Don't let the MCD tag put you off reading
smalltrolven's wonderful story inspired by my animated prompt - it's a SPN kind of death, and the fic has a typical SPN outcome...
Banner (done at the last minute this morning because I suck). Click to go read the story and get your tissues ready.
Original prompt
Background and process
I was researching something else, and found a photo of some gorgeous tropical butterflies landing on freshwater turtles to drink their tears - and that was my inspiration. I'm still trying to learn how to watercolour, and I had an unfinished piece featuring some pretty orange lily leaves, so I added Dean, and the animated butterfly. I noticed part way through painting that some of the marks kind of looked like a hand draped over Dean's shoulder, so I decided to emphasise that and make it part of the picture.
Here's the painting in progress
And here's the painting for the banner, which is inspired bysmalltrolven's fascinating use of the leaves from the original prompt. Had I been (as I am always NOT!) more organised, I'd have loved to do something with gardening Sam too, but alas, I'm behaving true to form and failed miserably LOL. I should also have spent a bit more time than a few hours this morning getting this painting right.
These are the butterflies I painted to use for the animation
