[livejournal.com profile] kikimay and [livejournal.com profile] snogged both celebrated birthdays recently, as have [livejournal.com profile] angearia, [livejournal.com profile] teragramm, [livejournal.com profile] leni_ba (far and away my favorite Bangel(us) author), [livejournal.com profile] pocochina, [livejournal.com profile] frelling_tralk, [livejournal.com profile] comlodge, [livejournal.com profile] chic_c, [livejournal.com profile] boot_the_grime and [livejournal.com profile] quinara and what have I done for any of these wonderful folks? Nothing, nada. I suck as a friend (but if only people would stop being born, please, it's so overwhelming.  ;-P)

This really doesn't make up for any of it, but [livejournal.com profile] kikimay has been requesting that I post the remainder of my Buffyverse in Wonderland artwork, and since she's been having fabulous adventures lately and deserves celebrating, here it be. If I don't post it all at once I never will:

If #2 looks familiar it should - it's the banner version of my Mod's Choice winner at [livejournal.com profile] slayerstillness Challenge 38. (Click #4 below to enlarge [livejournal.com profile] tempertemper's fabulous banner.) Tip o'the nip to my beta-Muse [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip for her inspiration; I was working on the icons for that round and came across the texture in #1 that is a "handwritten" fragment of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Gabrielle mentioned an interest in AiW, and away my brain went hippity-hopping from there.

Prophecy Girl Down the Rabbit Hole Banners 8-10; icons 11 - 15:

Once I started toying with the idea of Wonderland, the notion of Buffy literally going "down the rabbit hole" to meet the Master seemed a natural fit.
Indecisive as always, I suspect #8 is the best version; I thought I would like #9 more than I do. I found the triangle texture on forwallpaper.com but like almost everything on the internet I suspect it originates elsewhere.

S5 Buffy and the Jabberwocky Banners 16 -17; icons 18 -20.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? / Come to my arms, my beamish boy!"

The "Slayer" in Carroll's poem is male but thanks to the long hair and slight figure, as well as my fascination with the Buffyverse, I can't help but see one of Buffy's predecessors in Tenniel's illustration. [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip noted that the original versions of 17 didn't quite work but it took me a while to understand why : it was too pale and lacked contrast (see #18 below).

red_satin_doll: (Wiffy Hug - Primeval)
Firstly: A joyous Easter to all my friends who celebrate the holiday!

As I don't have any easter rabbits lying about, here's a decidedly different sort of bunny. My Mono+Text icon for Round 8 of btvsats20in20 started as a banner when I had intended to go with an overall "Buffyverse in Wonderland" theme for my Wiffy set. Several variations, actually, but this one is my favorite, dedicated to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip, [livejournal.com profile] kikimay, [livejournal.com profile] snogged, and to all the Alice in Wonderland and/or Wiffy fans in the house:

Please don't forget to cast your votes in Round 8 of [livejournal.com profile] btvsats20in20 for Themes, Category Sets and Artist's Choice Sets, then sign up to join the fun in Round 9.  And for heaven's sake if you haven't visited the artists' individual journals to check out the sets in their original context and give feedback, please do so. Awards are great but feedback is coin of the realm; and the icons often look very different in their original sets than when they're sitting cheek to jowl with the work of other artists (and vice-versa).

If you have done any or all of the above, thank you!
