Banners Anyone? (request post closed)

[katekat]

Hey guys, I'm feeling a little graph-y at the moment - anybody need/want story/fic banners? 

Number of requests:  5 banners (received)

Estimated time of completion:  3 days

Samples:  My banner archive is here.  My icons/wallpaper archive is here.

Wills & Won'ts:  I work mostly in the Buffy-verse, so if you're looking for something outside of that, I'll need high quality pics from you. I have trouble doing major focus on Connor shipped with anyone. Everything else is totally open (many of the kinky things you can imagine, I probably have source pics for, too!)

Other info: If you don't specify a size, I'll probably do something around 800x400. If you have any specific ideas, let me know - including specific pics, favorite colors, mood, favorite types of text (I may not be able to match perfectly, but I'll try), if you like "busy" or "collage" or "simple", if you'd like nudity or partial nudity, inks to other people's art you've really liked, etc. OR no specs at all! Either way. I tend to use promo pictures, but mix in screencaps too. I will always create at least 1 lj-sized icon for the work - but if you want smaller versions for any reason, ask and I can provide!  I may end up giving you alternates (sometimes different color, etc) because I generally do different versions and then can't decide which I like.

OMG, really truly? I madly love your graphics work, and I would be incredibly thrilled with artwork for After 8:30 (http://malnpudl.livejournal.com/13752.html), if that would interest you.

Feel like doing one for "Blackmail"?

Nudity's fine (it's erotica after all!), but a worksafe variation would be cool if that's where the muse takes you. Simple rather than busy, muted (or b&w) rather than saturated... but if you get an idea that takes you somewhere cool that's not those things, ride that idea!

And you have given me my fannish squee for the day! EEEE!

[that_mireille]

Do you think you could do one for "Conspiracy Theory"? (Sofy doesn't mind.)

Anywhere the mood takes you would be fine by us. :D

[katekat]

of course darling!! did you have anything particular in mind? sizes? styles?

[soft-princess.livejournal.com]

What Happens In Vegas... (http://soft-princess.livejournal.com/383210.html) is *begging* for a banner. :D

Wherever it takes you, darling. :D

[katekat]

*grin* I would LOVE to lady! do you have an idea for sizes? would it be ok if i did a larger one for your website but a smaller version for when you're updating/posting fic in the verse to your lj?

[elizabuffy.livejournal.com]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I would really love something tru/faith-y if at all possible. you know what i like. however, i'll likely not post before everyone else does, lol.

<3

~e!

[katekat]

OMG *BOUNCES* HELL YEAH.

:D

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... it takes place in Giles's apartment, so I suppose that color scheme would make sense. And perhaps there might be a fountain pen in it somewhere? Other than that, I have nothing in particular in mind.

*GLEE*

[that_mireille]

OH, THANK YOU! :D :D :D

[elizabuffy.livejournal.com]

shit. i was so busy w/ "kate!banner," and trying to jump before all slots were taken, i didn't read the "fine print." *blush*

Anyway, i'll rescind my non-story banner request thing. :">

~e!

[katekat]

um YEAH I CAN! heeee. VEGAS!

(ps - did you get my email about your fic comm banner?)

[katekat]

darling, you KNOW for you I'll make an exception. I'm totally on it. Do you want the same size we usually do?

[antennapedia.livejournal.com]

That sounds perfect!

[soft-princess.livejournal.com]

Hee! We got the email! We even talked about it and decided what to answer you, and then we BOTH THOUGHT THE OTHER HAD EMAILED YOU BACK. And now we're facepalming a lot. Hehe.

*squishes you*

[denny-dc.livejournal.com]

hey, I know I'm most likely too late, but I'd love to have you consider a story I'm posting now called "throwing stones at the moon". it's spike/dawn/xander (I know, what?) with some angel/spike and buffy/spike in the mix. It s a futuristic story, and if it crosses your mind to do it, or take a look at the story you can find it by going to my lj...if it doesn't fit the top five, than i'd love to use one of your other banners for my lj...just let me know.

(Your work is fabulous).

[elizabuffy.livejournal.com]

yup! That size is perfect for me! again, I totally love it when you surprise me. :) I <3 my kateness.

you have my p-word, too, right?

~e!

[aesiron.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. Clicking through that and seeing all the revisions I had you make for my current banner made me cringe. Thank you so much for being so patient with me. I absolutely adore my banner and, I swear to you, was just looking at it earlier today and thinking about how pretty it is.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Oh, what a cool thing -- anyone who gets a banner from you is extremely lucky!

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

I'm not in the market for a new banner, but I just wanted to say how much I love your work. I have it all collected in a file to look at and enjoy from time to time.

Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. :-)

Me too

I know I'm late but I just have to ask. I am writing this story Compatible (Xangel) and was wishing (on my knees) that you could a header for it. I'm not too much for the nudity, So if you have time for me take a look at my icons I think they rep me well.

Thanks and if you have too many on you plate keep me in mind for next time.

[katekat]

ok darling, i've got two choices for you:

version 1

version 2

let me know if you want an icon for it!

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! They're stunning!

I had the hardest time choosing between them! I kept clicking back and forth, back and forth, probably three dozen times. I love them both. I finally decided that I'd like to use the second one, because I like the sort of antiqued feel, and also because it seems to more effectively put Wes and Buffy into the background, looking at Giles in the foreground.

I am THRILLED, and can't thank you enough! *happydances*

Oh, and I don't feel a need for icons, but thank you very much for offering. *smooch*

[katekat]

ok lady, i went a little overboard with the variations... but let me know which one you like and i'll make you the smaller version (and an icon if you'd like)

Wow. Just wow. Zowie! I think I like this one (http://pics.livejournal.com/katekat1010/pic/006ezz6y) best, though #1 tempted me greatly.

Eeeeeeee! *spins you around*
