So yeah, with all this wallpaper madness happening here, thought I'd dabble a little. Found a couple tutorials online and came up with this:

Aly Wallpaper

So . . . um, yeah. Hope you like it.

Pretty amazing for a first attempt! I can only imagine what else you’ll come up with after even more experience. This is great. Really nice Aly pictures and I like the text effect in the background. I hope this isn't the last wallpaper you'll make, I'd love to see more. Wonderful job on this!

I'd like to thank everyone for their wonderful comments. I really appreciate it, especially coming from you seasoned wallpaper-ers. :) I think you guys have pretty guaranteed that I will spend countless hours toiling away at my computer with yet another Willow/Tara hobby to distract me. Ha!

So here's another.

Hey Foo, it’s great to see a second update from you. And another really nice one at that! I love that you made a Tara wallpaper, she is my favorite, and yes her brilliant blue eyes are definitely captivating. I like the shades of color you used, brighter in some places while darker in others. And finally, that quote on the bottom. Love it. Great job and keep them coming. :peace

Sith: I went back and changed it when I read your post. Duh, eyes! So I did a little research and found a way to make them blue. Thanks for the comment!

river:Thanks!

Tarababy77: Hehe, my pleasure. :)

Renee85: The quote is actually from a Shakira song ("Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Asi"). I thought it was fitting . . . . :)

tarebear: The shade of blue isn't really the one I was going for, but it just 'popped' when I added it, since it contrasts the rest of the wallpaper. I'm glad you liked it!

db: Thank you!

ambercissism: Hmmmm . . . Fingersmith wallpaper . . . need to schedule that in somewhere . . . :)

Okay, is it just me, or do the pictures of Amber Benson on the left and right kind of look like Eliza Dushku?

Foodibs!

Augh, God. These images really hurt. Right....there *bottom of heart*

You have a distinct knack for seeing things I often forget are there. (Like in your TWW vid, I never even realized how often Willow stroked Tara's hair. But you saw! And you strung them together into a beautiful narrative. It's almost as if you bring to light new scenes TV never showed, it's so neat)

God, pulling at the damn heartstrings, I just looked again. Just that look on Tara's face in the first(one on the left) just...pulls at me. And as she melts into her own private hell, Willow is just taking the stage with hers. Her faces during those episodes when Tara loses it, you can tell she's barely holding on.

Foo, this hurts so good, I can't stop lookin' at it!

Great to see you back with a new update! This latest wallpaper is really well done, I love the shades of colors. The pictures you used are really sad to see, but they effectively display the desperation, sadness, and heartbreak in that moment. Nice job!

Rachel:

Thanks so much for the comments. What can I say, I'm an angst whore. When I was choosing the stills for this particular wallpaper, I was struck at how much more emotional and heart rending the still shots were than the actual scene. The one with Willow's eyes closed and Tara screaming in particular, just breaks my heart.

Renee85:

I was testing out some color effects I learned from tutorials I found online. It took me a while to get the right mix of colors, so I'm glad you liked it. :)
