I see my light come shining - sketch

I was very taken with this summergen ficlet and the final scene haunted me.
Pic is spoilery (obviously!)
A scrappy sketch in GIMP with some sandstorm brushing and an overlay lighting effect using a texture by letzte-Regen.

Beautiful illustration to a beautiful, bittersweet ending!

I haven't read the fic, but WOW, that is a stunning piece of art. *__*

Thank you for the endorsement! :D And I think you would love the fic too, even though you are not supernaturally inclined at the moment...

Thanks for the rec because I loved it. Normally I don't read much Gen but this was really great and glad you recced it. <3

The end is just beautiful and crushing at the same time. But Dean's love and concern for Sam when they don't know what is wrong was just so heartwarming.

It was a beautiful fic, wasn't it? I'm happy you read it!
(Now we just have to wait for the reveals to see who wrote it...)

Lovely pic. I've bookmarked the fic to read tomorrow when I've got the day to myself!

I loved the fic - it was such a good way to kick off that community!

That art is just as hauntingly beautiful as the ending of that fic!

I am very glad you think so, it was done in a bit of a rush. I'm too impatient!

This is haunting - and judging by the pic I will grab a pack of tissues before I read it. Lovely.

I don't think it's a weepy, but it is moving.... And thanks!

A haunting ending indeed - and this is perfect for it!

Thanks so much!

I haven't read the fic yet, but the art is lovely! I love the light/color tones, and the way Dean's stance grounds him even though the whole setting is cloudy. And, of course, the flying Samhair.

Flying Samhair was the whole reason for the pic really...

Such a great companion piece to the story. I love what you did with the sky.

Thank you! GIMP is fun to play with for effects like that.

I loved the fic and I'm amazed by the picture.Beautiful and very atmospheric.

[identity profile] amber1960.livejournal.com 2013-07-14 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Aw thank you. It was so sketchy I'd wondered about posting it but I kind of liked it so...very glad you did too! And the fic was so beautifully written, wasn't it?

Having just read the fic, I can truly say, you more than did it justice.

The emptness created out of the yellow/red/black background is the most striking part of this for me.

[identity profile] amber1960.livejournal.com 2013-09-26 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much. I wanted it to feel empty... I've very happy you thought this went with the fic!

I am drowning in busy because of a new job, but I wanted you to know that I saw this when you first posted it and having been dying ever since to come tell you just how gorgeous this is!

I can't tell you how awesome it is to know that my work can inspire other people to creative heights. <3

[identity profile] amber1960.livejournal.com 2013-09-26 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
ha well I don't know about creative heights, but creative something anyway! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, because the story was beautiful.
