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!

Hi minions, hi!
And LOL, Mish'as mom! xDDD

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She looks like her son, don't you think? ^^ ha! Ha! ha!
Glad you loved the art!
Thank you so much for your great comment about my art ♥

Ooh! Del Monte Easter egg hunt! I found them all, too. Cute little guys.

Do you have to have watched Despicable Me to understand the fic? I haven't seen it. I'm also not a Jensen/Misha shipper, so I'm not sure yet if this fic is for me, but I still loved your art for it.

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you don't need to have seen the movie. The fic is perfectly understandable even for someone who don't know anything about Despicable Me. I'm sure you are going to enjoy the story! ♥
Thanks a lot for your kind words about my art :D

Thank you so much :D
I must admit that I had a lot of fun while drawing all these illustrations even if I ended up drawing 35 Minions xD

[identity profile] nursethalia.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for sharing this trick! I almost never draw buildings in my backgrounds because they are so difficult to do...

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate drawings buildings like that. There are too many details and it takes ages! I was happy when I found this Photoshop action xD
Glad it helped! ♥

[identity profile] counteragent.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
How have you made this work so well? HOW? :D Seriously, this sort of cracky story should come off as entirely incomprehensible in art form, but you've made it something amazing.

I love them all, but my favorite is the AwwwwW and the He Made It! I like the lighting and the pose of the Asww and the coloring and perspective of the HMI especially.

Awesome!!!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's the contrary! It was so easy designing this art for this fic! There are so many great scenes, the fic and the film Despicable Me itself were very inspirational. I can't even describe the fun I had drawing all these Minions everywhere. xD
Thanks a lot for your great feedback about my art.
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 ^^)

[identity profile] deanvica23.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
magnifique comme toujours. Je suis trop les fics jensen misha mais j'irais jeter un oeil. Avec la police blanche j y vois pas grand chose

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Merci beaucoup!
La fic est vraiment très bien, très sympa, je suis sure que tu vas aimer même si c'est Jensen/Misha ♥

Let's make it official :D
Thank you so, so very much for picking my fic and creating these wonderful pictures for it <3 I love every single one of them and you know how I went nuts about the delmontes :D
Oh, and I'm looking forward to our continuing collaboration on the RBB!

*highfive*

Oh, and I'm looking forward to our continuing collaboration on the RBB!
Me too! ^o^
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 ♥

OMg Miiinions <3 Your art is amazing!

35 Minions! xD
I can't believe I draw so much xD
Thank you so much for your kind words about my art.
I love your icon, it's SO cute! ♥

I don't ship Misha/Jensen in the slightest but your art is delightful. And the minions totally stole the show! Much love! <3

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's like in the movie: the Minions steal the show xD They are irresistible. I can't wait for Despicable Me 2 ^^
Thank you so much for your kind words about my work.
I'm really happy you enjoyed it even if you don't ship Jensen/Misha. ^^

*g* I have to admit I am not much of an RPS fan in general, but these images are absolutely brilliant and I may make an exception with regards to reading this story.
Great job! I am already looking forward to future SPN fanart from you!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
This fic is so AU that it's hard to see it like a pure RPS, it can be a Dean/Castiel AU xD
I am sure you are going to have fun with it! It's entertaining, cute and full of Minions that drive Misha crazy! ^^
Thank you so much for your kind words about my art ♥

You just get more amazing every post I swear! The minions omg I love them! You captured Jared's laugh so perfect! Honestly I love all the art especially the extra with Mish'as mother!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You cannot even imagine how much I laughed when I drew Misha's Mother. It was my first draft for the fic and when I sent it to my author I was afraid she thought I was completely nuts. ^^;;
Thank you so much for your great feedback about my DCBB art!
I'm very happy you liked it ^^

[identity profile] pro-kira.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
this whole post gives me the warm fuzzies because this movie is adorable and this art is BEYOND ADORABLE and my favorite that just made me all giggles and smiles was jensen and the minion togtether because it just looks perfect and aaaaaaaaaaa ♥

everything about this is stunning and gorgeous and beautiful and just AAAAAA ♥ !!

amazing job, you really really did a fantastic job ♥

Thank you so much for your kind words about my DCBB art!
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

[identity profile] eviljellybean88.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
i love the first one, that one's hilarious and great! XD and i loved finding all of the del montes XD

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
If you found all the Del Montes it means I didn't hide them enough xD
I will do better next time! ^o^
Thanks a lot for your great comment about my art ♥

Best thing ever!!! Just kickass brilliant. The colours & the boys is just stunning!!!

Amazing work

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't imagine not to use bright colors for that one. The story screams "bright colors" at every page, which is good because I love using a completely crazy color palette xD
Thank you so much for your great feedback about my art!
Glad you liked it! :hug:

Very cute minions! (and so many of them - I'm amazed and impressed by the amount of work you put into these!). Misha's expression in the poster art is awesome and funny. I love Jared's face in particular in He Made it - but the whole of that image is so pretty, and aWWWWW (how many W?) is gorgeous! Lovely work!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-15 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
Very cute minions! (and so many of them
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. ^^;;

[identity profile] sammycolt24.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
When I heard you claimed this one, I couldn't wait to see the art! I've seen Despicable Me and these are absolutely adorable> Now I'm off to read the story :)

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you are going to enjoy the fic! It's funny, cute and full of cute Minions ^^
The summary was the last one in the DCBB summary list! I was about to choose a very dark fic and then...I saw this one! Jensen? Misha? MINIONS!! I was SO happy to grab it! ^^

Thank you very much for your great comment about my art.
Glad you loved it so much ♥

This art is amazing. Although the first words I said was "this is sooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute".
Everything is so well detailed and wow your use of colors is just fantastic.

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure that you are going to find the fic very cute too! ^^ I don't draw cute stuff very often. I think it's one of the first time I put zero warnings in my disclaimer. I always have to warn for blood, gore and character death xD
Thank you so much for your kind words about my art! ^o^
Glad you liked it!

[identity profile] artmetica.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
OMG I haven't read the fic yet but I can't take it anymore, your art is killing me with gorgeous!!! I have to flail on these first! X)

Art post banner: Hahaa the minions! xD Precious! Makes me wonder if we're like that too IRL x)
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 +_+
Together at last: Awwww this is my favorite piece! They look so happy together, it makes the pic even more beautiful!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Misha's mother: ROFLMAO! xD awesome rendition! And I don't care if she isn't in the fic, this really completes the Despicable Me AU ;p

Thank you so much for creating these and letting me see them earlier T-T *sniff* Everything you post is my new treasure ^_^

GREAT WORK!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-15 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Art post banner: I think that Misha Minions are like that IRL too xD They love Misha and they are all AwwWwWW and/or excited when they see him. I can relate ^^;;
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! ♥

[identity profile] acollapsngdream.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Gorgeous art as usual. I've always loved the way you draw Jensen, just something about how you see him. ♥ And the fic was cute, I just finished reading it. Your art made it that much more enjoyable.

I LOVE drawing Jensen. I am gonna sound like a complete fangirl but I am never bored when I draw this guy's face. He's really hard to draw, particularly his nose /o\ The bridge of his nose is very hard to get ^^
Thanks a lot for your great comment about my DCBB art ♥

Your art is incredible. I may not much like Despicable Me, (watching it over and over and over and over again with a bunch of little kids will do that to you) but I love your art for this, as well as the little minions that keep popping up all over the place.

*toddles off to go read the fic*

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if you are fed up of Despicable Me, I am sure you are going to enjoy the fic. It has some elements from the original movie but otherwise, it's really a story on its own, very funny and entertaining.
