Artist: red_satin_doll

Characters: Buffy Summers

Size: 507square

This is one of my favorite banners that I've made, and I have no idea why I've kept it hidden away for so long. As anyone whose known me for five minutes knows, "the Buffyverse across the seasons" and one Buffy Anne Summers in particular are two of my favorite subjects to play with in fanart.

The bokeh effect is from ipiccy ; the cloudscapes are views of a brilliant New England sunset my sweetheart took a couple of years ago. I layered the same shot twice at slightly different angles to one another to fill the space.

Icon versions:

You may recognize 4 - 7 from such televison show icontests comms as slayerstillness Challenge 37 and btvsats20in20 Round 5.

(No, I have no idea why I submitted #4 to SS when it's softer and blurrier than 1 - 3, either.)

1 - 5
