Awsome work on NFA i love the various ways you've portrayed it, and you can never have a perfect way to portray them.
I really love the first NFA piece - I think the composition on that one works alot better than the other one, but they are both really good, it's just the first one seems to gel better. :D I like the use/placement of text on the first one more as well. :)
The 'Destiny' banner is quirky too! :D Keep 'em coming!

That's really great, I really like it! I loved the pictures you've used too!
I adore the AH one too, the colours are lovely and subtle, giving it a washed out look in the background, & then your attention is drawn to the sepia toned images in the middle! A BIG :thumbsup: for both of them!
ps: Please don't shoot me, you may have already noticed, I know I do it sometimes myself, but you spelt 'rogue' wrong : erm :

I like them both but i love the first one i dunno the coloring on it is just really good :D

i actually perferr the colouring on the second one. i like how each section is a different colour. very nice work.

Those are gorgeous!! I love the Bangel ones best but that's because I'm a bangel :) But all your work is really well put together, you pick the best pics to go into your work!
I love, love , love the Bangel piece! So beautifully simple & stunning! :D
I really like what you did for Primal Slayer as well, I've seen other people use that kind of effect but it hasn't looked as good as that! I'm torn between the subtle colours on the first, and the 'mood' colours on the second - I really can't decide, I love them both equally, plus I don't think you could of picked better scenes to have chosen either!
Truly fab job! :D

Made a spuffy sig by request of spuffy ;) Not sure if I'm going to use it or not, think I like it, I love Rest in Peace.
Also worked out how to do the curvey edges, so that's a new addiction. :p
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/kangarulz/spuffy.gif
Nice! :D I'm a big fan of rounded corners too 'lol'
Edit:
kanga agrees: I'm not sure I'm doing them how you're suppost to, I made my own way :p
Well, I use Photoshop CS & I use the rounded rectangle tool, with a radius of 36, no style, then I Layer >>> Rasterize >>> Shape. Then Select >> Load Selection>>Inverted. Delete that layer and click on the layer I want to have rounded corners, and then Edit >>> Cut
I used to do it another way, but find that one so much quicker 'lol'
alexa
03-16-2007, 05:51 AM
Oh thanks so much, I'll try that next time! I have been putting the shape on top of my work then using the lasso tool to delete the sharp edges, then I bring it into Illustrator and put the outline over the top of it incase it looks messy.

That's really good! You did a fantastic job on the background too!:D I really love the curved cutout enhancing the images, really I think it's my favourite out of everything you've posted so far! :D
You should really consider a website to share all this talent you know, if you haven't already got one, and I am sure that other artists would make use of your backgrounds if you make more of them as well! :D

I can't make up my mind with the banners...I like the simplicity of the S8 one, but I also love the colours on the Chosen one as well.
The Willow piece is very dark, and menacing...... makes me want to shine some light on her to see what's really in the dark there with her 'lol'

Wow sweetie! I love the "Play well with others" piece. Very nice. I like the effects you chose and the gradient. The texture I agree is an awesome one, very pretty- I too aquired that one from our wonderful edb. I also like your Cordelia and Wesley one. I like how you placed Wesley only halfway into the piece, as if he was being shoved out. I like the fact that it's off-centered, and the texture is nice. Stellar newbies hun, more please!

Cool stuff, keep it up Kanga!
Oo.....new pieces I haven't seen! :D
I really like them both, the colours on the Buffy piece are very beautiful, I really love the text & compostition and how you picked out her eyes ......and yay 'lol' it's so nice to know people find my textures useful! :D

It's escapefromdarkness.com or uh Escape From Darkness - Powered by vBulletin (http://64.202.107.24/~efdcom/index.php) for some reason the worded address doesn't always work yet.

I was able to access it but amazingly.... Some people might have problems due to BB technically advertisement of another buffy related forum on the site is not allowed and the links are usually removed from all places but your profile.... because it creates conflict for this forum because they could loose members to yours..... definatly want to be careful with advertising forums... websites are cool but other message boards related to the same stuff this one really agianst the rules trust me i've had a few polite run ins with miss summers when i advertised mine in my sig for a while....
But on the note of the artwork its great :) as always

Really nice. I like the diagonal type and the blocked out, uneven dark blue outlining behind the "Celebrate World Youth Day '08". And you always use abstact little repeating patterns really well—those bubbly circle things in the back. Nice color scheme.

Love that "Choice" background! It's a style that you don't see a lot of here, and I like how everything is centric of one episode (makes for a very well-rounded piece, more often than not I find :) ). You've got almost a dreamy effect going on for the upper line of photos, and having the lower ones that crystal clear (and, what seems to be my signature comment these days-- SO well blended :D) really makes the title stand out that much more. And the background graphics/spash effect is very, VERY cool!
So really well done, love your other posts too, you definitely have a knack! Hope to see more from you soon! :thumbs:

Have to admit, I love ALL of these :D
The idea of putting textures/patterns with a pic is really cool, and you do a really good job of matching them up!
There's a really edgy feel to your work... don't really know how to describe it! But I definitely, DEFINITELY love! Tres bon! :thumbs:
As promised, here's me, stopping by. :D
I love all the new pieces, from the snazzy poster to the Fredless piece. I always love that although your pieces are very different there is that element of 'you' in them too - like you can identify a piece of your work because it has a unique style that's all your own!
FAB work on all of them hon, and glad to see your muse has returned....mine also disappeared for a while too, so I know how that goes. ;)

I was going through some of your earlier work, on post No: 21 from 02-16-2007 there is three pics of Buffy at Hemery high, when she was called, that was when Angel (rat boy) was watching.
If the whole picture was wider and the two pics on the right could be of Faith in the same pose, as two pics of Buffy on the left. I reckon it would look quite good, plus it'd make people think about when Faith was called.
The image of Cordelia in the woods is reminiscent of the early Hammer films.
I really like the new Cordelia piece hon! :thumbsup: And I think it does have the feel you were after to it. ;)

Something I made for a stages of grief challenge, it occurred to me that this was Willow's bargaining stage. Plus the ep has so many good caps to do stuff with.
Oo...I LOVE that! You always have such great ideas for episodic/themed walls - can I be jealous now? 'lol' I really love the images you've chosen and I think the pic of Willow is perfect for the piece I like how you used the thin thread lines as well to represent the thread she is hanging on by!

You should be able to upload 1024x768max in photobucket - where it says max image size on the upload bit, just click the (options) and change it to 1024x768 & save. :)

I have their free account & 1024x768 is the max size I'm able to upload. :)
You know if ever you want to set up a website to display your art I'd be happy to host you for free - you could upload any size image then.;)
Alternatively, I'd be happy to give you just some space for free so you can upload your larger image files - without a website.
Anyway, the offer is there if ever you want to take me up on it. ;)

I'm no expert with websites either - thank heavens for Dreamweaver I say. :D I hadn't got a clue when I started making sites, so I just taught myself, and read loads of online tutorials, I know enough to get by most of the time, and if I don't know, then it's off to read another tutorial 'lol'. :)

I love that! You really captured that 'pissed off' look. The compostition is really excellent too - I always love that about your pieces, they are very original and I haven't really seen anything else like them - I've probably already said that before but it's true 'lol' Plus, you always work with such different colours but they work really well, I know I wouldn't brave to use some of the colours I've seen you use, but you churn out these amazing pieces and make them look fantastic - you always seem to pick colours that are just so right for the piece!
