Art Notes:

In early Oct 2019, a section of the creator community held/organized a fandom charity auction to help out a fellow creator who had fallen on hard times (for more info on the past auction click here). I offered three commissions towards the auction. Paula was gracious enough to bid for and win my 1st offer for $30.

The details of that offer was: One title card and one illustration for a fic.

Because life events and burnout got in the way we didn't finish talking out all the particulars, but I just decided to go ahead and make two illustrations for now, and if the particulars ever get fleshed out in the future, I'll do the official title card and illustration that more closely fits the story of the scene and overall feel that Paula would like to be depicted from the fic.

So these works are more a placeholder. I made these because it's always been in the back of my mind for 5 years now to complete the offer because that was 30 dollars donated with nothing given from my side to show for it. So at least now it has something to show for it even if it's not the official work that was supposed to be done.

WIP Screenshots:

This was the first sketch idea that I abandoned because I felt like I didn't know how to actually make it and Jared's face would be mostly hidden, which was not a good thing in my book. I succeed more with Jared's face than I do with Jensen. So I had no confidence going in for this idea:

I ended up settling for a sketch of mer!Jared in the water and then I later thought that just doing Jared wasn't fair so I made another canvas for a Jensen fisherman companion piece to the mer!Jared one. Also, I tried to make Jared look 14-ish because I was told Jensen was around 18 in the fic, but up to the view if the attempt translated well. And this is the wip of both of those:

The mer!Jared illustration obviously was more intricate so that process took longer and had more wip screenshots than the Jensen one. I admittedly was getting burnout when working on Jensen's so I took some shortcuts with the t-shirt decal and the bags and containers surrounding Jensen. I just found some images on google and traced them instead of eyeballing it which saved me time and effort that would have made the burnout worse to the point that I might have finishing this work a lot later than now. So I'm not upset or ashamed about doing it for that reason.

I started this project around Feb 8th this year and finished it all March 14th (today). And that's it for now. Thank you for getting this far and-

Enjoy, if you can!♥♥♥

tag yourself: summer moods

Circus: worn pieces of fabric, sore and bandaged hands, ropes burning skin, fraying costumes, warm lights, colorful tents, unexplained trinkets, masks of makeup, porcelain figures, the smell of popcorn and candy, painted wood, human figures that don’t look human

Mountains: fresh breezes, sitting on the porch, rough sketches, climbing rock formations, bright eyes, avoiding the future, stargazing, melting ice cream, sandy lakes, wood cabins, bittersweet memories, running barefoot on pavement, staying in your own little world

Bedroom floor: wiling the hours away, staring at the ceiling, wanting to write but not knowing the words, blaring music, ignoring texts, falling into stupor, hiding from the world, afraid of the future, a sense of dread, scrolling aimlessly through the internet, messy hair from the heat

Dreaming: dancing in the rain, catching fireflies, staring at pictures of the stars, writing stories, wanting to do everything and nothing all at once, talking to yourself, writing letters to your future self, memories of past lovers, climbing the tallest trees around, looking out the window

Family home: listening to droning conversations, black and white photos, white sundresses, stories of the past, old family records, uncomfortable secrets, unbearable humidity, engraved silverware, the hum of air conditioning, withering flowers, polishing gravestones

dappled evening sunlight. 1950s spanish music. wind blowing through the leaves of the willow tree. the smell of food cooking. pages rustling as you turn them. jasmine blossom. nectarines.
