Gorlassar’s Art Archive: SPN

Basically what it says on the tin. This is an art archive so I can safely delete all the SPN from my main blog for my own sanity’s sake.

Here you’ll find art, asks, headcanons, and random SPN nonsense that were created and posted between 2014 and 2018 [just minus all the adult stuff because the censor bot went ham on my account].

It was a good 4 years. Over and out.

[gorlassar]

Helpful demons. Just something quick and fluffy.

*incoherent crying* u made Crowley speak in Scottish Gaelic *sobs*

I did!

…it’s been a thing I’ve wanted to do with him Foooorever but I have to rely on dictionaries and language sites as I know no Gaelic. Also, finding Scottish Gaelic over Irish is a pain in the ass.

[Didn’t mean to make you cry though, I sorry!]

-Halloween/TrickOrTreat/Beggar’s night shenanigans- 5th year of this nonsense…Super Villians this time.

Last year’s Beggar’s Night Parade

[gorlassar]

Took my own advice over the summer and tried emulating different styles to try to break out of my art block. Didn’t QUITE work? But it was fun.

And yes, I super love Don’t Starve too.

Supernatural’s the reason

Last update on this disaster. They are indeed cracking down on fanart:

So apparently I’m never getting that account back, but somehow they’re encouraging multiple accounts by suggesting I sign up again instead of giving me back my original account. Grade A logic there. 

I get that fan art treads a slippery line, but this heavy handed handling of it is rather brutal. 

*sigh*  Mystery solved at least, but god damn that sucks.

[gorlassar]

Whelp

Apparently my Society 6 account has been suspended.

Not sure what happened…dunno if I tagged something wrong and it redflagged me, they’re starting to crack down on fan art, or if I got reported for stealing my own art [this has happened before].

Emails have been written, so we’ll see what happens.

I would move over to Redbubble, except they removed 7 pieces I uploaded for ‘copyright infringement’ [yes, I realize that’s what fanart is]. But at least they just remove the piece instead of suspending your whole account.

Just bad timing though as I was trying to update the poor thing.

Well then…

[and-then-theres-that]

That’s disgusting. I’ve been there with Etsy and it’s difficult to find a middle ground, though I’ve never been completely banned before. If you have the money, you can make a store using wix or godaddy, but without heavy traffic you lose more than you get

[gorlassar]

It’s definitely ugly, that’s for sure

Haven’t been there with Etsy…yet [sorry you have]. I’m somewhat expecting the other shoe to drop and get banned from every store I have now.

The main problem is that places like Society 6 and Redbubble are print on demand services. They print and ship everything, so all I have to do is upload art and they take care of the rest. Wix or godaddy would require me to not only maintain a website but also try to source and ship prints which is not cheap in my area. And I could only do paper prints, I wouldn’t be able to offer mugs, shirts, and other odd items that these sites do.

[gorlassar]

ONE OF YOUR FANARTS MADE ME SHIP CAIN WITH LUCIFER OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK ily tho

OH NO! I AM SO SORRY!

There’s one I’ve not drawn in awhile. At least I’ve seen some current content for them which is impressive for a rare pair I like…that almost never happens.

[gorlassar]

…why do I spend so much time on dorky dumb things…

This was fun though, inspired by some of the cute doujinshi covers I’ve seen. I need to play with different styles more often.

So glad you're back! :) Do you have any advice for drawing, erm, men shaped like Bobby or Crowley? I'm working on posing, but I realized I'm drawing the same body types for women and men. (And yes it's the same anon who asked for posing advice xD)

Hi again! And thank you! I’m trying to be, we’ll see how long it lasts this time..

Don’t feel bad, most artists find a body type they enjoy drawing and stick with it. I did the same in high school, really wasn’t until I dropped out of my first art college that I started mixing things up.

Given most pose reference and posable models I see are all one type of build, it’s no wonder that it’s hard to vary up body builds when your reference only gives you one guideline. Indie & European comics and animation tend to be the only places I consistently see a lot of variety in character size and age. Even live action tends to lean toward a build and age preference [though it varies by decade].

Found some other artists’ examples of body type variety:ClassyChassiss nargyle Draw with Jazza

But men shaped like Bobby or Crowley you say? Hahahaha…so older? thicker? It’s all good. Pudge generally happens with age, unless you work hard to keep it off or have a crazy high metabolism. Gravity is the other factor as the older you get, the less elasticity your skin has, so there is much drooping in both genders.  

Best advice is try a figure drawing class in your region if you can. 

[gorlassar]

Feeling too lazy to give it a proper coloring…kinda like the effect though.

Benny Laffitte from Supernatural for @somekind-of-qu33n [sorry if you changed your user name] Palette #26  [do NOT try to request one, they’ve all been claimed]

[rayhne]

All my lovely charms! Plus 3 lovely sketches, two of which are hidden due to Blind Trust spoilers.

[gorlassar]

You have no idea how happy I was when I heard these arrived safely…I was really worried they took a detour to Japan again [had one going to Australia that decided to take the long scenic route].

[gorlassar]

…slowly getting back to normal…

[gorlassar]

HAPPY VALENTINE’S EVERYBODY!

Silly holiday, but it’s a fun excuse to allow OTPs to be ridiculous.

[gorlassar]

Okay but stubble Crowley kissing bearded bobby sounds great

That’s fine. I think we’ve encountered a “your kink is not my kink” situation and it’s all good. Though…I probably drew him a little scruffier looking in that Reverse!Verse AU

[gorlassar]

Are you going to start drawing your Crowley with more stubble?
