Banners and Icons Inspired by Shapinglight’s “Casablanca” (and Rebcake’s request for poppies)

My apologies for missing the 11th: my internet connection went bust as I was finishing this post. We just came back live, yay!  Now without further adieu, on with the show.

This being my first post proper at seasonal_spuffy: HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY! Thank you to the mods and members for all the work they do to keep this alive and especial thanks this past month to teragramm for all her advice and support and to rebcake for still being one of the nicest people I know in fandom.

First off, some poster art for shapinglight ‘s “Casablanca” from Round 18; I’ve wanted to make artwork for it since I read it last May and this round provided the perfect motivation and excuse.  As usual for me there are alts: in this case, four poster styles, plus accompanying icons. I’ve tried to be faithful to the spirit if not the letter of shapinglight‘s wonderful, mournful, elegant and strangely hopeful tale. I hope she approves. She is welcome to use any and all she likes.*

Hi! :) This is my first participation to Seasonal Spuffy. November 5th is my day, so here we go! I wasn’t really inspired by the theme, but I tried to do some stuff that I hope you will like. I’m not great when it comes to fanarts, but I find them fun to make. :) There are picspams, icons & banners.

Happy 10th anniversary to Seasonal Spuffy!

I Walk Alone

A/N: This is one of my fave Spuffy scenes and I liked the way the camera slowly panned them. From intent to murder to silent comforter. That Spike! He walks his own path and so does Buffy. A nice excuse to make a Photoshop action to clean up, textureise and present a bunch of images. Forgot to make an icon. And durn uploaded in order instead of reverse. One at a time add then it is. 28 images you scroll quickly to get one of those old time flickering films. :D Thans to Greenday who sometimes sound quite nice, for singing about our star crossed kids.

A/N: Some snaps of some my fave episodes and scenes in the journey that was Spike and Buffy from S4 to S7. One almost always begins with Something Blue for Spuffy. There was so much more to their engagement than a simple wish of “Why don’t they just get married.” The happiness, the intimacy, the thoughtfulness from both. Feelings to linger in both long after the spell.

And my dreams

Season: S6
A/N: I loved this particular scene from Dead Things in S6 and thought of it immediately when I was listening to the song behind Blue Eyes by the Who. I thought the line I’ve used is particularly suited to Spike and Buffy at this particular time. Their relationship is the wrecked house. He is still a demon who struggles to have a conscience worthy of the Slayer he loves and his love for her is drawing him out of the dark, into the light. Buffy is struggling to come back to life, to feel again, to get past the harsh reality of losing her place in heaven and the feelings that being with Spike is changing those lights from dark hysteria into the colours of life. Their relationship burns them both even as they struggle to achieve the dreams they each hold deep inside…

You love so hard…

Season: S7
A/N: I love this scene. Soft, a changing in their relationship, a new beginning after the horrors of S6. I’ve used the colours of passion and love – reds and purples – with a touch of gold for the truth and purity of his love for her and finally hers for him. The blues are for their strength and the texture for the depth of their passion, A tender moment that acknowledges what they recieve from the other.

Bouncing Back – A Spuffy Banner

Rating: PG
Season: S7
A/N: For me the scene of Buffy sleeping in Spike’s arms is the turning point, the boucing backpoint in the battle against the first. The good guys are in chaos having ousted Buffy and about to suffer a defeat under the new leadership. Spike’s belief and unselfish devotion to Buffy gives her heart, she retrieves the Scythe and gathers her troops back to her leadership, finds in those last moments that she can and does love and Spike finally gains his humanity in his ultimate sacrifice…

Seasonal Spuffy – Graphics Once More With Feeling

nmcil12

And here we are  – Spuffy in the comic books Buffy Season 10 and their “Second Chance” at sharing their lives together in a loving relationship that is based on equality and acceptance of their lives –  both the light/positive and the dark/negative aspects that are part of who Buffy and Spike are.  We shall see if Joss Whedon and Dark Horse will finally place Buffy on this very important new phase of her life – moving on from her earlier love experiences and allowing herself to find happiness with Spike.  As for Spike- he has been loving this woman for so long but he has also made some very important changes for his own life that has taken him away from his “love’s bitch” existence and he knows that he no longer wants to live at the outer edges of her life.  We shall see – but Buffy and Spike have placed “all their Spuffy eggs in the Soul Basket”  and I just hope that this time they will find love together.

Seasonal Spuffy – Graphics

nmcil12

Another study from what I think is one of the best episodes of the entire BS6 – the triad of “Dead Things”  “Older and Far Away” and “As You Were” have always, in my interpretation of the series, been more a reflection of Buffy’s dreamscape nightmare inner demons and her emotional trauma than a statement of Spike’s real world and the premise that Spike is wanting to drag Buffy into the darkness of his world.  I’ve always felt that Spike is primarily reacting to the parameters and rules that Buffy set up from her first kiss in “One More With Feeling” and eventually led to the tragic events of “Seeing Red.”

Summary: As I played around with a final project for seasonal spuffy, I took a break to catch up on the posts on that comm and read a future fic titled All the Shakespearoes written by anactoria. It’s a great post apocalyptic, post series and comics stories and I was prompted to produce the following. I do recommend the story though a warning, there is major charachter death.
