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!

\o/ gorgeous!
Hi minions, hi!
And LOL, Mish'as mom! xDDD

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.

These are gorgeous! Totally checking out the fic now. :)

*laughs* These are precious :D Awesome work!

Thank you for sharing this trick! I almost never draw buildings in my backgrounds because they are so difficult to do...

[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!!!

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 ♥

[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 05:28 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

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you are going to enjoy it! It's funny, entertaining and full of cuteness!
Thanks a lot for your great feedback about my DCBB art ♥

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
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] 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] bt-kady.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
In that case, I'll bookmark it and read it when I'm feeling better. Still trying to get over this crud I've got.

I ALWAYS love your art, hon. No matter what it is or the pairing.

[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 ♥

[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 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I didn't mean that as an insult to the fic at all. I LOVE crack fic, and while I haven't read this yet, I am looking forward to doing so.

I meant the fusion of sources and styles implied by crackfic...

:)

[identity profile] hils.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy shit this art is amazing!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I didn't mean that as an insult to the fic at all.

Oh, yes, yes, I understood. I'm sorry if I sounded insulting or aggressive ^^;;
Crack fics are always inspirational, aren't they? I mean, Misha + Jensen + Yellow Minions? How not to be inspired?! xD
If you love crack fics, you are going to really enjoy this one ^^

[identity profile] namichan89.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
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*

OMg Miiinions <3 Your art is amazing!

[identity profile] quickreaver.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww, whimsical and warm and smashing as always, bb!

[identity profile] equally-dour.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't ship Misha/Jensen in the slightest but your art is delightful. And the minions totally stole the show! Much love! <3

*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] shadwrayvn.livejournal.com 2012-10-12 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
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!
