Vangelis - Art Masterpost

[amberdreams]

A long, long time ago, I signed up for the wincestbigbang, and was lucky enough to snaffle smalltrolven's story, Vangelis
Sadly I also signed up for too many things all at once, so all I managed for this was one scene. smalltroven deserved more, sorry me dear.

And a close up of the faces, which I probably shouldn't include because I'm not at all happy with the drawing.

It's digital drawing and painting, and I went through rather too many experimental techniques to get here, most of which ended up in layers that got deleted!
And that's all folks!

This is gorgeous! I love how lush all of the different finds of foliage in the frame and backdrop are--you can feel the heady thickness and warmth of being surrounded by plant life. The detail of the freckles and stubble is wonderful, too--which oddly enough doesn't often make it into fan art! And I'm so tickled by the tendons in this pic, eee ehehehe--in Dean's wrist and both their necks here. LOVE IT. <3

It's difficult responding to this one because I really don't like it. I fiddled and fiddled with it to try and improve it but I still don't like it. BUT I'm very happy you do. :D

BUT THE TENDONS, AMBER. THE TENDONSSSSSS!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ok, maybe those are ok. LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful honey. I love the close close up version, you can really see all the stunning detail you've put in!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you.... I dislike it a lot and feel bad about not liking it. LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Now I get that you don't like it, lol, but with everyone saying how stunning it is, has that not changed your mind just a smidge?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Kind of...maybe. ;)

So much lovely detail in the stubble, freckles and eyelashes. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful art :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! I'm glad you like it.

Wow, that is so beautiful! I love the lush surroundings, and the gorgeous coloring of the boys.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks!

Well I like it a lot! And smalltroven likes it enough to have it as her current default icon.

Has she posted the story? I get "access denied".

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks - and I think she's on US time so should be unlocking it any time. She's going to post on the comm so it's probably easiest to track it going live from there.

[smalltrolven.livejournal.com]

It's open as of now!

This is gorgeous, such a lovely setting and the guys are stunning - it's really intimate and so beautiful - I love the way Dean's fingers are gripping Sam's shoulder. And I LOVE Dean's jaw, neck and spiky hair!

It's lovely bb. Drawing a kissing scene is hard but I think you did really well. <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ah but you have done one of my all time fave kissing drawings....and it's a LOT better than this one. But thank you!
