- A big THANK YOU to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
namichan89 for all the fun we had during these two months. I love how enthusiastic and fun you were!! (and guess what, we are doing it again because namichan89 is one of my two RBB authors! She's has already written 9200 words!! 
)
- Don't forget that the art below is spoilery for the fic so read the fic first!! Otherwise, no warning. For once, the art is cute, no blood, no gore, no character death.

THE ART
1) Poster Art
2) Hello Neighbor!
3) Jenseeeeeeeen!!
4) AWwwWwWwW!
5) To the Moon!!
6) He made it!!
7) Glad to see you back, Misha
8) Together at last (color draft for the above art, Glad to see you back Misha)
Bonus) For the fun: Misha's Mother. (She doesn't appear in the fic AT ALL but as it's a Despicable Me!AU and that Gru's Mother was an important character in the movie, I couldn't resist to draw what Mish's mother would look like)

ART POST Q & A
How many minions?
A lot. If I didn't make any mistake, I drew 35 minions. It's far more than what I expected.
Tools of the trade
- Photoshop CS4
- Painter 12
- Photography
- Font: Keep on Truckin'
You said you used photography in your work in the "Tool of the trade" section, how did you do it?
I used photographies for some elements of the background for He made it!!, the picture where Jared and Jensen are together. I didn't want to do the line-arting of the buildings so I used a mix between this Photoshop action and the Find Edges filter in Photoshop (Filters >> Stylize >> Find Edges). It's like creating your very own screentones from a photo. It saves times even if I am not a very big fan because the quality depends a lot on the original photo.
Is it me or I saw characters from your previous RBB in this DCBB drawing?
Huh..yes..Maybe..*cough*. It's a thing I do quite often in my art: I hide stuff that have nothing to do there. It's called an Easter Egg. The thing I prefer hiding are the Del Montes, very cute creatures created bydragonspell and I for the 2010 spn_reversebang. They look like green peas with eyes, mouths and arms. They became my trademark and they appear sometimes in my art like for example the Poster Art for my 2012 spn_j2_bigbang, where you can see a tiny tiny Del Monte hidden under Jared bed sheet, at the bottom right of the picture.
I hid some of them in this DCBB (my author loved the principle). Will you be able to find them in the following artworks? (it's very obvious for some of them, far less for at least 2)
- Hello Neighbor!
- Jenseeeeeeeen!!
- AWwwWwWwW!
- He made it!!
You can find the answers HERE.
Voilà!
I hope you enjoyed the art and the fic!

Awesome!!!

I'm really happy you enjoyed the colors. It was easy to have fun with color (if you read the fic, you'll understand what I mean ^^)

I worked on my Art Master Post banner today! I will send it to you tonight. I am waiting a bit to work your Fic Master Post banner though. It will be a Jared and Jensen one so I am waiting to read more J2 scenes to come up with something really original.
I loved working on Despicable Misha. I could have fun with the Minions but also with the colors. It's a story that needed colorful, VERY colorful art to go with it! ^o^
Thank you so much ♥

Date: 2012-10-15 11:15 am (UTC)I don't draw cute stuff very often, I am much more into angsty art full of blood and gore so I am really happy you found these art pieces adorable. I really enjoyed working on all these drawing, particularly the Minions. I can't believe I drew 35 of them.
I loved the movie too! I can't tell you how many times I saw it xD

Date: 2012-10-15 11:11 am (UTC)I drew 35 of them xD I kept adding Minions after Minions because there were so many of them in the movie. When I counted how many Minions I drew, I couldn't believe they were 35 xD
Thank you so much for your kind words about my DCBB art!
I'm really happy you loved the one called "AWwWwWWw" (IDK how many W) because I had a lot of fun working on that one, particularly because of the Minion at the bottom left. ^^;;

Poster Art: LOLOL Misha's faaace! xD Also, Jensen's outfit in the background! XD I really love the colors in this, everything is so bright ^o^ I want this poster on my wall hehee
Hello Neighbor!: Hee~ This one's so sweet and I love the details and warm colors! ^^ And oh what's that little thing beside the tiger! I see you! XD
Jenseeeeeeeen!!: Oh it's adorable, you lucky minion! And yay I found the del monte behind the leaf ^^
AWwwWwWwW!: I'll just stare and aww like that little guy over there :p Also that wine bottle haha xD
To the moon!: ooh scruffy Misha! X) I love the blue-purple color theme here!
He made it!: Whoa! Amazing amount of details! It really shows your patience when you make people as backgrounds! I especially love Jared's smile here ^^ And hey a smallworld shirt! I want one too!
Glad to see you back, Misha: What a colorful night ^^ And I love the details you did for the house too! So much patience +_+

Date: 2012-10-15 11:48 am (UTC)Poster Art: The costume Jensen is wearing is the one of Vector, the nemesis of Gru in the movie. I loved this orange sweater. It looked SO ridiculous.
Hello neighbor: Ha! Ha! You saw the little one hidden behind the tiger shaped cake! xD Well played! ^^
Jenseeeeeen: I think that a lot of people would like to be where this Minion is. It's an enjoyable position, I think ^^
AwwWwWWw: Oh yes, the wine bottle, I wrote "Chateau Minion" on the bottle. I didn't care that people couldn't read it, I knew it was there and it made me laugh :)
To the Moon: This one really makes me laugh. It was like drawing a giant chibie
He made it: Too many details, far TOO many details. I always promised "NEVER AGAIN", no more crowd, and guess what? I drew a crowd again!
Glad to see you back Misha: Yes, I drew all the details of the house. ;___; The fic describes a kiss in front of Misha's house so I had to draw the house. I wanted a cute house so to find a reference photo I googled "cute house" xD
Together at last: It's incredible that this piece is everybody's favorite O___o It was just a draft I fixed in two hours for Tumblr to promote the fic. I love the Minion in the foreground ^^
Misha's Mother: She really looks like her son, huh? I couldn't help it. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it xD
Thank you so much for your super comment about my art!! ^o^
I am sure you are going to enjoy the fic! It's funny, cute and very well written! ♥
