My Second (well, third) Ever Fanart

So, I've been working on a B:tVS/Falling Skies crossover 'verse in pieces during the August fic-a-day challenge over at [livejournal.com profile] twistedshorts. Y'all haven't seen any of it here, however, mostly because I intend to stitch it all together in one big post when the month is up. It's all Buffy POV, so I think it won't be too jarring; I did the same thing with the Buffy/DOOM story I wrote in bits for the 2006 challenge, and ended up with a 10K story.

Anyway. I had a wild hair today, and created my second ever fanart to go with it (well, third, if you count the crappy hand-drawn one, but second computer-generated) all pulled from TNT posters and IMDB images:

Voices Like Thunder

What do you think? Worthy of being included in the story post? I'm really new at this Photoshop thing.

No, that's not a distraction.

I like it, don't worry.

The main thing that bothers me is that... even though the divide between the top part and the bottom part is nice and dramatic, it also gives the image as a whole a lack of unity. I'm not entirely sure what to do to fix it. A few different things I'd try:

1. Remove the girl with her hands on her hips altogether - her position emphasizes the idea that the top part and the bottom part are disjoint.
2. Move the girl with her hands on her hips down so that she starts at the bottom and overlaps both parts. That may or may not work.
3. Put a border around the whole thing.

Better, but I'd like to see how it goes with #2. 8-)
