{Big Bang Art Post!}

It's

spn_j2_bigbang time again!

I got to create art for the amazing In a Faraway Land You'll Find Yourself, by the equally fabulous

dugindeep. I have no willpower against J2 AUs that involve world-building and giant dogs ♥

These are all full size versions of some of the banners at the top of each chapter - go read the fic for context and more art!

Jensen saying hello to Sadie, his steed for the journey. I just wanted to draw a giant dog :D

The White Palace! In my head it's the love-child of Camelot and Hogwarts.

Jared in his armour, ready for battle. My references came from Google, Merlin, and me just making things up, so any inaccuracies are entirely my fault.

Happy endings ♥

Now, if you haven't already, go read the fic!

Eee, thank you so much! I had a really good reference of him in that pose but it is an odd angle, so I'm thrilled it works :D

Oh this is just fabulous! I love your style, and the likenesses are really accurate. Wonderful colouring and composition. Jared as a knight is so cool, and Jensen with Giant!Sadie is just glee-inducing. Fantastic job with this! :-D

Your art is just AWESOME. And LOL The first thing I thought when I saw Jared WAS ARTHUR. That is just epic.

Jared's armour is pretty much Arthur's with some extra bits tacked on, so YAY and THANK YOU :D

Good Lord, girl! You are so talented. This work is amazing. I can't decide if I like the last one or Jared in armour best. It's a tie! I can live with that. Amazing work! Congratulations!

This is WAY pretty. I love the landscape one (those trees, OMG!!! the sky, holy crap!!!) and the armor one (particularly Jared's face) the most.

jenilees on June 15th, 2010 03:44 pm (UTC)

Wow these are just gorgeous! I love them all. Sadie and Jensen is awesome, the castle, and of course Jared as a knight! But really, it's the joy of being together that you've captured in the last one of the boys, that pushes it over the top to number one for me. That one is amazing. The boys personalities shine through and it's so happy feeling it makes me smile when I look at it.

Thank you so much! I love the way Jensen and Jared are total dorkfaces for each other, so I'm absolutely thrilled that picture manages to convey that :D

dugindeep had been telling me how lucky she was to have you and I've gotta say I agree completely! WOW, you have some serious talent! these are such a joy to look at, I can't stop staring ♥ I love the colouring, love how accurate the boys look, your attention to detail is fantastic! Silly maybe but their hair is perfect!! Your last pic just does stuff to me. Seriously. Wow. ♥

The artwork is wonderful. That last picture is my favorite!

In my head it's the love-child of Camelot and Hogwarts.
Best picture description EVER! *laughs* Thank you for helping me to see the palace in my head. I love stuff like that.

Okay, upon reading the summary, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to give this one a go or not, but your art has convinced me that I have to read this story, because Giant!Sadie & Sir Jared? I need those things in my life! XD

Also, these are all really beautiful, but that last banner is pure love. ♥

These are lovely! I'm really impressed with the way you captured the likeliness to the actors. I never manage to do that, so you really got my respect here :)

wow, I'm stunned... Jared in his armor just looks like Arthur from "Merlin" only more carefree and the last one is just adorable. Really great work, just go now and start with reading the fic.
