Xaphania, would you be up for a challenging art request? It's a fic banner for "Sad Song in His Heart". I don't know if you read that, but it's a story that involves Spike, Buffy, the Buffybot and the Decoy.
So it'd involve using a Spike screencap I've picked out in the center, surrounded by three caps of Buffy/SMG that I've picked out surrounding him.

I haven't read that one yet (but it's in my 'to read' bookmarks folder lol), but I'd be happy to make a banner for it Just let me know exactly what you want (size, colour, general feel, text etc.) and I'll try and work on it tomorrow.

The story opens with Spike sitting in a bar and the best screencap I could find to fit it was this one (though in the story he's wearing his black duster and in the cap he isn't so grrr, but it best fits the mood so...): I wanted to use three images of "Buffy": Whichever one of the Buffybot you think would work best: This: And this (sorry this one doesn't want to be a thumbnail...): i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg255/egustafs19/Fic/Sad%20Song%20in%20His%20Heart/maxim-december-2007-030.jpgSo Spike would be the main center image. The "Buffy" images would be surrounding him (whatever way you think looks best). The main focus of the Buffy images is their faces so it could even be where they're fading out into the background while Spike is clearer. I'd like the main background color of the piece to be dark, mostly black or grey tones. And maybe an offset tone of red splashes. The colors are important to the theme of the story. The main point of the story is that Spike has given up on love and then he's faced with these three versions of Buffy. So it's about loss of faith and confusion of identity. Text: Sad Song in His Heart by Angearia Sorry if this is uber specific and difficult. Let me know if anything sounds like it might not work. Thank you a thousand times in advance!

great! okay, so my story is called Because I Am Empty, it's season 7, mostly canon, except for instead of getting with Kennedy, Willow falls in love with Faith. But she's got a big struggle cause she doesn't want to be unfaithful to Tara, even though Tara's dead. it's written form both Willow and Faith's point of view. so any pictures of Faith, Willow and Tara, nothing too sexual or anyhting, but other than that, just have fun and be creative. for text, just the title, and for size, teh same size as Emmie's is fine.
thanks a bushel! much karma coming your way!

JW, how's this? I didn't really know what style to make the banner in, so it's just a sort of general Willow/Faith one. Hope it's all right

Glad you like it Made this last night, another fic banner. I'm not overly happy with how Spike looks in this one, but by the time I'd decided I didn't like the way he was looking, I'd done too many layers and copy merges to be bothered to go back and change it.
