Last Art I made for the Derek/Stiles Big Bang Challenge Round 2~ Yay!
The art displayed here is the result of my participation for ‘Relationships that Start under Intense Circumstances’ by Seraphina_snape!
This time too, for the third time, I wasn’t the artist planned in the first place (I shouldn’t make a habit of it) and we sort of arranged my participation for this one a month ago or something (well, around the same day I offered iamthelightening for ‘Because I Need You (More Than Just For Tonight)’; so everything I did for those two fictions were done in a month time).
So it is pretty ‘last minute’, but I did the best I could during the allotted time –and those last few days were quite crazy; but I absolutely have no regrets. I had so much fun with all of you.
I would like to take the time to talk a bit about Seraphina_snape. She is an incredible person who is also a gifted author; and, as if praising just those two facts about her were not enough already, she is also someone anyone should be lucky to work with.
She is a bit like me; she doesn’t just stand on one side and has experience into graphics (amongst other things). She is very considerate regarding the work her other-half is doing and she is always eager to do her bestest to help.
Thank you for your support and for being the person you are.
So, the Story she brings up to the world was first appealing with the ‘spying’, ‘industrial scheme’ and ‘how to do your best to disappear when you are Stiles’ <- he did quite well! I prefer the moment he hides with Derek in a motel room.
To sum it up: go read it! *hypnotic eyes @.@*
You may read the Story at the Author’s Masterpost at AO3!
There is also an *awesome* playlist to listen online made by the author!
/!\ Warning: NO WARNINGS (I can’t believe I made something for a general audience); Okay 'Teen and up audiences' just to make sure /!\
Cover:
This one had been worked ‘on demand’ too, to be able to concentrate into painting.
It is, in fact, the first time I did the background myself thanks to some awesome brushes.
I experimented a lots shadows and I tried to have all those shadows match for the two characters – I first thought that it looked a bit ‘dramatic’ as I was mostly doing characters in plain light and of course there was the features detailing, so it was quite new to me – and I am glad I could experiment with complete freedom.
Fun fact: we now have a complete consensus that Derek is way sexier with a short beard.
Soundtrack:
I never did one art this fast TT It was not intended from the beginning to have it super detailed, so it was fun to see how good I could make one little piece in a few hours (I feel like I did this one in speed paint). I find it pretty fun to see how the paint touches can give an effect totally different depending of the use.
E-Book:
There is one customized pdf made by me available – it gathers the Story text, of course, and the art pieces made by the two artists.
I think you should totally give it a try for the story; the art I did doesn’t give it full justice. It’s a delicious cocktail of suspense and steamy sexiness.
Thank you ^_-
