NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 07/2003 ~ After all the trouble the looming heads of the last one gave me, this time I decided to make sure that wouldn't be an issue by not using any head-shot closeups at all. For texture, I used multiple copies of one particular screen shot from near the end of the episode (where the disembodied hand is unlocking the grate to get into Angel's apartment) because I really liked the hexagon tiles and the horizontal-slat gratings. I also found some EKG printout pictures (the MotW being a dr, this seemed appropriate) at gettyone.com and a world map at frenchtextures.com to add bits of half-seen interest in between images. And that same scan of a brown paper bag that I used in primative in conjunction with a few custom brushes from insomniac brushes to add even more texture. The original caps are from buffyverse.de and buffycaps.be
