I did more than just make icons for fall_for_sx.... what else? movie posters! I can't help these things, I adore them. I've noticed that there are movie poster comms out there now. And I love it! So, addiction, here you go again.  The other best part?  Reading fic I would have never read before (I tend to run screaming from angst or unhappy stuff, even when it's by good writers, because I am a shrinking violet.  And yet some of the most poetic, or haunting fic is written around the characters when they're not in a happy place).

( oh spike, and xander. you are too cute. even when there's angst )

teasers:
   

( oh dear, it's that american idol again - Adam, Kris & Kradam )

( all the s/x i could handle - icons and one wallpaper )

( some old merlin icons that I'd meant to post ages ago )

And finishing with movie posters ...

I offered to make movie posters for fics (either completed, WIP, or forthcoming).  Inside you'll find the results!  I hope you like looking (and perhaps reading the fic attached to them) as much as I enjoyed making them.  And if you do like the fic, don't forget to feedback your author as well.  :D

( complete fics now available at livejournals near you! )

( works in progress in journals now! )

( coming soon! perhaps even to spring with xan! )

( a special tribute to Conspiracy Theory )

And THEN, I had this idea that I'd make a movie poster for every story posted at spring_with_xan this year. So, I made it up to April 26th before I totally buckled. So if you missed an early fic, here you go! If you wrote a fic, here you go too!

( here you go )

from SGA.  from SG-1.  from Torchwood. from Harry Potter. from Doctor Who. from Dark Night/Batman. and from the fandom that will always be nearest and dearest my heart: Buffy (and Angel).

Still curiously liberating.  Still have more to come.  Still working on the thesis, promise.  And eventually an icon post, believe it or not.

( now showing at websites near you! )

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 )

There once was a fic.  A massive, intense, beautiful fic that starts out at the bottom of a pit in Sunnydale (sorta) and climbs to dizzying heights.  Written by two of my most favorite Buffy-verse authors.  Every line is love.  And since I first discovered it I've read it, and re-read it, and honestly if the computer screen or the links had the ability to wear away they would have with the number of times I've returned to take in a chapter or two, or go through the whole long ride one more time.  So you'll understand that I couldn't just make one graphic for this fic.  I couldn't even just make two.  Instead, like the fic itself that has 25 "squares", I've made a graphic for each chapter.  Each is a little visual ditty that hopefully will evoke a little something for each of you that have read it (or if you haven't, please, go read it).

So, I'd like to introduce to you to:



( don't forget to start at square one here )

Today was my posting day at at fall_for_sx... I did not do my usual spectacular spammmm. But I still think there are some pretty things in here... manips, banners and icons, oh my!

teasers:   

( icons oh yay )

( banners oh my )

( the pretty boy manips (worksafe though provocative, i hope) )

So I had this crazy "idea" for my spring_with_xan day - I thought I'd make wallpapers (and virtual book covers) of my favorite Xander stories.  Of course, I have a list of a dozen stories I intended to include and I only managed to make six, but hey, I think I'm doing well.  So these wallpapers all come with links to the fic they're inspired by.  

( The quotes in these wallpapers are theirs, but the love is totally sharable )

now, for icon teasers:
    

( I'm not gonna waste the perfect comeback on you now. But don't think I don't have it. Oh yes, it's time will come! )

( picspam - my fav xan moments 3.13 through 3.16 )

For the holidays I put together some graphics for some truly wonderful people.  Many of these are actually fic graphics, and so I don't feel too guilty reposting them here - especially if you all haven't taken a look at the fic they were created for!  So this is, in a way, a recs post with some sparklies attached.  And my way of saying thank you to some of my favorite people (well, thank you and happy holidays). It was also much faster than baking cookies for them all. :D

( Some of you may have seen some of these, but I know you haven't seen all of these, so check 'em out! )

and if you've been wondering when the heck i'm going to actually do a *real* graphics post with sharable art, it's forthcoming!  soon!

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!!

 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).

It's my pleasure to repost my little entries for my day at fall_for_spike.  Although I didn't get half as much done as I would've liked, and I'm in love with some of these half as much as they deserve, there are others that I simply frigging adore for no good reason.  I hope you like some of 'em too.

Anyway, here they are, a whole bunch of the pretty man with the yummy cheekbones.

In a last gasp of graphic productivness, I bring you my postings for my day at fall_for_sx  (reposted here because I'm cooky that way...)

Teasers:

Inside:
[19]x Icons
[07]x Wallpapers (1 is not worksave at full size)
[06]x Banners
[02]x Manips (1 is not worksafe - no dangly bits, but still)
[06]x FO Banners

( yep, i finally succumbed to the lure of spander )

I don't know about you kids, but I'm getting a little stale on the icon thing.  So this will be my last icon post for a bit (not graphics - I seem to still like those) but icons. 

The idea with this set was to capture the space in between... I'm not sure if it totally worked.  You tell me.
