PART 2 - RANDOM QUESTIONS
 
What's the concept ?

An illustration art for a Sam and Dean fan fic by [livejournal.com profile] dragonspell  called Autum Leaves, here is a quick summary :

In the weak light of early morning, the autumn leaves are starting to paint the woods in reds and golds and a burning orange. On some level or another, Dean knows that it’s beautiful; he does. He's just got to find Sam first.

And "interesting" stuffs ensue, of course. Just in case you were wondering 

What came first, the art or the fic ?

The art! We wanted to collaborate again with DS (god, we are having fun, it should be illegal ) and as I had a draft for this piece of art in stock, it was just the right occasion! However the first version I imagined was very far away from what you have in this post :



It wasn't called Autumn Leaves, it was called Dad will never know and the boys were laying in the grass with the Impala in the background. However, I realized quickly when I started the CG painting that the field wasn't a very good setting. It didn't fit at all with the intimacy of the scene because it's a wide open space. I needed a set where you got the impression that Sam and Dean were like protected by the environment around them (I don't know if I am very clear here...). A forest with bushes, shadows from the trees, and some autumn leaves on the floor was just perfect, not to mention that I could enhance the impression of intimacy even more thanks to shadows and highlights and an orange palette.

However, the first real CG draft I sent to [livejournal.com profile] dragonspell  was a little bit different. The boys were on the edge of a river. DS had the idea of turn the river into a cliff. I added a horizon line and a couple of trees and...voilà!! 

More "smutty"collaborations with [info]dragonspell  in the future ?

Hell yeah! We are currently working on 2 other projects together. Neither the arts nor the fics are finished so I can't tell you when we are going to post but as John Winchester once said "(We are) working on it...."

PART 3 - A VERY SHORT TECHNICAL RAMBLING (for once...)

What software did you use ?

Softwares : Photoshop CS - Painter Essential 3
Tablet : Wacom Graphire 4

How long did it take ?

For once it's hard to tell because I didn't draw it in one or two sessions but in practically one month. I started, dropped, came back to it. I would say around 25 hours I think.

What brushes did you use ?

A lot of useful predefined brushes without which it would have been impossible to draw this damn forest.



Paint over ?

Sam's nose and mouth. I don't paint over faces but here, I lost patience. It happens 
Writing drawing is hard....

Reference photos ?

Yep, be careful, the first one is NSFW :
boys - Sam

Voilà!! Hope you enjoyed this short Art Post!
It's certainly the last art of the year for this account!
See you next year and...au revoir
