bookish dreamer

* toes the sand in front of her * ok, so I used to do graphics right? you remember that right? I remember that! These are from a variety of requests that I received last year ... movie posters for kradam/AI verse, and some other bannery-type-things.

( look, pretty things, that aren't photographs )

I thought I'd do a bit of a different year in review. This is modified from the fanfict writing meme (specifically stolen from savoytruffle's posting of it).

This year I posted:

   
35 Tara icons

   
40 of my favorite btvs images

   
torchwood wallpapers

( and the list goes on, and on, and on )

So this other day there was a photo editorial with a bunch of models in cravats and long-waisted suits.  So what do I do?  Turn them into the Btvs boys, of course!

teasers:
 

( “In his company, I am grieved to the soul by a thousand tender recollections.” )

here's a Cordelia as Snow White, Tara as Little Red Riding Hood, Anya as the Princess (and the pea), and others.  6 manips of the Btvs women in entirely different worlds.

teasers:     

( Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.  )

Also, a HUGE congratulations goes out to the wonderful authors and artists who were recognized today at the indigo_crypt awards! Particularly mary5958 for best lj layout & best general fan art, and sueworld2003  for best general fan art! 

( I'm delighted to have been recognized myself for a couple of things )

So, I've joined this lovely graphics comm called whedon_art ... and the second challenge was titled "fire".  And I'm a dork.   So I have here for you a wall in two variations.  It actually comes from a picture of a fire dancer (you  know, those magnificent souls who play with burning flame on a rope?  and then stand so someone can take etherial and beautiful pictures of them?)

And you get... ( burn, baby, burn )

And for those of you who like voting, they're actually voting on Challenge 1 (Things that Go Bump In The Night) - open to all.  There are some fairly fantastic and scary (in the best of ways) pieces there... by the ever talented khaoschilde and mary5958 among others!

No previews this time, but if you like Giles at all, please check out the Giles manip.... it makes me very very happy for some *strange* reason.  The Buffy is a manip created for prompt 049 at still_grrr .  And I just have to say... painted manips are HARD! 

oh, i'm also reposting the Buffy and Giles thingy I put up yesterday so I can link to this post from graphics comms

( I'm doing homework...every once in a while )

For the holidays I put together some graphics for some truly wonderful people.  Many of these are actually fic graphics, and so I don't feel too guilty reposting them here - especially if you all haven't taken a look at the fic they were created for!  So this is, in a way, a recs post with some sparklies attached.  And my way of saying thank you to some of my favorite people (well, thank you and happy holidays). It was also much faster than baking cookies for them all. :D

( Some of you may have seen some of these, but I know you haven't seen all of these, so check 'em out! )

and if you've been wondering when the heck i'm going to actually do a *real* graphics post with sharable art, it's forthcoming!  soon!

I was in a mood... a maniping mood.  So, here's what you get...

3 samples:
. .  

2x Buffy
1x Giles
1x Cordelia
1x Tara/Spike

( here )

Under the cuts you'll find 8 banners - Dawn, Illyria & Wes from my postings for the first two rounds at the_jossverse), and a Xander/Angel banner (and matching icons for 'em all).  Don't know why I've been into banners lately, but I have.  If anyone wants them customized, I'm happy to add text to any and all!

Behind the second cut you'll find two Buffy manipulations I did the other night.  They're not worksafe, but they were a mighty fun set of pictures to put together.

teasers: .

( banners, icons oh my )

sometimes, model and actress just come together, you know?

( two NOT SAFE FOR WORK buffy manips - yes, nudity )

Well, in a frenzy of manipping pleasure I have attempted to once again create more graphics from the responses I got on my "tell me what to create meme"... I give you some non worksafe pictures of Buffy with swords (and one that's Buffy, bound).

teasers: /

( the lady and the sword )
