I really, really, *really* like that Buffy manip. There's something incredibly haunting about it.

thank you so much lady! she was surprisingly easy to do (which usually means that it's a good fit for picture to base).

I really like the second one! It works very well, I think.

Incidentally, is it easier to photomanip stuff when the original is flipped the other way around? I've noticed it in a few of your manips, but both these do it... so I thought I'd ask!

[katekat]

thank you darling!

and actually, i tend to reverse the base pic to match the lighting/shadows on the actor/actress face. It's much easier to do that than to flip the face of the actor/actress to match the base since that tends to make the viewer feel as if the picture is off somehow (which it would be). Great question though!!!!

That first one is lovely. So moody :)

[katekat]

thank you lady!!!!

Of course you know that Faith wins at life, so I adore the second manip. You also know that I'm not a huge fan of Buffy, but I really like the first one, darling. It evokes her sense of isolation and loneliness so beautifully.

Excellent job! You continue kicking all kinds of ass!

*can't talk more. feeling something*

Thank you darling! I adore the Faith one, and I agree with you about the Buffy one - it's one of those pics that is just melancholy (which sadly i associate with buffy season5-7)

and LOL!

The Faith one is perfect. I love the dreamy feel of it. Well done.

[katekat]

AWWW! Thank you so much lady!

Oh, wow! I really adore the Buffy manip! Her expression is perfect and the pictures is just lovely! I like the Faith one, too! And the original pic is in your header! That's so awesome! *G*

[katekat]

LOL you recognized!! I had to make the faith one - it was just too perfect for her not to use it (well, perfect and a little different, since i'm not sure our faith would really be into the clothing... except if she was role playing or something)

thanks lady love!!

[lostgirlslair.livejournal.com]

It is different for her, but I think it works because of her expression and the rest of her surroundings, you know? It's lovely, sweetie!

Good God you're so talented!! Again, Bravo, these are amazing!! I adore the Faith one .

*applauds*

[katekat]

aw! thank you so much! I totally adore how these two came out and I'm so glad you like them!

Excellent manips. Buffy looks so forlorn. Faith looks sexy and comfortable in her skin.

[katekat]

thank you! And as much as I love happy Buffy, I thought the quiet sadness of the picture really worked with her. :D

Ooh, these are soo pretty! You've captured the emotions of both women so well. Great job!

[katekat]

Thank you!! I love these girls so much, and they were just too perfect for the sources
