Art: The Year of letting Go

[secretlytodream]

I so need to do my homework, and I know that I will regret it, but just couldn’t help myself. I painted again :P

And this time it’s actually painting, cause I believe there’s no single place on that piece where I didn’t brush anything.

First I wanted to play with J2, but I ended up with angsty “Dean’s deal” stuff, which I still think could be better, but I guess I just don’t know yet how to make it. Anyway, hope you liked it.

Title: The Year Of letting Go*



Also available at my deviantart And yes, if you want the biggest version to see how bad I actually paint, you should totally go there P:D

*I snag this title from one really awesome story. It’s The Year Of Letting Go written by the awesome runedgirl. You should totally go and read her story ;) Hope author won’t mind!

Ok, so, what is this? Dean’s year is almost up, and Sam still can’t let him go. Behind Dean’s back is a hellhound waiting for him and beside Sam’s back is an empty room – from now on this is what he’ll have.

And I know, I sucked at painting Dean’s face and Sam’s hand…lol Still have a lot of things to figure out.

You DO NOT suck at painting Deans face!
Very nicely done keep it up!

I disagree with Dean's face. it was done beautifully! The critique I will give about the hand is that it looks flat and maybe a bit disproportionate. Looks like you kinda just gave up on it. Don't! Add some shading and some details and it will fit in better with the whole composition. Otherwise this is really beautifully done!

Cheers!

there's something weird about Sam's hand.

But I like the idea, my crazy doll.

HUGE LOVE!

Dean's face is pretty well done for me ;o))

This is very nicely done, I think. Did you take inspiration from the rock-paper-scissors scene in "Heart," by chance, since that's what the boys looked like? (Their stance and whatnot)

If so, I think that's awesome - that you were able to take some inspiration from a humorous scene and make an incredibly angsty and sad piece with it. Props for that!

Oh and there's my favourite J2 moment ever, with the "Noooo..." and the Texan and Jensen fixating on Jared's mouth. And on top a beautiful sad image, ah me, season three finale, still hurts.

Now off to read fic!

Brava!

I was wondering if we can get a tut on how you do paint overs like this! I always wondered how they're done.

This is really gorgeous.

DUDE! You do not suck....that is awesome! Bravo!!

I think you don't suck at painting Dean's face.
dude,that's really sad:( I still find it difficult to watch the ending of season 3 finale.
Awesome job with the art:)

BEAUTIFUL!

Very nice!... per the hand, I suspect it merely looks disproportionate because it doesn't have the level of detail that some of the rest has (so visually you have a hard time seeing the bend of knuckles). I love the hellhound/ empty room imagery behind each of the boys.

This is just AWESOME. Dean's face is perfect, everything is perfect, you have NOTHING to worry about. The story is very long and I'm not very friendly with English but your notes explain it all.

Beautiful. And heartbreaking.

The author most definitely does NOT mind -- in fact, I'm totally thrilled that you were moved enough by my story to snag the title. It actually fits quite well, there's so much emotion conveyed here, much like I wanted to convey in my story. Would you mind if I put a link in my LJ as well? (You'd have to give me instructions, I tend to be rather clueless about such things).

I love this, and it totally made my day that you tied it to my fic. Awesome job :)

Big hugs,
Lynsey

You're crazy! There is NOTHING wrong with this painting!..God, there are no words to describe how good you are at this....seriously I just can't think of one word good enough..I think you're better than Thomas Kinkade!..And I freakin LOVE Thomas Kinkade! ;D

[nargynargy.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful! How you composed the image is great (all teh dark corners and angles), the emotion on Deans face is amazing (I love the little shines you've added!) and the colours are all wonderful :)

[eternal-dolor.livejournal.com]

I think it looks amazing. Nice job

[misdreya.livejournal.com]

wow this is great! You really painted Dean's face very well, actually! Sam's hand *does* kind of look like he has a latex glove on, but you really can't notice since it's sandwhiched between so much other awesomeness.
That room behind Sam looks so desolate... it almost gives me shivers...

I know you already have 58 comments to date now on this but I couldn't help adding mine. Love it!
