This took me 2 almost 3 weeks to paint. It's my best work I've ever done, I hope you like!

Also, you may use this for any graphics as long as you give me credit. I'll be making a "Making Of..." soon...ish and maybe some wallpaper for it too. :)

Wow, that's really gorgeous! I love the phoenix in the background too. So appropriate!

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you very much! I wanted imagery that really fits with Spike and Buffy and I think since fire is a given and since their love is made new almost every season, I went with the Phoenix! I'm really glad you thought it was appropriate! <3

It's incredibly gorgeous! The nudity is tastefully done, and their faces have just the right balance of likeness abd artist's unique vision of them.
The concept is cool. Like phoenix, they're back, no matter what.
Kudos!

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you very much! I didn't want it to be distasteful, but I wanted them nude to show the rawness of their relationship. The concept, when I thought about it, is all about Spuffy, their themes, their relationship and I'm really happy that people can see that.

Oh, wow. Gorgeous, gorgeous image, and the phoenix is so appropriate for the two of them: fiery, rare, beautiful, powerful, graceful, self-destructive and always coming back for more.

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you very much! The phoenix is an important part of the piece because I really do agree that it represents Spuffy beautifully. Plus it was really fun to paint.

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you very much! <3 I'm pleased you like the idea! :)

[spikesjojo]

Gorgeous!You really catch them well. I particularly love the expression in Buffy's eyes!

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you very much! Buffy was really hard for me so I'm really happy that you like her expression!

Wow, truly gorgeous work! Very powerful! I love the fire and the phoenix, and what they represent, in this painting.

[tennyo_elf]

Thank you so very much! The fire and the phoenix were both really fun to paint, and I'm happy can see their symbolism.

I already told you when you previewed this on your LJ, but this is amazing work! I can't believe you digitally painted this. You are really a great artist :)

This is exceptionally beautiful. It reminds me of the tarot card set that Dark Horse was supposed to put out, but better.

[tennyo_elf]

Omgosh, really? Thank you so much! I thought the tarot cards rocked, I'm so tickled you think it's better! <3

[gabrielleabelle]
