What's the concept ?
During the year 2011, I will post one drawing a month (alongside other arts, this won't be my only project) all inspired by a fan fiction. (To cut a long story short, it is going to be one month, one drawing, one calendar wallpaper). It's a way to pay tribute to all the authors and stories I enjoyed in the past few years.
What about the fic ?
Here is everything you need to know about this absolutely heart-breaking fic by Miss lustmordred . Prepare your handkerchief, you're gonna need it...
Title: A Bleak Understanding in Reverse PART 1 - PART 2
Author: lustmordred
Genre: Spn
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Spoilers: Incest, language, character death
Word Count: Lustmordred didn't precise but my PDF is about 30 pages (Verdana - 12pt)
Summary: It was hard to imagine that life without monsters could still kill them...
This fic is for...
People who aren't allergic to death fic, who love drama, and tears.
This fic is definitely not for...(SPOILER, highlight if you want to know)
Those who expect Castiel to appear in the middle of the fic to save Sam at the last minute and to see Sam and Dean living happily ever afters and choosing together a sofa or a lamp at Ikea. Don't wait for a crossroad demon either...
What about your drawing ?
In A Bleak Understanding in Reverse, Sam is dying from a brain tumor (it's not a spoiler, we learn it at the second page of the story). I wanted to show he was leaving this world a little bit more every day, hence his silhouette disintegrating in Dean's arms.
Tools of the trade ?
Photoshop CS + Painter Essential 3
Was it the first version?
Not really, the first sketch was definitely darker and much more morbid. It included skulls, drugs, brambles, and some quotes from the fic. Finally, I dropped. It's depressing enough to have a dying Sam as a wallpaper, no need to add skulls and blood stains.
In addition, there were too many details: it's a wallpaper, I needed to leave some blank spaces so that the users can see their icons.
Reference photos : Sam - Dean
Next wallpaper ?
At the end of March if I can. I am currently living in Tokyo and I am leaving for good at the end of March to go back to Paris, my hometown. I hope I will have the time to draw the wallpaper and to find an Internet connection to post it.
Other wallpapers available?
January (The Doors Of Time - Felisblanco), February (Small Small World - Dragonspell)
Hope you liked the calendar!
