SPN Xmas - Shirts Off! for discosuitsam

[amberdreams]

My giftee had so many fun prompts and likes it was hard to know what to do - until I read that they felt we were robbed of a scene that might even have salvaged the episode I shall not mention (my most hated episode in SPN's history).
So, dear discosuitsam, I hope this makes up for the disappointment of having "shirts off!" shouted and no topless wrestling scene ensue.
Teaser




If anyone's interested - this is a pencil/coloured pencil drawing, with a digital background made from a screenshot of the crowd in the episode, with lots of noise added.

Here's two stages in the drawing process.

I thought I'd started in the right place on the paper but clearly not!
Cropped and coloured

i did think about drawing in the background (as you can see from the wobbly net lines, but then decided against it.

We were definitely robbed and unfortunately that was the least of what that episode did to us! So this is an awesome present for your giftee, I hope they love it! I think it’s gorgeous 😄 I love the musculature on the boys — makes me think of old time wrestlers crossed with Greek statues. Absolutely Love it! 😄

Aw thank you! I actually used a photo of some Turkish oil wrestlers as my reference!
And yes, that episode made me SO angry. I have not forgiven them for that.

I too felt so robbed when they implied they would have to take their shirts off and then they DIDN'T. Thank you for rectifying this with your beautiful art. Sam and Dean are amazingly drawn, and I love that we can see the spectators in the shadows creeping on them. I am those spectators.

Heh heh, me too (creepy shadowy lusting commences...)

I also haven't forgiven them for that episode...but your bare-chested cage fighting boys go some way towards soothing the anger!!! Nicely done. <3

Me neither — I hate it with the fire of a thousand burning suns. Think of this as the Fandom AU where Winchesters get their shirts off all the time.

That was quite a tease in the episode, lol! Thanks for rectifying the situation with this. :D It's stunning.

IKR? It wasn't like that episode redeemed itself in other ways, either. Glad I could help put at least ONE thing right. 😂

The best kind of fix it! I feel lots better now 😁

Glad to help! 😂

Oh, this is great! Love the freckles on Dean's shoulder and Sam's little ponytail.
