Oh wow, that's gorgeous! I love the details on the sword, the falling stars (?), the pile of skulls ... and I must say that Dean in black armor is kind of easy on the eyes. *g*

Falling stars... falling angels... I guess that's open to interpretation.

I like Dean in armour as well *smiles*

I love the silvery metal/curtain effect! It really looks like bright light is shining off the sword. The pile of skulls are creepy. I hope the stuff falling from the sky aren't actually skulls. D: The semi-transparent armour is also really cool. Since I don't know the series very well, I don't get the significance of the details, but I am sure they are there. :)

My icon is too happy for this pic but I don't have another \o/ icon. So. <3!

\o/ love the icon.

I won't go into the elements as the series (imo) is worth watching and I don't wish to spoil you. But I do understand that it isn't everyones cup of tea. Once the idea came to me, I wanted to draw that semi-transparent armour. I had a lot of fun figuring out that aspect.

I love my wacom tablet.

Creepy but fabulous! The skulls are chilling. I love the rain and sword effect. The details on the sword hilt are gorgeous. And I'd love to see Dean in armor!

And I'd love to see Dean in armor!

that's actually possible since I constructed (winces at choice of word)... The picture is drawn in separate, individually painted layers. I have an armour drawing which I merged into the main picture.

I'm tickled that you found it creepy.

Oh, wow - that is absolutely stunning! I love it - thank you so, so much.
There are so many amazing details as well as the overall symbolism & intensity of the image & what it means - Dean is the Michael sword. I love the way you have the armour sort of superimposed on Dean like that.

Honestly - this has literally taken my breath away.
Thank you!!
*hugs*

I have until the end of Jan for my 'year' to be up but I'm afraid I may be a tad late. Sorry.

\o/ glad you liked it.

Yes, Dean is the Michael Sword! My 'goal' of the piece was that draping, supernatural armour.

Don't worry about being late, I still have elyana88's drawing to do *hangs head*

I love it! (And have told everybody I know to come & see it! Well - fannish everybody. *g*)

The way you've created the image has so many parallels to themes within the show - like the ghostly armour hinting at what Dean may become as a vessel for Michael. Extremely cleverly & beautifully done!

This is amazing! Absolutely gorgeous! Breathtakingly so! Bluespirit_star shared her excitement over it and I just had to leave a comment about how utterly beautiful I think your work is! Words really don't do it justice. But I tried. =D
