Holy cow. Every time I see your artwork I am struck speechless by how amazing it is--and consider myself so terribly lucky that I got you as an artist for the companion art to Second Chance.

I was going to use stronger language here, but it was just gobsmacked out of me. :-)

Thank you! I was just thinking that we might play with different forms of expression, but we both like trying out multiple different variations on a theme, and seeing where they take us.

That is an incredibly nice thing to say. I definitely put you in a different class of talent though!

dhu dhu dhu, these are brilliant. Cas as Captain Sparrow is simply perfect. I bet if you printed this out and gave a copy to Misha Collins he would be over the moon. And the rendition of younger Dean is subtly and cleverly done.

*goes back to stare*

Thank you! I wasn't sure Cas would look right as Jack Sparrow until I found the screencap I use as reference, but then it all came together. Misha would make a great Captain Jack *g*

LOL! I love that look on his face. You totally captured the look of 2014!Castiel.

And that first pic with Dean holding unto Cas is just gorgeous!

Thank you! He has such a great expression in the reference screencap. I'm really happy with how the first painting turned out. It has just the feeling I wanted.

OMG OMG OMG!! These are wonderful!!! I'm so amazed by their likenesses and the amount of details you put into this! *_*

That first one is so beautiful and sweet, I especially love Cas here! :D And these roles you gave them are my favorite! ^^ ♥
The second one... Wow! The concept of 2014!Cas as Jack Sparrow is so hilarious that I wanted to laugh, but I'm too stunned by the quality of this - it's so perfect!! Just... Holy crap! The details and textures! Gyaaah! *_* I need to read the fic ASAP!

Awesome work once again, leyna55! ^o^ ♥
Ahh there's just so much I have to learn from you, did you ever write a tutorial?

leyna55 April 10 2011, 02:13:07 UTC

:D :D Thank you!

I love the way Cas turned out in the first one. But 2014!Cas as Jack is such a great concept by princess_aleera I had to see what he looked like :)

Hah! And meanwhile I'm busy looking at your art and thinking I need to learn from you, and Damn, I wish I could paint like that! They aren't really tutorials, just some progress shots to show my (somewhat chaotic) painting process: http://fav.me/d1svlpr and less chaotic but still pretty messy portrait painting process: http://fav.me/d2gp9sa

your art is stunning. I am completely blown away by all the detail, and how absolutely gorgeous their faces look. This must have taken you so long to finish, but it all looks so freaking beautiful! Amazing work!

leyna55 April 10 2011, 02:21:14 UTC

Thank you! It did take ages, but then again I tend to paint pretty slowly anway. OTOH I like doing lots of details :)
