Blood will Flow

This is part of a fandom project to celebrate the Winchester boys reunion in Heaven. You can read Caranfindel's lovely story and see all the other creations on AO3.


Gouache with some digital shadows and lines added. Many thanks to Quickreaver for your assistance!

It's no good, I've had quite a while to contemplate this painting and I still hate it. Even digital fiddling couldn't help fix it as far as I'm concerned, and yes, I know I shouldn't be negative, or over critical - but. I wish I'd had the energy to re-do it. It doesn't do the theme or the fic justice.

Eldritch number two is a totally different flavour of strange - AndThatWasEnough's charming and quirky alternate vision of what the bunker could have been. You can read the story HERE on AO3

I've been doing various little challenges via Instagram artists in an attempt to practice new things, like gouache and watercolour techniques.
Firstly there's the Pantone challenge by Bigbluetang, where she sets a pantone colour and we try and do something arty on a square of that colour. I have a box of 100 Pantone postcards so I'm using those. So far I've done a few, with big gaps in between (Bigbluetang is doing one a day for 30 days!)
The surface is rather shiny so it's not the easiest to paint on, plus it's a bit small (about 2.5 inches square), so they are varying in their successfulness.
This is one I did today. I'm not over fond of it, but it's ok I suppose.( Read more... )

I never caught up with Inktober, so I think I'll just keep the prompt list and gradually fill up my little book as I get inspired. In the meantime, my weekly sketchbooking course continues. This week there was no class because it's half term, so I met up with Debbie, the lady I first met on the free walking sketching day.
