J2noAU Challenge - art for If You Leave...

[amberdreams]

Art posting again!  This time for annie46 's sweet future fic about J2 - yeah you guessed it from the challenge comm name, j2noauchallenge.  Jared's about to find out that sometimes you only realise how much you need something when it's taken away from you...
Read the fic HERE.
Teaser!

So the art...click on the pic to see the large walllpaper version

A banner sized version

A little trio of icons

And finally - the sources:
For Jensen, one of my A6 pics

For Jared, a screencap by gallika from Episode 11

The snow effect is 'snowland' by tiger_stock on deviantart, the background plane photo was a google search find. I drew and coloured the boys in GIMP then blended them with the other pics.

You already know how much I love you right?

This is awesome art and thank you again for doing it for me!!

I intend to use the icons as soon as I have an opportunity (i.e. when I finish work!!)

You are very welcome - it was my first J2 I think... :D

Lovely art - I love the snow effect, and especially the one of Jensen in the hat with the blue background. Gorgeous!

I was really chuffed how well Jensen turned out! Thank you!

Beautiful artwork, I love the colouring and you definitely chose the right pictures for reference. :)

Thank you! I wanted to get Jared's expression right!

You did a beautiful job on both Jared and Jensen. You captured their expressions so well. Great Job.

Thank you!

OOooh, I like what you did there! Neat composition and the use of limited colours add to the sad/contemplating feeling of the piece (does that make sense?). The combination of colours is wonderful as is the difference between Jared's smooth face and rough textures on Jensen. I absolutely LOVE how you did Jared's hair; I want to run my fingers through it:)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I've so happy you thought the picture had that melancholy quality, that was exactly what I was trying to convey. And thanks for the lovely comment about Jared's hair!

The textures and lineart are just awesome. Beautiful work <3

Thank you! It's always gratifying to get nice comments from real artists :D

I know this is an older fic, but I LOVE the art. Any chance of a reupload. I want to put it all in my word file of the fic.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can find it and get back to you...

[meus_venator]

Would be much appreciated. But knowing just how many jazzillion art files you have no worries if you can't find it.

I've found the main pic and the Jensen crop and updated the post - if you click through the link will take you to Flickr and you can download them that way if you want.

Oh, thank you so much for going to all the trouble. I don't know what it is about this set, but I just adore their expressions and I love line art anything.
Beautiful work. ♥

Thank you! I'd actually forgotten about this one until I got a recent request to replace the broken photobucket links!
