Fine Art - Fan Art

[thedothatgirl]

So a while back I had a tinker with some photoshop manips.  Nothing ' dangly'  or NSFW because I'm not that proficient ;) -  this was initially due to a contest prompt at still_grrr  and then I was reminded  recently when lovely rua1412  updated her layout with some fine art.    So I went and dug out some paintings by Artists of which I am particularly fond and here we are!   The whedonverse meets the art world.

A little taster  'Echo' (or Faith if you prefer) as Isabella and the Pot of Basil (Holman-Hunt)  I was very fortunate to attend the massive Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition (twice) at the Tate back in '84 and saw this amongst others and can say that it certainly left an impression.  Click the thumb to see full size.



More under the cut Willow by Vermeer    Buffy by Waterhouse
Xander by Caravaggio

  And there's four more here   . I did have fun making them, I've a couple half finished and I'm on the lookout for some that will work for more of  the men of the verse.
