SPN-colourme funtimes fill - Dragon slayers

[amberdreams]

I couldn't resist quickreaver's hunky, half nekkid, swamp dragon hunters... I mean, who could?
Teaser:

And here's my colouring-in effort in LARGE!

Done for  spn_colorme.  And why not.
Edited to mention, the texture that gives that old parchment look is from a texture pack by sirius_sdz on deviantart.  I used Sai to paint the colours, mostly the airbrush which I recently discovered I like a lot.

Oh, I love that piece! Quickreaver did such an awesome job making the boys all badass dragon slayers and I love how Sam is the one hauling around the dragon and Dean looks all gloaty like, 'yeah, I totally kicked its ass' ;)

And you did such a lovely job with the coloring! I love the texture and the glistening skin and it can all really be summed up in one word - FRECKLES!

Full body freckles, no less.... *grin*

Hee, I love the way the light's hitting Sam's pecs. And Dean's stubble and his hair and his freckles. And their smiles. Lovely.

Well apart from the lighting of the pecs and the freckles, the rest is all QR! LOL

oooh, awesome! It's like an illustration from some old chronicle book, and it probably makes me even more weird than I normally am, but my favorite part is the dragon's blood spreading in the water!

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

So glad you noticed the blood... does that make us sick puppies? *Grin*

Whoa! The background and especially the highlights make this really, really good. I like! ♥

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

I should have said what I used shouldn't I? The effect is a texture by sirius_sdz on deviantart. Must edit to mention that!

And thank you!

[odysseaia.livejournal.com]

I honestly wasn't referring to crediting the texture-maker. It was more like "Hey, that works really well here!"

My pleasure :)

Commenting in both places because I really liked the coloring. Love how it looks like a well kept paper print that's just starting to show its age. And I still love the shading on the hair and skin. Great collaborative work. :)

Why thankee kindly for the double commenting!

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

I love their tan! They really have spent some time in the jungle!

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

Hee hee yea, I thought with that get up they were going to get nice and brown, even freckly Dean!

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Wow Amber this is gorgeous!

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

It's all in the lines, yanno? *wink*

XD

I bet Cris is going to love it.

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

I hope so! *grin*

Lovely stuff; fabulous picture all round - those are some seriously badass hunters and some very perky nipples :)

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

Perky nipples are essential weapons in Dean's armoury...

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

Oh yay!! I'm especially mesmerized by Sam's gleaming abs ; )

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

Thought they might appeal to you... *wink*

This looks great! I love the background texture, and that the dragon is all bruise-y colored. And the blood >:D

This is such a great lineart, and you've done some great coloring, You're really taking to Sai! I'm glad; it's such a fun program.

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

yes, thank you for introducing me to Sai! I've only used it a few times but I'm liking it a lot now.
