She's Come Undone (pt2) and I'm not feeling too good myself

[red_satin_doll]

Voting is up NOW for otherworldlyric challenge 173. 10 fabulous entries and at least one or two Willow/Angel shippy icons. Nifty.

Entries for round 1 of btvsats20in20 are due June 4 but there are some fantastic entries in the meantime to enjoy. I am nearly done with my entries (and a little nervous about the quality because DAMN, there are some fantastic entries in this thing.)

I just have to chose favorite moment. And master the icon table template. And maybe redo another blending icon. Or settle for one of the ones I made today. How hard can that be, right?

And I am FREAKING OUT just a little.

I am also going blind.

Not literally but the moment when I stopped being able to see the little pixels on the screen clearly and my eyes are blurring from sitting here too long? I passed that exit 10 miles back, with no turnaround.

I thought I was going to have a hard time coming up with ideas for this. My problem is coming up with too damn many. Oy vey. I'm lovin' it btw but - break time, way past.

So while I step away - I asked kikimay the other day about posting some other variations of my Buffy/Come Undone artwork and she said she would be interested. I'm trying to convince myself that it's ok to show this stuff off and I won't get any better as an artist hiding my stuff in a dresser drawer, so to speak.  (But why do I still feel weird about it? Aside from the needing food and all that jazz...)

You should stay less at the computer!

I know, Mama, you're right. I just can't seem to help myself! *lol*

It feels like an old photograph and very Red_satin_doll-esque

That is huge compliment, thank you! That was very much my "style" when I did moulin rouge icons ten years ago but it's taking time for me to find my footing with buffyverse imagery. moulin rouge was very visual, very stylized, so that gave me a head start; btvs is more realistic, flatter, dimmer, etc.

the one with primary colours, has blurred lines between the colours. I love that particular.

So do I. I wanted to be able to merge images with no visible line. I haven't figured out how to do it yet, so with primary colors I figured out a way to just cheat and cover it up with color and text. I don't think I could do it with this image, it's too delicate.

Eventually I'll figure out blending.

the more I'm able to do the more I want to be able to do!

I also use the laptop too much so I understand. Lately I'm stuck with translations, I'm kinda loving it. Also I really like your works and like when you post them so I hope you don't stop really. I'm selfish! XD

Keep feeding me with hugs and strokes like this, and I'll never stop. I'm incorrigible!
