These are all so amazing and I like each of them for different reasons. I know, when you previewed these to me, that I picked one that I liked the most... But now, as I look back (and review) I really just love them all.

You are so freaking talented!

I ended up liking the ones without Buffy better, but I was never happy with the pic I chose for her....

Yay!

I love the quote in this one - definately my favorite so far.

This was an interesting piece to do. I read the fic first after jedi made the request. Then I saw something different in my head, but I do like what came out of it.

Thanks!

It's nice I think. Buffy sort of fits in too, apart but there.

Yeah... I wasn't happy with how Buffy turned out this one (which is why I did a few version without her in it).

:-)

Oh wow that's awesome! Good job!

Thanks for the review and glad you liked!

I love possession!Xander, so the second one is my favorite. He looks so serious, a nice change from the goof ball we see so much. Who is the last person in the row. I recognized the Hyena and solider. The hair is coving it up, but the only other one I could think of would be the fish.

Glad you enjoyed them... :-)

The last person is the first slayer. I added her because of the joining spell and subsequent dream episode from the end of season 4. I honestly didn't even think about the fish creatures... Shhh... don't tell the people who think I'm the Xander lover I am that I forgot that... ;-)

That's pretty cool. : )

Thanks for the review even if I'm a little late saying so... :-)

As you know I'm not much of a Xander girl but the image in the second one kinda made me swoon. He looked all serious and sexy. Of course the creepy hyena glaring over his shoulder detracted from the hotness but I got why he was there. Wonderful job as always!!!

I more than make up for your lack of Xander girlness. :-)

Kinda funny you mention the hyena on that one, cause that pic of him was the hyena possessed Xander.

:-)

This manip makes me want to cry, because it is just a perfect visual for "All About the Journey" which made me wanna curl up in a little ball and cry.

You did a fabulous job of getting Xander, the map, the ribbon, basically it all together to put this wonderful piece together.

Thanks for sharing, both this wonderful manip, and the story that inspired it!

I'm glad you like it... I was so very happy with how it turned out cause I was a bit nervous it wouldn't turn out right.

I got the idea of using da Vinci's thing from this I found while doing a google image search...

Thought it added something to it.

*hands you some Kleenex*

Willow definitely went through a lot of changes over those seven seasons. Neat idea. I can't wait to see how the rest follow!

That she did. I'm working on another one at the moment that is actually going to be title art for my All About the Journey fic with Xander. It should be interesting if I can pull off what I hope to do. I just needed more excuses to make manips.

:-)

Interesting idea, are you going to have a song with each character? Show their evolution?

Eg the lollypop sucking, shop lifting, fifteen year old, Angel spots outside her L.A. high school, to the speech driven drill Sergeant of S7 that made people run and hide in the kitchen.

(song suggestions 'I'm a bitch' Alanis Morrisette, 'cold hard bitch' Jet, 'bitch' Goo Goo Dolls 'Can I bitch?' Eminem 'Kyle's Mom's a bitch' South park)

Or are your next pieces going to be more portrait type affairs.

The pairings sound good. Canon or speculative. because again... Giles and Dawn, with the accompanying song 'you're lost little girl' by the Doors.

Thanks for the great work. I thought the background for willow came across as very witchy. The four images you chose.= 4 seasons. Very witchy themes all around.

Thanks for the review!

I'm not sure yet what I plan to do for future manips in this collection as it's all kind of a "by ear" type thing. I do know that not all of them will have lyrics and the "evolution" theme as I plan on making some title art for my Xander-centric story All About the Journey. But thanks for the suggestions on songs and ideas. I'll have to look into them.

I originally thought about trying to fit 7 Willows in the manip, but settled for shy girl, confident witch, dark witch and white witch. Glad you liked!
