spn_j2_bigbang is for another of my fave authors and people - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zubeneschamali, and as a bonus, one of my fave tropes - superpowers!
STORY LINK finally here! AO3
The banner
The main title page art
Hopefully the symbolism will be come clear when you read the story - but the red line is significant.
Process!
Another two watercolours here, with text added digitally. The banner features the cuff which Jensen has to wear as part of his rehabilitation/punishment, and the red line again to tie the two pictures together.
Some work in progress pics to show the stages.
Early splodging with a large mop brush. Paper is Fabriano Artistico 100% cotton, cold press, 12" x 9". I used mainly Roman Szmal watercolours but the main red is Daniel Smith's Deep Scarlet.
Starting to add shading and detail to Jensen's face. During which I rather lost the youthful look I'd meant to give him
Adding Jared - I'd started worrying he wasn't going to fit (or look right) though having him contained inside Jensen was my original concept, but once I started drawing him I knew it was going to work.
A little bonus close up of Jared
Mostly I avoided my usual compulsion to add ink lines to everything, just putting a few into Jared's face to emphasise the detail, given he's so (relatively) tiny!
