SPN Art: Dead Weight (for slinkymilinky <3)

[august_monsoon]

The heart is heavy; in fact everything in this body seems to weigh him down. Castiel has no need for anchors - he’s a creature of flight. Jimmy won’t mind, he can always find him new lungs later.

Castiel | R ( for gore and self-harm)

I saw this prompt, really interesting take on it. Nicely dark and subtly horrific - I really like the chaotic wings in the background.

[august_monsoon]

Thank you, it's far more disturbing than I usually do things, but I'm quite proud of it. I'm glad the roughness worked for you. <3

This is so beautiful because it's so creepy. I think what hits me more is Cas's serene face, the matter-of-fact way in which he's lightening himself up. You = amazing. ♥

[august_monsoon]

Haha Cas' face is serene because he is Season 4!Cas with a higher purpose that transceneds flesh and bones and y'know like vital organs.

Glad it worked for you, I was kinda nervous about because of the different elements, because composition= not my strong point. Thank you, bb! <333

Wow... very dark. Love the skeleton wings in the foreground and the tattered wings in the background. So foreboding. Cas's black eyes as he tears at his face is so creepy and I particularly love the why you've done his shirt in the foreground.

Fabulous work once again. You are extremely talented me dear. <33

[august_monsoon]

Thank you, it really means a lot!

It kind of scared me while I was drawing it. D:

[slinkymilinky]

AHHH!!!! IT'S ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Look at him pulling parts off! look at that glorious covering of his empty chest! I love the expressions in both parts; the vulnerability in the first and then the dark hooded eyes in the second, it's amazing! amazing!!!

Oh and how creepy would it be if he was just flying around as a Cas skeleton? ewwwww!!! It's great m'dear! thank you sooooo much!!! <3

[august_monsoon]

hee, thank you, darling!!You're so welcome!

Oh and how creepy would it be if he was just flying around as a Cas skeleton?
Lol, yes! Like if he flew into the Winchesters' motel room and was all 'I have much work for you to do,' and Dean and Sam would be all O__o

[slinkymilinky]

YESSSSSS!!! Every time he turns up there's a bit less of him, until he pops up in the backseat as just a floating skull. it could be epic, Dean could do Hamlet jokes! XD

[august_monsoon]

At least, he would take up less of Dean's personal space.

There could be problems with their eyesex though. :(

This is a lovely interpretation of the prompt, dark and delicate, I like it very much!

[august_monsoon]
