SPN J2 Xmas - a gift for Kelleigh

[amberdreams]

This year I drew the talented kelleigh out of the spn_j2_xmas Santa hat. I started writing something, but then Art ensued!

Title: Isn't it about time for a Red Hood/Thor crossover anyway?
Gifter:amberdreams
Pairing/Characters: J2
Medium: Traditional art with digital colour
Rating: PG13
Warnings: None
Summary: Jared loves Marvel but Jensen is a strictly a DC man, which means that every year the work costume party causes a little bit of drama.
Teaser:





My usual Process stuff and nonsense follows.

I drew!
All HB pencil, and a lot of fun trawling through photos of our boys, looking for the right references and fun expressions.
Faces first.
Jensen

Jared

This Jensen one didn't work so well, but it was still better than the one on the full length drawing, so this is the one I used on the Red Hood pic

Jared's face on the full length Thor pic didn't work for me either, so I drew him separately too.

The two full length pics with the original faces


With their new faces

and with colouring started

So yeah. That's about it. Scanned and put 'em into Photoshop to paint 'em, et voila.

Thanks for your assistance, petal! I could have kept on fiddling but sometimes you just have to post and move on. LOL!

[skaredycat.livejournal.com]

Great job very well done. You should be proud.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

And wait...is that a piglet in a papoose on the dog's back?? OMG how cute!

[skaredycat.livejournal.com]

Im not sure if its a piglet or a puppy, I was thinking it was a puppy. either way yes it is cute. I just love it.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose it would make more sense for it to be a puppy!

Love it, such a cute interaction -- the armour is so cool, and Jensen looks amazing! (Of course - when does Jensen not look amazing! ♥)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Well, of course I couldn't rival the real thing with Jensen, now all we need is Jared to wear the Thor costume for real and we can die happy!

LOVE IT!!! Especially the Jensens in the comic/faces section, they're SO EXPRESSIVE. <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I had a lot of fun with those! Thanks!

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

OH THIS IS SO MUCH FUNNNNNN. Love the comic between them then the delicious poses of them in full costume. ESPECIALLY TO JENSEN'S POSE WITH HIS HIPS JUTTED OUT AND THE FIERCE ARMS AND GUNS MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The great thing about Jensen's pose is - I didn't have to make anything up! All I did for that one was use his own photo as reference for the pose and take the full Red Hood mask off him. Bloody hell, I love that man. LOL

Glad you enjoyed this one :D

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

Yessssssssssssss his pose in those pics was so delicious. I LOVE that you chose that one to work with :DDD

I love their expressions, especially their big eyes looking each other over - yes, they both look kinda hot!! Thanks for showing your process, I love Jared's cape and Jensen's bowlegs!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Jared would definitely suit a cape, he has the height to carry it off! Thanks me dear!

[majestic-duxk.livejournal.com]

I love it! I love the cuteness, I love the sass, I love the costumes! and the art is just gorgeous. I can almost see Jensen's eyes glowing!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]
