 Three arts for the Supernatural Summer Art Community





What's the concept?

The following arts were drawn for the [livejournal.com profile] spn_summer_art  community. The only requirement the artworks had to meet to be submitted in the comm was they had to be Supernatural fan arts (no RPS) and be visibly related to summer. Gen and/or Slash is allowed as long as it is safe for work. I submitted three arts, one of Sam and Dean, one of Dean and Castiel and one of Young!Dean.

You are officially perfect. NOT ONLY IS THIS BEAUTIFUL, BUT YOU WENT AND PUT THE PICTURE PROMPT ON SAM'S SHIRT. *_* Loooove that detail. This whole thing is incredible, I adore how idyllic the background is. Nice to think that even Sam and Dean get lovely little moments like this.

Now I am going to go have dirty thoughts about Dean's mouth dripping juice and Sam's response to that. ;)

Thank you so much ♥
The shirt was actually the starting point. I wanted to use the prompt picture in my art but I didn't know if I was gonna put it on a board, a poster, etc.. Finally I thought about a Tshirt ^^ Don't ask me why I thought it was much more Sam's style.

Now I am going to go have dirty thoughts about Dean's mouth dripping juice and Sam's response to that. ;)
I tried not to draw too many water drops on the corner of his mouth to prevent people from having dirty thoughts but I failed ^o^ You are the 3rd or 4th comment telling me about the juice dripping from Dean's mouth xD

Thanks a lot for the lovely comment about my art ♥

Oh really? It's the skin? My dad is allergic too, each time that he wants to eat a peach, my mum has to get rid of the peach's skin for him xD
Your icon is hypnotizing!! I'm in love of this rabbit ♥
Thank you so much :D

Ahhh two beautiful arts in one day?! XD
The colors are wonderful, and you have pretty background too! :D But I especially love how you drew their faces, you nailed them right on (again)! ^^ ♥

And a step-by-step is always a great addition to any of your art posts! Thank you for including this :D

Ahhh two beautiful arts in one day?! XD
It's a special offer, two for the price of one ^^ In fact this art is pretty "old": I sent to to the mods about 3 weeks-one month ago for this challenge.
I must admit I cheated for the background. I didn't draw it, I found it in an anime website and reworked it (a lot)
I'm gonna submit a second art but I think you already saw it, it's Dean and Castiel in vacations ^^

Thanks a lot for the great comment about my work ♥

PS: I saw Xmen first class on Friday. I am maybe reading too many slash fics but when I saw the movie I had the feeling to read a big Eric/Charles fic. The subtext is very..visible :D

This is so sweet; it really makes me want to eat a peach! :3 I love everything in this picture, the lighting, the contrasting colors of Dean and Sam's shirts, that Sam is wearing a t-shirt with "fresh peaches" on it, that he has his arm sweetly over Dean's shoulder and they're holding the same peach! ♥__♥ I love Dean's small little smile, and that Sammy's looking right at the camera. (Er, does one say "camera" in a situation like this? -___-;;; Anyway, I like that he's looking right to the audience while Dean's looking off to the side).

It's also really cool to see how the picture slowly evolved into the finished product. I always appreciate that in your posts. Thanks for putting so much effort into your art and into your posts about it! :D It's awesome! Not sure I've ever commented before...but I love all of your stuff! And I resolve to comment in the future, like an upstanding member of the fandom should. :)

(Er, does one say "camera" in a situation like this?
IDK but I understood perfectly what you wanted to say, so no problem ;) I think that "camera" is the perfect word here :3

You are the 5th "peach craving" of the post ^^ People are really going to hate me for that ^^;;

I love explaining how I reach the final result. That's why I opened a LJ in the first place. I couldn't post tutorials on DA. I did it on Tumblr once or twice but it's not convenient so when I have to explain something in details I do it on LJ. However I'm not sure I'm gonna have the time to do it for the Big Bang :/ I hope to be on time but it's really hard ><
Thanks again ^^

The sunlight adds a lot to the drawing. Without it, it's a little bit too "flat" and pale so I knew from the start I wanted to use this effect. :3

I love your use of gradients here. It gives the coloring a semi-transparency almost akin to copic markers. And the idyllic background is wonderfully bright and perfectly summery!

From: [identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com
I don't use gradients a lot in my drawings because my PS software has a bug. When I want to use the magic wand, sometimes, it closes so it's boring for me to use the gradient tool and to erase all the undesired part with the eraser :/ However, for once I was patient enough to do it ^^
Thanks a lot for the comment Maichan ♥

As a Georgia girl myself, I definitely appreciate this picture! The artwork is amazing, and I love how they're both sweating, haha. It's pretty much impossible to be outside in GA during the summar and not immediately start sweating XD. I'm going to pretend they're at a farm near where I used to live.

If a Georgia girl thinks that the setting and the atmosphere of the art is OK, then it must REALLY be ok ^o^
Thank you so much for your comment and for giving me details about Georgia. I've never been there so I tried to improvised a bit with this art ^^;;

Oh man, this is so pretty. I absolutely adore the colors. <3

If you don't mind, I wanted to ask you about Manga Studio. I've been thinking about getting it myself, but I saw that there are two versions. If you don't mind me asking, which one are you using?

Date: 2011-07-03 07:38 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com
If you don't mind me asking, which one are you using?
I'm using Manga Studio Debut. I took some photos of the cover on my french blog:
http://blog.gamekult.com/blog/vonapplestrudel/189281/achats-logiciel-manga-studio-debut.html

The EX version has a big asset compared to the debut version (I didn't know it when I bought the Debut version). You can create 3D models on a 3D software like "Google sketch up" and include the 3D image in your manga studio document by resizing it, rotating it, etc. It means that for instance, you don't have to redraw the set on each panel! ^^ If it's not clear, look at this comic drawn by made-of-tin:
http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/LittleTinSoldier/DeanCasBigBang/sb5.png
She didn't "draw" the set in every frame. She create it once in a 3D software, imported the document in MS, made the set rotate according to the angle (= perspective) of the scene and..voilĂ ! Of course, it doesn't change her great talent as an artist but the possibility of using 3D models in MS is amazing. The Ex version is more expensive. If it's just for inking the debut version is more than enough but if you want to use it for a more sophisticated comic, the EX is better :D

PS: Ok, my explanation is maybe not very clear, so here is a YT tutorial ^^;; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOPdIsgQWRQ

Thanks a lot for the comment about my drawing ♥
