oh uh back with more content unfortunately as I make fanart for my own fic because I'm supremely uncool and very cringe. also I wanted to make mermaid!cas content after finally watching the movie Luca last night which I'm still not normal about I just really love things where a character hides the fact that they're a creature of some sort okay gdfkhjg
behold my horrible attempt at cursive which I never actually learned how to do. this angle is also extremely weird and Cas was supposed to have one hand to his face looking kinda curious but it just looks like he's dabbing and that's all my brain can focus on now :|||
gonna be honest I didn't reread the fic this art is made for and haven't glanced at the fic in about a year so some of the stuff didn't line up with what I wrote, namely where Cas was hooked. in the fic I actually had him hooked in the cheek and not the tail but I didn't remember that or reread the fic until well after the line art was done so uh yeah the fic was changed so now Cas got scratched on the cheek but was hooked in the tailfin instead. the perks of being both the author and artist ig. at least Dean and Cas came out kinda okay here
all I can think about when I look at this is that Cas looks anemic but let's pretend he's supposed to be streamlined to better glide through the water or something and not that I failed at anatomy. beyond that I did try something extremely different with the shading and backgrounds in the art I did for this fic (experimented purely because it's my own fic so there's no author to disappoint lool) but yeah tell me what you guys think since it's pretty different even if it might not be immediately obvious. it's just using different brushes rather than the same kinda flat colors I always do which means less immediate consistency across the art pieces but idk that's not always a bad thing really
the fic this is made for is called "Hooked on You" from the depths on my google drive
