jedibuttercupSo, 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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:
What do you think? Worthy of being included in the story post? I'm really new at this Photoshop thing.

If you could do something about Kennedy's hair, she wouldn't look so pasted-on, but even so, I think it looks better without her there, because her presence makes the bottom of the image look crowded.
The Buffy-face looks good where she is, for a few different reasons:
* her position is part of the diagonal made by the writing
* her hair colour blends in with the river bank
* her skin tone matches the the lighting of the image; the lighting on Kennedy is more red-orange, while the skin tone of Buffy goes better with the pinks in the sky. I know the problems with Kennedy are just the misfortune of not being able to find a good matching picture of Kennedy, but sometimes one just has to cut one's losses.
So YAY for the final version. 8-)

Did you notice I snuck Andrew into the final image, though, to make up for losing Kennedy? I was sneaky with him; I was lucky enough to find a full-length image of Tom Lenk to shrink into there!
