3. Penetrating wound

No refs so the boys don't look much like themselves though I can promise, Dean does have freckles.  And that is supposed to be a firebird feather Sam's holding...

Oh and I could claim this as a fill for hc_bingo, hypothermia...

Blood on the snow! Squeee! (And creepy raven, too.)

There's definitely a story waiting to be told here!

There just had to be a creepy raven....

Ahhh! The stick coming through Sam's leg!!!! Hurt, cold Dean on horseback. And a firebird! Intriguing...

I was going to submit this one for RBB but... Now I'll have to start something new for that! LOL

I did had the inklings of a story for this one myself but hopefully someone will come up with something better.

I just went and signed up for RBB. There's always so many more authors than artists and I usually don't make it to claiming, but it's such an interesting challenge that this year I'm really going to try.

Yay! I'd love to write as well as do the art but they won't let you do both - no idea why as time isn't an issue because you've already done your art by the time it comes to write. *shrugs*

Because there ARE so many more authors than artists! (Even if every artist turns in two pieces.) From the horse's mouth. ;) But I know what you mean, since I love doing both as well. I'm gonna hang tight for the pinch hits, though. There's always a bunch to be had.

Date: 2013-09-03 08:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com
True, maybe I should do that. I'd like to do more than 2 pieces of art too...!

OH AMB! This really DOES need a story! I love the guys' faces and the shaggy pony. AND SNOW.

Damn, perhaps I should have saved it for RBB...

This so needs a fic! I'm wondering about the story behind the firebird and crow. Dean is like a knight coming to rescue, but he seems to be in no better conditions than Sam. I also love the watercolor touch of the frozen stream that set Sam and Dean apart and winds its way to the far background.

Hopefully someone will write it... and thank you!

Ooh. This totally needs a fic! It's so intriguing with the feather and the raven and all! Poor Sam, and Dean doesn't exactly look very chopper himself, hmmm...

Fingers crossed someone will have a go...

This actually made me gasp (because omg, great!) at first glance and then, at a second glance, I really got into the details.

I told you I got into composition lately, so my eyes immediately went there in your picture and I'm just blown away. I've been marvelling about a couple of concepts (lines, for instance) but you've balanced it all out so harmonically that it looks...well, harmonic, but still interesting.

Also, the details! The birds, horse (beautiful!) and the trees. All the detail there!

I guess I don't even have to go into the way you painted the boys, right? Because it goes without saying that you do a wonderful job of that.

So thanks for sharing a wonderful picture with the fandom that just invites the mind to start wandering ♥

Aw you are too kind! It's funny you should mention the compostition because I think I got that wrong - I never think about it like we are supposed to until I've finished, I just move things around until I think they look nice. This one I think I've ended up leading the eye to that empty space in the middle which is a bit of a whoops!

Oh, my eye went...will you think badly of me if I say it went to Sam's behind? It's nice and prominently in the foreground and...shapely? I'm ashamed now.

But your picture is lovely, so all is well ;)

Hee not at all, Sam's bottom is the perfect resting place for many things..eyes, hands... ahem.

Anyway, we just decided you can lead the viewer's eyes to the right place perfectly well. I applaud your skills ;)

Seriously, though, I do. The anatomy is very nicely done, too ;)

Well thank you very much. :D

Hurting Winchesters, adorable horsey, snow, awesome glowy firebird and a raven - you captured everything awesome in the world and put in one piece. References or not, the composition is fabulous and Dean looks so utterly miserable, it's perfection! I mean, err...poor boys ;)

Horsey might be my fave part... though I forgot her reins. Ha ha ha!

Dean's so awesome that he's guiding her with his knees. Or, she's Impala horse and is set for finding her boys with no guidance at all!

I did have in mind she was Baby, yeah, so I'll take the latter!

Stunning! I love all the detail here, every time I look at I see something else.

I adore the colours and glittery shimmer of the firebird against all the white snow. The bright red blood really catches your eye too.

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, :)

You are very welcome, and thanks for the lovely comment!

Wow! This is amazing! And the boys CERTAINLY look like themselves! Wow, I can't stop ogling at this and you artists have got to shtahp because I have an exam in two days and my mind is filled with plot bunnies now.

Amazing job, though, you're very talented. Wish I could be more analytical about your style, but I'm a layperson when it comes to art and I draw my random mountains and trees sometimes.

Ooh sorry for distracting you and good luck with your exams! (I'm sure plot bunnies can wait until your exams are over...LOL!)

This is wonderful! I love how much story there is in this piece (and so many opportunities to tell a story also...)

Sam's leg wound looks so nasty. And poor Dean too...

I am intrigued by the feather, the birds and the wounds..

<33

Intriguement was my aim (if there is such a thing...) - now we just need someone to translate this into fic!
