Sanguis Sanctis - spn_genBB art post

[amberdreams]

Sorry about the post spamming! Here's my spn_gen_bigbang art post for agelade's latest episode in her alternate Season 9 in lustraverse. Fic Masterpost can be found HERE, go read!
It's a cool project I hadn't been aware of before picking her summary in the spngenbb, and I fully intend to catch up on the story so far!
In the meantime, this is Episode 7 (I think), and it can be read as a stand-alone.
Banner

Then the Season 9 title card (hopefully not a headache inducer but yup, another animated gif!). Once I realised this whole project was about alternate episodes, I couldn't resist trying my own version of an SPN title card...

And I did two episode cards, as this episode ended up a two-parter
Part 1 - Dean in the Bunker's gym (it must have one, right?)

Part 2

This is more a complicated scene and reflects Sam's state of mind. The images will make sense when you read the fic!

The reference I used for the Dean picture was a screen cap from Captain America's punchbag scene. I really liked the angle and was pleased with how it turned out (apart from Dean's face, I couldn't quite get that right). In the Sam pic, I found a black & white silhouette of people which is supposed to be for corporate stuff, I think, the skeleton is my adaptation of a stock image by markopolio on deviantart, the reference for the clockwork mice was a clockwork rat by jokebaer on deviantart, the ref used for Sam's face was this convention photo by Wolfpup2000.

Ooh, that mouse is spooky, and I love how it's perched on Sam's throat. Dean with the punching bag is intense.

Hee hee spooky mice! I really liked how Dean's one turned out so yay!!

So gorgeous. <33 I love the animation of the title banner, and all of the really neat angles/perspcectives you took on (and pulled off brilliantly!) in these pieces. I'm especially fond of the way you've done the cover image for Part 2--so many intriguing elements, and it certainly tells a story in itself!!! :D

there was a lot going on inside Sam's head... Now I have to read it all myself to see what it was all about!

Awesome! I'm dying to figure out how to animate banners. When I get a minute to breathe, that's gonna be my next project. :D

I've been meaning to dig into Lustra'verse; now, I'm just gonna HAVE to. Good stuff, Amb!

This is the site I found - it's free, but limited to 20 screen shots. Of course, I've no idea what I'm doing but it's fun. http://makeagif.com/

And thanks!

I love every one of them, especially the part 2!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks me dear!

Very nice!

I like your idea for the title card.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Considering I have no idea what I'm doing making gifs, I think it turned out reasonable...

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

What an awesome animation!!
The detail on the his and wind-up mice are phenomenal!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm usually a bit too lazy for much detail so this is probably the most happening in a pic you are ever likely to get from me!

Mmm, I love the perspective in the Dean piece. Also how the skeleton seems to be leaping to attack in the Sam piece. But . . .

THOSE MECHANICAL MICE ARE NIGHTMARE FUEL. O_O
*shivers*

Funny, I thought the mechanical mice were quite cute! LOL

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

oops, replying as the right person now - and I meant to say, thank you!

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

That's wonderfully creepy. And I kind of love that you got Sam horror out of a dorky Jared reference image. The mouse is particularly brilliant.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh hello you! Well I suppose if dorky Jared can give us Sam horror, it's only reasonable that we can transform him too! :D

The animated gif is really well done - a perfect SPN title card. I do really like the angle of the Dean illustration (and the freckles!) and the Sam illustration is just super cool. It's so deliciously dream-like.

Thanks me dear!
