Time for another SPN_J2_Bigbang[profile] spn_j2_bigbang! I thought I'd have a quick look back and I've been doing this challenge since 2011 and done 16 artings for different fics, making this art for a cute J2 story by SamAndDean76 [profile] samanddean76my 17th! Without further ado....

My second SPN cinema is a collab with my frequent and awesome partner in crime, [personal profile] amypond45. It was her choice of movie but I knew I was in good hands, and as always, it was a pleasure to come up with some images for her story. I don't think any of the art is spoilery.

As usual, I didn't do as much as I'd have liked, but it is what it is. At least, unlike amypond, I wasn't battling covid while working on this!

Process
I did the Jared portrait first - pencil sketch, inked with fineliners then coloured with Ohuhu alcohol markers. No idea what I'm doing with the markers so I was pleased how it turned out!

The banner is also a pen and ink drawing, with a touch of coloured ink, then I added text and background digitally
The traditional art version is below.

Title: Wake up, Jensen
Movie Prompt: The Matrix Resurrections
Pairing: J2
Rating: T
Media: Traditional art
Summary: Without giving too much away since the film is still current, there's one scene in the movie where a character wakes up inside one of the alien pods (think of the previous movies). It was a really striking visual, and I wanted to see it recreated but with Jensen in the pod. In my mind Neo's equivalent would be Jared, Jensen would be Trinity, but if you'd rather imagine it the other way round, go for it!
Notes: Many thanks to [personal profile] quickreaver for the art beta - always so helpful!

Yes! It's time for another art post... this time for the [livejournal.com profile] j2_reversebang. The story by [livejournal.com profile] herminekurotowa brings an earlier meeting between Jensen and Jared to a more satisfactory conclusion (you don't need to read the earlier story to understand this one, though!)

For once I don't have much to say about this - I was experimenting with Procreate on my iPad, and really liked how this digital paint turned out. I liked the messiness and dynamism, and that the colouring was rather different from my usual. I thought it might be a cool prompt for a story, and sure enough, mina has done me proud!

For my first piece I went with a good old fashioned adventure comic feel, so I hope that comes across.
It's a scene from early in the story but might still be considered a little spoilery.

Title: Saviour
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] amberdreams
Author: [livejournal.com profile] madebyme_x
Movie Prompt: A Quiet Place
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating of art: PG13
I was chatting about spn_cinema with the lovely madebyme_x some months ago, and we thought a collaboration might be fun. She suggested this film that I've never seen but sounded full of potential.
It was!

I was lucky enough to snag an awesome prompt to pinch hit for in the spn_reversebang - I mean, how could I resist the chance to work with the famous cassiopeia7, or this fabulous and fun picture? :D
R1006 Casaeopia
This is the original prompt - you'll need to visit the art masterpost to enjoy the full glory! (Link coming soon!)

Title: J2’s Excellent Supernatural Adventure
Artist : cassiopeia7
Words : ~6700
Rating : R (for swearing)
Characters/pairing : AU Jensen, AU Jared, with eventual J2 hinted at, Amara, Chuck, Bobby, Rufus
Summary : Across the multiverses, Sam and Dean Winchester’s story has a significance they are blissfully unaware of. In one of those many universes, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are preparing to audition for parts in a brand new show called Supernatural.

A big smoochy thank you to zara_zee and firesign10 for speedy last minute beta jobs! All remaining errors are down to me.



Jensen scanned the script for the umpteenth time. He moistened his lips, a nervous habit he’d never been able to break, then wished he’d remembered to shove some lip balm in his jacket pocket.

Title: Per aspera ad astra
Author: Me!
Movie Prompt: Starman
Pairing: Sam/Jensen
Rating: R
Word Count: ~10800
Summary: An alternative to the last third of Season 3’s Mystery Spot. Months after Dean’s final death in a parking lot in Florida, Sam is on the road hunting the Trickster. The last thing Sam is expecting is a genuine alien encounter, but that is what he gets.

Notes: This spn_cinema story originally landed in my head like the Starman on Earth, in an amorphous but promising form. This is not a straight re-telling of the Starman story with Sam as Jenny and Jensen as the Starman – it’s a SPN interpretation, but hopefully it’s faithful to the spirit of the film, and to SPN!
Per aspera ad astra means ‘through hardship to the stars’.

