Five favorite manips by Vamptastica

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

vamptastica has really flowered this year to become the premier illustrator of fan fiction. In fact, she's so good she's been offered RL work doing it. Anyway, here are five that give you a tiny glimpse of why she's so good.


1. My story Man Hunter has been heavily illustrated by Vamps, so it's very hard to choose one, but I think this is such an outstanding work of art: Banner for Man Hunter. She reads the story and gets inside it and often I put things in the narrative that I see in her art. Semi-work safe (Spike is wearing tatty underwear.)

2. Banner for Seget by incasink, which I can tell you is right into the world created by the author: Seget banner. Bloody, but worksafe.

3. Banner for Festivalverse by btvslover82 Festivalverse Worksafe.

4. Not work safe banner for Man Hunter Inside Liam's drawer. Vamps showed us what Liam was hiding in his office drawer here. NOT worksafe.

5. And her Goth Xander manip Goth Xander. Worksafe.

She is! There is just so much she's done that this is barely a taste.

As you so rightfully say there is so much to choose from with her wonderful work.

I myself adores the series of artworks she created for Noel of Spike and all thework she did for Manhunter.

Her eye for colour and her amazing use of type is just superb.

God, yes. Well, we'll see those banners from Noel again. Some have been recycled for people as lj banners and most are being made into award banners for Forbidden.

She's wonderful. I think we are very lucky to have such talented people in our fandom!

they are truly magnificent

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Yes, and she makes them on request for people if she likes their works. That's when she has time! There is a long line up with Vamps of things she's making. At the moment, she's doing a banner for Soapstone.

She is such a talented woman! Every one is gorgeous. I have a fondness for the first but the fourth is amazing. The expression on Spike's face and...other things. *g*

hahaha, how could you not love number 4? He looks all ready for action. *g*

I thought the first one had a particularly interesting design. It's great to have wonderful banners to go with the writing!

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think so too. She's an amazing artist.

These are wonderful! The Seget banner is just incredibly good - I wouldn't have known it was a manip!

Thanks for posting

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Seget was one of my favorite stories this year so it was terrific to see a really amazing banner for it.
