Because this theme HAS NEVER BEEN DONE
I thought I'd try my hand at it with my second banner attempt. I'm pretty happy with it! I don't THINK I missed any stray clumps of hair or backgrounds (though it was a close thing, I couldn't figure out WHAT that was that was behind Spike's head...it's gone now, and I'm not going to tell you what it was, but it was frustrating for a few minutes!) and I think I managed to better match the coloring & contrast on Spike & Buffy. I may still try to make it brighter overall, I'm not entirely sold on the brightness level as it is.
One day I'll feel better about making banners without the safety of diaphanous textures, but that day is not today. hahaha
btw...that's sarcasm up there in the subject line, if you don't know me well enough to have known that right away. :D
Comments and suggestions are, as always, most welcome. Even if you want to tell me to uninstall Photoshop. That sounded passively needy, didn't it? STROKE MY FRAGILE EGO!! *ridiculous eyelash batting and lip biting* You know, it's only a matter of time before people start adding *wearing pigtails* to their pleas for stroking, I swear. Oh my GOD, this is not about my pet peeves. Sorry! Would you buy that ham makes me tangentially inclined? Yeah, me neither. :D

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend. :) Our mother sent us home with more eggs than I know what to do with. Tuna salad and deviled eggs spring to mind, but I'm not sure that'll polish them off, honestly. And I've eaten my once yearly serving of ham, so I'm glad that's out of the way. I just don't. do. ham. I can eat it, I'll just never pass the pork section in the butcher shop and look for a ham to take home for dinner. EVER. I've always had an innate aversion to pork. (Except for bacon. I realize that's nonsensical -- rather like this post at the moment.)
Haven't brought this up in a while, so thought I'd mention it. We're three weeks away from the big day. 13.1 miles. Oof. Mary (the sister who is walking with me) and I went out yesterday for a 10-mile walk, and did it in 1:30. (well, a bit shy of that, but close enough for training!) which means that we were doing a little better than 15-minute miles. WOO. Though my hips (and hers, from what she said) are really hurting. Each week, a new muscle group protests. haha Also, I've learned over the past few weeks that anything past 7 miles and my brain says, "Okay, that's been fun. Let's go home and read fan fiction!" Long distance-walking is not for me. But I DO love working hard and sweating like a pig for 2 - 3 miles. It'll be a relief when this marathon is done and I can go back to doing just that, with maybe an occasional 6 miles stint on Saturdays.

This came out great! Love the coloring and the images you choose.
I'm at a low point. My Muse has been unusually silent this past couple days. :-(

I love everything but Spike's forehead. Can you erase the image he's sitting on top of there a bit? That's TOTALLY the only thing I'd tell you to fix. Because it's awesome!
