SPN_Reversebang 2015 Art Masterpost N° 1: Place of Sacrifice

[mangacat201]

Title: A PLACE OF SACRIFICE
Artist: mangacat201
Author: brutti_ma_buoni
Pairing/Characters: Jared/Jensen
Rating: R
Wordcount: 6400
Disclaimer: I don’t own their images, that honor falls to the CW and Eric Kripke in terms of Supernatural and of course to Jared and Jensen in terms of themselves, I just play in the sandbox without looking for profit.

Warnings/Spoilers: No warnings for the art, except antique nudity, I guess. Please refer to the story masterpost for further warnings.

Summary: In a nation where adult destinies are set by draft, Jensen's always known he and Jared can't expect to be together. But he dreamed it might happen all the same. And when Jared's destiny turns bad, Jensen isn't about to leave him alone. Whatever it takes.

A/N: Man, this challenge was so easy and so hard this year, I can't even begin to describe it. Easy in the way my artwork came together from an idea to a fully fleshed out piece, hard in the way that I had little time to be a helping hand in the writing process, much less make more piece. Real life is a tough bitch sometimes. But I still want to thank brutti_ma_buoni a big bunch, because she managed to tease out so much more from this pic than I had dared to imagine and delivered a truly engaging, world building story that blew me away. That's what I love about this challenge at spn_reversebang and I'm grateful that I get to be a part of it again this year.

WOW - early posting date!
Congrats on posting!
I love the piece, and I am looking forward to checking out the fic!

I love how well you have cut out and put the objects on the background! Nice clean cut without being jagged. That is harder than it looks! I especially love how well Jensen's face is placed on the statue!

Well done!

So I think I mentioned once or twice (or more) how exciting this art is if you're a writer. It sent my head in all kinds of directions, buzzing around, but I'm really happy with the one we settled on. It seems to do justice to the ancient-modern feel of the art, where so much is inexplicable and so much is familiar.

I do wish I could have taken more from the Justice figure, though, because I still adore what you did there, making her so fragile and yet so terrible.

It's a shame you didn't get time to create more art as I'd have loved to have seen what else you had in mind, but this is a lovely manip and I'm really looking forward to reading brutti_na_boni's take on it!
Congrats on being the first to post too! :D

Wonderful art! The colours and neatly done manips. I adored the story too - world building at its best!

Thank you for sharing :)

Love the subtle manips you made to turn the statues into Jensen and Jared. Isn't it interesting that peensize was not the focus in the old days *grins*

What a fab manip. I know just how hard it is to get clean lines, and to blend pictures to make them look seamless. Making their faces fit with the marble must have been hellishly difficult. Well done!
