For my first Big Bang experience, I had the wonderful honor of working with the superbly talented [livejournal.com profile] __tiana__. Seriously, go read her fic RIGHT NOW! You will NOT be disappointed!!!


J2 Fire and Ice


I actually started this piece with just Jensen in mind and it was going to be a simple civilian clothing shot. When I was done with his head, however, I started toying with the clothing folds and it just kept more and more detailed. Lo and behold, I ended up doing hyper detail which about killed me! /o\ But the end result turned out well, I think, so I decided to forego inking and leave it as is. Then I decided Jensen looked lonely, so out came Jared! Only problem, Jared and Jensen can't be in the same room together. And that's where a re-read of the fic and the [SPOILER] comes in, phew! \o/

Phoenix


This was actually the first piece I did. It started out as a quick fashion type sketch so my author and I could decide on which costumes to use, but I really liked the pose, so I cleaned it up substantially and turned it into Jared in his Phoenix guise. The whole reason why I chose to do the art for this fic is because I am a comic book geek at heart, and I primarily learned to draw by trying to re-draw what I saw in the X-men series by Jim Lee. It felt really good and natural to get back to my roots and go all comic book style for this and the Jensen one.


Ice


I couldn't very well do a Phoenix art without doing one of Jensen in costume, now could I? I decided that since I had Phoenix standing that I would have Ice be flying in his solo pic. This was right after I did the hyper detailed pic, so it kind of carried over to the background in this one. OMG, I should have stuck to my "don't do windows policy"!

Jared's Motorcycle


This was the last piece I did. I mostly did it to challenge myself, since I have never drawn a vehicle in my life! Now I know what people that draw mecha complain about! O_O Needless to say, I won't be attempting to do the Impala anytime soon! Kudos to you artists that do this style all the time. I will say, though, that this was the most fun piece to do. :D



Dividers





Icons




Thanks to:
My author, [livejournal.com profile] __tiana__. I cannot praise her nearly enough!Not only did she make my first Big Bang a wonderful experience, but she is truly one of the most talented and sweetest people I have met in this fandom. It was great to be partnered with someone that had so much insight into the super hero genre and who was completely onboard with a full blown collaboration! Thank you.

[livejournal.com profile] transfixeddream for all the tremendously helpful feedback and for keeping me grounded when I was living in the clouds, full of hot air and delusions of grandeur.

[livejournal.com profile] shinyslasher for being the most efficient task master I have ever met in my life! :P

[livejournal.com profile] dolnmoon, and [livejournal.com profile] memoonster for all of your support and patience with all of my frequent freak outs and over-dramatic whining.

And finally to [livejournal.com profile] thehighwaywoman and [livejournal.com profile] wendy for oragnizing this challenge, my hat's off to you both.

Such beautiful art! And the detail is AWESOME!

Yay! Thank you so much, I am thrilled you like them!

[identity profile] culper355.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
These are quite stunning! Very apropros for the comic-book superhero theme. That first image with the boys posed to nonchalantly with their loose and rumpled clothing is truly drool worthy! I love these!!!!!

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Why thank you. Super heroes are so much fin to do, especially when they are secretly Jared and Jensen! :D

[identity profile] riyku.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. Who needs delusions of grandeur when you have this? Amazing. All of it. I have to say that I'm particularly enamored of their posture in the artwork for the banner. Thanks so much for this, and congrats on posting!

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my delusions of grandeur were plentiful, just ask [livejournal.com profile] __tiana__ and [livejournal.com profile] transfixeddream! I am so ecstatic that you really like the Banner artwork, it took the longest but boy was it worth doing! Thank you so much!

You are amazing. These are all amazing. I need to read this fic. This art is amazing.

(This is me rendered incoherent. My apologies on behalf of my vocabulary.)

Wait wait, one more thing: The motorcycle. I am in love. It is beautiful.

AMAZING!!!! They are so beautiful! I cannot believe you have never drawn a vehicle before. The detail is superb.

For the first time in any fandom, I want to take the art created and use it as my background. Of course, I would never do that without your permission.

I'm so in love with the boys in their costumes!

Gorgeous!!

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I think I may have attempted drawing a Transformer as a kid and was like, 'Damn, this is hard, yo!" :P But thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed them, and that you want to use them as a background! Feel free!

[identity profile] yggdrasilian.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Your art is amazing, omg. ♥

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Aww thank you! ♥

[identity profile] transfixeddream.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, you finished it! Congrats on that, first and foremost. And these are all very awesome, possibly some of if not the best work you've done (so far!). My favorite is probably the hyper-realism one, just because I saw how much work went into that one and the way it came out is awesome - the coloring and shading/highlights is seriously sweet on this one!

(But of course let me express my enthusiasm for MEN IN SPANDEX, YAY!)

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
OMG Can I stop being over dramatic and whiny yet? I wouldn't count on it, so don't get your hopes up. And men in spandex? WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE, especially when they have a big ol' codpiece! \o/ And thanks, I am so delighted that you think that of that piece! :D

Though seriously, thank you so much for all the support you gave me and all the feedback throughout this whole thing. I really couldn't have done it with out you pushing me and knocking some sense into me here and there. (And here I go, getting all wordy again.) THANK YOU!

[identity profile] shinyslasher.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I think I over-squeed you by now with how much I LOVEDLOVEDLOVED every part of this!!! *bounces* You really are an amazing artist and your art just blows me away every single time!!! And the motorcycle is so HOT! *wants* And while I ♥ both of them in costume *fans self*, the piece with Jared and Jensen together is beyond beautiful and def. my favorite of all! :)

And the dividers are really AWESOME!

YOU TOTALLY ROCK AND THIS IS MADE OF SO MUCH WIN OMG!!! <3

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
*clappy hands* Thank you!!! <3 I am so happy that you enjoyed them, even if you did nearly burst my ear drums whenever I showed you them ;)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

i love the comic-book-y pics - the style seems really appropriate for a superhero fic. and the one of jared and jensen together is indeed hyper-detailed in terms of clothes. it looks good.

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, thank you!

Those are amazing!! You have some serious talent. I would have never guessed that was your first time drawing a vehicle. It's so well done. I love the comic book style - we certainly don't get enough of that in this fandom. Great job!

[identity profile] dephigravity.livejournal.com 2011-07-09 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! I am so happy you liked them! And *blush* @ the vehicle, thank you so much!
