Discovered in the Brandy Butter - December 18

Sorry... My Mojo and I still haven't properly made up from the big break-up of 2005 and I just went blank... What I wound up with was a half-assed, crappy attempt at my first manip. And now that I'm done with it, I *swear* I've seen it before... Done better. So forgive me if I inadvertently stole your idea. :-(

Oh, I really, really like them! That's such a beautiful pose for the pair of them, too! Well done! :D

Thank you - you're so kind. :-)

I think this is gorgeous!

Thank you - I just wish I had more time to *polish* it... Augh!

Wow!

These are gorgeous; stunning.

Thank you - you're so kind. :-)

Oh, but they're gorgeous! I particularly love the top one...oh, but the fog.... Well, I think you don't just appreciate your mojo. *g* These are fabulous. Thank you!

My Mojo and I could use a counselor... There's been a lot of door slamming around the house. ;-)

Thank you - you're so kind. :-)

What the hell are you talking about half-assed and crappy?? These are superb!! I'm not a huge fan of manips, but hand on my heart I *love* what you've done here. Very natural and warm and intimate and just... lovely.

Favourite is the top one, but then the fog effect is very pretty too, as is the wallpaper-sepia one.. oh, they are just all good, thank you!

:::HUGS::: You're very kind. I wish I'd taken more time to polish them... The lack... Magic. And/or perfection. But thank you so much for the encouraging words. :-)

Yum yum yum, all gorgeous but I have nabbed no.1 because the colours are just so pretty :D

Thank you. I have to say, I'm rather fond of gradients in Photoshop... It seems like cheating but they always add something so nice to wallpaper - An easy way to add interest and color.

Wow, those look fantastic. I like the first one best *saves to Murphy*

Thank you - You're very kind.

Oh lovely stuff - nothing to be embarrassed about there, I wish I could create something half as good and be embarrassed about it! *g* Think I like the first one best too, it's something about the colours... Thank you!

:::HUGS::: I'm just such a perfectionist and this is my first attempt... I guess I'm being a little hard on myself. You're sweet - thank you. :-)

Chiming in with everyone else to say how gorgeous these are. I've grabbed the top one and it's currently gracing my desktop.

Thank you... :::hugs:::

Gorgeous wallpapers! You did a fantastic job. I LOVE the first one. It now has a home on my desktop *g*. Thank you!

Thank you - You're so kind.

yup yup ditto ditto ditto ... no 1's colours very appealing, but I really love it because Mr B looks sooooo ... well, he just does *g*

Thank you - You're very kind.

Yeah, me too! Good stuff. I really like the pic and you a fine job with it. I'm snagging them for my very own as well.

Thank you... :::hugs:::

I love what you've done. It looks very natural and moody. Love the texture on the third one.

Thank you... :::hugs::: The third is my fav too. :-)

Lovely! I join the general chorus of appreciation. I particularly like the first one, too very natural looking and appealing! Thank you for these!

Thank you... :::hugs:::

They're all gorgeous!

Thank you - You're very kind.

"Half-assed"? "Crappy"?

Far from it, mate - these are lovely!

Well done, and thank you!

:::HUGS::: Thank you - I'm being a little hard on myself, I suppose.

I don't think these are done poorly at all. I thought they were well done, especially the first one. Thanks for doing them and thanks for posting them. You underestimate your ability!

Thank you - You're very kind.

Loverly - just loverly. I much like the first one - solemn Bodie is my thing, ya know...

Thank you... :::hugs::: That's one of my very favorite pics of Bodie - He's so, so solemn indeed. :-)

Beautiful pose for the Lads, love the expressions on their faces. Think I prefer the first one, although the dreamy last one is great too.

You are definitely being too hard on youself, these are fantastic.

:::HUGS::: Thank you.

I think that it's a cool manip and very different from most of the ones I've seen (half-naked, snogging, etc -- not that there's anything wrong with that). I especially find the expression on Bodie's face intriguing, it could be read so many ways -- from what took you so long to wtf? I love stuff that's open to interpretation. And you got it done on time, and that's what counts.

Plus I believe that slamming doors is perfectly normal in a artist/muse relationship. I remember a book reading by Jasper Fforde where he described researching one of his novels. At one point, he was making such a ruckus in his office that his partner knocked on the door and asked if he was having a seizure or just reading "Wuthering Heights" again. So there you go -- you are the plucky comic relief. :-)

I started out just trying to use two favorite pics (thinking I'd do some sort of background) and they just...fit right together!

Thank you for your kind response.

These are all gorgeous and your choice of caps makes an interesting mood for them.

Thank you for your kind response.

These are quite lovely! You have absolutely no need to slam doors. Thanks for sharing them with us. Now go and buy your Mojo something pretty. :-)

Thank you - You're very kind. Hrumph...Mojo *might* get a little something for Christmas...We'll see.

These are gorgeous, especially the first one. Done better? I doubt it. :-)

:::hugs::: Thank you.

I really love these! Well done and thanks.

Thank you - You're very kind.

I really like the first one:-) But ,please, could you make its version without the text so it would be more universal and not so seasonal? I rarely change my desktop wallpaper, barely once a year...

Here you go:
