So for this round of spn_cinema I picked Legend; a wonderful fantasy film and if you haven't seen it, you really should. It has the brilliant Tim Curry and a very twink looking Tom Cruise, plus goblins, fairies, unicorns, magic, and did I mention twink!Tom Cruise? The movie is about: "A young man must stop the Lord of Darkness from both destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves."

I cast Jared in the role of Jack. As the story goes, Jensen has accidentally cast the world into darkness and eternal winter by touching a sacred unicorn and has then been kidnapped by Darkness himself. Now Jared must journey to reclaim his prince, defeat Darkness, and bring the world back to light.

Blah blah blah. Basically I wanted to draw Jared in shiny armor and with a sword.

So pretty! I love the trees and shading between them. And of course the armor looks fabulous!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I actually painted the background, a challenge to be sure, but hopefully worth it. And I'm glad you like the armor too! <3

Awww, I love seeing the final work of this! I like pretty boys with big swords so no surprise I like this one!

Poor Jensen being the damsel in distress :P But hey, he'll have a boy in shining armor saving the day so I think he's the winner!

Awesome work here darling! :)

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks, glad you like the finished product!

Jensen is always the damsel, maybe if he wasn't so damned pretty. :P

I kind of adore the scenary in this one. It's so soft and pretty, and really sets Jared apart from it. I daren't ask which was more annoying, the trees or the scales. :P Awesome job!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

The trees, man. The freaking trees! lol

Though seriously, thank you. It makes me really happy that the time on the background seems to have paid off.

[beatlemaniac9.livejournal.com]

Neat! The sword is so shiny, and the snow is awesome!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!

[expectative.livejournal.com]

The finished, colored picture is even better :D I really like it, Jared is amazing and the background is beautiful.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Sweet, glad you think so. Thanks, man!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Glorious drawing. That armor is so detailed (and oh my the hair!) and I love the wristbands:) Jared to the rescue\o/

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! The hair and scales were pretty labor intensive, but I think they turned out alright and I'm pleased that you thought so. :)

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

First off, this is amazing. Now, Where should I start..

The detail to the armor is just amazing,Those gorgeous cuffs, the sword is beautiful and those trees... those amazing trees and the snow. I am so glad you didn't animate the snow, I like it better this way. And last but definitely not least, Jared.... he looks amazing and his moles.. lol yup it's a kink thing. XD

Kudos on all of your hard work my dear. ♥♥♥

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw, once again you are too good to me. Thank you. I'm also glad I decided against animating the snow-- mainly because I'm lazy. But I am so happy that you enjoyed all the little details, especially the moles. <3

[mistyzeo.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha sacred unicorn.

I love the details in this! Gorgeous.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Sacred unicorn is sacred! :P

Thanks! <3<3<3

LEGEND! That movie rocks. And Jared as Jack - totally awesome! I love it.

And while Jensen as Lily is very, very cool (the black dress dance!) i...can also see him as Una. WINGS!
*cough*

Okay. This just rocks, i love all the little mail-scales and snoooow! So pretty.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

ngl I love that movie so much, I had to do it. I hadn't really thought of who Una would be, but in my head I would have made Misha Darkness and Chad as Gump. IDEK! lol

Thank you so much!

[vodou-blue.livejournal.com]

J2 Legend, ftw! \o/

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

lol Thanks!

[strangeallure.livejournal.com]

Lovely art; it feels fairytale-like and modern at the same time.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

That is a wonderful comment, thank you! ♥

[raths-kitten.livejournal.com]

Oh my god! Has somebody ever written this fic? I really want to read it now. Man, I love Legend! One of my earliest favorite movies. I've seen it so many times. It's an awesome idea to make it J²! I can picture Jensen with the unicorn. And JDM as Darkness. I am going to bed happy today. ;)

Anyways, your drawing. It's really awesome! I adore the snow and the washed out light effect on the right top. And Jared's mole and his hair and the way you drew his body under the chain, uhm, cloth I don't know how it's called. I love this. :)

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Ya know, I'm not sure if anyone ever has. But they should!

Thanks, I generally don't like to do backgrounds much, so it makes me so happy that you found the scenery as equally interesting as Jared in his chain mail/ :D

[memoonster.livejournal.com]

The scenery in this is beautiful..its like a postcard.

I love the cuffs,the sword, Jared's hair, his armor, and who doesn't love the mole. Great job hon!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! You always say the best things. <3

[shinyslasher.livejournal.com]

This is so beautiful, the scenery is really breathtaking, especially since I know how much work you put into it to make it look so fairy-tale like. And I loved that you picked Legend, but even more that you drew JARED WITH A SWORD!!! *adores*

Awesome work, dude, your art is such a happy place for me! ♥

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Thanks! My only regret is that I wasn't able to complete the Jensen and Misha pieces, perhaps after the holidays.

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]
