I should probably let Jen claim first comment but I'm GREEDY, so. :P

I looove this so much. Particularly the colors, because of the faded, night-time/dawn quality to them. They blend together nicely.

And the boys! Oh man, the guys are awesome. SO CUTE, I don't even. Jensen sleeping on his arm and Jared wrapped around Jensen and their hair and Jensen's boxers and Jared's hand on Jensen's arm and just. ♥_♥

Seriously, this was awesome to collaborate on. Thanks so much! <3

As your first all digital work this is very nice. Love how Jared is holding Jensen so romantic and sweet. The detail is very good but you are always good at detail.

I love this so much, I like the placement of Jared's hand, it looks so...adorable! Cuddling, wrapped around Jensen. It's perfect for the fic :)

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

You and me both!

Yay, I'm glad you liked it, especially the colors-- since I am still terrified of the digital painting.

Thanks so much for asking me to do this with you, and for all the help you were with every stage of its creation, it is greatly appreciated!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. NGL I was so nervous doing this, especially on such a limited timeframe. :S I am super happy you enjoyed it! ♥

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thanks! J2 spooning was a blast to try and do, I'm glad you approve of the schmoopiness in both the art and the fic.

I left a comment for you on the fic as well, but I'll comment here too. ♥ Thank you. I love everything about this. I'm stealing a bit of trav's comment b/c I'm still a bit \o/ to think clearly and give you a coherent comment. Maybe I can come back later and give you some proper praise. But yeah, the colors, I like the muted tones you used. It does kinda looks like early morning and gives a softness to it which fits perfectly with the tone of the drawing.

I mean sleepy, cuddly boys... I don't even. What's not to love? They're just so CUTE! Seriously, thank you guys both sooo much. This was an awesome gift, really. I love it.

Awwwww! This is so adorable! For a first try, it looks awesome :D

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Why thank ya. <3

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

EEP!!! I am so happy that you liked it! Especially the coloring. I was really nervous when Travis asked me to do this because I have a) never done a colab before and b) never attempted anything 100% digital outside of doodles before. SO I am bouncing for joy that you are pleased. And that fic, adorable or what? We love ya, Happy Birthday, hope you are having a great one. :D

♥♥♥

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment! Is there anything better than schmoopy spooning? :)

[the_rant_girl]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! and also mmmm, I love sleepy boys, and just wow, brilliant work, definitely captures the essense of Trav's story *nods*

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

hehe. Thanks, sweetie. Trav's fic was definitely inspiring.

[mistyzeo.livejournal.com]

So so sweet!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Gracias, mi amiga!

[aidanirl.livejournal.com]

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Yay, just what i was aiming for. Thank you! =]

[fryttu.livejournal.com]

Spooning is my favorite!!! I love the colors and the mood of your art.

[jodean80.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. I love it! Especially the way Jared is holding Jensen. So very cute.

[tygers.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I love how they both barely fit on the couch, and the way that Jared holds onto Jensen's wrist. A perfect match for transfixeddream's story, thanks so much!

[fleshflutter.livejournal.com]

That is beyond adorable. I cannot voice my approval of this strongly enough. <333

[autumn-witch78.livejournal.com]

I already went all "awwwwww" on Trav's LJ lol but anyway...AWWWWW! Sleepy boys being all snuggly and cute together = happy, happy place! I really love the colors and all the little details and and how your art fits the story so so perfectly! This is kinda too awesome for any words I can think of :)

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

That's so cute!

[maichan808.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely, expressive pose. I like the palette choice as well.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Spooning is freaking awesome! I blame the mood and intimacy on transfixeddream, his fic had a lot to draw from. Thank you. :)

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you BB. Glad you liked it.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

It is pretty amazing they managed to stay on it at all, lots and lots of squishing and holding, I guess. Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed out 'lil colab.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Yay. It makes me so happy that you found it adorable, Trav did a fantastic job at setting the mood that hopefully I captured. Thank you ever so much. <3<3<3

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you. It was such a pleasure working with Trav on this. And I'm so happy you found all the details, colors, and the mood fit the fic. Thanks again. :]

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

=D Thank you!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Why thank you so much, it took us forever to find the perfect reference pic (so much that Trav had to write a different ending when we ran across the one we did, but it was just so perfect.) :P I'm glad you like the palette as well, one of these days I'll get the hang of shading. lmao. Thanks again!

[expectative.livejournal.com]

I just read Trav's fic, now I'm catching up with your art! I think, like absolutely everyone else, that the way they're cuddling is really cute and your choice of colors is great as well!

Well done! I can't wait to see what's gonna be your next art!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Trav's fic is pretty awesome, and easy to draw inspiration from. Thanks! Gotta say, spooning and cuddling, especially in the early morning is probably one of the best things ever.

As for upcoming art, I am currently working on some Dean art for spn_cinema but it won't be posted til May(ish.)

I haven't started on my next project postable project yet, but should be posting sometime mid next month. It will most definitely not involve shmoop. :P

[expectative.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that spooning and cuddling early in the morning is nice, but unfortunately I have no one except for my cat :(

If your next postable project doesn't involve shmoop, does it involve porn?

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I do not recommend spooning with your cat, claws to the crotch is not my idea of a morning wake up call. :\

My sources say... very much so!

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Awwww, so CUTE! *hearts* I especially love Jared's hand wrapped around Jensen's wrist.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I loved doing schmoopy boys for once, and I'm stoked the intimacy of that little touch worked for you.

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

EEEEE SO CUTE

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aww. thank you. Glad you thought so.

[weimar27.livejournal.com]

i love the art work. The colors, the style, all very cool.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aww, why thank you. I'm happy that you liked it!

[simonejester.livejournal.com]
