NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 06/2005 ~Well, as usual when I'm trying to cram in a zillion characters because I think the episode demands it, I'm not perfectly happy with the busyness of this, but I think it's as good as it's gonna get. Till I grow as a person, anyway ;-) Ideally I would have liked to work Angel in somewhere on the periphery, but that *really* wasn't working. oh, and I should add that the picture of Buffy actually started life as two separate frames. I knew I wanted a picture of her holding the blue bowl as a focal point, because it just seemed to sum up her mindset for the episode so well, but the expression on her face when Spike is giving his "came, conquered, felt really bad about it" speech was just so much more perfectly expressive than the only good shot I could get with the bowl in frame that I had to attempt to manip it in. I don't do a whole lot of manip, so I'm pleased this came out as well as it did...
