10in30 Round 2: My Entries

[red_satin_doll]

The theme for Round 2 is "starcrossed lovers" ; I had snagged "Buffy" as my claim before the theme was announced so of course, my subject is Bangel. (Dedicated to bangel_4e, who has recently announced she is going on hiatus from art and LJ for a while due to wrist pain.  I am still moping about this.*)   Also I have been dreadfully sick this weekend, hence

Awwwh, the original OTP! XD

I basically love all the bed scene/IWRY icons: 3, 4, 12, 13 and 15 out of time one. So fitting!

Thank you sweetheart!

I was originally planning to spread the images out over the seasons more evenly but, IDK, IWRY has so many compelling images to chose from.

These are fabulous!!!! Now I want you to make icons for all my IWRY fics! You really evoked the beauty and hopelessness of their relationship here!

WOW! What a compliment! You completely made my day!

(I don't know if I ever told you but snowpuppies SUPERB poster for "Blink or You'll Miss What you Never Saw" is one of the pieces that made me want to become a digital artist.)

Wow! That is so neat to know. It really is an amazing banner, isn't it? I miss Snowy. She was extraordinary to the nth power!

It's funny but just today - as I was emerging from the haze of whatever virus I picked up from my sweetie this weekend - I remembered how snowy mentioned she'd try to write a Buffy/Tara fic sometime and never got around to it. I know, like everything else she did it would have been AMAZING.

You know how there are some artists who gets tons of nominations and awards and you think "What the heck does everyone see in them?" Snowy was the absolute opposite - the artist for whom there were not enough superlatives in the thesaurus much less awards to hand out to her.

Which is to say that yes, I miss her presence too.

Your use of light is really pretty! I also like the coloring on 1 and 3. :)

Merci! Gracias!

Gosh, they are beautiful! Love #4, great effect on that one! I sadly had to drop out since my claim and the themes didn't exactly mix (the only thing possible was a crack! pairing, and I'm not exactly shipping that one, only one half of it).

Another question: you okay with me copying your disclaimer? It's better than mine.

[red_satin_doll]

Thank you so much!

I haven't seen the mission impossible films 4 &5 (that was your claim, right?) but I almost dropped out after they announced the theme because I'm not much of a bangel shipper and bangel_4e totally KILLED it with her set. I'm just glad that I didn't totally embarrass myself!

you okay with me copying your disclaimer? It's better than mine.

As a matter of fact I adapted it from starry_night's disclaimer (with her permission) so by all means feel free to use it! It's a shame such things have become necessary but too many of my friends have had work stolen outright.

Cool icons I like 10 it's so pretty excellent work

Gracias! I was kind of pleased with #10 - the addition of the dove is a wee bit kitschy I know, but I love how the fire and light behind Buffy blended right into the silhouette of Angel. (I do have a version without the dove but it looks kind of empty and incomplete IMO.)
