Oooh... These are *super* nice. I think what I like best about both is the use of texturing and how you've worked that into the re/creations nicely.

I love the Buffy one especially, though. Her eyes, her hair, the color of her skin - SO gorgeous. The icons are shareable, yes?

(Feel free to post many more pretty images of Buffyness. I will not stop you... :D)

Thank you so much for sharing these, Kate! *hug*

[katekat]

Oh thank you lady! I was trying very hard to match texture to texture, and so it's lovely that it showed through.

And of course the icons are sharable! hee!

I will try to post more pretty images of Buffyness - i have more sword pics that i'm thinking of using, if i can get them to look correct (and not like i was using a dull scissor to do my manip.... which seems to be happening occasionally)

thank you for the feedback!love miss glim! it is monstrously appreciated!

These are beautiful, Kate! :D

[katekat]

Thank you miss Nemo! first time i've gotten manips to work in a while!

Oh my god, those are gorgeous. How do you keep getting better and better, when I think you have reached the absolute zenith of beautiful image production?!

I like the Buffy one MUCH better than the original, actually. But then I don't really like Kiera, she is weird and her face is slightly masculine looking, in my opinion. *shrugs* I like the Faith one too, it is droolworthy! So beautiful. You made the colours redder and more luxorious somehow and I don't think I'd be able to tell it was a manip. So pretty!

*bows down to the glory of Kate*!

Both are beautiful, but the the first is gorgeous, with the action and the choice of expression. Beautiful work,Kate.

[katekat]

Thanks so much lady! It was an instant match the moment I saw the picture - sometimes these things come together in ways I'm almost sure are more serendipity than talent, but the feedback is much appreciated nonetheless!

[twilightofmagic.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's talent. Your manips are consistently excellent ;-)

[katekat]

lol - well, it's because i don't post the really grotty ones. instead i make a metaphorial bonfire in my trash-bin and throw them away. But i'm glad to know I inspired mish love! Thank you so much for the fabulous feedback darling! *squishes you mightily*

*flail* those are hot! I can't pick a favourite between them!

Dammit, Buffy totally needs to become a pirate warrior. And then go sex up Captain Jack have piratey adventures. In space. With...space Krakens. Or...something.

Okay, just ignore me now. *flails more*

[katekat]

GAH! she does!!! although i would not mind slashy goodness with Captain Jack and any other btvs character either, come to think of it. Now i just wish i was a better fic writer... perhaps someone will take up the gauntlet? hmmm?

heeee. glad i could induce flailing. it is good.

Buffy. Sword. Unk.

[antennapedia.livejournal.com]

Yessssssssssssss! Lovely. Fierce. SMG looks better in that costume & pose than the original actress did, I have to say. Go Buffy!

Re: Buffy. Sword. Unk.

[katekat]

It really worked out didn't it!?! Thanks for the yummy feedback lady - more sword manips to come, hopefully, if i can get the pictures to work for me. But i was hoping you'd like this one!

[cordykitten]

Snagged the Buffy&sword. Very lovely :))

[katekat]

[murielle.livejournal.com]

They're goreous! I can't even pick a favourite they're both so beautiful. Each so deliciously dark. Lovely, absolutely lovely, not to mention sexy and mysterious and inspiring. Wonderful!

[katekat]

[goodbyebird]

Both of these look great btw. Excellent blending, and I love how ritch the colours are on #2.

[katekat]
