5 cool fanvids that definitely don't suck.

It's hard to find good Buffy vids on youtube, because of the lack of clip quality, mediocre vidders and poor descriptions. And when you've finally found a few good ones and made an awesome playlist, you discover that they've been taken down.


However, I looked around for a bit and I found 5 vids that definitely don't suck;



Bleed it out


Easier to run


Breaking the habit


Down with the sickness


Headstrong

Velvet Chain's Buffy song.

I just found a song about Buffy that was made by Velvet Chain.

Here's a fanvid made by kengelina with the song and
here's the lyrics.

MY THOUGHTS A laugh: How Buffy would react to Connor's existence.

On slayalive.com we had a discussion about if Buffy knew about Connor and how she would react to his existence.

I thought she didn't and this is the way she would react if Angel told her:


Well, first of, I think she would ask

"Sex? You had sex!?! We couldn't be together because of the curse, and my so called future?

It's okay, it's okay, I guess you've done research and figured out that you can have sex without turning evil, you knew that for a fact.... No? You were depressed and didn't care? YOU COULD HAVE ENDED THE WORLD FOR ALL YOU KNEW?

Oh, he's named after your dad. That's so sweet, I've never heard you talk about your parents.

So, who's the mother?

DARLA? And you let her live, after the sex, to kill thousand of knew lives? Oh yeah, I get if you'd done that Connor wouldn't be alive, but you didn't know that did you, when you sent her out of town saying 'If you come back I'll kill you'" What kind of many-pandy-slandy is that?

Oh I let you live that time in the mall??? I was 17, had just lost my virginity and stilled loved you. You had already killed Darla once!! You're 200 years old, get over yourself!

Oh a picture! He's cute."

That might be a tiny bit what Buffy would say, but mostly, that was me.


It gave some users at slayalive a laugh and I hope it did for you too.

After the fall cover-prints from Stephen Mooney?

As a follow up on my former post, I have terrific news.

In a e-mail Mooney mentioned that he might be interested in "doing a limited run of nice glossy prints of the cover artwork and selling them for like 10 bucks a pop if there was any interest. Both in the original black and white inked state and also the colored versions."

I e-mailed back that I was very interested in buying prints but figured that he might need some encouragement from fans.

So tell me in a comment below, do you;

A. Absolutely want to buy a print

or

B. maybe want to buy a print

or

C. Want to buy lots of prints.

Tell people about this(Whedonesque?) and/or make them write to Mooney here
http://moondog-themoonblog.blogspot.com/ or in this thread.

It would be amazing if he could do this and maybe other artists would follow too.

Buy original art

Any of you interested in buying unic art that has been used in the comics? A.K.A. Original art.

Artist sometimes sell covers and interior art from the comics they've drawn. A lot can be found on ebay, but sometimes you can ask the artists themselves (if they have blogs or web-sites) if they have any art to sell. The later is probably the best way to go, since I have hardly found any Buffy or Angel art on ebay.

For example; I found Joe Corroney's(Spike vs Dracula) site
HERE where he sells art, and after contacting Stephen Mooney HERE I found out that he sells his original art as well. I asked about a few covers I'm interested in.


Here's the price for;

Angel Auld Lang Syne issue 3 : 300$ LINK

Angel After the Fall issue 4 : 400$
LINK LINK

Angel After the Fall issue 7: 500 $
LINK LINK

(I really want the Spike one from After the Fall, but I don't have the money.)


Now, about ebay. Unless the seller writes "original art" in the title, it's a bit tricky to find them. I try to search for the artists names as well, but since I'm interested in ANY artists work on Buffy this becoms a pain since many artists have worked on Buffy and Angel, so I just search for Buffy in the comics section on ebay and look for the priciest stuff, to see if there's any art for sale, because the art is often a bit expensive.

However, it's possible to find bargains. Happy hunting!


PS. If anyone reading this post has any Buffy/Angel art to sell, leave a comment. I might be interested, or anyone else who reads this post.


EDIT- Apparently, there's a subsection on ebay named original art(within the comics section). I should have checked that. That would be a good place to start looking(hopefully everyone will sell their Buffy art there, and not forget to if there's a original art section).

Pia Guerra Buffy Comic Art

I'm back. I couldn't stay away :)

Over at slayalive.com,
vipertm showed us some of Pia Guerra's (Y: The Last Man) Buffy & Angel try-out art for the comics.

Gallery

I think they're very good. Hopefully she will get hired by IDW or Darkhorse soon so she can do some Buffy/Angel comics for us.
