I have been so lucky with myspn_reversebang writers! All three who were kind enough to pick my art are the bee's knees - but de_nugis has been one of my favourite authors since I first found her fics, so I was especially looking forward to seeing what she would come up with based on my original prompt. I have to say, I was not disappointed! In fact, this exemplifies why I don't like to give too much constraining details with any of my art prompts because this is so much better, more interesting and challenging than anything I could have come up with.
This is the original prompt, with the addition of the hawk's eye, because the hawk became an integral part of the story:
I drew each original panel separately in GIMP, then pulled them all together in a kind of story-board. I wasn't worried about what order the panels should be read, I was happy for my author to decide.
When I read the draft, I had a new image in my head, so drew a new panel featuring the hawk and the juniper tree. I'm not saying too much about their significance as I don't want to spoil the story for you. Here it is large. I was really chuffed how the patterns on the feathers came out - I drew this one in pencil first, then redrew it in Photoshop. The feather markings were done with a brush by velvetcat. Then I used the walking figure from the original prompt to be reflected in the eye, and the tree from the prompt as the background (I love the recyclability of digital art!).
This is the pencil drawing.
References/resources used include the Season 9 promo of Dean looking down, a Sam dead from Season 2 screencap (one of my own), a google image search for red tailed hawks and juniper trees, and brushes by velvetcat on deviantart.
