Wow, I love what you've done with this, the wings and flaming sword and stark city-scape.

Have a good week away!

Thank you! I'm really pleased with the composition for a change but uhm, a bit too bright lol :D
Coincidentally, my week away involves looking at skin conditions (chafe?). See you around!

Love the wings and the perspective of the buildings, and the fact that Dean and Sam's faces are kinda unclear. Love the entire thing ♥

I can take credit for the wings and the perspective (messed around with some tools in Paintshop!!) but Dean and Sam's faces are blurred...simply because I ran out of time! haha, I'm on training at the moment and I wanted to get this out while the finale was still fresh on my mind :D
I love that you liked the effect though! Made of win :D

lol, Dean does look a lot more catalogue than he does usually ;)

Oh man, DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD? D:

ooooh, your blue and green icon. I still wanna do something that works these two colours together. ALSO, shit, you just reminded me of the skilltester challenge! Textures! The last slash piece I did was intended for making textures, thats why its so much more wilder than usual. The finale kinda took over my head :D. Expect something to be posted tonight or tomorrow.

Ooooh, symbolism! I like the sword - it's like a mixture of the Sword of Damocles (hanging over the boys' heads) and a warrior angel sword. The bloodied wings and smoke are a nice touch, creating the feeling of chaos in the heavens whilst everything on earth is quiet... before the storm.

Why do I always have to analyse your work? Why can't I just say it's pretty? It is! The quality of light you always manage to get into your pieces is just beautiful. And the boys look very perky, given the impending apocalypse, so, at least they're keeping postive, lol!

I'd say have a nice week away, but it doesn't sound so good... *g*

[info]nargynargy

May 19 2009, 17:15:20 UTC 3 years ago

Nice reference to the sword of Damocles! My idea was the flaming sword of Michael who Dean was referred as (I know Sam is there too, but I think the sword cannot be effective without Sam, as the sword would be an extension of Dean and Dean's very nature is dependent on his loyalty to Sam). Haha, anyhow, **flaming sword = warrior angel sword** SO what am I even trying to explain?? It has been a really really long day of responding to fake symptoms in role play. You were right, this week is going to be so boring!!

The boys look perky because they are pretty.

Also, looking at it now, its a tad too bright. Maybe its the difference brightness's on different monitors :O

I just rewatched "Lucifer Rising", which made me cry cuz the boys are back together, & this just made me cry a little more. ♥

[info]nargynargy

May 19 2009, 17:17:44 UTC 3 years ago

I know! They were CLINGING to each other, after everything hell and heaven made them go through to separate them - they still found their way back to each other. How amazing are they?
I have hope man, don't cry, it will be all okay in the end :)

ASFKJAKLFJAS, thank you! Promo image is such an awesome compliment :D, if we could even get that level of budget in the show, I know Kripke would be able to deliver like that! I want there to be a huge epic fight with angels and demons, and Sam and Dean taking them ALL on.

Waah, you never cease to amaze~! I love the texture on the wings, it's so feathery. =D The bloodied wings and the swirling demon smoke (please tell me I'm right, or I'll be terribly embarrassed) in the midst of a city in the middle of the day, aah! It makes the apocalypse seem so much more global. I can picture this (minus the boys, haha) occurring in every major city in the world. <3

[info]nargynargy

May 21 2009, 00:08:05 UTC 3 years ago

Better late than never but thank you! I just realised there was an unconscious nod to your own Dean/Castiel work with the bright blues and wings (honestly, completely unconscious!).

AND YES! It is demon smoke, I was aiming for a sort-of sky-high war :) (I'm glad you noticed, I don't think it was so obvious because there were many interpretations to this!). Wouldn't it be completely awesome if the apocalypse happened in the cities on the show?? :D

oooo I really like this! Excellent concept. The background is stunning, especially the wing details and the tiny bit of blood you splattered in there. I really like the effect you used on the buildings as well, and how the blue on Dean and Sam are mirrored throughout their surroundings, and don't mind the model poses. It just makes them look all "Relax. We've got this" ;)

[info]nargynargy

May 21 2009, 00:12:24 UTC 3 years ago

YAY! I'm really glad you like it! I'm pretty pleased with the background - its the bit that I worked the longest on. I had to rush off to training so the bottom half is rushed (Sam and Dean are definitely sparse, I can be critical - its OK!). I'm glad they look relaxed to you though I'm still getting the en-vogue vibe :D

Woah, epic.
Not sure about the angel (is it an angel?) but I really like the part with the blood and the sword. Very emotionally and...EPIC :P

[info]nargynargy

May 21 2009, 08:23:37 UTC 3 years ago

thank you! It is representative of angels, just generally angel feathers mixed among demon smoke. It's supposed to be a war in the sky, not obvious I know haha! I think a few edits are required but still, it was good fun to show the angelic themes and the sword of Michael etc. :D
I'm really glad you like it!
