Thanks to an extension... Though this isn't what I'd originally intended to post.

The Winchester version of Frozen didn’t have any music, which was a blessing, but Dean didn’t much appreciate being the snowman.( Read more... )

I wasn't sure what to do for Holiday Mixtape, then I saw a photo of happy Jensen sitting astride a beer barrel and...this happened.

Teaser for Day 3

( Read more... )

Don't worry I probably won't post every day, especially while I'm away in Venice and Manchester, but today being Day 1, it's getting it's own post.
Herewith may I present a Pumpkin headed witch, mixing poisonous potions in her potion bottles.

2018 Inktober Day 1 - Tombow calligraphy pen

I sketched lightly in HB pencil then inked with a Tombow calligraphy pen. The pic is 4"x3" because I thought this year I'd try and keep them small.

I couldn't decide which prompt to go with from the four prompt lists I'd found, so this is actually all four in one picture! LOL
The official Inktober prompt was poisonous, the

drawesome one was potions and bottles, #mabsdrawlloweenclub was Witch, while #drawtober2018 provided the pumpkin head.

I just got round to sorting out the Schmelke jpegs for my Creation UK photo ops from May! It's not as dilatory as it sounds - well, yeah, it is actually. I had the email to request the jpegs keyed up for ages then forgot about it, so I only sent it off in July. Anyhow, Chris sent them and included his crops and the originals - so I'm posting my own crops and edits now, because Chris wanted to show off his imperial purple background, but I wanted to be able to see what was going on! LOL

Mind you, I still can't work out what Jared was doing with his legs in this Velma dip one, and I still HATE my face - but look at his pretty little kissyness!( Read more... )

I posted these in three separate posts so now I'm pulling all my recs together, with a last handful added into the mix as I'm catching up, and before reveals go live.

Apart from the fact my gift was fecking awesome, these are not in any order of preference and are a mix of art and fic. It's not the full sum of all the entries I loved either - but I could probably have listed 90% of them!

I'll probably add a few more to this.

I'm really looking forward to finding out who did what!

I feel I should report back on Creation and JIB and my Jared painting, before all the details slip out of my leaky brain.

( warning for picspamming and unwarranted whining amid the funstuff )

So it begins!

I finally uploaded to Youtube, and wanted to post here, as I see people are already making gifs from mine and other folks' vids (uncredited of course - geesh). Anyhow. I apologise for the unsteadi-cam. No tripods or camera supports were allowed this year because people are idiots, so hand holding for 30-45 minutes at a time messes up my shoulders and neck and means everything wobbles. (Ha ha what's new when you're 3 stone overweight?!)

Guess what. Saturday's J2 panel was crashed by Misha and where was the drama then?

One day I'll work out how to use iMovie to stitch these together but until then, here's part 2

JenMisha Panel with giant Jared bonus.

Part 2 including closing ceremony

You can find the rest on my playlists on Youtube, I just wanted to put some of the vids here.

For the

DRAWESOME challenge no:16 - age diversity.

I've done a fraction more shading now but I'm not sure it's made much difference. It's not quite right but it was fun trying the greyscale technique again. The erasing in the midtone doesn't show up very well on the actual drawing either though the photo reduced that further.

Among many things you thought you'd never say.

He's under cover (just!) but the wind was still blowing dust and dead leaves around, plus I can't get to both sides of him easily so I'm just hoping that a) I've now got all his paintwork covered and b) there are no obvious drips. And LJ is deleting all the code for embedding gifs again. What the fuck, Live Journal?

Title: Lumps of Pudding
Artist:

amberdreams
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Fandom: None.
Summary: There's a old British folk tune called Lumps of Pudding, which is a jig that was popular in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. Some time in the 1790s H.W Bunbury drew a long comic-style strip of people dancing the Lumps of Pudding jig, and I've done my own version. This is just an extract because I've submitted a lot more dancing people as my design for a giant snail for a sculpture trail in Brighton, and we aren't allowed to share the complete designs yet.
Content Notes: Submitted for the Body Type Diversity challenge on drawesome because these folks might all be white but they are diverse! LOL

It's been a while.

Sketchbooking is continuing to be interesting. I also did a one day workshop with the same tutor on mixed media.

Tonight we did minimising the palette and had a choice between full monochrome and a limited palette. I'd meant to have a go at both but ran out of time.
So here's my monochrome, sepia portrait from a stock photo( Read more... )

https://youtu.be/SHu4qfKaruQThere were so many glorious prompts over at

j2_jukebox but I failed so hard at them all! Ha ha!
I started a fic to go with this one, but it's nowhere near done, so I thought I'd try a quick sketch as a placeholder. In the fic Jared is eighteen so really he should be taller here. Just imagine he's sitting on a stool or something! LOL

The prompt was by

marietwist - Rufus Wainwright's The Art Teacher. The lyrics (with the protagonist's sex changed) are below the picture.( Read more... )

My second

deanwbigbang post is fic this time!

Title: Feathers and Flowers

Author: Me!

Artist:

stargazingchola

Rating: Probably R for talk of sex and swearing

Pairing/Characters: Sam/OFC, Dean, Sam, one mythological OC and one historical OC

Length: ~14k

Warnings/Tags: Gencesty vibes, Sam haz the sex off camera, hurt!Dean, transformed Sam, almost dub-con (it doesn't actually follow through), dreamwalking, historical references, Native American heroes, mythical mash-ups

Summary: Dean thinks it's weird when Sam gets a girlfiend, but things start getting even weirder when Sam brings her into the bunker. Uknowingly caught up in a reworking of a Welsh myth, Dean manages to lose Sam, and is forced to team up with Sam's girlfriend on a road trip to track down his brother.

Thank you: Many thanks to my two betas ameliacareful and

harrigan - your feedback made this a lot more comprehensible! Any remaining errors are mine.

stargazingchola went above and beyond with her art - so much loveliness! Please make sure to visit her art post and leave lots of love.

Art: on LJ | Tumblr
Fic: Masterpost | Part 1 | Part 2 or on AO3

Here we go! The first of three DWBB posts (two art and one fic). This one is for shipperslist's story The Past Never Ends.

Summary: Sam has gone missing so what’s Dean going to do? Follow his trail to the ghost town of Cold Oak, of course. But what he finds isn’t Sam but something else; something older, more dangerous, and infinitely more terrifying than the little brother he wanted to bring back home.
OR The Silent Hill movie AU nobody wanted but that I chose to write anyway.

I've been chugging away at submitting designs for various sculpture trails all over the country, and now the intital selection results are starting to come in. I've got one penguin design on the Dundee shortlist, and all THREE of my giraffes have been shortlisted for Worcester. Okay, this doesn't mean I'll definitely get any of them commissioned but I might...so when do I start panicking? LOL!!!!
