Oh, wow. That's gorgeous. It just screams 'them against the world'. Beautiful work.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

This is so fabulous. I'm captivated by Sam's expression, but I can't get over the firelight reflected in their clothes, either. Dean's amulet is glinting, and the background is so very appropriately barren. I love that you left the big bad off screen, and instead gave us the space to imagine whatever we want there. On further reflection, maybe that's an interpretation of Sam's little-used kinetic ability, and not evil. Hmm. Still fascinating, either way.

Thank you so much, I didn't want any of the focus to be on the big bad (and um, wasn't sure who/what would be the big bad either :D), so I'm glad the off screen nature of it makes it somewhat more interesting. I'm glad you liked it, I'm always unsure of my ability to show any sort of lighting effects.

Nicely done - and one of my favorite episode titles to boot!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I loved the title, thought it would be very fitting for the Winchesters :)

I love the coloring. And Sam's face is amazing.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I love drawing Sam, the planes of his face are awesome.

You make me want to watch SPN. Except for the ghosts and demons and scary things that will freak me out and cause me to get no sleep.

Dude. The glint of red in Sam's eyes? And the way the light falls? TOTALLY AWESOME.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! And I am so glad you saw that red glint, I was wondering if it was visible, but I really loved that tiny addition. Sometimes my coloring...leaves a lot to be desired, shall I say, and so I'm really happy when something works out the way this one did.

[embroiderama]

Wow, that's amazing! Every detail of it is gorgeous, from their faces and the tension of their bodies to the burnt-out-looking trees and the color. I just want to stare at it.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! After I saw the prompt, I had to do this and I'm really glad you like it, it's probably one of my images that came the closest to what was in my head.

P.S: I am always so chuffed when you use this icon, I'm really happy you like it :D

Dude, this is making me all shivery. AWESOME.

[shoiryu.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Love the posture!

[innie_darling]

Sam's hair and expression and the glowing colors are just outstanding.

[miss-porcupine.livejournal.com]

Oh.

The line drawing was excellent, of course, but seeing what you did with the color and the light... this is definitely one of your best efforts.

(And I think Dean looks much better with the gun. ;) )

[benitle.livejournal.com]

Wow! The coloring is absolutely brilliant!

[cutedevil666.livejournal.com]

Thats amazing♥

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!!!

[oc-pixie.livejournal.com]

Holy crap that's goregous...I'm enthralled by it. I mean the expressions are amazing. The reflections of the fire on the guys is beautiful....and I love that you leave it for the viewers interpretation...mine's that Sam's using his powers to protect Dean from hellfire and all that comes with it.

Seriously, so beautiful I wanna put it up as a wallpaper.

SERIOUSLY! You have to make more SPN art...because I bowdown to your talent!!

i love sam's face, and his hand is just fabulous. there's a real sense of motion, too, like the wind's blowing or something.

[just-ruth.livejournal.com]

Incredible! Just incredible.

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that is gorgeous. I love the play of light over their faces and Sam's expression. I really like how you suggest what's going on.

[leighm.livejournal.com]

Amazing work.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oooh i like that!!

very awesome. :D

[mystic-reader.livejournal.com]

WOW!

[yjudaes.livejournal.com]

great lighting and color scheme! i especially love the red glow on Sam's hand, and Dean's "urghhh gritty sandy wind blowing in my face"-type facial expression.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's so gorgeous. I love love love the reflections of fiery thing on Sam and Dean. (And I'm not even in this fandom! *g*)

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. I love the coloring, and their faces, and the way Sam is shielding Dean. You always manage to get so much story into every picture.

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

I like what you have done with the lighting and fire effects, particularly on Sam. Sam's face is lovely.

[girlguidejones.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, wonderful. Sam's face! The scratch on Dean's cheek...the glint on his amulet!

I love it madly.

[jaded-jamie.livejournal.com]

That's amazing, kudos! Really really well done I love it

[nemo-88.livejournal.com]

WOW. That is absolutely STUNNING. Sam's expression and how the fire is reflected in his eyes? Gorgeous!! <3<3

[denisitap.livejournal.com]

Cool!!!!!!!!

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

Wow, absolutely gorgeous! It has so much depth and atmosphere - superb!

[dun.livejournal.com]

Love the contrast between the strong red and the cold blue, also the 'push' from Sam's hand and his gaze. Love Sam's expression, and the whole composition! :)

[cybel]

Wonderful, stark and striking. Gorgeous use of light and shadow and color. And I could have sworn a couple of times I saw movement...

[girlguidejones.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know we included your art in tonight's crack_impala art recs post! Thank you for a beautiful piece of artwork!

[rojaji.livejournal.com]

so beautiful and heartbreaking. I just can't stop thinking of how this season is going to end - and sam protecting dean (the way dean has always protected him) - yeah, that's about right. I can see it going down like that.

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely gorgeous. The colouring, the shading...the expressions on their faces. Really love it.

[glimmerella.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! The flame's reflection on the plane of their skin, the planes of their faces. Wow.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

that is beautiful, I love it

[kentawolf.livejournal.com]

NICE coloring. The glint off the amulet makes it look like real gold. You captured Sam's 2/3rds profile quite nicely. The Colt is nicely metallic-ish. The composition is balanced. And good hands. The wind motion in Sam's shirt and bangs echoes the whispy waves of the flame. It screams to be made into a wallpaper.

[devidarkwolf.livejournal.com]

This is so wonderful. The composition is very nice with the boys and the background, but I think it's the fire that kind of draws everything together. You've done fabulously with a colour scheme! The bright blue of Sam's shirt is the perfect offset for the reddish background and effects, and of course, the reflective light on both boys' shirts and faces is just stunning. The only minor criticism I have is foreshortening (Sam's hand should probably be larger), which is always the worst thing ever for me. ;_; But this work is wonderful and fiery and vibrant, great job!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I love getting detailed comments like this :) Yes, foreshortening, I love doing it, it seems theoretically immensely dramatic, somehow though, a lot of the time, it kind of fizzles out in execution. But I shall persever! XD I'm glad you liked this, it's an image that has come closest to being how I envisioned it in my mind with regards to the colors, poses and the mood.

[evillunatic.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. The light play you have going there is amazing. You really get a sense of the power emitting from the flames and Sam.
