D/C Ever After: Shine (art masterpost)

[artmetica]

Aghh sorry I couldn't reply to all the comments from the last post, I've been out of town and the connection is unstable... T-T I hope this post comes through

A small companion for Shine by moushkas as part of dc_everafter.
The prompt for this one is Stardust (Wikipedia link | IMDB link).
These pics contain some spoilers of the fic. I hope you read the fic, it's a beautifully written and fun fairy-tale ;D

Thanks to:

cover




I accidentally found a way to quickly make star fields:
Use a veeery soft brush on a new Layer, set to "Dissolve" blending mode :D

For a Kiss



Young John meets young? Mary, love at first sight

I know it's Dean/Cas Ever After, but I enjoyed coloring this one the most XP

After the Fall



Randomly drawn before the scene was written, kinda messed up

Under the Moonlight



Well who could resist drawing a scene like this?
/sukebe
This scene in the fic somehow reminds me a bit of the princess of heaven in Chinese folklore, Zhi Nü.

art dump

Side drawings etc







There are some more unfinished sketches that might or might not be continued. Sorry, I really wish I could finish more, especially that lovely, lovely scene at the end. As it is now, the chapters' illustrations are a bit uneven ^^;
If I do end up drawing more, I'll update the PDF too (it will be on the same URL).
