I really did get the better half of the deal in this one - I still can't stop staring at these pics and I've had them for a while now. Just gorgeous. Thank you so, so SO much for making my story all shiny!

[a_fallen_sister]

I'm just so glad you like them! And I feel like I'm the one that got the good deal here. I've said it before - the story more than lived up to its interesting summary!

This was so much FUN (and we all finished on time, yay!) I hope there's a Big Bang next summer and that I'll be able to do this again. :o)

Wow, wow, wow!!! These are amazing!

I love the pic of them on the side of the road while Jensen has his breakdown--that was so heartbreaking, and you've captured the mood perfectly--of Jensen's despair and Jared's concern and helplessness. I love the cover art too--good choice on Sam and Dean because they both carry a heaviness in their expressions that fits as well. And the motel pic is great--perfect for the hot part of the fic. Your work is lovely. :)

Thank you so much! And I'm glad you thought the use of the Sam and Dean images worked. To me, there were shades of them in the story's theme -- two beautiful, broken boys on a roadtrip. This au Jared and Jensen were a wonderful blend of themselves and Sam and Dean, in a way. :o)

Amazing! Your book cover totally works for me! And both illustrations are absolutely fantastic! I love what you did with the texture and your facial expressions (especially for the road side picture) are absolutely spot on and wonderful. ♥

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you thought the book cover worked -- I spent several hours at booksamillion.com, just looking at covers for inspiration, so I was really critical of my own when it was finished because I didn't think I captured that 'professional' look. This challenge has definitely made me to want to learn more about cover design -- it's an interesting art form! :o)

Really amazing artwork. I'm impressed to see how much emotion you managed to instill in your images, especially the second one. I haven't read the story yet but the feeling of sadness and sorrow is almost palpable.

[a_fallen_sister]

Thanks so much! It's really nice to know that you got the feeling that was conveyed in that scene just from the emotion in their facial expressions -- makes me feel like I got it right. It was a sad scene, and so beautifully written that I could just 'see' the boys. :o)