Acknowledgements: Tons of thanks to jdl71 and dollarformyname for a truly last minute beta job. You guys helped tidy up this mess so much! You are both shining stars. Of course, I added stuff after they did their thing, so all mistakes and suckiness are totally mine.

Title: Awakening
Authors: amberdreams & blackrabbit42
Artist: dollarformyname
Words: 10600
Rating: mild NC17
Warnings: Mischeivous Misha, evil Mark Pellegrino
Summary: Jensen's job as Captain of Empress Danneel's Imperial Guard is a privileged position, if a little dull compared to being one of Overlord Misha's Minions. Jensen kind of likes dull, but his life is about to get a whole lot more interesting with the arrival of a new recruit, Ensign Padalecki.

AWAKENING-banner-main



My third j2_reversebang happens to be fic. This bang allows art to be claimed by more than one writer, and when blackrabbit42 and I exchanged ideas after claiming, we found that we'd both had really similar ideas about the prompt. So we decided to team up and write together. We had a lot of fun bouncing ideas around, but RL kicked all our asses so this isn't as fleshed out a story as we'd have liked to have given our lovely artist. I mean, just LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL ART!!! We are so lucky.

Plus firesign10 is being a hero and betaing the fic, but the version that's up at the moment is effectively un-beta'd because we ran out of time. It will be updated as soon as we get a chance!

Net Asset Value

Title: Net Asset Value
Words: ~9000
Pairings: Jared/Jensen, brief Jeff/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: A flashback death happens. Unbetaed!
Summary:  The Firm calls them assets, and treats them accordingly. The asset known as Michael Godson, whose real name is Jensen Ackles, thinks he understands the game, right up to the moment he realises he’s about to be liquidated in the only way the Firm knows.

Happy birthday zara_zee!!! Hope you like this...

Title: Unchain my Heart on the East Side Line
Giftee: raths_kitten
Gifter: amberdreams
Pairing/Characters: Jensen/Jared, minor OCs
Word Count: ~7300
Rating: NC-17

Warnings: Um - swearing, sex, the usual...

Summary: In which Jared is a lonely depressed guy recently moved to New York City. Jared is weighed down with guilt in a dead end job, and Jensen is a mystery to be solved.

Author’s note: For any New Yorkers, I’ve taken liberties with the life of City Hall station. It is visible from the Line #6 train that does a loop through there in order to turn round after terminating at Brooklyn Bridge. You can book an expensive and generally sold out tours of the station, so it’s not closed all the time. But for the purposes of this story, this station is inaccessible, and Jared is travelling on the #5 line.

Huge thanks to zara_zee for the swift and thorough beta which caught a lot of inconsistencies and daft mistakes!

Title: The Three Musketeers
Movie Prompt: Hee hee! oh guess what, it's The Three Musketeers
Pairing: None for the art
Rating: PG-13

jj1564 and I were going to work together on this one for spn_cinema, but sadly my partner in leather and lace had to pull out of the challenge. I'm hoping this piece will provide her with some inspiration to finish her story, because I want to read it!

I got to work with the lovely and talented non_tiembo_mala on this spn_cinema - a revisting of The Bourne Identity with Jensen as Bourne.
We both managed to get in a few muddles over posting dates and I confused her even more by sending her the wrong art all together, but yay! We made it.

j2_crack's Halloween Meme had this tempting prompt by  meus_venator
Jensen/Jared - undercover dragon
Jared was a struggling not for profit lawyer, and he was excellent at his job. He also happened to be a dragon. No, not the huge, size of a barn kind, well he could be that big if he willed it, but he could also take the form of a more human sized dragon if he wanted, which was what made Halloween one of his most favourite times of the year.
His only real 'tell' when he was in human form, was sometimes when he got laughing or got really uncomfortable he started to give off pink and purple sparkly smoke out his nose.
For more years than he can remember he'd been doing quite well in his undercover life, if a little lonely, but just weeks before Halloween a new guy moves into the apartment down the hall and all of Jared's well-meaning plans go out the window

The first of two art posts for the wipbigbang, celebrating writers finishing their shit! Yay!
I was lucky to snaffle herminekurotowa's J2 kidnap fic A Long Quiet River - lots of hurt Jensen plus a mystery, what more could a girl ask for?
Summary: Jensen meets Jared in unluckiest circumstances - as a kidnap victim. But who is the kidnapper?

Due to poor planning on my part, and overloading myself, I ended up with just two main pieces which I then cannibalised into a set.
NB NSFW!
