Teen or Preteen Sam having fun raising the food

Artist Notes:

Iā€™m still new to it myself, but for those that donā€™t know what this fandom activity is, Ā itā€™s a gift exchange where instead of buying gifts you use your artistic skills to create a work based on one or more of the five prompts while keeping in mind the wants and dnwā€™s of the giftee. Your chosen giftee is handpicked by the mods based on your can doā€™s and can not doā€™s that you listed on your sign-up sheet. Itā€™s a great way to encourage creativity and community in the fandom.

I signed up as a pinch-hitter. This means that in the unfortunate event someone has to drop out, I will be asked to fill in for them. I wonā€™t participate in the main exchange, but I will be able to ensure someone will get their gift for this event. Which is a role I Ā feel more comfortable with.

Anyways, I was asked a few days ago to fill in. I said yes and got started right away. I wanted to make it for the pitch hitter deadline, so the past few days were dedicated to this. Lol, I told the community rep that I was busy with two other projects and I couldnā€™t make anything complicated. But, that went out the window when I got crackin.

Itā€™s like artist masochism or something. First, it was just going to be a simple drawing of Sam, then I wanted to add the fox, then I wanted to add a background and foreground, then shading, till finally, Ā I decided to add color. x_x Ā I Ā guess I was just wanted to make a good gift worth gifting. Iā€™m happy with how it turned out, so I think I did so, but that is truly up to the giftee to decide.

I took a literal approach to the prompt list instead of the metaphorical one that was probably supposed to be intended. I know that the giftee likes Sam and the prompt said hocus pocus. So, witch Sam. The prompts mentioned a heart, robin eggs, Ā hearing, a skeleton in a closet, nothing wasted, nature, and young.

So, Ā we get recycled food, drying herbs, young witch Sam, a skeleton in a closet, a nest with robin eggs, ears and a heart in jars. Also, the likes listed cracky subjects and Samā€™s hobbies. So, we get Sam experimenting with raising zombie food, keeping a bunch of books like the bibliophile he is, and drying herbs.

Samā€™s known for his relationship with yellow eyes, but Iā€™ve always thought that if Sam had power/aura it would always look orange or copper. Plus, Jared has fox eyes, so instead of the typical dog, wolf, or cat familiar I gave Sam a cuddly fox instead. Lastly, I donā€™t really like using the child actors as references when I draw young Sam or Dean. So, I was trying to use the very few child pics of Jared I found to make a young!Sam.

Now the bonus for those that made it this far:



bratty little brothers, poor dean XD

Witch!Sam isnā€™t playing with his food, honest. Ā He was playing with Deanā€™s. Hehe.

I really love the cute zombie food. That tomato eating the peach.^u^ The half-eaten hamburger is also a fav. The grumpy banana peel is upset that he doesnā€™t have his banana no more. The freshly risen bread had a good sleep and is ready to feast on the flesh of his brethren. And poor orange didnā€™t get reanimated right so heā€™s a little sick.

Enjoy, if you can!ā™„ā™„ā™„

Musical Inspiration (Things that I listened to this time to get in the mood to draw, but not meant as an accompaniment to the fic):

I Ā didn't listen to anything specifically for this work, but I did frequently listen to Billie Eilish- Lovely, Billie Eilish- Bury a Friend, Aquilo- Silhouette, Billie Eilish- Everything I wanted
