Your work gets better and better each challenge and this is probably your best set for this comm yet - WOW! Your Joyce icon makes me melt, it's so lovely, but I really like your way with text in Cordy, Giles, and Xander, as well as your wit (Xander again and Oz); Spike, Dawn and Willow are all incredibly pretty. Great job!

[killing-kurare.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you dear! That really means a lot to me <3 I also had really much fun doing these icons :)
Thanks for letting me know in detail!!
Your comment made me really happy, so sorry for the late answer ^^'

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

No worries hon! I'm late on a lot of replies myself so I totally understand.

I think one month on, the Willow, Joyce and Xander icons are still definitely my favorites. I cannot get over how funny the Xander one is, thanks to the placement of the text, the punctuation, even the color variations. That one is just perfection.

[feliciacraft.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lovely! Favorites: Buffy, Dawn, Fred and Dru. I like hairporn. :)

Thank you so much for your comment :D So glad you like them ^^

Oh hey - I'm saving your winning icons this round because I'm making the awards banners and I saw your Ted icon and WHOA. Just WHOA. That is so simple and so freakin' fantastic - no special effects, just so stark and horrifying.

(I've written meta about the episode so it's become one of those "not great but overlooked" eps that actually offers a lot to talk about. *points to user pic*) I don't think I've seen anyone do an icon of that image, and it's brilliant.

It's in your PB and not posted on your journal so perhaps you don't want it shown. May I snag it?

Congratulations again on your wins this round!

[killing-kurare.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, thank you :D :D :D
I'm so flattered and happy you like that one ^^ And of course you can snag it, that's still the biggest honor to me if someone does :3 (I was so happy when I saw someone I didn't know use one of my Dawn-icons xD But of course she did credit ^^)

And it's not that I don't want anyone to see xD I guess I just forgot to add it as an extra ^^ So thanks for pointing it out, I'll add it now xD

And yes, I LOVED that episode, too!

And thanks again ... I was soooo happy when my Dru-Icon won in this round, for this is one of my most favourite I ever did (Dru is sooo great) xD And congrats to you too of course :D You've also won a lot with these amazing icons <3
So yeah, I'm really looking forward to your banners :3

You really made my day with this comment <3

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you didn't use that as your monster/XCU icon because that is really freakin' disturbing in the best sort of way. As in, too bad it's an alt because that would be my banner maker's choice.

What is the source of your screen cap? I can't decide if you started with a really good HD cap or if you really really cleaned it up because all the caps I have from that episode are super dark and grainy.

And yes when I see someone using one of my icons I just get a huge kick out of it. Good to know the person who snagged yours gave credit. I know a lot of icons end up being snagged over at fan pop.com and other places where the names of the creators are lost, and that's too bad.

And yes, I LOVED that episode, too!

I didn't realize I did until I saw fandom arguing over the episode and getting down on Buffy for the wrong things, and totally ignoring the legitimate domestic violence angle, and the right of someone who is attacked to defend herself; it forced me to revisit the episode and realize just how much of it struck home with my own upbringing.And how much is going on in that episode that pretty much gets ignored.

There's very few episodes in this series that don't have a lot of layers, even the "throwaway" eps.

And casting nice guy John Ritter was a minor stroke of genius.

I was soooo happy when my Dru-Icon won in this round, for this is one of my most favourite I ever did (Dru is sooo great)

Congratulations again! I'm still working on the banners so I apologize for the delay. I didn't really fully appreciate Drusilla until this year; and I have drusillathekiller on tumblr and kikimay to thank for that mostly.
