Blood will Flow

A rare foray across the fandom divide with this year's Marvel Big Bang. I was lucky to snag shinysylver's slow burn Stony fic, Toward the Sun . Not only is the story really good, but shiny was a joy to work with.
A sensitively written AU where Tony survives the End Game snap and Steve doesn't stay in the past, it's a really nice characterful piece that doesn't neglect the rest of the ensemble cast.

The main pic is a scene  that particularly appealed to me.
Tony tracks down White Vision in Sokovia.( Read more... )

I've decided to post whatever I do, even if I don't like it. So.
SPNovember Day 3 - Blood calls to blood.
I was thinking about what to do, Sam with demon blood, something kind of horror maybe, but then I thought about someone talking about siblings having blood harmony, and then all I could think about was our boys and their soulmate bond.



Just thinking about that look on Dean's face when he sensed Sam there makes me tear up. I don't think I did it justice but never mind. I has the feels regardless. I love these two so much.

Same as the others, Artgraft soft carbon pencil and wash, with some fineliner.

I may well only do one - my record on daily challenges is poor - but here's Graveyard.
Looks like things haven't gone well for Dean.

Image description: in rough line and wash black and white, dark trees in the background, in the mid-ground two plain leaning gravestones with a fragile-looking statue of an angel in between. The angel has her right hand pressed to her cheek and holds a bunch of flowers in her right hand down by her side. In the foreground amid unkemp vegetation Dean is prone, most of his body isn't visible. Dean's facing the viewer with his eyes open. There's blood on his forehead and cheek.

Materials:
Drawn using Art Graf soft carbon pencil, washed over with water brushes, then some detailing was done on top of the washes with a finepoint marker and more soft carbon.

Here's the prompt list in case anyone wants to join in - it's a do whatever you want when you want challenge for fic or any media. Post anywhere and tag.

A long, long time ago, Marvel Trumps Hate 2020 had an auction to raise money for charity.  The Marvel Art Party on Discord put together a package deal of 9 artists, of which I was one. We were won by the dynamic duo, Mystrana and Greywrites, and after much faffing and deliberation about what to do, I finally managed to finish my offering! Mystrana and Greywrites were happy for us to share with the world, so you can check all the fills in the AO3 collection.

Without further ado, I present Witch Bucky and his familiar, Alpine the cat, flying over some medieval city, in a far distant and happy AU.
First the SFW version with pants


And the NSFW version minus pants

The naked except for boots version came first, pants were added digitally!

After finally making the decision about what to draw, the process was pretty simple.
I had been wanting Bucky to be flying on his broomstick, when I saw some photos taken using a special lens which showed the scene in a kind of inverted global view. I also looked at medieval maps with the building drawn in street view style, and decided to combine the two ideas for the background.
Here's the aerial view without Bucky and co.

It's drawn in pencil, inked then watercoloured. The paper was round but wouldn't fit on the scanner so it got cropped into an ellipse. 😂
Bucky was drawn and painted on a separate piece of watercolour paper then I mashed the two scanned paintings together digitally. I adjusted the colours to reflect the actual colours as the scans leach a lot of the vibrance out. Other than that, there's no digital interferrence with the traditional art.
Here's the Bucky painting with his basket/sack of companions. Up to you whether he or Alpine have bewitched the actual Avengers or Bucky's made the plushies for his cat to play with. Either way, little Plushy Cap is happy to hold onto Bucky's finger...😍

Knock me down with a feather, I did a DRAWESOME challenge. I was doodling with my carbon ink pen and suddenly thought, wasn't there a MerMay challenge?





No pencil, no plan, just ink.

It's that time, challenges are begining to drift across the void - time to start next year's list!
