Working my way on through... this one's for fatorangekat's wonderful No Promises fic. It came out somewhat... dark and serious, but then it's a somewhat dark and angsty fic...

OMG, This was very unexpected because I thought I was too far down the list! It's awesome and it's perfect and it's beautiful and I love it! Thank you sooooo much! It goes perfect with the next one to follow- called No Consequences.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Glad you like it, hon - I'm never quite sure where these things are going to end up when I start out!

[fatorangekat.livejournal.com]

Personally, I think you hit it out of the ballpark. I think it's perfect! Thank you so much!

And now that you have a nice shiny new banner for it, you have to get it out there....like soon. (or something)

=D

I'm starting a blog tour for VN2 and right now that's sucking all my time up. :( But I'm hoping to have most of those done before I go to Darcy's so that I can work on sequel to No Promises and the vid I haven't had time to touch.

I have fun playing with backgrounds, textures etc. I'm never sure what I'm going to come up with until I've experimented a bit (or a lot!) - it's part of the pleasure of the process :)

Ohhhhhh I like! It's perfect for DC's fic!

[azziria.livejournal.com]

I'm even more glad that *she* likes it! It came out quite dark and angsty, but I'm pleased with it :)

I love the way the lighting shifts. Very nice.

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The lighting was dictated to a large extent by the two source photos, but I think it worked out well.

Whoo! You're on fire! I really love what you're doing with these.

I'm having fun - I'd forgotten how much I love playing with Photoshop :)

I really like the way you do these story banners. They're seamless and flow perfectly, which I know aren't good art terms, but that's rally all I have, haha.

[azziria.livejournal.com]

They're very satisfying to do - it's good to be creative but not to worry about things as much as with writing fic :)

[portraitofafool.livejournal.com]

Nice colors and the expressions on their faces are well-suited to dark and angsty. I like how subtle the textures are in this, understated, but still there. It gives the banner a little extra depth, I think and the lighting is also nice--again, subtle, but there.

And another question: Would you be okay sharing that cap/pic of Danny? That's about what I've been looking for icon-making-wise because I need a Danny icon... like yesterday. His expression is perfectly suited to what I want... I'd willingly take Alex, too, because pretty... *drools*

[azziria.livejournal.com]

No problem, happy to share. The original of the Danny pic is a not-brilliant screen cap, no good for anything much bigger than this banner but fine for an icon.

Textures are down to my invert and overlay thing again - brown paper and the back of a floor tile this time :)

[jendeana.livejournal.com]

That may be my favorite so far!

Glad you like it - I'm never sure how these things are going to end up when I start out, they sort of evolve as I go along :)

[fabulousweapon.livejournal.com]

Wow! I love this. Wish I could convince you to do some for me. LOL

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Go on, nominate a fic if you want, and I'll add you to the list. I'm having fun with these :)

[fabulousweapon.livejournal.com]

Yay hooray. Is there a special place to do that, or just comment here?

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Just drop a comment here :)

[fabulousweapon.livejournal.com]
