Attention Bloggers, Forum makers, and all Background seekers!
God, I really, really, really hate to do this, but apparently I'm moderately popular enough to demand it. 
If you want to use any of the images in the Xena Wing as a background or anywhere else on your webpage, you may, BUT: 
Do not link to the image.  Save it on your own server.  You must give me credit, and refer back to this site.  DO NOT put your own copyright on it. 
If these requests are not honored, you may abruptly find that your background has turned into a profanity-laden rant against people who steal others' work. 

Sorry, folks, but I'm getting tired of having to check my recent visitors list all the time.  Bandwidth costs money, ok?

Touched By an Angel Betrayal Realization Rapunzel
Just what it says. A cap of a true believer being touched by a messenger of her god.  How I envision it must have felt.  "Enlightenment" theme night. As soon as I saw the shield cap, I knew what I wanted to do with it, but it was months before it all came together. A momentous occasion.  Ares has just given up his godhood. The truth is starting to hit him. I'm very proud of this one, too. Another one I wanted to do for a long time. It's my first real mega Xena-Gab relationship wall, and the lyrics are, uh, Racy. From the Dave Matthews Band song of the same name.
Alti Heartbreaker Well Done Heart of Darkness I
The bad gal that keeps showing up in all of Xena's karmic cycles. The original bad penny. And REALLY bad. Title says it all. Another one that I am extremely proud of. If I was gonna send a wall I'd made to either of the female stars, I think it might be this one.  I would be happy to have them see the others, but if I had to pick one to put in the mail, this would be it.  Hmmmm, maybe I'll do that. This is the first of the set - three exceptionally good shots from this episode, that I had to use.  (Thanks, Spencer!)
Heart of Darkness II Heart of Darkness III Bereft Ephiny I
Second shot.  The most photo-like of the series. I love this one.  It's in my personal rotation for wallpaper - which is quite rare. For "Expressions" night.  Such a heart-wrenching look. I was celebrating bleaching my hair - when it's properly conditioned, blonde, and in a good mood, my hair looks a lot like this.
Country Boy Seduction Triptych Sexy
This was gonna be for "Expressions" theme night, but I didn't have it ready in time, and wasn't sure the phrase qualified. For "Seduction" night, of course.  The question is, who's seducing who? Doesn't really conform to the classical definition, but these are three shots from the final episode, at the beginning and end of their adventure in Japan. Self-explanatory.  Playing with blending modes and the drawing technique.
Halloween Stuff II Celestial Empress Post Modern Livia
I really like this one - you have to look at it for a while to resolve it into the three skeletons that it's made of. This one is an odd size, because I just couldn't bear to crop or resize it. More of that awesome drawn technique, this one resulting in an image that looks (to me) like it's from an old silent movie. This is a "fake".  I took a picture by the astoundingly good artist Luis Royo, and cut in a picture of a Xena character.
