Shadows - S/D Minibang Art Masterpost
My second artings in the the 3rd annual 
samdean_otp minibang challenge are for the lovely roxymissrose and her fic Shadows. Read it here.
Summary: Season one background. Dad's somewhere unknown, Dean's bone-tired and weighed down knowing that Sam is counting down the minutes until he can leave. Dean's a hell of a big brother, so he does Sam a favor and jumps ship first. What Dean doesn't know is that he's carrying a souvenir of his last hunt; it's hiding in his dreams.
An illustration of a more peaceful scene. Dean's reading while his new friends fish in the nearby lake.
I did a set of dividers
And finally:
The boys together, leaving town.
Some throwaway bits:
Dean walking scribble!
and the town sign on its own
The technical bits:
Dean reading is drawn and painted in Photoshop, without a reference. I did some overlay effects in GIMP because I still haven't worked out how to do all that in PS. Dean walking was also scribbled in Photoshop, using a screen cap from Episode 1 of Season 8 as a reference. The Title page/banner is GIMP, using screenshot photo-cut-outs of Sam and Dean, various smoke brushes and I drew the grass myself in Photoshop (because the brushes in PS are lovely for tapering effects).
The final picture was again done in a mixture of GIMP and PS. The lighting effect is a texture by cloaks. I drew the town sign from a photo I found of a real sign from Alaska.
