Xaphania, how did you get that flower? Is it a brush? It just makes the banner perfect

It was a stock image from DeviantArt - I cut away the background and colourised it purple.

May I request a Spike-wallpaper? 800x600-ish?
I want it sexy(hard to make a Spike wallpaper that isn't sexy tough).
Maybe a pic with a you-know-you-wanna-f@#k-me-look?

Sure, I'll have a go at this later. Any particular pics of Spike in mind? Or a preference of which season the pics come from?

I think I would prefer sceencaps more than photoshoots, otherwise, your choice.

I usually try playing around with the blend modes, or adding some textures on top but erasing away from the faces and features. Or you could try adding a drop shadow, to give the picture a little more depth.

Skytteflickan88: I found this one quite difficult, none of the first few attempts I made came out very well, I didn't really have a clear idea of what I wanted to do. That said, here's what I came up with... EDIT: And this was the banner made for my first duel:

Thank you! I decided to do one for Sierra in a similar style, but I don't think it looks as good as the Victor one, it was difficult to find a HQ pic of that shot of her.

Xaphania, whoa! Love the Spike banner showing his character progression. And all these banners are just awesome. I do agree, there's something amazing about the Victor one. It could be the colors with his Bond-esque clothes. The black, red and white just make for dramatic imagery.
Beautiful work as always! *applauds*

Thank you! I was thinking, after I'd finished the Sierra banner, that perhaps a pic of her from the spy episode would have worked better, but I couldn't be bothered to do it again ;D This is my newest graphics duel graphic, where the theme was unconventional pairings.

And a couple more made today... I saw that screencap of Fred and had to turn it into a blend with her on a music box. A fic banner I just this minute finished

I love the look of both of those!! The Amy Acker one I didn't know it was a music box until I read the comment beneath, makes much more sense now!
