Dean Cas Reverse Bang art masterpost

I warned ya! Another day, another reverse bang...
This time I ventured a little off-piste for me, into Destiel territory for the Dean Cas Reverse Bang, and my offering was picked up by the lovely and patient Legendsofsnark.

Banner
DCRB Banner-final
Summary: The Winchester brothers are working for the Angel Bureau of Investigation on a case. Several angels have gone missing and University Professor Castiel Novak appears to be their prime suspect - that is until Dean goes missing too, and Sam and Castiel have to team up to find him.

This was my second attempt at that scene - here's my first effort
2018 DCRB ABI-2
This first one was acrylic on board and I kind of hated it - though actually having looked at it today it looks better in real life than it does in this photo. But it's still not good.
I didn't like the second (submitted) version much better though, so when it came to trying for a banner, I had a third go at Misha, and again, it's not great. *sigh*

This is the banner in progress - a pencil drawing being coloured in PS. The wings were done in Indian ink on some thick but non watercolour paper, and then splashed with red watercolour because I couldn't find my bottle of red ink. That didn't work out how I wanted either, but I ran out of time to do anything else.

So all round, I think I was very lucky that Legendsofsnark liked the picture enough to write me a story!

Lovely art, I especially like the way you drew Castiel's face.

Aw thanks, I really struggled with him!

Oh I like those, the very VERY cool looking Angel Sam and Dean are excellent and Castiel wearing glasses does funny things to my toes ;)

My toes are cool with it, LOL!

I know it's hard to not be critical of your own art, but I think you're being hard on yourself - I love your Castiel with glasses, his eyes and lips are divine! And the one of the boys with wings is lovely, too. The fic sounds really interesting.

Thanks me dear, I still don't like it but never mind, each picture is a learning experience!

Cas is HARD. I really think you can see improvement in the banner picture so your hard work paid off!
