Blood will Flow

OH AMBER. GOD DAMN IF YOU DIDN'T OUT-DO EVEN YOUR OWN INCREDIBLE SELF WITH THIS ART SET. I am in. fucking. love. with it. The way you used that sepia tone to create the old west feel is so perfect. I adore the way you let the banner set a really desolate 'wandering through the desert' tone for the story, that skull at the bottom, the spooky ghost town in the background, and the bloody graffiti on the sign. It would have been a huge mistake to populate this piece with any characters, so I'm really glad you let the viewer just sit with the setting like this in the introductory piece.

BUT THEN THE LOVELY SCENE ILLUSTRATIONS!! I love that you carried through the theme of the fire flickering in the gifs. I haven't read the story yet, but you really captured a sense or urgency and desperation in that scene of Jensen taking off into the night, the fire lighting him.

I know you mention not being happy with the ghost horse piece, and I get that we are all our own worst critics and hearing assurances from others doesn't usually put our inner critic to rest, but man, I wish I had the words to tell you how much I love that piece. Not only is it my favorite in this art set, it's one of my favorites from this entire round of bigbang art. I love everything about it: the POV, the use of space. The way you seemed to make the ghost horses glow in the dark, such a perfect ghostly coloring job. Jared's tight little ass...not gonna lie to you, I liked that a whole lot. YOU HAVE A GIFT FOR ARTING BUTTS, WHAT CAN I SAY?

And then the last piece is just so sweet. You brought it so much to life with that fire--I could almost feel the flames. But even more palpable is the connection between the boys. You captured that J2 connection that we all love so much. The smile on Jared, the heart eyes on Jensen. And it's so suggestive of action--even though the boys are still, I can hear and see their animated conversation.

What a beautiful bigbang art set!!
