Yeah, another!

I don't really have anything of interest to post at the moment so I'm just going to do the usual and post a wallpaper.
This was made for a challenge over at Bloody Hell Blends. I worked real hard at this, it looks simple but it took quite a few hours to make.
Michelle was black and white originally so before starting the wall I colourized her.  I'm pretty pleased with the overall feel and style.

So fresh. :) And the coloring job on Dawn is gorgeous!

I am glad you like, Dualbunny. :D

I have been meaning to ask you for so long now, did you make the Spike/Buffy image on your LJ and the above avatar yourself? Both are seriously impressive! I wouldn't even know where to begin making something like that. More than a tad envious here. :P lol

Yep, they were both derived from the CD-cover style art I made for nautibitz's Crash & Burn AU fic, so thank you. :] Sketched the faces on the computer with photos I'd picked for references, and used various other photos and PS stuff to make the rest of it. I'm a sucker for warm color schemes (especially red-orange-gold), so I stole stuff from it for my journal. ;D

My PS skills have been languishing big-time lately, so I've really enjoyed seeing the walls you've been doing--lots to appreciate in them!

Again I am impressed! It looks like a lot of hard work went into it. I love that style! You must have been photoshopping for a long time, making something that stunning is not learnt overnight. I would really love to see your other art. You never know, some of that ability might rub off on me. :oD
