Art for "Public Masks and Private Battles" by cala_jane for spn_j2_bigbang
Public Masks and Private Battles by
cala_jane is the second story I provided art for in this year's spn_j2_bigbang. Friends familiar with my kinks preferences in fiction will be unsurprised by the fact that I was lured in by the following:
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: PG13
Summary: When the slavery system was introduced as a way to relief the overcrowded prisons, Jensen didn't hesitate to join the Rebellion that was already fighting against the Empire. Years later he was found out, he was sentenced to spend his life as a slave. From that moment, his life was a constant war, with battles he knew he had to win. After he's bought by Gerald Padalecki, to protect his youngest son, all those battles are limited to three most important ones. First: Keep Jared Padalecki alive. Second: Earn freedom by keeping Jared Padalecki alive. And third: Keep his feelings in check while keeping Jared Padalecki alive. Jensen soon realizes he might be able to win only one of those battles.
Warnings: slave themes, power imbalance, violence
Important notes: Author is easily amused. Chad is decent. There are cliches. And despite adult themes, the fic is terribly PG.
One of the lovely things about doing challenges is that they are good at stretching one as an artist. If epeeblade's Meadows of Heaven inspired me to start learning Corel Painter, Public Masks (and a serious lack of good comedy/tradgey mask free clipart) prompted me to take another stab at Adobe Illustrator for the title card and related bits. The paper, I admit, was done in my old standby of Photoshop.
