My first-ever 20in20 entries for Round 1 of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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 tobangel_4e and spikesredqueen for their patient and tireless hand-holding.

Date: 2014-06-06 05:20 pm (UTC)Just one thing - I hit the post button too soon and had to edit the entire post, so you might want to glance at it again, I don't know if you saw the correct entries or not.

Date: 2014-06-06 08:50 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2014-06-06 09:10 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2014-06-07 04:16 am (UTC)and the fractures in the Comics and Blended ones.
Thank you! I made the blended one at almost the last minute and I was really nervous about that one, I worried it was too unsophisticated - I had a couple of other ones for the catagory, but that icon just popped when I put it in the template table.
And the effect in the comics icons is photo montage in ipiccy - the day I first did that I felt like someone had handed me the key to a door I'd never been able to open before. And it was exactly what I wanted to emphasize the fracturing of identity and personality. Fun.
How are things going with your Summer of Giles fic, isn't tomorrow the deadline? Have you submitted it?

Date: 2014-06-07 04:23 am (UTC)I think you'll like some of the extras; your favorites in the B/W catagory are my favorites too. I debated for the longest time about putting the Amends icon with the NA ones but it just came out so beautifully - her hair and skin are so luminous. The color versions are just as beautiful. (I did some more from Amends I'm eager to show off.)
I'm glad you like focused, I really worked a lot on that one and worried it was too grainy. But sarah has such a fascinating face to play with, like a lady in a 15th century italian portrait.

Date: 2014-06-07 12:07 pm (UTC)The Chain it's totally the best issue ever, I couldn't agree more. I don't read the comics anymore, I started season 8 and then get bored after "Retreat, Part II" but I'm so grateful I got to read The Chain, it just fixes everything about the Ats ep. "The Girl in Question". ^^
I totally agree. Best issue ever. I was so hopeful when I read it. It really seemed the anticipation of something incredibly good. And then they fucked up. Ugh.

When I asked for feedback I never imagined anything so wonderfully detailed as this THANK YOU so much sweetie! I have to go to work this weekend and don't have time to reply but I'm printing this out so I can read it during the day.
I love the comics one as well - so so much. Discovering the "photo collage" effect in ipiccy was like opening a door for me in terms of what I can do with icons.
I had to switch out AC1 and revised NS+Mono, I don't know if you've seen the new ones.
