElevated]

Awww, cute! 😀 What fic is that for?

 

[Tasha]

I love that pic of Cordy you used. 🙂
Very nice.

 

[xaphania]

Thanks, everyone!

Awww, cute! 😀 What fic is that for?

It's for this fic by snowpuppies.

ubi4soft agrees: Cordy and Dawn? never think of that

I don't think it was a shippy fic, more friendshippy. 🙂

ETA: I just realised I didn't credit for that last banner, so here're the resources I used:

Thank you! Hm, were you hotlinking it from my photobucket? Cos I move files around sometimes.

Something a little bit different now, a Spike/Buffy picspam inspired by the Florence and the Machine song A Kiss With a Fist is Better than None.

:: a kiss with a fist (is better than none) ::

You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap

Your slap don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same

Love sticks
Sweat drips

A kick to the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none

A kiss with a fist is better than none

I broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor

You broke my leg in return
So sit back and watch the bed burn

Love sticks
Sweat drips

Break the lock if it don't fit

Seriously, I wish I had a 10th of your skill. The concepts you come up with are things I wouldn't even think of. 😀

Thanks so much! Sometimes, like with the banner in my post above, the concept will just fall into my head fully formed and I just have to realise it on the screen. Other times, it takes a bit of thought, LOL.

I wanted to make some graphics tonight, but I didn't want to do anything too complicated.

So, I decided I would:

-make small banners using pictures of SMG that I've never used before
-experiment with colouring
-use an extreme minimal amount of textures (as you may have noticed, I usually use a LOT of textures).

So, these are really just experiments in colouring. I've added in the base image of each banner so you can see the colouring that was added.

And some matching icons...

So... nothing too complex from me tonight. Just colouring experiments. 🙂
