Welcome to the art post for Despicable Misha, a great fic written for the 2012 deancasbigbang by namichan89. If you want to enjoy the fic, you can do it HERE.
***

- A big THANK YOU to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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 by dragonspell 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!

Wow, I've seen some incredible artists in this fandom, but your artwork just blows me away! I love your style. It's so gorgeous! The way you use light is fantastic! This is just amazing.

While I checked up the artist draft deadline post and saw that you drew about... 10 pieces for the story I was in shock. I have no idea how you managed to be this incredibly efficient and fast while maintaining the high quality standards that you have in each piece. :)

The poster is really adorable, I love the chapter banners because the minions have the most incredibly adorable designs ever. I adore the atmosphere you have in each piece, it feels incredibly cosy and warm. I LOVE Jared's face in that one picture with his arm slung around Jensen and the piece I adore the most is Together at Last. The happiness radiating from the both of them as well as your colour choices. Congratulations on finishing the challenge!

Gorgeous, wonderful, funny, adorable, sweet, hot, AMAZING art!! You captured Misha, Jensen, and Jared really well, and those minions are freaking adorable! =D

Gorgeous! I love them all. I love the atmosphere the pictures help to create: cozy and warm; it’s perfect for the fic. The minions are ridiculously cute and the way you use the ‘rainbow light’ in pictures 6 and 7 is great ^_^

This was again amazing! I'm so happy that you beat me in the artist claim, because this is fantastic.
And the Easter Eggs? :-) These minions a lot like the Del Montes anyway, so I loved that the "real thing" was there too.

EDIT: And Misha's mother? *rofl*

Thank you for your wonderful art for the wonderful fic. I've just finished reading it, it's incredibly warm and funny, and reading it along with these pictures was still more fun (if it was possible)).

Gorgeous art! I wish I could draw like you, it's just beautiful work.

You're killing me. I need to stop stalking namichan and your account. But I CAN'T. Your art is so fantastic.

I just read the Despicable Me version of linvro21 at http://j2-crack.livejournal.com. It's Jensen/ Jared with many minions and Dr MC. And it's hilarious. So now I'm curious about Despicable Misha. *off to read*
