Aug 15, 2011 21:48

reccer's note. Now this year's round is over, here's a (hardly comprehensive) selection of BB art I enjoyed.

SPN

title. Place at the End of this World
artist. barbara_ger  
characters. Sam, Dean
rating. G
type. digital, photomanipulation, drawing
summary. 1 title image, 4 story illustrations
see this. A convincing mix of photomanipulation and drawing. The artist creates a haunting atmosphere through the use of sepia tone, soft, bright lightning, rough lines and texture. I especially love the image with the dog.

title. When the World is burning
artist. quickreaver  
characters. Sam, Dean, Jo
rating. PG
type. digital painting
summary. 1 image + detail shots + icons
see this. I love how this artwork is styled as a mock book cover, the use of fiery red and it's an incredibly good painting. And it includes Jo, who I've rarely seen in fanart.



title. Lay you body down (next to mine)
artist. leyla_lovely  
characters. Vampire!Sam, Dean
rating. R
type. digital painting
summary. 1 title image + 3 story illustrations + 1 bonus sketch
see this. Very polished cel-style illustrations + campy vampire fun. ;)

title. Rumsey Hall
artist. dark_roast
characters. Sam, Dean, Castiel
rating. G
type. traditional, pencil with white highlights on toned paper
summary. 1 title image + 3 story illustrations + 4 dividers + icons
see this. I sincerely hope we'll see more art from dark_roast. I really enjoy the restriction to a monochromatic palette, the attention to detail in the backgrounds and textures, which give the art a real SPN feel.

title. All Your Yellow Brick Roads
artist. slinkymilinky
characters. Sam, Dean, Castiel, Chuck, Sarah
rating. G
type. traditional, pencil with white highlights on toned paper
summary. 1 title image + 4 story illustrations + 1 soundtrack cover
see this. Another entry that impresses with the sheer volume of the artworks and conceptual variety. The artist payed a lot of attention to atmosphere-creating detail.

title. alive and well (and living in hell)
artist. tripoli8
characters. Sam, Dean, Jess
rating. G
type. photomanipulation
summary. 1 title image + 5 chapter headers + OST art
I love how playful and unusual these chapter headers are. Each one makes you look forward to the next.

title. Head for the Exits
artist. leyna55
characters. Dean, Castiel (AU)
rating. R
type. digital painting
summary. 1 title image + 2 story illustrations
see this. The story is Superhero AU and I don't think I've seen a superhero Castiel before. All the artworks are fully realised digital paintings, I'm impressed with how much work must have gone into them

title. The Maiden Voyage of the S.S. Bad Touch
artist. attempt_unique
characters. Ruby, Castiel
rating. G
type. photomanipulation + vector lineart
summary. 1 cover image + 7 interior images + ost cover
see this. I love the bright, garish colors

title. The wolf of the deserts
artist. sarahtoga
characters. Sam, Dean
rating. G
type. digital
summary. 3 paintings + 4 drawings + sketches
see this. A artist that is new to me and I hope we'll see more. I'm really in love with how much like analogue art these look.

title. Until Crow knows Your Name
artist. lockthecolt
characters. Sam, Dean
rating. PG
type. digital
summary. 1 header image + 1 illustration + dividers
see this. I'm smitten with the stylish header picture.

title. A list of typos made by god and Walkabout
artist. lightthesparks
characters. Sam, Dean, Jess
rating. PG-13
type. photomanipulation
summary. posters + banners + dividers + icons
see this. Both entries by lighthesparks are amazingly well-done. I love the look of the different pale leafs on dark background done for A List...

title. You are the one (with your finger on the gun)
artist. smallworld_inc
characters. Sam, Dean
rating. PG-13
type. digital painting
summary. 5 illustrations + banners + dividers + 12 paintings for the OST
see this. petite-madame hardly needs to be recced, but make sure you didn't miss her entry. ;)

RPF

title. Hearthstone
artist. lamapan
characters. Jared, Jensen
rating. PG
type. pencil drawings and digital painting
summary. 1 title header + 4 paintings + 17 vignettes
see this. Lamapan is an amazing new artist! This art really illustrates the story with the numerous vignettes and it is wonderfully detailed and charming. And there's food porn!

title. Our story is infinite
artist. maichan808
characters. Jared, Jensen, Danneel, Genevieve, Misha, Chad
rating. PG
type. photomanipulation + pencil
summary. interactive website with character introductions, story summary and OST
see this. Maichan's websites are one of my favourite things about BB. This one is so silly and fun, I love little details like the tape that moves as you go through the tracks.


title. Serendipity
artist. mementis
characters. Jared, Jensen
rating. G
type. photomanipulation
summary. 1 title image, 4 chapter headers
see this. I found the cover image of feline Jared really arresting, everything is really tastefully done.

title. A Wisp of Straw
artist. ldyghst
characters. Jared, Jensen, other minor characters
rating. R
type. photomanipulation
summary. 1 book cover + 2 movie posters + character cards + icons
see this. I really enjoyed the book cover and the very authentic looking (horror) movie posters

title. Hiroshima Love
artist. peach_gurl
characters. Jared, Jensen
rating. PG
type. traditional media (pen + copic markers)
summary. 3 illustrations + 2 sketches
see this. Whimsical and fun, very reminiscent and I love the manga-esque style!
