That is one of my favorite blends you've ever done, Rose. It's beautiful. I love how rich the color is.

I have mine done; I'm trying to finish them all up before school gets too rough, so I can just post them when necessary.

^Oh my word, that picture of Aragorn is amazing. I love how one side of his face is shadowed while the other one is in light...I'm such a sucker for that effect. And the lyrics. I need to go listen to some of these songs, lol...

Thanks, Estel! Yes, I like the half-light, half-dark effect too, though I'm normally not that good at pulling it off... by the way, did I ever tell you that I'm in love with your banner? It is so pretty. I can never get that kind of color scheme to work.

Oh, I re-did my volley for Never Be the Same because I never liked the last one and had a sudden inspiration due to a accidental combination of textures. Can you tell I've spent many, many hours editing these past few days?

Awww, thanks, Tariel! I'm glad you like it so much.

Wow....that remake is stunning!!! I love how the font is the border, and those curvy lines of font are . I agree with Esteleth; the shadows on Aragorn's face are awesome!

I just noticed that I use that texture for just about everything! I'm pretty happy with this one.

Beautiful volleys guys!

So I had a total A/E moment the other day and thought of you (even though I'm not an A/E person). Have you heard the song by 33 Miles, One Life to Love? The lyrics totally made me think of this.

"One life to find out one thing that you don't want to miss.."

Ooh, prettyful volley, Rose! What texture is that? It's lovely, and it works so well with the pictures!

Thanks, Nurr! I haven't heard that song - I will most definitely have to look it up now.


I'm not terribly thrilled with this volley, but it will do.

Thanks, Tariel! Aramel showed me that texture and I completely fell in love with it. Here it is: http://i44.tinypic.com/fmq3hl.jpg. I used a different one for the little squares.

Nurr, that line is so very A/E! To celebrate your A/E moment, here's a banner I just made from that line.

Thanks, Ara! It seems we affecting the forum with our rabid A/E-ness.

I think I like this one. Yup, I do. On a random note, I just found another one of Red's pre-released songs, Shadows, and am completely obsessed!

Ooh, lovely volley! I love the blue-ish tint; blue is my favorite color. And that texture is beautiful. *steals*

And YES. I found Shadows like a week and a half ago and have listened to it hundreds of times since then. I absolutely love it. I can't wait to get a high-quality version...

OK. To get to the point, here's my volley. For whatever reason, even though I don't like yellow, a lot of my graphics end up being yellow/orange...

Loving the most recent volleys. ^^

Sis, I have to copy AF's sentiments about the blue tint--it really adds to the emotion of the blend.
AF, the font is amazing! Perfect choice of lyrics.

And, six days later, Silver finally decides to make a volley! I'm really sorry for the wait.

Aww, thanks sis and Tariel! I seem to be into making blue things right now, and my latest volley will copy that sentiment.

I LOVE the font on your Blind volley! haha I always end up making pink graphics, even though I'm not fond of that color.

This is practically identical to my last one, but I like it anyways.

It's OK; normally you're waiting for me, so maybe it'll be more even now.

Funny, we chose like the same lyrics to put on our volleys... you do blue so much better that I do. *is slightly envious*

OK, so I made this I think two weeks ago, and fell in love with the song all over again as it really applies to certain situations in my life right now. So I couldn't resist making my favorite kind of graphic: a wallpaper. I hope that's OK.

haha Well, I was in the mood for A/E, so I decided to be punctual this time.

Great minds think alike! That line just struck me as completely beautiful and heartbreaking, so I had to use it. I was thinking of using the Shadow and a Thought scene, but I had just use it, and I had a feeling you'd use that scene, too.

Oh, goodness....it's stunning! I love the complexity of it; all of the textures, and the font border and...wow. Wallpapers are definitely ok. I don't like to make them because it's so hard to find pictures that work for that size, but you make them work beautifully.

I am very pleased with this one. In fact, I love it, and that's pretty rare.

Ooh, so pretty! The pictures fit together so well, and the text just sets them off - the whole thing just flows.

Here's mine:

Eeek! Ummm....I'm stealing that one, too. The style looks strangely familiar. Could it be that it looks like my style? That's something that I wish I had made! I adore that picture of Aragorn...and....I can't even describe it. Anyways, it's perfect! [/end rant]

So, this epic battle has come to an end. But...there's always that idea for the manipulations to consider! We might just return with our rabid A/E-ness soon to a battle near you.

I don't think this is my best, but it turned out better than I had expected. I went crazy with my new fonts.

So glad you liked it! Actually, when making it I was kind of thinking "hmmm, what if I tried to do something along the lines of what Rose does..." Feel free to steal it! I'd be honored!

And... that's really weird that you chose that picture on your Missing volley. Look at mine. The text turned out beautifully on your volley.

Anyways... I am definitely sorry to see this finish, and we will have to consider doing something similar sometime soon.
