spnartistswap is holding its 3rd round (already!). Check out the community info to play and create a movie poster inspired by the world of Spn. Also worth checking, 66-journals, a community inspired by the 1000 journals project created by Someguy aka Brian Singer.
2) The Little Big Art Gallery
The End (of the show) is Nigh but as usual, the Spn fandom was extremely inspired this month (we are fantastic, sue us...).
Don't miss in the Sam and Dean category, this heartbreaking B&W artwork by Pineprecipice, this nostalgic watercolor painting by Lamapan, this intriguing art called Bones by Quickreaver, this hurt/comfort art by Andlatitude, this super hot and NSFW art by Badbastion, this ALSO super hot art of Dean licking Sam's torso by Egoworna, this passionate kiss by Weekendship, this very bloody art of Sam by Anobviousaside, and Dean wearing a uniform like in 8x20 by Onlywincest.
Some eyecandy for the Dean/Cas shippers now! You'll definitely fall in love with Oh Cas, I knew you were good! by Bananasandguavas, It won't hurt, Dean by octopifer, The world may be in pieces but you complete me (2014!Verse) by chromehearts, Carry On My Wayward son (warning: character!death) by Jasric, Good morning angel (NSFW) by edgebug and this untitled art by Liketheoceaninwinter. Some more awesomeness: Lettie had the great idea to create an Instagram for Sam's "photos" where you can see some cute cuddling between Dean and Cas but also TFW enjoying itself at Disney Land surrounded by Ariel, Cinderella and Tiana! Lovely!
The Castiel lovers won't be disapointed either. Don't forget to have a look at this sad yet beautiful art of Cas wrapped in his wings by Suchacat, this dark and concerptual art by Skadizzleross, this very Art Nouveau art by Kalun52 and funnier, this Castiel wearing a various series of outfits by Overachievious. However, Cas isn't the only angel loved by this fandom. Some, like Valiantparadox didn't forget about Gabriel and same with Green-feline who graced us with this portrait. And last but not least, still in the angel section, this family portrait of Cas, Gab and Balthazar by Kaiser-mony and these two extremely well done watercolor portraits of Lucifer and Crowley by moon-lit-lace.
If you ever wondered what the Impala would look like in its human form, Castiels-fluffy-feathers brings you the answer in this adorable art that also includes some chibie!Dean, Cas and Sam. And talking about funny "big heads", you can also check out this Supernatural x Gravity Falls crossover by Mashimero.
I always tend to rec' hand drawn art but let's not forget about gifs. I fell in love this months with this very interesting Sam Winchester Time Line but also with its Dean equivalent by mishawinsexste.
3) Tutorials and resources corner
If you want to know more about CG art and how to draw a piece of art from A to Z, Qinni unveils some of their tricks in this interesting step by step tutorial for SAI and Photoshop. The result is stunning and there is a lot to learn when it comes to shadows and highlights. Beautiful! On the other hand, if you consider that CG art is too easy for you and want to try your hand at animation, this tutorial will show you the way. Now, we are all waiting for your Supernatural anime. :)
A tutorial that should be a GREAT help when you are into Supernatural: how to draw sweat, cuts and bruises!
Finally, here is a lifesaver, a trick that every Photoshop user will be happy to learn: How to never run out of undos in PS. YAH!!! Bring out some champagne guys, it's time to celebrate!
See you next month!
A big thank you to lazy_daze for the English beta ♥
