Description I've been in a Spuffy mood.
Like, a lot.
And I can't draw them. Either of them. It's really quite tragic.
The world needs more quality Spike/Buffy art in it. But you'll probably never get any from me, haha. Just these scribbles. Oh, well... I tried. ^_^

This was originally posted on my Tumblr. Sorry for repeating myself, people who follow me both here and there!

I'll get to some of my other projects soon! Well, soon-ish... I've got to get used to school again, first.

WELL I know I already commented on tumblr, but I'm going to comment again... my comments are probably mostly the same, though.

I still love the eyes and the highlights. And the shading, of course, as always~. I think the best thing about these though are how many tiny details it looks like you put in their eyes. And their hair too. Man. I would NOT be patient enough to add in those details - but they're what really adds to the picture, I think!

We already talked about how hard it is to draw real people, though. Anyway, I still think this counts as quality Spike/Buffy art, so I don't know what you're talking about. XP

There's nothing wrong with the repeats either. I mean, I do it too! How's school been, by the way?

Oh yeah, I know I don't know much about the characters, but I really like Spike's smirk. Also I somehow didn't noticed this on tumblr, but it's awesome how the background fades out and gets brighter right at that focal point where the two are touching. Like, I guess that's part of the composition you were talking about before? Anyway, it's totally great!! I love stuff like that.

Thank you so much!

I actually used the same method for their hair that I use for pretty much all my pictures - it's pretty quick and fun, and I'm really glad you think it's effective! The eyes were a bit different for me, so I'm also really glad you like them!

Aw, thanks! But I really wish I could do some of the more interesting aspects of the characters justice... as opposed to just quick sketches of cutesy fluffiness. (Not that I don't adore fluff!)

Schools been interesting... I think that the hardest thing right now is getting to know new people. I've learned so many names, and remembered maybe 1/50 of them.... And also, homework. I need to learn to do that again.

Hee, smirking Spike makes me happy. I hadn't thought of it that way... but I suppose that I (mostly subconsciously) intended it to highlight the motion and action of the sketch, so... pretty much, yeah. : ) Thank you, again! It's always so wonderful to hear from you!

No problem. C:

Well it works and if it's fun then that's what really matters!

You're welcome! Hmmyeah, I think I know what you mean there. We all have things we wish we could do with our art - but it's just so stubborn! I'm sure that if you got the motivation/inspiration and set your mind to it, though, that you could achieve that goal!

Ohhhhh... I totally relate to that. Are you going to a bigger or smaller college? I hope you don't have too much homework.

You mean it wasn't on purpose?! MAN! Your subconscious is on fire! You're welcome, again. Awww, well I'm glad you actually like talking to me! C: I'm just elated that you actually respond to my comments. I feel like some people don't.

I can always dream, haha... But they just never seem to turn out... oh, well. I think a lot of people have the same issues as me, too... there's really not very much Spuffy art out there, even though it still has a very dedicated following.

It's a pretty big college... for me, it's huge, actually. There's something like 33,000 students, which is more than the population of my hometown. And it's a religious school, so it's really weird in that, for example, today my Computer Science teacher opened his lecture with a prayer.
So far the homework hasn't been too bad... but I have a procrastination problem that I need to get over. ^_^ And I fear that the homework, once it really starts, will build up a lot of momentum. Possibly causing me to loose control, crash, and get crushed under the weight of textbooks, papers, and laptop computers. This metaphor is really, really lacking. XD

Hee, thanks! =^_^=

Well... maybe not yet they haven't, but I'm sure you'll get there! Oh... yeah, I know what you mean. And I can't blame them, since I hate even doing crossovers with live-action characters.

Oh wow. I don't like big schools. I'm not sure how big my hometown is, but I went to a middle school that only had like 300 or so people INCLUDING staff. Of course all the other middle schools were huge, this one was just an exception, but still. Did you want to go to a religious school, or did you just happen to end up there? That certainly sounds interesting.
I can relate to that alright! Especially the fear! I've always hated writing papers. But I know what you mean. I think artists in particular worry about workloads because, for people who do their work and want to be successful, they worry that if they do all their work - they'll run out of time for art and whatever other creative outlets they like. I know I always get really depressed when I don't have time to dedicate myself to a theatre production. So yeah.

You're welcome. C:

Yeah, I knew where I was going! : ) It's just a change, is all!

Ugh, homework. Heh, I should go do that... ^_^
I didn't know you did theater! That's neat!

Mmhmm~.

Probably.
Oh, you didn't? I always forget who knows and who doesn't. Thanks! I really like it.

I feel it grabs the heart of Buffy , which to me is a stronger feeling than portraits of actors could ever give
