Blood will Flow

It's been a while since I posted anything arty that isn't fanart, but I've recently started a new art class, similar to my old sketchbooking one, where the challenge is to try lots of different things and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

The theme of the first two weeks has been caricature, and after sticking to pencil last week, this week it was all about going straight in with the indian ink, and using bamboo pens and sticks to make sure I wasn't too precious. Wanda Gág with her giant palette was the first one I did today, and I really liked it!

The second of my art posts for spn_gen_bigbang !  I was very chuffed to pick out poetartist and an installment of her wonderful imaginative AU Pie Verse.
It gave me the opportunity to try some Haida-style art (not strictly from the tribal area the fic is set in but I've loved the style for years). There was so much more I wanted to illustrate, the story is full of lovely imagery but sadly I ran out of time....

Thanks to reapertownusa for putting on this lovely challenge and single-handedly modding (is that a word?) us all!

As always, first is the banner to tempt you over to the Fic Masterpost HERE.  PDF download with art HERE!

 
This is going to be an image intensive post! There is nothing spoilery in the art as far as plot, just characters.

I did two portraits - one of Dean and one of Coyote (in one of his human incarnations).
