Manips, wallpapers, and banners. Oh My!

Forgive me for posting a smidge early. I will not be available for most the day so I figured I'd post the evening before rather than miss it.
The selection is not at all dial-up friendly. You may wish to avoid peeking at your workplace, though there's nothing graphic. I'm sorry there are no icons this round and hence, no teasers. Hopefully it will be worth your time to clicky.

Silly Pin-Up Giles. Which Scooby or Big Bad might have this baby tucked away in their locker/crypt?

Oh, Yes. So much Gilesy goodness. A girl could faint from teh hot!!

They will all have a place on my hard drive for later use.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Giles does have a way of steaming up me things.

:o)

Man, I always know you're going to produce quality stuff, but I have to say... "Remembrance"? Brought tears to my eyes. So very, very excellent. Poignant and kinda hot and... wow. As soon as I get my computer back, that's going on my desktop. The rest are fantastic, too, but that one just stands head and shoulders above, in my opinion.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

::hugs you::

I so suck. I didn't even notice I misspelled remembrance. Thank you for breaking it to me gently. It should be fixed. And I swear I ran that through Word before I used it, too. *is embarrassed*
I'm glad you like that one. It's my favorite as well. There is such a sadness there and it looks very much like a painting to me.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

So beautiful, all of them!

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
:o)

[larakailyn.livejournal.com]

OMG, these are so beautiful. I took most of the wallpapers to use, and my friend and I totally fell in love with Giles as an Angel since we have an RP where he'll be just that! You do amazing work!

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Glad you like them. Feel free to use Giles!Angel all you like.

[deviantfantasy.livejournal.com]

Loved the Angel one because my Giles is about to become an angel in the RP I play him in. :D Snagged the Angel one, and the candle FO banner since it matches my new layout. Beautiful work! :)

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Enjoy and have fun RP-ing.

[ladyforash.livejournal.com]

I just dropped dead!

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

*revives you*

lol. I'm not sure to be happy or nervous about them causing that sort of reaction. Glad you like them, nonetheless.

:o)

[twilightofmagic.livejournal.com]

These are amazing. I loved them all, but that one with Giles and Ethan is so incredibly sexy. Terrific work, Wickedfox. You really do extraordinary images, and so skilfully.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Ethan is my filthy little guilty pleasure. I adore the character, especially with Ripper. I'm glad the wp with them together works. They are such pretty boys with a naughty chaser.

:o)

[quoshara.livejournal.com]

Wow. Wow...and just.... wow. *s*

These are all beautiful.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. You are too kind. I'm glad you like them.

[antennapedia.livejournal.com]

The Friends-only banner with the candle: the clutter is somehow just so Gilesy. And the angel one (am sucker for Giles-as-angel anything).

The silly pinup needs to go with a fic. He's saying something to a person who isn't getting into bed with him fast enough. And what he's saying is...

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

I'm a sucker for an angel anything as well. Something about that just gets to me. And if any character would be a guardian angel, Giles would certainly make the cut.

So what is pinup!Giles saying and who is he saying it to?

:o)

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Those are all excellent. Now to decide which wallpaper to use first.

Bravo!

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm so glad you like them.

[meegat.livejournal.com]

Awesome as ever!

You spoil us - Mmmmm seriously in love with the Back in Black one...

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. He looks dangerous in that one. Like he could ravish you without hesitation. Sweep you off your feet and toss you to the bed. His fingers claw at the waistband of your jeans and...
is it suddenly hot in here? I think I need some water.

:o)

[kaymickbee.livejournal.com]

My icon says it all...

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

Would someone mind checking my pulse? *guh*

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

I'll send Ripper right over.

:o)

[katekat]

My jaw has literally dropped. These are BEYOND stunning lady! I'm left almost (but not quite - hence the comment) speechless by the glory of them all! The banners are all fantastic,'My Boys' is so steamy and adorable (I love ethan's look, and the fact that Giles' gaze challenges the viewer).

Some comments on my favorites - 'Carefree wading' is simply excellent, and your artwork there is as crisp as the folds of his shirt. OH, and YUMMY, with that little head tilt. 'Deep in thought' has such lovely color, and the vest??? GAH. Plus the textures are so nicely juxtaposed. 'Inviting Seduction' is simply HOT, yummy hot, the kind of hot that makes me want to rip him off the screen and into real life. I like the fire too. *grin* And
Roses?? There is so much beauty, heartbreaking beauty, in that piece that I'm nearly overwhelmed by it. It is, in a word, perfect.

But my ultimate favorite? the Angel. I've come back to it now three or four times, and it makes me want to revise my profile to finally have fannish content on there. He's simply AMAZING, and I adore him - and you, for sharing all of this wonderful pretty with us.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. You are way too kind. ::hugs::
I'm glad you like the Angel one since it was one I really battled with and still wasn't overly pleased with. Feel free to take and alter anything you like. If you wish, I could send a version of the Angel one without text.

Thank you for putting on this community so I could have some fun and an excuse to tinker with my addiction to photoshop.

::hugs::

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

Snagging the first two wallpapers, both of which are very pretty. I like the Friends Only banners, too. Good show. :)

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like them.

[headrush100.livejournal.com]

Giddy with admiration here! Those are amazing, Wicked! Fabulous, fabulous job!

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweety. I'm tickled you like them.

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, as always. Snagging the Back to Black wp. Love the candle banner too. Makes me wish my LJ was Friends Only.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you like them. If you really wanted to use the candle pic, I could do a plain version without text for you to use anyway you wanted. Just let me know.

:o)

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

These are all absolutely completely fabulous--my particular favorites include the black one, the candle banner (I'm with dragonydreams, now I want to be FO just for that banner! I would so use that or a version of it as my whole layout, actually. *wonders if I can bribe you with fic*

The only thing that could make the last one more fantastic than it already is would be if his left hand had that ring I obsess over [insert quote about fixation on tiny details here]...

Very, very good. /fans self @ the boys...

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I tend to obsess over that ring as well so you're not alone in that.

Here is a slightly larger version of the candle banner in case you want to try and adapt it for use as a LJ banner.

[pnksaph.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Goodness. These are amazing. I love Deep in Thought and Until my final Sunset.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like them. It was a fun batch to produce.

[satin-toile.livejournal.com]

Carefree Wading and Roses are beautiful.
Although I do love a smiling ASH, a pensive Giles is a very sexy Giles.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm so glad you like them. And I agree that a pensive Giles is a sexy Giles. Actually, anything Giles is a sexy Giles.

*grin*

Very neat.

[skytteflickan88.livejournal.com]

Nice. And I have to say that 'Inseparable' is very well done.

Re: Very neat.

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad the illusion works for you.

[c-ash-flow.livejournal.com]

Wow!
Fantastic as always! *hugs*

[wickedfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darlin'.

[wide-rider.livejournal.com]

Wow! I'm so glad that I decided I didn't care about tying up my phone line! These are wonderful. I could sit here and just drool over them all day long! ;-)

[jacteest.livejournal.com]

Pin up's great! And I love the colours and setting in the friends only banner with the candle. Again, great work. I sometimes sneak over to your website to see if you've done some new Giles-stuff.

[prettybird.livejournal.com]

These are all lovely, but the coloring on the candle banner is wonderful. Is that one of your manips? I've never seen that picture before. If it is, it's flawless.
