Thank you! I'm looking again at the faces in the icon and I'm assuming you erased a lot of lines (what is it with both Levins and Isaacs needing to add all these weird little contour lines to Buffy and Spike's noses? I get why the lines are there in theory but in practice...
Anyhoo - SPUFFY POST-COITAL CUDDLES! *SQUEES* The cutest thing EVAH.
Your icon confirms that when it comes to intimate and delicate moments, I much prefer Levin, at least in this series.
I just read 10.17 btw and I've GOT to stop reading any other part of fandom's interpretations, because the handwringing and naysaying from all quarters just takes away all the fun. I thought there was some really interesting character interaction in that episode - everybody got a moment in the spotlight.
I love that Anya icon. I suppose I should have guessed that one was yours, because it has the same delicate quality and lovely, lovely colouring as some of your previous ones
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the feedback! I actually didn't have to do a lot to that icon, Emma was already lovely in that screen cap. It's gratifying to know that you think I'm getting better with color in my icons, but that's been a real challenge for me.
because of the crown of thorns effect you also used in one of your Buffy Ipseity icons. I thought it suited Dru very well too.
Thank you hon! I actually used it in a IWRY icon for the last round of slayerstillness - but it would have been a pretty cool effect in the Ipseity artwork, wouldn't it? I hadn't even thought of that, durn.
I do think the Anya and Dru were my favorites so I'm happy they won, but I liked all the icons I submitted this round. I thought the red on the Xander icon was pretty cool too; and it wasn't a "bloodspatter" texture (yes, I do have actual bloodspatter textures on hand); I think it was one of the textures from lookslikerain that just happened to resemble blood when I played around with it a bit.
The Oz one, I was thinking of Tibet and mediation and altered states when I made that, but also the fact that his mind is so much more complex than he shows on the surface. (That's the image from Earshot when he's musing on the fact that Buffy can read everyone's thoughts.)
Thank you so much for all your feedback, and thank you again for the icon!
