Hurt Sam and Hurt Dean for Harrigan - art

[amberdreams]

This was an auction fill -one of the prompts harrigan gave me was Sam with a sling (after seeing all the pics of Jared and his Master Chau injury). I've added some bonus hurt!Dean because I had to - our boys have been in the wars, methinks.
I've done a few changes to the first draft that I hope fulfil the criteria - Sam is supposed to be sitting down while Dean sorts out his sling, and maybe stitches him up too, though it looks like Dean might need a bit of attention as well.

I really hope you like this version, harrigan my dear... and that you can now envisage a nice back story to go with it!

Well, they do look like they got the crap beaten out of them xD
Poor boys.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Yup! At least they have each other and can fix themselves up... I'm kinder than the show in that respect! LOL

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. Nice coloring and I love Sam's expression, also... happy trail.. makes me happy.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I hope Harrigan is equally happy with it..

[anniespinkhouse.livejournal.com]

Yum. Thank you Harrigan for giving the prompt.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Heh heh I was thanking her too... :D

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! *stares lovingly at Sam's nose*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Sam's tippy-uppy nose is adorable. Thanks!

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

You bet I'm happy with it! (You make beautiful bruises, by the way.) I love every detail, from Sam's plaid shirt to Dean's busted lip and everything in between. And the wallpaper!!

As for the rest--the specifics of the very best parts-- well, you've knocked me speechless about those. THANK YOU!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Phew! I was a bit nervous because I didn't end up adding the background you asked for and Sam's still in a state of déshabillé... For reasons, obviously

[embroiderama]

Oh wow, that's gorgeous! And so hurty!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hurty was what was ordered! :D
Thank you!

Oh boys...Oh quickreaver...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

:D

Sam's lips are pretty and those bruises are life like! It looks like Dean's a little guilty and Sam's a little pissed, though?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

My first attempt at painting bruises so thank you! Mmm I think Dean kind of always feels guilty if Sam gets hurt, and maybe Sam is always a little pissed at life!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh this is stunning honey! WOW! There's so much story feeling in this work. The expressions on their faces, the state of undress (and yay Sam's happy trail...), their battered and bruised bodies. They've been through the wars alright (and now I need that backstory!). The fact that there's comfort and well has hurt in here is indeed more than the show gives us. Thanks harrigan for winning Amber!! Wonderful work!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks my dear! Maybe harrigan will be inspired to write something....

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

Awww poor boys - but this is gorgeous :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Heh we are sick puppies... Thank you!

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous art, and I love the coloring.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I always feel the boys suit greens and browns...

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Oh, Amb...NIIIICE!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cheers me dear. This is one every time I come back to it I see things wrong with it! LOL

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!

There is such a familiarity to this, you've captured everything that draws us sick puppies to every single hurt and bruise...hehe Magical!

Thanks for sharing.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I wanted it to feel intimate - so thank you!

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! :-) I really, REALLY like it!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad it hits some of your buttons...

[freya922.livejournal.com]

Sam's face is particularly beautiful in this...and I love that you got the tattoo in there. *grin*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks - I always forget about the tattoo until the last minute!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oooh very pretty! They shouldn't be pretty when they're hurt, but they really are!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I know, we are perverts! LOL!

[kalliel]

This is intense and beautiful! Love Sam's expression here--he seems both distracted (from the pain, and likely meditatively so) and determined. AND THE WALLPAPER. XD SO SPN. And Sam's plaid!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I found that wallpaper pattern ages ago and saved it because it was indeed so SPN. :D

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful and I adore all the details; the tattoo, the plaid shirt, the wallpaper and Dean's freckles and busted lip!

Those bruise are painfully perfect! :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Dean isn't Dean without freckles... Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[sillie]

Ooh, very nice! I'm in awe of the way you did the bruises. I can never get them to look right. Great job!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Gosh thanks - this was the first time I've tried bruises - I just used a fuzzy brush on a very low opacity setting. If I was using tradtional media, I think I'd try very soft watercolour washes.

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

That IS gorgeous! I love all your coloration, and especially Sam's hair!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Sam's hair is fun to draw. Thank you!

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Oh my freaking beautiful treasure trailness.

Swoons.

:)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha I couldn't resist the treasure trail or topless Sam... I had to give Dean a shirt as harrigan wanted this to be Gen though. ;-)

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

So beautiful!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

Lovely coloring, especially on the bruises.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks my dear, I was pleased how the bruises came out!

[justmep2.livejournal.com]

Poor Boys. This is beautiful and I love the coloring and the details, especially all those bruises. And couldn't not think about Jared's sling with Sam's arm hurt like that, ha.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Harrigan had been 'inspired' by Jared's sling - well it was a gift to all us H/C girls, wasn't it! LOL
Glad you like this, m'dear.
