SPN J2 Big Bang art - "Phoenix"

[ladyvyola]

We can has spn_j2_bigbang again now!

The second fic that I signed up to do art for, Phoenix is now up. Written by parenthetical and zooey_glass04, it's a gen case file with a terrific hook:

"Bobby's got a case for us in Arizona.... House fire... started in the nursery."

Toss in a six-month old barely saved from the fire, a traumatized older brother, a whiff of demonic forces, and you've got a mystery that Sam and Dean can't turn away from.

So check out the art and then go read the story.

Love the art for Phoenix! And while I never object to a chance to ogle the boys, I particularly was entranced by the boy with the flaming knife. I love how you made his hands sort of child-like and innocent ... and the cyrillic lettering across the flames ... just captured the story brilliantly!

Thanks! I haven't done a lot of manips and this was a fun way to get motivated and try a couple of ideas out. I'm thrilled with the way things came out. Thanks heavens for technology -- if I had to depend solely on eye-hand-pencil-paper to get my point across, everyone on the 'Net would be full of concern for the brain-damaged kindergardener who's somehow been reading all that SPN fic.... *g*

I did a search for pictures of children/teenagers holding things and came across this boy holding a leaf. No head or legs, just his torso from neck to waist, and those marvelous hands. And I went through about a half-dozen knives before I found one that felt right and scaled correctly.
