SPN_J2 Big Bang - Posting Day #2! Here be dragons....

[amberdreams]

Ok this is my second SPN_J2 Big Bang art post and this time it was baby dragons instead of fairies.  Yep, I know how to pick 'em.
The story is by charlies_dragon (appropriately enough) and there is a PDF (including the art) that you can download here.
It's a pre-series fic and Dean is hunting alone while Sam is at Stanford...

So onto the pics.  I don't think there is anything really spoilery in them that you wouldn't have got from reading the summary over on the BB page.
First the cover

Then the divider and sample Part header


A banner and a wallpaper/illustration



And there you have it! :D

THANKS SO MUCH HUN :D

Seriously, you know how much I love all of this but now I need to tell everyone else how much I do coz you're such an utter STAR and SOOOOO talented :D :D :D

Really, amazing art darlin' *hugs so tightly*

It was a pleasure working with you m'dear! ((((((hugs back))))

Ah! I used to have a dragon! That was one brilliant idea to use real animals as the dragons of this art! It looks awesome!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I was lucky that the story was largely about a baby, making a full-sized dragon out of a lizard would have been much much harder! So happy you think it worked!
Oh and I am still reaping the benefits of your tutorial on using effects in layers, thank you!!!

OMG...does Dean get pet dragons? It sure likes like Dean gets pet dragons!! SO MUCH GLEE!!!! Thank you for sharing, these are very expertly executed!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hee he I'm sure I couldn't say, guess you have to read the fic now, eh? So glad you liked the pictures!

These are all so much fun, but that last one is especially cool. I love the lighting :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The last one's lighting was achieved using a texture overlay by saltn'burn - I only found out how to do that recently and it is so much fun playing with different effects!

I love your art! I've been just saving most of the Gen BigBangs for laters (yes, I did snag the lovely PDF), but as soon as I saw it was you, I just had to peek - \o/ totally fabulous! Plus - DRAGONS! *hearts you*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I had no idea people might watch me like that - that is very cool. He he now I made it sound like folk are stalking me LOL!

I love it all! Dean with the gun and baby dragon! THe baby dragon itself and its really wonderful wings! I found the art intriguing and, since I haven't actually read the story yet, it just makes me wish it wasn't 0100 so I could go and read it right now :) Very nice work!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the lovely comments, so happy you liked the wings especially, I wasn't totally sure they'd work. :D
