history bang art master post - SPN. And not one Stick Stand by Another by tesserae_

[amberdreams]

I was lucky to nab tesserae_'s hard to describe Supernatural fic to do art for in this year's history_bigbang. It's not time travel, and it's kind of an AU mixed with non AU, so the past has a version of John and Mary, with wee Sam and Dean, while the present has the Sam and Dean we know. See? Hard to categorise! So now you'll have to read it, right?
Story link HERE on AO3! Woo hoo!

Two details from the larger pic
Mary and wee Sammy

Wee Dean


A look at the work in progress for anyone interested in such things

I drew it all in photoshop using photo references for the faces - a JDM photo shoot, a still of Mary, Dean is from a photo of one of my friend's sons on a beach somewhere while Sam is totally made up! (Which is probably why he looks like a little doll ha ha ha!). I then painted it in Sai, then back to photoshop to add textures.

And I'll wait fro someone cleverer than me to explain how I managed to cock up John's face just by colouring it. I got something very wrong there and it's gone from looking quite like him to looking like some other bloke! LOL

There is indeed a historybang - annual, multi-fandom, not overly subscribed... I discovered it last year thanks to tryfanstone. I wrote my J2 WWII AU for it and got some perfect art done for me, and I did some art for tryfanstone's Dorothy Dunnet fic.
