Blood will Flow

Tis a meme - with icon love, stolen from the lovely meme-obsessed geckoholic.

1. Reply to this post with "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES," and I will pick five six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

So geckoholic chose the following of my icons, in no particular order.

What can I say about this one?  One of my favourite moments of Season 6, a truly awful Benny Hill/Are You Being Served double entendre, and the cutest expression on Dean's little face a woman could ask for.
I made this one from one of my fave screen caps of Dean - gawd, I miss that leather jacket....
This was a reflection of my craving to have seen Dean as Michael...I thought the story arc for that season kind of fizzled out a bit - though Swan Song was a strong ending, I think that wasn't where Kripke would have gone if there hadn't been a season 6...
I found this awesome atmospheric photo of trees and it was already square, so an icon was born...once I'd cut our the boys and the beautiful Impala to place in the scene to set it all off.
Jensen looked a right tart in this photoshoot but I played with it for a bit and made him look more brooding than pretty (at least that was the intention).  I thought I ought to have an icon with my LJ id on it and yeah, this might be something I dream about!!!
This one's by fearthereaper - just Dean, really.  
You might think from this I am a Deangirl - and you'd be right. 

Also I only have one icon that is NOT Supernatural, because that is what I am here for. 

I couldn't resist after the Pulp Fiction shout outs last week....there's one for each of the boys.  I know I've muddled the real people with Dean and Sam in this one but I also couldn't resist after hearing their actual nicknames on set!  Jensen/Dean HERE on Redbubble,
Sam/Jared HERE.
As before all proceeds to the Red Cross.

I don't normally repost my drabbles here but, well.  I am.

Challenge : include a classic rock reference in title or text.
Warnings: Spoilers for Season 7 The Girl Next Door.
Summary:  Dean knows he’s a killer, he knows what he has to do.  It doesn’t mean he has to like it.  Or himself.
 
***********
Dean looks into Sam’s earnest gaze, hears him say trust me, and thinks about it.
 
He does trust Sam.  But this isn’t about Sam.  It’s about a monster that has killed more than once because it was desperate, and Dean understands that. 
Understands desperation.
Understands killing.
 
It starts out like a murmur
Then it grows like thunder
Until it bursts inside of you
Try to hold it steady…
 
Dean looks into Amy’s pleading gaze, hears her promise, but doesn’t think about anything at all as he slides the knife in.
 
Yeah, he’s trying to hold it together.  Holding it steady.

Until it Sleeps

E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100.
Challenge : include a classic rock reference in title or text. So I did both.
Warnings: Season 7 quotes, nothing plotty.
Summary: Lucifer is still inside his head but Sammy is fine.  Really.
 
***********
“Yes, I’m still seeing crap that’s not real.”
 
Lucifer’s singing - nursery crimes rhyme.
 
“But I mean, I’m fine.”
 
Sammy Sammy sat on the wall
 
“I can tell the difference.”
 
Sammy Sammy had a great fall
 
“Trust me, Dean.”
 
And all Dean’s efforts
 
“You look at me like I’m a grenade and you’re waiting for me to go off.”
 
And all Bobby’s books
 
 “But I’m managing it.”
 
Couldn’t put Sammy together again.
 
 “I’m not normal, I’m a grade A freak.”
 
 
So tear me open pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout…
 
Don’t let go of that pin, Sammy.

A/N: In case you didn’t recognise them, the drabble title and lyrics used are from Metallica’s Load album.
The nursery rhyme Lucifer has adapted is of course, Humpty Dumpty.  The last words could be Lucifer or Dean, I leave it to you to decide.

This is the second of my samdean_otp Mini Bang arts, for alwaysenduphere's dreamy story The Moon is a Piece of Me.
The master post is here, go read!
If you want a PDF version there is one on Mediafire here.
Herewith, the arty things.

( The rest of the funstuff is under the cut....go looksee! )
Adrenalineshots has reminded me I should have explained my sources for the main wallpaper (slaps hand, bad girl!).  The background I used is called Cosmos collection by Funerium on Deviantart.  I loved it the moment I saw it, and when I read this story, it seemed perfect.  I've added some layer effects (using my own photos) the alter the quality of the light, and obviously, Sam, Dean and the Impala.  The title font is Mufaroo, downloaded from http://www.dafont.com/.

A busy day!! *g*  Art post number 2 today is my first one for  samdean_otp's Sam Dean Mini-Bang 2011.
This story is called Don't Cry for Me by cece_away.  Her masterpost is here, and there is a PDF download here on Mediafire including the art.
So - there is the banner:


and a cover:

and on black


I also did an icon

Not much of a portfolio, sorry CeCe!  But I did do this Jo wallpaper while I was working on this story, so I'll include it as a kind of bonus.

Here's my second art for spn_gen_bigbang - Fill in th Blanks by Annathemis.
Her Master post can be found here and there is also a PDF version for download on Mediafire here.

So this is an interesting story and gave me plenty of ideas for images though I ended up doing fewer than I had originally intended!  I don't think they are spoilery, as you probably won't understand the imagery until you read the story.

First the cover design. Click on the thumbnails to see the larger sizes.
and its banner version

Text dividers


An illustration/wallpaper for later in the story


Sam and the mask from the wallpaper as individual pics


The photobucket album has some other versions of these pics, trying out different lighting/texture effects if you are interested.

Now go read all the lovely Dean and Sammy angst!

Ok this is my second SPN_J2 Big Bang art post and this time it was baby dragons instead of fairies.  Yep, I know how to pick 'em.
The story is by charlies_dragon (appropriately enough) and there is a PDF (including the art) that you can download here.
It's a pre-series fic and Dean is hunting alone while Sam is at Stanford...

So onto the pics.  I don't think there is anything really spoilery in them that you wouldn't have got from reading the summary over on the BB page.
First the cover

( See the rest...... )

Been busy with my Big Bang art but in between I made some pretty Dean wallpapers.  I couldn't decide which version I liked best but I think I finally decided on the colourful one (again), though I do love the sepia tones...



Click on the images to get wallpaper sized versions if you want.

I love this photo and had a play with some effects.

Nothing to do with Asylum 6 - this is a wallpaper using some of the techniques Adrenalineshots sent me a tutorial about - really cool effects!! Thanks so much Natty!!!  I've been having so much fun playing with them... :D

Click trhough the image to get the 1600x1200 version.

BTW the lyrics are from Romantica's Oscar Wilde
