I've been going through my resource archives, and I have all these pics I really like of the btvs characters/actors.  So, here are my five favorite pictures (and my attempts to make them into pretty icons).  5 icons each of xAngel, xAnya, xBuffy, xCordelia, xDawn, xEthan, xFaith, xGiles

(you'll note I've done A-G... H-Z are forthcoming)

For the holidays this year I put together a couple of graphics for many of my favorite people.  Some are fic graphics, some are layouts, etc.  If you haven't taken a look at the fic they were created for, please take a look!!  Read!  It's my way of saying happy holidays to some of my favorite people.

( this way to the pretty )

here's a Cordelia as Snow White, Tara as Little Red Riding Hood, Anya as the Princess (and the pea), and others.  6 manips of the Btvs women in entirely different worlds.

( Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.  )

Also, a HUGE congratulations goes out to the wonderful authors and artists who were recognized today at the indigo_crypt awards! Particularly mary5958 for best lj layout & best general fan art, and sueworld2003  for best general fan art! 

( I'm delighted to have been recognized myself for a couple of things )

* riley headers & icons created for the Riley & Kate round at the_jossverse

( note - large size manips - click all for full size )

1 Buffy, 1 Faith, both worksafe....

( girls rock )

No previews this time, but if you like Giles at all, please check out the Giles manip.... it makes me very very happy for some *strange* reason.  The Buffy is a manip created for prompt 049 at still_grrr .  And I just have to say... painted manips are HARD! 

oh, i'm also reposting the Buffy and Giles thingy I put up yesterday so I can link to this post from graphics comms

( I'm doing homework...every once in a while )

I've had a strange yen to use Angel promo pics lately.  There are a couple btvs in there too, not to worry.

Gunn, Angel, Cordy, Wes, Xander, Buffy, and a tiny bit of Fred & Willow.

( and if a header works for you - i'm happy to customize! )

Cordy (not worksafe), Buffy, and Wes

It feels like it's been forever since I've posted graphic-type things.  I keep getting dissatisified with my icons, and then liking banners but really only being motivated to create them *for* people (which is actually really fun, but I'm feeling lazy about gathering those together at the moment into one post).

Anyway, here's the other stuff I've done lately.

Teasers:
.

( inside find 16 icons and 10 banners )

I was in a mood... a maniping mood.  So, here's what you get...

3 samples:
. .  

2x Buffy
1x Giles
1x Cordelia
1x Tara/Spike

( here )

Under the cuts you'll find 8 banners - Dawn, Illyria & Wes from my postings for the first two rounds at the_jossverse), and a Xander/Angel banner (and matching icons for 'em all).  Don't know why I've been into banners lately, but I have.  If anyone wants them customized, I'm happy to add text to any and all!

Behind the second cut you'll find two Buffy manipulations I did the other night.  They're not worksafe, but they were a mighty fun set of pictures to put together.

teasers: .

( banners, icons oh my )

sometimes, model and actress just come together, you know?

( two NOT SAFE FOR WORK buffy manips - yes, nudity )

windandsummer requested Giles/Xander and Giles/Spike colorbars... and so I got all excited and made them!  And some icons, to boot.

( icons anyone? )

( colorbars anyone? )

( and in other arty stuff... )

Also, some fabulous person nominated the banner I made for soft_princess's Dreamland fic at the Bodice Ripper Awards.  Thank you kind and sweet person!!

( You get fangs, I'll get horny... I mean.  )

Well, in a frenzy of manipping pleasure I have attempted to once again create more graphics from the responses I got on my "tell me what to create meme"... I give you some non worksafe pictures of Buffy with swords (and one that's Buffy, bound).

teasers: /

( the lady and the sword )

In honor of the weekend, I guess... two sets of Buffy/Giles stuff based around the episode "Helpless"  (one more loosely than the other)

.:.

( this way )

In response to a request for Buffy with a sword (from my artwork request post), I give you two manips...

( buffy and faith... faith is not worksafe )

 Rather than do a fic year in review I thought I'd do a kind of summary of my graphics.  Below you'll find the pieces I kind of fell in love with (or the ones that turned out far better than I had any right to expect, or heck, the ones I was most surprised by).
