Manips for my new fic 'Buffy the Hunter'

[liliaeth]

These are two pics I made to illustrate my new fic, a Buffy/Spider-Man crossover called 'Buffy the Hunter', I'm not so happy yet with the Dawn/Peter pic. (still planning to make a better one for the couple), but I do like how the Xander with cornrows one came out.



  



  

The basic idea here was to see how Xander would look with this kind of haircut and wether it'd be a decent look for him to be described with in the fic itself. Mostly I wanted him in this kind of haircut because it shows some of the impact that his time in Africa has had on him. Showing some of the changes he's gone through. (and I wanted to have something African about him, without making him look foolish or stupid a la Andrew's attempt at looking British in Damage)

Love both manips, Dawn looks so beautiful in the first manip (I've become a big Dawn fan lately, she's probably my fave female character at the moment. She's just amazing in S7.)

The second manip is just fantastic, Xander looks very good, I do think he'll be more tanned if he's in meddle or lower side of Africa. The north side, the Arabic countries, don't get tanned. Are you going to write an Africa!Xander story? If yes, then YAY!

Thanks, the basic idea is that both pics are for the same fic, the Buffy/Spider-Man crossover. Since the Xander in it just came back from Africa, I felt he needed to have some African influence on him.

Since Buffy in this fic is taking the Spidey role of Kraven the Hunter for a bit, I thought it would be nice to have Xander as her second, with some experience left over from what he learned in Africa.

Have you started writing it? I'd really love to read it. :)

I just posted the second chapter on Twisting the Hellmouth. There's a bit of Xander there already, there should be more when Buffy starts to seriously hunt Spidey.

Xander looks pretty cool like that.

Thanks, I thought it was a good look for him.*g*
