The Line Art




The Reference Pic




So this was my first attempt at both doing chibi art and using Photoshop, which explains the simplicity of the coloring. My hat's off to all the talented and amazing artists in fandom that excel at Photoshop! If you have never used it before, it is both addicting and fun as well as frustrating and tedious. Next time I will try experimenting with shading and texture brushes. Woo!

AWWWW. This is ADORABLE! I should be honored for popping your coloring cherry, huh? ;)

I love the colors (partly because Dean looks like a pissed off elf) and their expressions are priceless. For some reason, I really love Sam's boots, but I can't really say why. AND DEAN'S FRECKLES. Sigh, one of my favourite parts about chibis is that more often than not, Dean's got a smattering of freckles. The whole scene could really work for a fic! *cough*hinthint*cough*

tl;dr - thank you, I loved this! <333

Yay, I am so happy you liked it! Y'know I never really thought about Dean as a pissed elf, but I can totally see that now! lmao That reminds me where's my grumpyelf!jensen fic goddammit!!!! You want fic you gotsta bring me some!

I love Dean/ Jensen with his freckles (and glasses cuz that's just so damned.... guhn!)

As for the coloring... next time I am bringing my crayons! ;)

Thanks again!

Very cute and its awesome that you're learning something new - especially cuz its something you can use to add to the fandom lol. Its so wrong that I read Photoshop and immediately think "hmmm potential porn". But hey, combine your fics AND Photoshop talent - imagine what you'd come up with!! ;)

\O/ Thanks!

A commendable first attempt at chibis and coloring. The cleaned up line art looks lovely. Also, if you're having trouble with the texture on the paper showing up in the scan, you can fiddle with the levels to remove it.

Aww thank you very much, that means a lot. I really want to play around with things and see what each does, brushes, pallets, and the like. Don't get me wrong, I like the end result, it just kind of reminds me of an animation cell. lol I will have to mess with layers a bit more too, I think I accidentally colored over one of the un-cleaned up line art versions I had.*facepalm* Live and learn, right?

Thanks again for your help with this, you are beyond fabulous!
