I got to do art for an enticing concept - Sam and Dean find a case that requires them to dress in Regency costumes. Obviously I couldn't resist, and you won't be able to resist septembers_coda's fun filled fic either. Done for spn_bigpretzel's Spring Fic Exchange.

So to the main art.This is a scene from the fic, but other than the presence of an OFC, there is nothing spoilery about it.
I did two versions, but both me and septembers_coda ended up agreeing the one without the interior wall looked better, so that is the main one. I've posted the other version for interest.

The reject! LOL

I only used reference pics for the costumes, which is why Sam has come out a bit dorky.
Being too lazy and incompetent in Photoshop to paint the lovely landscape background, I did a google search and found the perfect picture. This is actually Pynes, a fine William and Mary house in Devon, just outside Exeter. It was Jane Austen’s model for Barton Park, and she probably visited it when she was holidaying in Devon with her family  either in 1801 and 1802. This picture appeared in Ackermann’s Repository of the Arts etc.,  in February 1825.

Aw shucks. It was a pleasure to work on something light and fluffy with men in tight pants. I mean, it was a fic made of win, right?

And now has ART MADE OF WIN! :-) As soon as I saw phebemarie's prompt, I knew I had to write for it. <3

ETA: I forgot to mention what a wonderful color green is for Dean, sigh... :-)

Regency costumes! Finally! I love the detail in this, Dean's eyes and the colors, and mmm, the tightness :D Lady sure does have a nice gown too.

Tightness was an important thing to get right... *nods*. Dean did end up a tad rugged but I'm glad you liked his eyes (and the lady's dress).

Your comment was so tasteful and delicate compared to mine.

Fun was the aim, so yay! Tightness of the pants was also very important as we don't have a wet shirt/lake scene.

This is lovely! I really like the way it suggests book cover art, very suitable for the theme.

(And I know bums are your specialty, but the, er, front bulges are also very nice. /shows self tastefully out)

Drive by comment before I go back to work....there is a reason someone is fanning herself in that lovely art of yours. Captain Tightpants has nothing on our boys.

Awesome. I think I need a fan myself.

I admit, everytime I look at the pic I'm thinking 'Captain Tightpants'!!

Well, to be fair, sometimes Sam is a bit dorky... XD Lovely work!

Fabulous art m'dear. The boys do fill those breeches rather well, don't they ;-)

Just lovely! This matches the fic so well, I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying seeing the boys in costumes of this era!!!

Very beautifully done and an extra bonus for us seeing the boys in Regency-style outfits. Sexy!
