hmmm, I think the only thing that doesn't work in the manipulation (Spuffy + Merlin base) is the lighting, which is very obviously different from the lighting of the base images. Otherwise, the manipulation size and blending is great. Lighting is the reason why I rarely attempt manipulations! Great work on the second banner!

Yep, I know. I tried shadowing etc. but couldn't get it to look right and in the end, just gave up. Bearing in mind this is only about my 8th/9th attempt at manipping, I think it came out okay. Honestly... it's a lot better than some manips out there! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! It wasn't made for anything in particular... sometimes I do just do art for the sake of it

Couple of updates. The first is a fic banner, made on request. The second is just a random blend, the idea for which popped into my head earlier and wouldn't leave til I made it.

I love your current banner, so much. The colors really give it a good feel. I'm jealous of your graphics skills.

Could I perhaps make a request for a custom wallpaper?

I just want to say that I have gone through all 13 pages of this and I am just floored by your abilities. I am SO going to print out the calendar and hang it on the wall of my room. Oh, and something funny I think you might like... I thought that one banner said Dirty Chicken, not Dirty Children. xD Keep up the AMAZING work!

Thanks to everyone who's commented. Long time no post... I've done plenty of art since the last time I was here, but for now I'll just post my most recent, a wallpaper of Drusilla as a pirate. Click for fullsize - 1280x800 I'll be back with more soon.

Thanks so much! I've not written many tutorials lately, my most recent are colouring tutorials and are posted to my LJ here and here. Now for some more of my recent artwork. There's a lot, so I'll split it up, the first batch...
