how rosy and flawless Buffy looks in the Pink+White one.

I love that one too - I probably love some of it's alts even more. I have no idea how I got her to look that good, honestly.

but also because I really love how you interpreted the theme -- obscured by smoke! -

Pink+white was going to be obscured (then Willow with her hat, then any number of Buffy, Dru or Willow images) and then I saw that cap of Uncle Enyos and that was that. I knew I wanted an Uncle Enyos icon because I'm sure I've never seen one before either

I had intended to include Jenny but that didn't happen obviously.
