Thanks It's in the fanart category of the RWSA awards, here's the LJ: community.livejournal.com/rwsawards/Well, I have been feeling very uninspired lately, so last night I asked for prompts on my LJ to try and get the graphics muse going again. Got a few prompts, and I just finished the first one. This was from buffy_the_vamp6, who said "Oh, I would love to see your take on Vamp!Buffy or Vamp!Spuffy." This is what I came up with for vamp!Buffy... Comments are definitely appreciated! I will be working my way through some of the other prompts (I hope, anyway!) so will be posting them when done, too.

Nice. Great use of the spike-quote.
A shiny/3-dimensional/shadow touch to the blood on her chin would be good.

That was the part of the banner I was most unsure of, whether to leave it in or take it off but thanks for pointing that out - looks better now

Thanks The pic of Spike is from The Gift, when he's sitting on the stairs leading to the upper level, and the pic of Buffy is from Fool for Love, when she's looking down at Spike who's kneeling in front of her.

Banner I made for a challenge at the LJ community spuffy_fantasy. It's an all-human comm, if you were wondering about the pics used. There's placeholder text, because it's an art-before-fic challenge.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was away. Anyway... something new. Bear in mind that this is the first thing I've made in over two weeks. Anyway, this is a banner for a fic I've got the idea for, but haven't actually written yet. Bit backwards, but I figured that making a banner for it might prompt the muse and get me to start writing. I think from the banner you might be able to get some of where I'm going with the fic, maybe

This is absolutely beautiful! I especially like the use of red smudges around the left corner.
Also, just want to say, your tutorial thread has made my graphic-making so much better. Thanks again for putting that up!

Thanks again for putting that up! Thank you! I worry that I overuse the radial blur in my graphics (which is how I go the smudges around the edges) - but I really like the effect. I'm glad my tuts have helped! If there're any tuts you would like to see written on any techniques you see in my graphics, let me know. Hee, thanks! I decided to just make something to get back into it. I did a banner this morning, but it's for my scribes fic so I won't post it yet. Got a couple of requests to work through, so might be posting something new later.

Yup! I was just looking through my graphics folders on my laptop and came across this one, unfinished. So I just added some text, and here it is.

Well... this was a request, but I'm not very happy with how it came out. I don't think it's bad (correct me if I'm wrong! ) but it just doesn't look how I wanted, nothing went the way I wanted it to when making it and I just feel very blah about it in general. But... I made it, so I'll share it.
