Paying it forward

[amberdreams]

A long long time ago, I made a post offering something to the first responders, to be delivered before the end of 2013.  Well... I hadn't forgotten (not quite!) so here is the first gift. This one is for tifaching
Teaser

Hope you like it, my dear!

It's a bit experimental - trying out various brushes in Photoshop, and I've left it kind of rough round the edges.  I used a couple of different screen caps/stills as references, both from reproimages.  I didn't overlay or anything so any lack of proportion, likeness etc is down to the nekkid eye.
Clicking on the image will take you to photobucket where you can see them larger if you want.

Poor Dean, he gets bloody and we all think it's a treat! LOL

Thank you!

Oh oh oh! This is awesome! It's always such a treat to see Alastair/Dean. They're my guilty pleasure pairing. The shading is beautifully done. Love the tension in their stares. And Alastair's wrinkles and crinkles. Wonderful!

Chris Heyerdahl has such a wonderful face and his Alastair was awesome. Hope you've read Tif's Alastair/Dean fics then...she writes a mean pairing there!

Love the bloody fingernail!

I thought it added a certain je ne sais quoi!

Wonderful job!

Thank you!

Oh...oh, my. Dean and Alastair in On the Head of a Pin? I can not tell you how much I love this. Blood between the two of them is like catnip to me. Dean's trying so hard, but Alastair just won't give him any satisfaction. I love it.

And so you know...I'm so far behind in this, only having one thing done, but what I want to do for you...it may not be done by the end of the year, but it will be done.

Could be On the Head of a PIn, could be some other time maybe, it's up to you! Glad you liked your catnip...!

I am with you being way behind on this, yours is the first one I've done (apart from a Green Arrow, Black Canary pic is drew for a friend because I thought she was on my list of promises - turned out she wasn't! LOL

i really like the style of this - the shading, the lines and wrinkles on their faces, the black and white and red, everything. also, kinda creeptastic in a pretty fabulous way. the blood around dean's fingernails is an especially neat detail. (altho also, ew.)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ew indeed... So happy you think it is creepy though, as I always thought Alastair was supremely creeptastic!

You're getting so good at the digital art thing! Alastair is hard, and you've ogtten his creepy likeness down excellently. Love the bloody teeth.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you for saying this! Very encouraging...

At the risk of sounding like an utterly sick bitch, this is creepy, and yet manages to be erotic too. I've never been into Dean/Alastair, but given all the history in Hell they have, it's no surprise there is a pairing for it, both in fandom and so obviously in canon too. I love the tension here. It may not look sexual with the blood, but sexuality isn't always sweet and tender. And there I go sounding sick again...lol.

I'm so glad you said that because that was kind of the effect I was going for - whether it's UST or not, there is a kind of intensity between them you can easily imagine turning that way... so guess I'm saying I'm a sick puppy too! LOL

[fiery-fox2.livejournal.com]

-grins-, then I guess we're both in the same boat. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Wow...so creepy! Dean's expression is perfect, and that bloody nail...*shudder*

Thank you!
