Big Bang Art - Bells Pond
Big bang art! For spn_j2_bigbang of course. (also posted here at Dreamwidth)
Title: Bells Pond
Author name: kelleigh
Artist name: alteredloc
Genre: Supernatural/Wincest
Pairings: Sam/Dean. Sam/OMC [implied].
Rating: NC17
Estimated word count: 52K+
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers thru 5x15 [Dead Mean Don't Wear Plaid]
Summary: Not long after his run-in with Famine, Dean breaks down and prays for help. It's not God who answers. Michael appears before him and instantly changes everything Dean thought he knew about the Apocalypse.
A few days later, Sam wakes up alone in Bells Pond, Nebraska -- a far cry from the drab motel room in Tennessee where he fell asleep. Without Dean, Sam explores his desolate surroundings and discovers that the town lies in ruins thanks to a demonic event. It becomes clear that Sam's not as alone as he thought, nor can he escape from his strange prison. He fights against the power holding him there, afraid every day that Lucifer will hunt him down and force him to say yes. The Apocalypse continues to rage outside of his isolated world and Sam fears for his brother's life. As time drags on, and as Lucifer takes Sam to ever more seductive places in his dreams, Sam realizes that the people of Bells Pond may provide the key to everything he's been searching for but never thought he'd find. And waiting in the future is an unforeseen miracle, if Sam can last that long.
This is a truly fantastic story that everyone should read. I just hope that I was able to capture some of the magic that is Bells Pond with my art. In case you missed it here's the link again for the story. Artwork is slightly spoilery so I suggest reading before viewing. And as usual, click for larger. :)

A/N: kelleigh was absolutely wonderful to work with. She put up with me jumping the gun and sending her images before she even gave me the rough draft. Then my radio silence for several weeks when I got sick. She even did some hand holding while I sent her draft after draft of essentially the same exact thing. I couldn't have asked for a better author to work with. :)
I fell in love with Bells Pond the second I started reading and there were so many images that instantly popped into mind and I tried my best to put them down. There are several half finished concepts and different pieces that never made it from my sketchbook to completion. If I had infinite time, there would be so much more to this post. I think my biggest regret is that even after hours of searching, I was never able to find the exact image of the road outside Sam's house, as I saw it in my head. I can only hope that I got close enough to satisfy both reader and author.
Of course thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for putting this challenge together.
