Art: SPN, Some Greater Good (bigbang art post), G

[ileliberte]

Art created for the lovely hold_onhope's wonderful story, "Some Greater Good" (Gen, PG-13). Time difference means story link is forthcoming, but will be edited in here as soon as I get up from what I foresee to be a very, very welcome night's sleep *sways on feet* ETA: Story link added

I created two pieces, a cover and an interior illustration, and two peripherals in the form of page/chapter dividers.

Title: Some Greater Good
Rating: G
Characters: Sam, Castiel, Dean, Ruby
Story: Read it HERE
Story summary: Castiel is told to protect Sam Winchester. To teach him what he needs to know if he wants to kill Lilith. Dean is in Hell - and the angels want him there. So when Uriel raises his brother from the pit, Sam, along with the unlikely ally he finds in Castiel, makes a decision. He's going to save his brother from the angels, no matter what it takes.

Wow, beautiful! I especially love the lines of their bodies in the interior illustration.

Thank you so much! The interior illustration was definitely the harder one of the two, I'm glad you liked the way it turned out :)

Absolutely beautiful art!

Thank you so much!

Very very nice. The second one is my favorite.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! The second one was definitely the harder one to do, so I'm glad you like it :)

Beautiful!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I love how you did the second piece in a monochromatic style with just hint of shading. The line art really shines this way.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I admit I chose the style for the second piece partly because I wasn't sure I'd be able to do justice to the mood I wanted with full color given the time I had. I'm glad you liked the way it turned out :)

Lovely art! I especially like the interior illustration with Castiel's tie loosened and off-center and Sam wearing Dean's amulet.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! The visual of Sam wearing Dean's amulet was really touching to me and was an important part of the story too, so I'm glad you liked that bit :)

I love the yellow in the second piece - I always think of that as Castiel's color.

The faces in the first piece are excellent, too. Nice work!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if I would be able to capture the mood I wanted with a full color piece and thought this would work better, so I'm really glad you liked it :)

These are fabulous as always, honey. And your Sam in the second one is AMAZING.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked Sam in the second one because I had a hell of a time making him look anything like Sam for the longest time. He kept looking like an overgrown chibi for a frustratingly long while, I'm glad he turned out ok in the end :D

Your art is so lovely! It's perfect for the story.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the story, so I'm glad you thought the art worked for it :)

Just gorgeous.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :D

These are Gorgeous. I love the warmth of the golds. It gives that piece such a tender concerned feel.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! I'm especially glad you liked the coloring of the second piece :)

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

This is really gorgeous art, all of their faces are so expressive, I feel like you can read exactly what they're thinking. Gorgeous dividers, as well.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the dividers, it took me a while to come up with the ideas and I wasn't sure about how well the execution got it across :D

[amindaya.livejournal.com]

I am IN LOVE with your Ruby. She is so freaking gorgeous. And I love how you manage to capture their faces with so few lines. The lineart is really crisp and clean and just sort of speaks for itself. It's really effective, especially in the second one, at conveying the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us all!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you! I'm especially glad you liked Ruby here because I'd never drawn her before :)

[bflyw.livejournal.com]

Great art!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Hey! I just realized that I never made a proper comment despite my gushing over this art in e-mails, so I had to make sure I came over here and left one.

I can't tell you enough how much I love this and I'm so proud to have such great art for my fic. Like I said before, I'm so glad you included Ruby in this (her HAIR, omg) and the importance of Sam and the amulet. ♥ I can't stop staring at the lines of the interior piece, Sam's profile and Cas's tie, and the shading... beautiful. And THANK YOU again!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you for writing an excellent story with such lovely characterization and completely justifying my decision to pick up two bigbang fics to illustrate for. I'm really glad you liked the art, and I hope you've had an excellent experience with your first spn bigbang :)
