amberdreamsMy second art post for 
spn_meanttobe is for 
walking_tornado's Deals in Brimstone.
It's a bittersweet Stanford era AU - and I'm a sucker for anything to do with Dean during that time. And yeah, that is supposed to be Crowley on Dean's shoulder there...so now you have to read it, no?
I didn't get as much done as I wanted, and I'm not totally happy with the end result, but it almost works, so that will have to be enough!
Here's the full picture done as a book cover
i took my inspiration from some of the promos from Magic City, which used that turquoisey colour combined with black and white photos - but this idea didn't quite turn out as I wanted when I tried drawing the figures instead of using photos. Also I really wasn't happy with John's face, it doesn't look like him at all. *sigh*
See what I mean?
But I was pleased how Dean came out.
Progress stuff:
My first draft had Dean smoking butwalking_tornado didn't like that (neither did I really) so I amended it to replace the cigarette with a drink. Oh the joys of working digitally!
chomaisky did a really helpful beta for me (damn I wish I had half her draftsmanship!). Thank you again, my dear. You are a star.
This was the reference I used for Dean - it's one of my photos from Asylum 6. Mmm yummy, meaty thighs...
