10in30 Round 2: My Entries

[red_satin_doll]

The theme for Round 2 is "starcrossed lovers" ; I had snagged "Buffy" as my claim before the theme was announced so of course, my subject is Bangel. (Dedicated to bangel_4e, who has recently announced she is going on hiatus from art and LJ for a while due to wrist pain.  I am still moping about this.*)   Also I have been dreadfully sick this weekend, hence the last-minute-ness of this post.

1 -5 represent star-crossed lovers, 6- 10 represent separation and longing, and we were allowed to have just one character of the pairing in these. As Buffy was my claim it felt natural for these to be Buffy-centric:

Teasers:    

1 - 5

6 - 10

Alts:

11 - 15        

* bangel_4e's Buffy/Bangel set is much more gorgeous-er, of course, be sure to check it out. Especially since it's apparently her last (for a while.) But then again all the other sets submitted for Round 2 thus far are well-nigh awesome and deserve your attention.

Now I want you to make icons for all my IWRY fics! You really evoked the beauty and hopelessness of their relationship here!

WOW! What a compliment! You completely made my day!

(I don't know if I ever told you but snowpuppies SUPERB poster for "Blink or You'll Miss What you Never Saw" is one of the pieces that made me want to become a digital artist.)

Wow! That is so neat to know. It really is an amazing banner, isn't it? I miss Snowy. She was extraordinary to the nth power!

It's funny but just today - as I was emerging from the haze of whatever virus I picked up from my sweetie this weekend - I remembered how snowy mentioned she'd try to write a Buffy/Tara fic sometime and never got around to it. I know, like everything else she did it would have been AMAZING.

You know how there are some artists who gets tons of nominations and awards and you think "What the heck does everyone see in them?" Snowy was the absolute opposite - the artist for whom there were not enough superlatives in the thesaurus much less awards to hand out to her.

Which is to say that yes, I miss her presence too.

I feel the same about her stories. She inspired me to break out of my shell and tackle characters and pairings I'd never considered before. Wow.

Think we can coax her out of "retirement"?

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

I keep trying.
