I really like the last one and kinda like the first.

And Giles is sex. I just finished up S4 earlier today and saw the episodes he sang in for the first time. I had to watch him sing "Behind Blue Eyes" like three or four times and I was as googoo as Willow.

hehehe, now you understand our giles!love! and thanks for the feedback sweetest. I'll be making more non-texty ones in the future, and hopefully with other characters, with you in mind.

Aww. :)

[elizabuffy.livejournal.com]

dammit! i had this whole, long thing, but it's gone *pout* anywho...

I so love the grey background in the giles and b/g wqllpapers: it's very soft, not distracting, yet goes well.

I do love the odd angles used in the wallpoapers. I adore upside-down text and pics...I love how you used the space...especially in the g/wes wallpaper. there's a wonderful ratio of blank-space, graphic, text, and brushwork. I also think the text totally sums up those two :)

Another thing: i love how you can make me adore colours i don't usually lean toward. Brown is one of them. i would NEVER choose brown, but it works here and is gorgeous!

*more hugs*

~e!

ok, first off, i love that your second reply is so detailed!!!! i'm sorry lj ate your first, and i can't imagine how much it rocked considering this one rocks so much.

in other words: I heart EB!! (except i don't know how to make the heart, so you'll have to take it in text)

Oh, and I gotta say, I don't know *why* i'm using all these really bizzare browns and stuff, because that's really not me either, and yet... they work. So I'm really glad you're liking them too!! Yay!

And yay! the Giles/Wes one was actually done super quickly (which in my book means it was totally *right* from the outset, you know). So ooooooo glad you like it! :D

*uber!hugs*

woah .... I'm impressed ... I really like them, I like the style of the wps and the icons. ... fanstastic work :)

[katekat]

thank you very much sweetie!! heee, you're paying me a seriously high compliment by responding with the wes icon (i was totally tickled to see it on the message). Enjoy!

[anja25ive.livejournal.com]

yeah .. I have to confess, I fall in love with the icon :)

[britwatcher.livejournal.com]

I think you did a wonder job!

Aww, thank you! It's easy when we've got such pretty subjects to work with!

[deviantfantasy.livejournal.com]

The Giles/Wesley wallpaper is just... gah! I snagged it and now my desktop is very pretty :D Also snagged the matching icon and I'll credit when I use. Nice work :)

Itsonmydesktoptoonow! Weeeh!

::Drools over keyboard::

[katekat]

hehehehehe - my secret plan is to make keyboards all over the world short out from the drooling. But how can we resist the preetty boys?

*hugs*

[katekat]

heehee! So glad you like it! Thank you!

You, my dear, are SO dang good. Such a pleasing style, with the generous open space. And the colors you choose are so complimentary. I love the understated, earthy tones. You're choices in fonts and how you present them is well considered, being sure to add to the graphic and not intrude on the overall feel of the piece. Your use of texture is so perfect it makes me green with envy. The way you merge them in to add a border transition between photo and flat color. Excellent. Lastly, you selected shots that work together, making a believable and entertaining scene. Every single one is eye catching and extremely usable.

Incredibly well done.
Thanks for sharing.

[katekat]

OK, once again, you've STAGGERED me with the feedback. Thank you so much for such thoughtful comments.

It's so funny, because normally I'm not an earthy tone person, but somehow Buffy pics (well, the screencaps I've got) just end up driving me towards those colors. It's definitely been an experience doing these wallpapers, and now that I have more info on what people tend to like on their omputers, i can keep that in mind.

eeek - i really want to respond to all of your comments, but packing calls. Suffice it to say I'm incredibly thankful for the feedback.

*hugs*

These are all lovely. I might use some of them.

[katekat]

thank you for the feedback lady!

[psychoadept.livejournal.com]

I keep trying to leave you a comment, and things keep interfering, and so the comment keeps getting shorter. But I love them and I snagged the Giles/Wes one. It even fits my monitor!

[katekat]

heehehe. I'm good with the fitting! (Although the other 1280x1024 ones will fit in the sense that none of the principle graphics will get cut off - i know cuz that's what i've got too)

thanks for the feedback though, dear one! I do appreciate it, lots.

ps. I am working on the beta, btw, and haven't forgotten you

[psychoadept.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't think you'd forgotten me. *hugs* Can't wait to see it. Are you done for the semester yet?

[katekat]

one more paper left that's due on monday (so of course, i'm procrastinating by packing things to move ... ) and then i'll be done!

[psychoadept.livejournal.com]

Yay for doneness!

[literati.livejournal.com]

I honestly cannot pick a favourite! I love each and everyone. Stunning work, sweets!

[katekat]

awww! thanks lady! so glad you like 'em!

[bethynyc.livejournal.com]

Wow. just gorgeous. I snagged the Giles/Wesley wallpaper. You are amazing!

[katekat]

AWW! Thanks lady! I'm so glad you liked the boys together! And thanks so much for the marvelous feedback.

*hugs*
