That is awe-inspiring! Seriously, those are bizarrely astronomical odds. It's heart-warming to know that despite all of those improbabilities, you two got to work together. :D

Your art for this fic is delicious... I really love your color palettes; they're absolutely gorgeous. The nostalgic DIY style (AUGH THOSE PENCIL BORDERS ARE THE BEST) gets me right in the feels.

Well done!!

It is incredible, isn't it? :D
And thank you!! I had fun (and suffered frustration) making those borders >u>

I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite. The attention to detail (all of the shadow boxes/picture frames on Cas' wall! The awesome layout of the cover art! The adorable hug/snuggle at the concert!) in your art gives me the chest-flutters.

Okay, yeah. I'm going to have to go with Dean & Cas in the bedroom. That lighting is spot on. The way it warms the entire scene. I admire the attention to subtle shading (on both of the walls), and the consistent lighting across the entire piece. And the yellows/oranges/purples... simply fantastic. Which piece, if any, was your favorite? Which one did you have the most trouble completing?

Okay, I'll try not to gush too much. xD Great work, almaasi. <3

You are much too lovely. Thank you ouo
The last one* is my favourite - it was also the quickest and easiest to complete, other than the header image and the car silhouette. I'm not sure why I like it, it just gives me a sense of accomplishment. >u>
The one with Cas unpacking the car was the most frustrating, I had to keep changing things, and in the end I realised it would've been quicker to scrap it at the halfway point and start again. Unless someone stared too long they might not see all my mistakes, but I see them. I'm trying not to dwell, 'cause I got it finished, and I figure that exonerates me from self-criticism. But yeah.
Seriously, thank you again for your compliments, they're definitely a good motivator for practising more!

edit: * I mean the purple one with the confetti

Almaas, I am seriously blown away by how lovely your artwork is. You've got such nice colours and attention to detail - you should be very proud!
