This is it: Big Bang Fanart

Subject: Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki (cwrps)
Rating: PG
Media Used: Photoshop
Notes: Created as part of spn_j2_bigbang  for poor_choices's My Name Is Trouble.  This is the first time ever I've done anything like this.  I wish I'm more experienced and could've done more.  As it is, it's only a cover art.  I feel it's not enough to capture the mystery, angst, and romance that are poor_choices's writing.  So after seeing this, I hope you click on the link above and go read the fabulous story.  Comments are loved.

Special thanks to my art beta  evening_spirit for her encouragement, hand-holding, and invaluable advices.

Story Summary:  Six years after Supernatural ends, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki find themselves in completely separate lives after a fallout. It's possible neither of them has ever really recovered from the other. But an unexpected turn in Jensen's life brings them back together to sort themselves out again.

Whoa! You have work cut out for you. Here I am, totally freaked out and stressed with doing artwork for just one author, and you are doing for 3! ::impressed::

I know what you mean by nervous. But I'm sure it'd be great. =) Can't wait to see yours! *g*

i couldn't decide which one i wanted to claim so, here we are with 3 awesome story and i'm trying to make something awesome for them, lol i'm almost done, some fixing still left, but i'm so happy that i have lots of time before i have to post them. my authors are happy with the work i've done, i showed them to my sister and my friend, they loved them, but i think i would love to have feedback from someone who doesn't know my stuff, lol

there's been so many awesome art already posted and i bet there's gonna be whole lot more coming :D

( i hope you get what i'm saying, i'm not native English speaker and i'm having a major headache, :D makes my writing suck!)

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Your English is perfect. I'm not a native English speaker either, but I've lived in the States for a long time. *g*

I think your ultimate feedback is your authors happy with the works you've done! That really says a lot. The hardest part of this BB challenge is being able to capture the essence/theme of other people's writings, which I think is why BB discourage ppl to write their own stories or make their own art works.

Do you mind giving me a simple synopsis on the J2 stories you are doing?

The Case of Jared Tristan Padalecki
Summary: The arch angel Gabriel is on trial for overstepping his bounds as Jared Padalecki’s guardian angel. Gabriel is facing punishment for his unprompted interferences with Jared’s life, but will his actions also affect the fate of Jared’s soul? In a last effort to right his wrongs, Gabriel tells the story of Jared’s life, from his birth to his job as a sous chef in the renowned restaurant Jensen Ross, of Jared’s love for Jensen, and about how three seemingly insignificant coincidences changed Jared’s life forever: the promise of Gerald Padalecki, the introduction of Sandra McCoy, and an open door.

Looking Through Patient Eyes

Summary: Jared is a college freshman, trying to make enough money working part time at Starbucks. Jared is in a relationship with Sandy when he is introduced to gay-for-pay porn by a house mate and, desperate for money, decides to try it. His first partner is college senior Jensen who has been paying his tuition by doing porn. They find something in common when they find out that they are both from Texas and their relationship grows. Jared slowly falls in love with Jensen.

All You Wanted
Summary: Jared thought he’d be doing a lot of things by the time he was 22; raising a kid all on his own wasn’t one of them. He’s done his best though, and he thinks his best has been pretty good. He’s got a steady job, he’s taking some classes at the local community college, and despite all the ways he’s managed to screw up over the years, Cody’s turned out to be a great kid. Jared’s happy, even if his life isn’t what he dreamed it would be, but happy doesn’t mean easy, and the year Cody starts kindergarten, Jared can feel himself starting to unravel a little bit. There aren’t enough hours in the day, no matter how many afternoons his parents agree to watch Cody for him or how often Chad or Megan lends a hand. So when Jared meets Cody’s kindergarten teacher, Jensen Ackles, it’s a little like a weight’s been lifted off his back. Suddenly Jensen’s a part of their lives, offering the kind of friendship that Jared’s only ever gotten from Chad. As Jared spends more time with him, however, he begins to realize that his feelings for Jensen might extend past those of a friend’s.
Jared hasn’t ever taken the easy road, but with a life that’s already threatening to break him, can he really afford to let yet another complication into his life?

\o/ Oh my! I can see why you have a hard time to decide which one to work on. *g*

[peculiar-mind.livejournal.com]

i'm still wondering how the mods let me claim that many fics, lol they wondered it too, lol

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

LOL, they trusted your ability! *g*

Whooo, shiny icon! Love the colors and the filmstrip background.

[peculiar-mind.livejournal.com]

lol anyway, that icon might be one of my first ones, don't even remember how i made :D

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Very nice! And this one is very nice too. Do you make a lot of your own icons? I like your coloring and composition. Icon making is an entirely different challenge than WP, isn't it?

[peculiar-mind.livejournal.com]

yeah i make some icons, not often, only when i'm bored, lol i've posted them on my journal, sometimes i post stuff at some comms too.
yes it is different to make bigger graphics than icons, i like more making bigger ones, but sometimes it's nice to make new icon, lol

i used to do banners for kuhekabir's stories, but now i've been so busy with bb so she had to find new artist :(

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

I still find icon making is much easier than WP because space is a problem for me. But then with 100x100 pixel I sometimes get frustrated if I want more detail shown.

I gotta go check out your icons. Maybe snag some if you don't mind. I will credit of course if used. =p

[peculiar-mind.livejournal.com]

you can snag some if you find something you like, have to say that, my icons aren't anything amazing, lol now i'm off to sleep, i hope you find there something you like :D
