NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 07/2003 ~Okay, one more s1er before I go play with something else. Didn't take me long to decide on the images I wanted to use and the coloring, but the arrangement was an entirely different matter. There were 2 completely different layouts (and quite a few variations on each) before finally I decided this was the best I could do. I'm still a little unhappy with the floating head prominance, but I could find any midrange shots with such perfectly appropriate expressions, so that's how it goes.... Caps for this one come from Buffyverse.info and buffycaps.be, with some very light use of a few custom brushes from insomniac brushes. I used some stock pics of warehouse lighting fixtures and structural ceiling beams to fill in a little texture here and there.
