My entries for Round 1 of btvsats20in20, plus extras: (The not really-real) Buffy Summers

[red_satin_doll]

ETA: bangel_4e notified me that my original entries for NS+Mono and Artists Choice 1 were not qualified so I've switched them out. Let me know what you think.

My first-ever 20in20 entries for Round 1 of btvsats20in20 were inspired by the Jo Chen's Cover art for "The Chain"; so I decided to claim Buffy Summers as my subject (no surprise) but with a twist: the "not really-real" versions that populate the Buffyverse: impersonators, dopplegangers, alt universe versions; Buffy reimagined in her own and in other people's dreams.

All icons made by me in ipiccy and Photobucket. Many thanks to bangel_4e and spikesredqueen for their patient and tireless hand-holding.

I like the Earth Tones one and the fifth artist choice.

[spikesredqueen.livejournal.com]

These are excellent and great batch for your first entry at a 20in20!

My faves are ex close crop, strong, smile, focused, cat 1, 2, & 5, and ac 2, 3, and 5! Great work!!!!

Amazing is all I can say!

Strong is great - even though you can't see Buffy's face you can feel that stake going in.

Wow - what a brilliant concept for the NS/Monochrome ... I love it.

I don't think I have even seen that fractured effect that you used in Comics ... the image itself shows a "fractured" Buffy, so well worked. I love the contrasting pink colour of the lines.

That's a great font |(and use of it) in Earth Tones. I love the 50:50 crop as well.

The texture image - wow, that looks as if it took forever to make, yet is very effective.

I love the cut highlight on the B&W of extreme crop ... beautiful cropping ... such a sad image of our heroine, but beautifully tackled.

I love the soft colouring you have achieved in Focus ... again it has a lovely crop.

In the Cat's I love 1, 3, 5 ... such a great range of tonal feelings, but I love the image you chose for #2


Wow, great AC's ... I really love 3, 4 & 5 ... the colouring is stupendous!! AC4 is an amazing image, that I keep going back to look at. AC5 has just an amazing quality to it - both in the choice of image and then the colouring ... such a soft overall glow to it.

They are great - I am so pleased you did them ... and think I might as well withdraw mine from voting!!

Well done.

Oh, wow, the comics one is so awesome (and the variants too)! ;)

You should totally read The Chain. It's the best issue ever.

This time I think that the white and black icons are the best. Especially Cat 1, 2 and 5. Also focused is very very pretty, I love the profile, and AC2 is maybe my favorite.

I can't wait to see the extras.

Wow! These turned out really cool!!

[punch-kicker15.livejournal.com]

These are gorgeous! I particularly like the coloring in the Artist's Choice ones, and the fractures in the Comics and Blended ones.

Very nice set. You did an especially good job on the b/w category.

[comlodge.livejournal.com]

As always your cap choices and cuts thereof are way cool! Love Favourite moment - pulled me straight to it.AC2, the coloring of her face, blur into sharper., Earth tones is so very earthy and love the words. The lighting in AC5 is just lovely. Strong, NS, Cat 2... stopping now. Great bunch of icons. Well done.
