Now it's our turn for the eye candy...even if it is in comic form As a female, I have also noticed the absurd amount of nudity. It is surprising to me, that a story line which has been so revered for promoting "Girl Power" and whose creator has furthermore started and now helms a woman's empowerment/anti-sexism group/movement ( Equality Now) would suddenly shift their nudity p.o.v. just because of the comic format. In other words, why would Joss, who is soooo into role reversal--in the male and female western societal normed roles--suddenly decide to completely flip-flop his content because now it's being delivered in a comic drawing rather than through live action television? It just makes me wonder, is Joss losing his connection with Buffy and the story? Or is this being purposely done for the story? Am I overthinking these things?!!??! Either way, I decided to quote you, NightLord, because I think it's fair to say that you as a male have had your fair share of eye candy in the past, oh, I don't know...EVER! We live in a society--globally--in which men are encouraged to look at women, to the point that there are billboard ads of half-naked women for all to see. Therefore, I personally, really appreciated all the male eye candy on Buffy, and is quite possibly why S6 is my favorite season (thank you GOD for James Marters!). That being said, I don't want you to take this personally, either, NightLord, you just raised a question that I thought would be interesting to throw in my two cents. Considering the rest of the character shifts in this intriguing S8, I would have to say that they are not acting out of character. I like to think of it as further character development, like in S4 when Willow was like "Oh, I got dumped....I'm GAY!" Don't get me wrong, I fully love that storyline and I think that Willow truly is gay. However, I remember watching the Tara love story develop and being so confused, because Willow had previously been sooooo in love with both Oz and Xander, both males. It really took me a while to get over the shock factor of the introduction of this new love interest to finally sit with the idea that Willow is just gay. Once I was able to do that, especially in re-watching the series, I understood the development of the character in a way that really felt right. I think that with the Dawn-Xander relationship I kinda flipped out, because I was really anti-Dawn for a long time (she's still really annoying in S5 and I purposely skip episodes to avoid her snottiness!). However, I am already beginning to accept that relationship as making sense, begrudgingly though it may be. I think it would be very in character for Xander to fall for Dawn, as she represents all of the things that stopped Buffy from loving him. She is on his level, and he is on hers. And we know how much of a crush Dawn had on Xand before she met Spike. Anyhoo, the comics are still new in my mind, and I think it'll just get some re-reading and pondering to come around to a lot of the character shifts. Great topic! *karma* -Jen

Here's an idea, just for fun and practice: Make a banner all about big-bads, but only use non-Buffy images of the actors, i.e. an image of Juliet Landau not in vamp-face, or even in Dru attire. This way the editing of the image, including coloring, textures, brushes, etc. will be all up to you to evoke the character from the blank canvas of the actor's head shot. It's tricky! -Jen

Thanks so much for your comment, EWR! It's not photoshop, it's Gimp, and I just messed around with it and joined a graphics forum to practice. I'm a member at Red Carpet & Rebellion where you can get tutorials, chat with other graphics makers, and compete in challenges. It really helped me. -Jen

I don't know how to make the images HQ, that's why they aren't. Totally understandable! The images could just be tweaked a little to look a little more HQ, that's all I was saying OK, SlayerLV, Now that I know not to be a moron and be all "what's th LV mean?!?" I'm gonna rate your stuffs...lol 7/10 The images are nice, the blending with the added blur around the ring is a nice touch, but the text feels a bit overdone, less font variation would look a little better, in my opinion. Otherwise, nice.

7/10 OK images, could be enhanced to look more HQ than they really are, I do like the multi-icon banner idea though, obviously
