Oh Cole looks so good!!!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ya think? That's great, thanks!

Oh my god, I love this. a) what a fantastic idea and b) what great execution. I'm loving Linda and Dean and Sam are giving me feelings. Also Abaddon's pose is awesome. Can't wait to see the final piece.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! This is the first time I've tried Abaddon and I think Alaina is just fecking stunning.

[stripytights.livejournal.com]

She really is! You've got that confidence/arrogance about her dead on. Love it.

Wow, what a fantastic panorama. Dean and John really look so much like father and son actually and Rowena's expression is spot on. Great stuff!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks, I'm so happy you think Dean and John look related here! And that you liked Rowena - she has a very distinctive face.

[mangacat201.livejournal.com]

She does... I mean, after that gloriously awesome entrance, I haven't been enamoured with what they've done with Rowena on the show lately (basically I think the slowburn of her character arc is too slow and they've taken the momentum out of her menace) but I absolutely LOVE the style of Ruth's artistic expression, I think her screen presence is just something that draws you in, and once they let her talk a smidge less unafraid of the inability of American views to understand anything except 'Da English' without subtitles, it became much more natural and charismatic. I just wish they'd made her a much more portent and credible threat towards the Winchesters instead of sticking her in the Crowley B-Plot to languish her delicious evil street cred away.
Ah well, sorry for going of on a tangent with that. Apparently I have feelings.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

There isn't much about Crowley's storyline so far this season that has grabbed me, and what they have done with Rowena is just part of that...

[mangacat201.livejournal.com]

Indeed, I feel like they've only used him as idle filler to give J2 time off, when he and his should be driving the evil out. I do realize that they can't make him too much of a threat without siccing the Winchesters on him for real, but seriously, the monkey court politics lessons bore me to tears sometimes and that's a disservice to his character and Crowley's exemplary record as not-the-bad-guy. I hope it picks up momentum for the rest of the season.

Didn't get a chance to comment earlier, but woah how I love this: the concept, the style, the bold choice of colours, this is very fucking awesome. I'm keeping my eye on this as you share the progress. <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! Fucking awesome, eh? You've made me smile very hard. :D

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

It's great to see this developing! I'm looking forward to seeing the final piece.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cheers me dear!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, Amb! What a great idea!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm going to get it printed on vinyl by Vistaprint - it's cheaper than a posh photo print and more durable for lugging around in a suitcase :D

[sleepypercy.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! I love these so much! Forgive my being out of the loop, I've been away for a few days. Is this for a poster you're making for something special? (just noticed the tags)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

yes yes! These are all the guests at Asylum 14 in May here in the UK, so when I've finished I'm getting this printed poster-sized to get everyone to sign.

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

These are great! I love the shading on them. The hair in particular is really well done on them all.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh ta very much!

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! I love the way the characters come down the side and then cross over toward the front. The colors are great too.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that will still work when I've added all the rest of the characters!

[matchboximpala.livejournal.com]

Those ladies are looking great!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's great to have some kick-ass girls at a con!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Looking absolutely fantastic, this is gonna be a blast to see it all signed :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope so... :D
