Artist's notes:
Boy, I really struggled to find a story for this, don't know why! But thankfully once I got the idea, and worked through the whole "wait a minute, should Jason actually look like Jensen or not?" everything fell into place.
Process-wise - I spent far too much time looking for references and then not using them, but here are some early concept sketches, thinking about how the dialogue might go, how to lay out the comic page, etc.

I actually prefer this practice sketch of Jensen to the Jensen in the final piece, but never mind.
The final version after inking and before watercolouring.

I love this! Your art is amazing, and you conveyed an entire, quietly tragic story in just a few panels. Wonderful. :D

Thanks for the lovely comment! I'm so happy you 'got' their stories.

Great colour palette, and I love their expressions!

[amberdreams]

Thank you!

Wow, really gorgeous work! I actually love the use of colors in the final piece. And their facial expressions are so great - casual but curious and a little sad too. You really brought this scenario to life.

Yay thank you, I'm so glad you caught that mood from this. I didn't plan everything as I probably should've, so it's great that the colour scheme works.

I missed this because I didn‘t have my notifications switched on. It is so great! Thank you for sharing the concept art too, I always love seeing what changes were made.

Thank you!
I don't think notifications work on DW when I import from LJ, which is how I usually work, so you probably won't get alerts when I post anyway.
