spnartistswap - artings II

[amberdreams]

The theme this week was DEMON POSSESSION / ANGEL ENVESSELMENT
You can find all the magnificent artings HERE and HERE at  spnartistswap,
I was given this cool Samifer sketch by Nadia to work from.


I toyed with the idea of doing Samifer in the process of dying, impaled on Michael's sword, but then decided to go with something simpler.
Teaser:



Samifer was drawn and coloured in GIMP, using that photo of Jared in a wifebeater (gulp) as a reference for his face and a still from The End for the suit.

This is the sketch I submitted this time - a Dean as Michael, Sam as Lucifer idea.  You can see what lylithj2 did with it here - she totally turned it around and made it moving and beautiful.

Which I subsequently expanded, and combined with my submission for last week's road trip theme, for which I did the Impala in the rain.

Details



I know it doesn't look much like Jensen/Dean, that's because I didn't use a reference. I copied Jensen's pose (nothing else) from a fantasy art pic I found on a google search www.roses-fantasy.de
This is pencil on paper, photographed and fiddled with in GIMP.  The highlighting was added in GIMP.

First off, I love your sketch like nobody's business. Sad and gorgeous, and I love the shading, the light flare on Dean's sword, the bloody feather, and poor wingless Sam.

But the finished piece of Samifer and the rose, OMG, that is purely beautiful. His expression, the lighting on his features, the rose, the wings/light flaring out behind him . . . WOW. This is something ELSE.

You done good. Seriously. <333

Really? Thank you! I thought the Samifer one might be a bit boring, especially after I saw some of the other works this week! So your comment's made my day! :D

Thank you! Samifer was very disturbingly pretty... :D

Oh my gosh!!! I really like what you did with my sketch! It's so... striking! The brightness of the lighting from behind and the rose and the definition in the background ahhhhh wow it's so nifty

Phew, I'm very glad you liked what I did. I really loved your sketch but my style is not very dynamic so I thought my interpretation might be a bit boring. So nifty is very good. :D

I definitely like it. :) I think it was a very interesting interpretation for sure-- Like I never woulda thought of something like that. Hahaha.
