Title: Cirque du Slay.
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] fenderlove
Rating: G
Summary: SlayAlive Forums is having a fanart contest that is being judged by BtVS Season Eight artist Georges Jeanty. They also gave posters a chance to vote for their favourite out of the twenty-two entries (which is why I had to wait to post this since I couldn't reveal that it was mine at the time), and mine got the most votes! They haven't announced which entries Jeanty has picked to win the main competition though.
Anyway, this is my entry- the Buffyverse as the crazy circus that it is. The main purpose of the contest was to draw the "essence" of the characters, so I hope that I captured that in a metaphorical kind of way.

This is amazing. Thought it was yours when I first saw it, and it would have totally got my vote if I weren't too emotionally volatile to participate on boards. Good luck!

It was particularly the Dawn that reminded me of your Spike/Fred sugarplum fairy thing, so that clued me in. But yes, your style is recognizable (as are the characters without becoming cartoony).

I do have an odd obsession with sequins and tutus. XD I like Dawn's keyhole tutu (it was my favourite outfit to do other than Willow's), and I sorta want one for myself. XD

Have people told you how much this makes them want to write AU fic?

From: [identity profile] fenderlove.livejournal.com


I have heard that from a few people. I would love to read fics inspired by my artwork. I may actually write a little fic myself for this too. :D

oh i bet angel is. i was rewatching the series with my roommate and dang angel is actually cute in season one! i don't know what happened. and spike is so much easier to recreate. it's those beautiful cheek bones. haha.

The cheekbones really do help you draw everything on the face as long as you remember that his nose is crooked and one of his eyelids folds differently than the other one. XD I think allowing Angel to suddenly go from bone-white to tan while supposedly a creature of darkness was a mistake. I mean, it makes since if Spike is a little tan since he idiotically skirts danger by constantly running about during the day, but Angel is all lurky. XD
