Art for spn_bigpretzel Crowley's Christmas

[amberdreams]

This got posted a bit late for Christmas really but never mind! I did art for a fic by (to be revealed when 'tis time for the big reveals)

TITLE: Deck the Halls (of the Bunker)
SUMMARY: Sam's decision to deck the halls of the bunker, with decorations he'd found in a sub-basement storeroom, leads to some unusual and unlikely consequences - not least Dean's sudden agreement to host Crowley's reception of weird and decidedly not wonderful guests.
RECIPIENT: patriciatepes
CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Implied Sam/Gabriel, Dean/Crowley, Dean/Cas
GENRE: Humour / Crack!Fic
RATING: PG-13
SPOILERS/WARNINGS: Gratuitous use of mythic characters for comedic effect
LENGTH: ~6900 words

Version (large!) without the writing

An early sketched out version

Basically I used a screenshot of the bunker, then various reference photos for the show characters; some male models for wedding suits for the boys clothing; no references for any of the women, and various googled images of the Monkey King for my version of said Monkey King. Messed about with the background and the lighting and there you go, done.

How very f*cking gorgeous! Especially loving the early sketched out version for some reason, but that's me, I love sneaky peeks! Beautiful work honey :)

I love seeing sketches and in-progress snippets too, that's partly why I share mine. Thanks my dear!

Cas on the treetop...hee...I love the Monkey King. Whatever is going on, the lights are bright and cheerful. Awesome.

Well, Sammy did his best to make the Bunker look festive, so I'm sure he'll appreciate your comment!

heheh - LOVE IT! Especially the look on Dean's face! :-)

Poor Dean...still I expect he'll cheer up once he gets some mulled wine down him.

Aw, Sam and Dean look so unhappy, but I wouldn't be happy either if Crowley was running my Christmas party :P Nice job with the background; the characters pop so well.

Crowley's ideas of Christmas cheer might not totally match our boys'... Hee!

Dude, I love this art! So much cool detail, and such great likenesses :D Crowley's smirk is awesome, and I love Sam & Dean's disgruntled faces.

Thank you! You just know that mixing Crowley and Winchesters for Christmas is going to be a weird sort of cocktail... :D

love the colours <3 and the expression on the boys faces. Crowley looks like he's up to no good.
