Banners for [livejournal.com profile] seasonal_spuffy

I was short the number of banners I had wanted to post, due to my hard drive tanking. (Side note: It's officially dead, Jim. No system will even recognize it exists to try and pull data from. *sad face*)

Apologies to those of you watching [livejournal.com profile] seasonal_spuffy for what is essentially a double post.

All of these are available for use. Sadly I can't remove text that's already there, but if you would like anything personalized, or icons made of any of them, that I can do. I'm happy to, actually, you only have to ask. :) Please comment if you like, are taking, have a problem, or would like to provide constructive criticism. If you use any, please credit me. Thanks! Now...

Eight banners

1.

2.
[livejournal.com profile] abelina has asked to use #2 as a banner for a story she's working on, so I'm afraid it's off the personalization market.

3.

4.
ETA: Oops. It was brought to my attention that #4 bears a striking similarity to a banner previously made by [info]dawnofme (and likely lots of other people). All similarities are unintentional, and I apologize.

5.

6.

7.

8.


Thanks for looking! :)

Oh I am MADLY in love with number 2! It might even fit a story I'm working on that I don't have a title for and have no idea if/when I'm going to post... but I love it. It's seriously speaking to me.

ETA: Number 8 is fabulous. They all are, actually.

Oh wow! YAY! That's about the best compliment I think anyone could ask for when they make a graphic. :)

It's yours, if you want it, and when the title comes to you just let me know, and I'll make it all official like.

Thanks, Abby! :)

[identity profile] abelina.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yay! I'd love it, seriously! I have to come up with a title soon, anyway, if I want to use it for the challenge I'm writing it for, but yes, if it's still available, I'd love it! Thank you so much!

I'll stick a "Sold" sign on it. :) Or, y'know, the LJ equivalent, whatever that may be! lol

[identity profile] abelina.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You're awesome, lady, you know that?

Aww, man. *blush* Well, thank you. (I'm trying to be better at accepting nice things, but boy it's hard!)

And instead of cluttering your inbox, thank you so very much for helping me with the translation, and please pass along my profuse thanks to your friend for her help, as well. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Now to make a banner that will make it worth the effort. :)

p.s. It is "carousel" -- my brain was not firing on all cylinders last night and I realized this afternoon that the opening lines of the song are:

Listen to me, I have beautiful dreams I can spin you
Dreams to linger within you
Close your eyes and we'll ride my carousel


You were right. :) (sorry for the edit, I got mouse-click happy! lol)

Edits happen!

And I hear ya - it's so hard to sound genuine when responding to praise and even weirder, sometimes to think about getting the praise in the first place.

I will let her know, and I can't wait to see the banner you make for it.

*giddy* First of all - Fan.Tas.Tic. Need I say more? Well, I'm gonna :D

I think my fav is #2. Love the colors and the blends and that pic of SMG is just striking.

I also really love the 'spice miner' *snickers* The whole image is so clean and I love the composition and that metallic-type texture.

#6 is also a fav. Love the quote. Love the images. Love.It.

You think there's a possibility of turning #8 into an icon? The cropping on it is brilliant and have a I said the word love enough in this comment yet?

*happy sigh* I am contented by great art, thank you! *hugs*

Heee! Thank you!!

Let's see. . . #2 was one of those I was talking about, I just KNEW when I was making it that it had something.

Spice miner-- genius name for it, I wish I'd thought of it! <3

I'm working on the icon... do you want me to keep its transparent background?

[identity profile] xtanitx.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, you know me. Miss Indecision... Let me know if you want them any other way (or if you want to do something to it, feel free. :))





[identity profile] midnite-holic.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Transparent background ftw! \o/ That is so awesome, thanks so much! And, you inspired me to actually work on my banner *snorts* I decided to just start the whole thing basically over with your suggestions instead of trying to tweak the hell out of the original. Hopefully it turns out better :)
ext_15429: (yay!)

[identity profile] xtanitx.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm hopelessly depraved. I don't know what \o/ means, but it's DIRTY from where I'm sitting. LOL

YAY, motivation! I wanna see when you feel like it's ready to share! :D :D And I'm always here for a pep talk or whatever if you need. <3

[identity profile] midnite-holic.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Bwhah! \o/ is for 'victory!' see it as a head with it's arms raised like a 'v'. Tsk, tsk... dirty mind :D

I'll definitely be sending the file over a bit later. I got a bit sidetracked after looking at my dvr and realizing the new season of Dollhouse started and I'm 3 episodes behind. Thank god my dvr is smarter than me.

Icon love! "It's Franken-SCHTEEN!"

[identity profile] xtanitx.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh! Well victory makes total sense. And is certainly less awkward than random vagina flashing. Heee.

(Okay, I'm drinking. If that counts as an excuse! lol)

Enjoy the sexy Tahmoh. And the surprisingly sexy arms of Fran. Topher sort of became eye candy for me in the first episode. I'm hopeless and shallow. :D

I love the presentation of banners 1 and 8. Really great job! The others are excellent as well, but those two just grabbed me.
