Me, myself & I

I've posted a bunch of old and new icons over at halfamoon

Half a Moon is a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom, which will run from February 1 through Valentine's Day.

Savage Anna has made a great angsty Peter/Claire AU (Heroes.) She uses starglow/shine very effectively to enhance the mood. Also, Peter and Claire are kissing! Another example of manipulation. It's a trend isn't it?

Me and Photoshop are friends at the moment so I offer 3 headers for usage. :) Take, comment, credit.

The Reverie style contest is is in it's final stages now so once that's over completely, in a couple of days, I'll have a few recs to share. There have been some *fantastic* vids come out of it. Dexter, House and Heroes to name a few. I may also have one of my own...

In the meantime here are a couple of awesome Smallville & Animated videos to check out. I was suggesting them for vividcon's experimental and Saturday Morning Cartoon vidshows so I thought I may as well plug them here too. If you download them please feed the vidders. :)

Title: There's Only Me

This is such  a clever AU narrative that places Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne into Smallville.

Video Title: The Wreckoning
Song Title/Artist: The Wreckoning - BoomKat
Fandom/Character: Heroes, Niki-Jessica
Summary: Jessica pov. It's all about the jekyll & Hyde, the love/hate, the sub/dom, the protector/protected relationship of Niki and Jessica.**swear words and possible spoilers**
Length/Format: 2.12 (Xvid)
Notes:
This is part 2 of the ongoing vid/let challenge with astartexx (part 1 was "Protege Moi".) Astarte gave me the song but didn't specify any show or character, Niki/Jessica just spoke to me. The major problem was how to get across the concept of Crazy Brain Twin. The video feels disjointed very much like the two characters. As the video was set as a challenge it gave me the opportunity to experiment a lot more with effects and come out of my comfort zone a bit. Some of these are more subtle and some are in your face. For those who haven't seen the show Jessica's the psycho with the tattoo but honestly that won't help much because even when she's not on screen she's still sort of there. It's probably the one time where pov confusion is actually intentional. lol

Feedback is loved.
