Here it is, my final spn_reversebang for this year! It's been a bit of a struggle to get this one done - both for me and for my lovely author souslelys. It was fated from the start I think. I threw the original prompt piece together at the last minute because I suddenly had this idea about an invisible man type story, and what fun that could be. Then poor souslelys had work and studying and exams, so it's all been a rush to finish. So I've only just done one more piece to go with the story, which I got done today...
But we got there in the end! It's all good...right? :D
Now you need to go and read the story as one of the pics is a bit spoilery!

This was the original prompt - photo manip
The Invisible Men amber1960 Either small
and this is a scene where they realise both of them are turning invisible...
sousleys turning
And a divider
Invisible Men RBB 3 divider
I wish I'd had a bit more time to do some more art...but it was not to be.

The process bits:
The orignal prompt was a crop of a red carpet pic of the boys from a couple of years ago, with sunglasses added so I could take their heads out and leave something to idicate they were still there! The back ground is a photo I took of a Napoleonic fort on the coast near where I live, and has no relevance to the story at all - I just liked it.
The second pic has a photo as the background from a google search for interior shots, which I then squiggled up in PS. I added a PS drawing of the boys on either a couch or a bed, up to you which. The idea is that they are in the throes of passion when Jensen catches a glimpse of them in a mirror and realises they are fading out... I coloured them in PaintTool Sai. There are a surprising number of layers there considering the boys aren't wearing any...!

Awesome concept and manip. The boys look perfectly concerned with their new predicament! :P I like how you show the transparency on one side in contrast to the rest of their bodies that's still solid.

Thanks! I wanted to keep enough of them to make it interesting... :D

Ooh. Interesting concept. And gorgeous work. I love the one where they're just starting to fade out. I love the way you've created that semi-transparent look. Clever.
And I shall now be looking out for the story (to add to my huge 'to read' pile!) :)

Oh the to-read pile problem - I actually feel I'm drowning in fic at the moment! I kid you not. I currently have OMG TWENTY SEVEN tabs open in my browser on fics I've either started reading or kept open because I want to read them. Plus I recently downloaded five new ones onto my kindle to read (I'm partway through one of Indiachicks on there at the moment), and I have 4 PDFs open and on the go.

Drowning...

Oh and thanks for the lovely comment about the art LOL

Comforting to hear I'm not the only one! But I suppose it's a good problem to have. Better that than nothing to read! :)

Beautiful! I loved how you captured the transparency as the boys turn invisible, it's so effective, and their expressions are perfect.

A wonderful premise, I'm looking forward to the fic. :)

Thank you! It was something I had in my head I wasn't sure would work so it's good to know it's effective!

That's too bad that you didn't get more time to work on it, but there's certainly nothing to be sorry about here. You did a lovely job with the manips, it's a great concept and there's nekkid Dean with freckles! How could there be any wrong there?

Lots of freckles, and blushing, that's essential, right? Thanks!

Great banner! I really like the bleak colouring and the background (how cool that you used your own photo!) Love the outlined lettering, it feels very fitting for the concept. Their expressions in the additional scene are priceless, particularly Jared's wtf face;) Nice transparent effect! Unf for that hand on Jensen's neck.

Thank you! It's nice you noticed the font too, that was what I thought when I found it! :D

These are freaking awesome. Love them all, but especially the one where they realize they both turn invisible, naked boys AND SO MUCH BLUSHING LOL :D Love it all!!!

All of this is great, but I love that cover art especially. What a clever idea.

>u< Have I mentioned how amazing these are yet?

It's amazing that you used photos for the backgrounds, you did really well in incorporating them into the art - I never would have noticed they were photos if you hadn't pointed them out. I looove that you can see through the boys and that you can see Jensen's slight flush AND HIS FRECKLES ;u; HNGNNG THEY LOOK SO GOOD

And yeah - that divider is one of my favourite things ever (it screams of all the explicit things the boys could be up to hehe)

<3!!!

I'm so glad you liked the extra bits as well as the original idea piece! You did fun things with the prompt!

Gorgeous manips! Loved how you made the boys just kind of transparent in one. Oh, and the gorgeous drawing! Impressed.

Thanks for prompting!
