Congratulations to winners sweet_lyri, tempertemper, killing_kurare, teragramm, snogged and spikesredqueen! Check out their winning icons and awards banners in the thread here.

As with the banners I made for the last round of slayerstillness, the base image is a photograph I took of daylilies at a local bank while waiting in line at the drive-through. I originally was going to do a fancier image with light effects and literally "gild the lily", until I came to my senses and realized simple was best. I love the summertime feel of the image, and how the colors coordinate suprisingly well with so many of the icons.

It should be noted that I all but threw multiple alts of the Faith and Joyce icons in velvetwhip's lap and she, being the superb Muse that she is, singled out the versions I submitted. Take a look (NWS warning for one tiny icon of Darla's cleavage)

Teasers:  

I loved making the Faith and Dru icons this round - they were so much fun to make.  (Admitedly, I have a weird sense of "fun".)

Little Giles in the comics does look an awful lot like the love child of Harry Potter and William Pratt (pre-Spike) doesn't he? (You were right about the Giles - William resemblance - by both Levins and Isaacs - but I don't think it's intentional.)

Giles and the tea: OTP!

It's probably the only deeply satisfying and lasting relationship he's ever had, poor Giles. Tea is always there when you need it.

Yes XDDD I've always thought he was looking incredibly like human William, especially for the curls and the glasses! Maybe they were going for a Harry Potter vibe too because now he's apparently a skilled wizard.

"Yer a wizard, Rupert!" XD
