Summary: Art for gabby_silang's prompt at the horror meme: "After Castiel leaves her body, Claire finds a bit thread in her leg, as if she'd gotten stitches. She doesn't remember getting stitches. She tugs at it. A bad idea. Her skin begins to unspool."

KILLING ME, this is killing me. The textures and atmosphere of it, the LIGHT bleeding through her, the tattered scrappy edges of her, the parts where she's just fraying but hasn't split yet, the feathers, everything, and what an amazing pose. This is chilling and beautiful and I love it.

:DDDD

I'm so glad you like it! Your prompt was pretty creepy in and of itself- I was so worried that someone else would claim it before I'd gotten a chance to finish this. I couldn't stop picturing Claire with light coming out of the frayed and threaded holes in her skin. (Feathers are for added creepiness.)

Thank you! ♥

I keep coming back to stare at it. It'll probably become my hella creepy desktop wallpaper soon. I'm so, so glad the prompt inspired this from you, it's a gift to the woooorld.

Wow, thank you! I'm flattered to think my art would grace your desktop. Glad you like it! ♥

Holy crap, that's lovely. Love the texture you used for the unraveling, along her hip, up her spine. The atmosphere in and of itself is beautiful, but the execution makes it gorg.

Thank you so much!

For some reason, it was much harder than I thought it was going to be to find a texture of torn cloth. I'm glad this one worked!

omg this is terrifying and gorgeous. oh god. her spine. her knuckles. her leg and her shoulder and omg this is amazing.

[callowyn]

The knuckles freak me out the most- they look like Castiel's eyes when Alastair was in the process of choking the grace out of him. But the gaping chrysalis-scar of her spine is a pretty close second.

Thank you! ♥
