smallworld_incThe 30 day OTP Challenge - Master Post
Welcome to the Master Post of the 30 day OTP Challenge. This challenge is inspired by a list posted by Ericandy on their Tumblr. From August 6th, 2012 and during 30 days I posted on Tumblr one art a day following the prompts below. I chose J2 (Jared/Jensen) as my OTP.
I decided to set the action in College so, all the art pieces listed below can be seen as a kind of College AU story featuring Young!Jared and Jensen. For once, I drew something simple (no kidding!). Simple colors, simple line arting, simple palette (the banner above gives you an idea of the art style of this meme). No way I was gonna draw something über complicated everyday during 30 days. I hope you enjoy it. (The NSFW art are tagged appropriately)
1) Holding hands
2) Cuddling somewhere
3) Gaming/watching a movie
4) On a date
5) Kissing
6) Wearing each others’ clothes
7) Cosplaying
8) Shopping
9) Hanging out with friends
10) With animal ears
11) Wearing kigurumis
12) Making out (nsfw)
13) Eating ice cream
14) Genderswapped
15) In a different clothing style
16) During their morning ritual(s)
17) Spooning
18) Doing something together
19) In formal wear
20) Dancing
21) Cooking/baking
22) In battle, side-by-side
23) Arguing
24) Making up afterwards
25) Gazing into each others’ eyes (nsfw)
26) Getting married
27) On one of their birthdays
28) Doing something ridiculous
29) Doing something sweet
30) Doing something hot (nsfw)
OTP TRIVIA
Is there a fic that goes with the art?
No, it was just drawn for the 30 day OTP challenge and isn't based on any fic in particular even if it can fit a lot of college!AUs written in this fandom.
I thought that Sam & Dean was your OTP?
I will never be able to choose between J2 and S/D. However, there's a reason why I chose J2: I wanted to draw something cute, something fresh, something happy. If I had chosen Sam and Dean I KNOW it would have been dark, dark, dark even on prompts that can seem pretty joyful. I enjoy drawing death!art a bit too much so you can be sure that if the art above had Sam & Dean in it, I would have killed the boys at least 6 or 7 times. Better some cute J2, huh? ^^
Is there any particular reason why J2 have the numbers 23 and 82 on their respective shirt?
Nope! It's just that I liked those particular numbers with this font. For a question of coherence, the boys kept the same numbers on their clothes until the last art of the challenge but it's just because I thought it looked good. Don't try to find any particular meaning or reference to "23" and "82".
Tools of the trade?
Photoshop CS4. Line art with a hard default brush set to 5px. Color with the paint bucket and a bit of gradients to make everything less boring.
I hope you enjoyed this challenge!

Date: 2012-08-07 06:35 am (UTC)When I see the length of the list, I can't believe I signed up for this. It means I'm going to draw 60 characters in 30 days. However, I can't wait to draw some prompts like Genderswapped and Cosplaying ^^
Thanks a lot for dropping by ♥

Date: 2012-08-07 06:39 am (UTC)However don't expect something sophisticated. It won't have the quality of a Big Bang art for instance. It's going to be very simple, the same style as the banner above. :D

Date: 2012-08-07 07:31 am (UTC)THESE ARE INCREDIBLE, CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!
*squee*
and since I have tons of High School AUs ideas pending, maybe I will be lucky enough to write something that goes with your drawings and you'll agree to let me use them as artno subject
Date: 2012-08-07 04:52 pm (UTC)I post at around 11:00pm- Midnight (France time) so even if it's a bit too late for you, you can find a new drawing everyday when you wake up ^^
Oh, yes, please, feel free to write something if you want but wait for the end of the challenge. So many things are going to happen to Jared and Jensen (cute and nsfw ones ^^) Thanks a lot for dropping by :D

So, so true. But you kill the boys so beautifully.XD
And you know? I've finally figured out who your linework and coloring style most often reminds me of. Richard Amsel (http://www.adammcdaniel.com/RichardAmsel3.htm). &hearts
no subject
Date: 2012-08-07 05:45 pm (UTC)Yes, 30 days! Which means I will draw 60 characters in 30 days. How am I going to manage that? /o\
Richard Amsel? Wow! No, no I don't have the talent of this artist. I love his work. My line work is very basic, very simple, particularly in this kind of art. I wish I could draw like him one day though. Thanks a lot for your kind words and for dropping by ♥

I hope you will enjoy the next ones ^^ There are still 21 pieces of art to go :faint:

Date: 2012-09-08 07:44 am (UTC)If I do it again, it won't be a 30 day challenge because it was too much xD Maybe the same one but without the prompts I didn't like like "Wearing animal ears" or "wearing kigurumi". I would like to reduce it to a 15 day OTP challenge and draw something less cute. :)

no subject
Date: 2012-09-05 11:03 pm (UTC)I totally laughed and went Awwwww at the Gender swap cause it's so them..
SPOONING!!!!!!! FTW!!! hahahaha Dean is a cat person.. lol I actually kind of thought it was a shout out to Misha since the Minions are all Misha is a cat..
I could go on and on but I'll stop now... GREAT JOB!
no subject
Date: 2012-09-12 11:30 am (UTC)Ha! You noticed the cat! :3
Don't ask me why but in very strange head canon, Jensen is a cat person which doesn't make sense because I think that IRL he has a dog (I am not sure, though)
Glad you loved the genderswap art because it was one of the most difficult to draw. Genderswap are hard! But it's easier to draw J2 than Misha! He is SO hard to genderswap ^^;;

I'm sure you find time to do it eventually even if you don't do the whole 30 prompts :)
Improving, I am not sure. The drawings seem to be quite alike in terms of style to me but I definitely picked up speed as I was going because some things became really automatic like the colors, the characters' feature, the design,etc..

no subject
Date: 2012-09-08 07:49 am (UTC)That's what I wanted ^^ Drawing 30 art pieces that could be seen as one coherent story, as if they were all drawn for a fan fiction ^^

Date: 2012-09-08 07:56 am (UTC)The genderswapped art was really hard to draw. Hell, genderswapped art are ALWAYS hard to draw for me! However, I am glad I didn't have to draw Misha as a woman because it's really, REALLY hard! (I know, I tried ^^;;)

Date: 2012-09-08 07:52 am (UTC)Oh yes, the sheet on the last picture...I didn't want to draw something too, too porny, so I put a sheet on Jared's head but if you look carefully, you will notice that the sheet is transparent and that you can see what is happening underneath xD
