Master List of Fic
Incomplete list, I'm gradually adding to it when I get a moment. And due to the original post getting too long, I've had to split it up! So you will find:
SPN Gen Part 1 - long fic HERE
SPN Gen Part 2 - short fic HERE
SPN Slash HERE
RPF HERE


Drabbles and other things I don't post many drabbles on here, because I've written too many! The nearly complete set can be found HERE on FF.net, but I sometimes post the odd one here, so: A trio of Season 8/9 drabbles It Burns my Heart Origin .

Master List of Arts - the masterlist is very much a work in progress right now, but while I'm constructing it, you can find some of my more polished art on deviantart. Bonus Sam and Dean as baby racoons Here

New addition - Recs!

How very unexpected and kind! Fatima_O on AO3 has made a very thoughtful and thought-provoking gift for me out of the blue - so I'm urging y'all to go and leave her some love!

It's a really cool and beautiful mixed media art of Sam and Dean, based on a few lines from a poem:

They are forgiven as they forgive all those dark wounds and deep.

Their beds are made on the Lap of Time and they lie down and sleep.

They are forgiven as they forgive all those old wounds that bleed.

They shut their eyes from their worshippers; they sleep till the world has need.

Congrats to my lovely author, Euxellis for cracking on and finishing this WIP in spite of exams! I enjoyed dabbling in the DCU for a change, and the Looper idea is a good un!

Process is unexciting:
Researching poses (used a screen cap from the Walking Dead for Tim with the shotgun, no reference used for Jason), sketching and then drawing the final scene in my Arches sketchbook to paint. No progress pics because Flickr doesn't like .heic files and I haven't had time to convert them.

It's been a while since I posted anything arty that isn't fanart, but I've recently started a new art class, similar to my old sketchbooking one, where the challenge is to try lots of different things and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

The theme of the first two weeks has been caricature, and after sticking to pencil last week, this week it was all about going straight in with the indian ink, and using bamboo pens and sticks to make sure I wasn't too precious. Wanda Gág with her giant palette was the first one I did today, and I really liked it!

This is a little bit of a cheat since I actually made this art in 2018, but as I haven't had the inspiration or time to produce something new, I thought I'd recycle this.
It's the Archangel Michael (from Supernatural), in watercolour and ink, and even though I could nit pick and find things I'm not 100% happy with, I'm actually quite proud of this one.

Time for another SPN_J2_Bigbang[profile] spn_j2_bigbang! I thought I'd have a quick look back and I've been doing this challenge since 2011 and done 16 artings for different fics, making this art for a cute J2 story by SamAndDean76 [profile] samanddean76my 17th! Without further ado....

Last weekend it was time to see the Boys again - and this time the Saturday was my birthday, so I just had to go to this one, didn't I?

When our little group of con-friends were looking at conventions this year, initially it was just going to be Nat and Chris, Darklight veterans Wendy and dizzojay, and myself. Then tickets didn't sell out, and the J2 effect started to take hold, and before you know it, Elisa and Anne had bought tickets too, and I had myself a roomie!

The venue wasn’t a hotel, and there were two halls for panels, which were supposed to mirror each other (newsflash, that didn’t exactly work out), and the schedule was exactly the same on the two days because all the tickets were day tickets – and I’m not sure that really worked either. Certainly the Saturday was a lot busier than the Sunday, which kind of worked in our favour as we’d all (apart from Elisa) bought Angel passes for the Saturday, and Demons for the Sunday which meant Sunday having fewer attendees didn’t impact us too badly in terms of queuing times.

Some things didn’t go so well – but first, the good stuff. Chris’s birthday is on 9th June and we are both hitting 64 this year, so we decided to share a group op (which amazingly included the Js!) for a joint 60s themed birthday celebration, and it went pretty much to plan! The sunglasses didn’t quite get distributed, and Jared held the inflatable banjo behind Gen’s head like a halo, but the improvisation was great fun and everyone was in such a great mood, even though it all took place in such a short few seconds, it was definitely memorable!

Lots of photos under the cut! )

Not the London Elephant and Castle but two separate trails - the elephant is going to Lichfield and is being sponsored by the cathedral, and the castle is for a trail in Swansea, and is called Fortress Freedom.

Lichfield is in Staffordshire so the ellie is called Staffie, and has a handful of Staffordshire landmarks and wildlife featured. The design is another variation on the one I originally did for Newcastle, and is now being recycled on my mum's bear too. Well I like the colours and it's an effective way of highlighting a few local buildings etc, without having to do a full scene. 😂

As usual for these trails, I'm sharing more here than I should, so depending on people not to share in public until the trails go live in July.

To give you an idea of scale, I can just about touch the tops of the crenellations on the castle but I was on tiptoes (I'm 5'1") 😆

I'd completely forgotten to post this Marvel art of Katy Chen (Chen Ruiwen) I did for the Marvellous Coloring for a Cause project.  It's intended as a download and print colouring page (or download and digitally colour!). If you click on the monochrome version you should be taken through to Flickr and be able to download a HQ version if you're so inclined.
I just added some basic colour on one version because I wanted to have this on my new phone case!

Realised I'd forgotten to cross post here! So this is a bit of a catch up.

So fun to take part in a new event aimed at bringing all sides of fandom together, the SPN ProShip Big Bang. Hopefully it will become a fixture in the SPN calendar. Many thinks to the mods for setting it up and making it such a welcoming place.
My author wrote an interesting AU spin on the Winchesters and their destiny, make sure to check it out HERE on AO3!

I started off thinking I'd do something in watercolour, but I kept working on my initial sketch of Cas and Dean trying out some new coloured pencils and ended up liking the effects I was getting, so ran with the coloured pencils for the Crowley side too.

The timing of the bang wasn't the best for me, as this time of year is when loads of design deadlines fall for the sculpture trails, so I only did the two drawings in the end, mashing them together to form a single image.

Descended_from_Hufflepuffs was a pleasure to work with, and I enjoyed their take on the Winchester brother's unbreakable bond!

Posting solo because my author had to withdraw from the bang for personal reasons, but hopefully the art will still make sense!
In summary - Clint and Natasha are sent into the past on a mission, and live for some time in 1950s New York.

I've done two illustrations.

First is Natasha and Clint in a crowded subway carriage.
*2023 Natasha & Clint time travel metro
I took the brilliant composition from a 1950s/60s advert illustration by Mac Conner, and reinterpreted it in collaged rough gouached paper and ink.

The second picture is also gouache and shows Natasha walking alone on 44th Street, using a period photo as a reference.
*44th Street final painting

The fic will be posted later, serialised in chapters, so I'll add a link when I have it, for those interested.

Yoann has been the best and most patient author, and the story is lovely (even if I ended up sniffling over that damn Barn yet again).

Song: No Plan
Title: Marvel at Flowers You'll have Made
Author: Sammichgirl
Artist: [personal profile] amberdreams
Beta Reader: [personal profile] jerzcaligrl
Summary: Canon divergent Supernatural where Dean still kills monsters. What's different are the humans he kills, the reason he does it, and how Sam begins to handle the clean up afterwards. Dean is judge, jury and executioner to seeming innocents and Sam finds a way to keep them safe and off the radar with a mixture of law knowledge, an extensive fascination with botany and a bit of learned magic. Their devotion grows deeper and more feral until it's all consuming and burns bright hot, defying anything in their path to happiness.
