Summary: This is a story about Sam, who has never hunted a damn thing in his life and about Dean, who has hunted every damn there there is. They will meet at the vastnesses of blooming farmlands on a country road on a sunny spring day. It's this car, which Sam finds in the Men of Letters' bunker, that sends him that way. A car - so black and beautiful - that was buried in the Bunker for decades. And you know, it's not just a car. Because legend has it that it belonged to the best hunter, who has ever lived. He was the best, the most dangerous. But it's rumored that at the end he became more monster than man. Just like the things he always hunted.
So this is a story about the Impala, about the curse of Cain and the blessing of the Samulet. A story about hellhounds and the darkness at crossroads. About Death and Hell. Then of course there will be Hell, because Dean's the new King.
Artist note: This was the first year I drew no J2 for the J2BB. :D AND IT WAS FUN!
Many thanks to xxxkia for taking time out of her travel schedule to work with me, for being so enthusiastic about the art, and for allowing me to play in her universe. Thanks to my awesome beta becc_j for perspective lessons and a truly magnificent suggestion! ♥ Hugs and roses to Wonder Woman wendy for doing the heavy lifting and allowing us to come out and play in the J2BB sandbox for yet another year!

On with the show!
. . . when he straightened up again his glance was caught
by something that dangled around the rear-view mirror.
If this was the man behind the legend, then Sam had no clue what he would do if this whole thing turned
out to be bad. This man had killed, slaughtered and murdered demons and creatures from hell
and back, had saved hundreds of lives and been on the run from authorities for all his life.
Why the hell would he settle down somewhere like this?
[Art (like life!) is messy. You have been warned.]Raw scans, pre digital hoodoo:
Wrinkly paper from all the humidity in the air AND my scanner appears to be on its last legs. Woohoo. :(
Art genesis via messy thumbnail sketches:
Banner elements (drawn at different angles all over one page, 'cause I was too lazy to flip over to another sheet.)
Yikes.
More yikes. Perspective, how does it work?
