amberdreamsI feel like I'm art-spamming with art posts two days in a row! LOL
Here's the second of my posts for
spn_gen_bigbang. 
ramblin_rosie's story The Dark Wind is from an intriguing AU where John Winchester is a Navajo who married Mary Campbell, so Sam and Dean are half Navajo. Their history is largely the same, but with some fascinating differences due to their different background and the support network that comes with it.
So for me the challenge was to try and capture some of that Native American heritage, while keeping them recognisably Sam and Dean. Hopefully I've managed that! There aren't really any plot spoilers in the art; Mary's journal expresses thoughts about events we all know from canon.
Warning! Image intensive post (obviously!). I've scaled down the extra large images but you can view them real size by clicking on them and viewing them in Photobucket.
First the promo banner with an extract from my drawing.
Then the main picture showing two scenes from the story:

I did some story dividers based on Mary's journal and a Navajo rug. This is all of them in one pic.
And here's an attempt at digitally Navajo-ing Dean!
If you are interested, I took some close up photos of my base drawing - I used graphite pencil and coloured pencils (not tried those for years!).
I wasn't happy with Dean's pixie body, but I kind of like Sam. A lot! LOL
And here's the boys riding - I don't like either of the riders but I am pleased with how the horses Aggie and Ozzy turned out.
And that's all folks! Hope you like 'em, and I hope you will go and read the story too, and giveramblin_rosie some love!
Master post for the fic is here. There is also a PDF download with art available via the master post.
Art sources - mainly Google!
