BigBang 2013 ARTPOST the first
When picking a story to make art for, I force myself to look for visual challenges instead of going for fics that allow me to stay in my (creative) comfort zone. Although I suspect this summary was whispering my name for another reason as well;) I was thrilled to be able to grab the whole story after a nervewracking extra round of claiming in this year's spn_j2_bigbang. How could I resist? It has all my favorite guys in one juicy love triangle, and that turned out to inspire me to take my fiddling a bit further than usual! (Not just artistically *grins*). I happily present:
Title: The Premises Are These (You and Me and Him) [ LJ]
Author: minchout
Artist: beelikej
Medium: Photoshop (+Papercut porn art in separate post!)
Pairing: Jeff/Jensen/Jared
Story Rating: NC17 (art below is G)
Wordcount: 20,600
Warnings/Enticements: minor drug use, age difference, teacher/student relationship
Summary: Jensen and Jeff have been in a relationship for seven years. They're crazy about each other, but they have this thing they do to keep things interesting: Every once in a while, Jeff goes out, picks up a twink, and brings him home for Jeff and Jensen to share. Usually that's the end of it, but after they spend a night with Jared, neither one of them really wants to let go. They invite Jared into their lives, and this is the story of what happens between the three of them.
ARTWORK!
Storyheader
See above. I also made a cover with e-book dimensions:
I thought about maybe showing their faces in this design, but opted to keep the mystery *grins* And yes, that is a teaser of Jensen wearing glasses, check out the full image below.
Portraits
These are the edited full photos in the header: I dressed up Jensen, gave Jeff more jewelry (and maybe dyed his gray beard a bit...) and played with Jared as well.
I bleached the photos for the final design. (Click for bigger)
Dividers
The versions for the author are transparent; I added a white background for my black journal, so you can see the shadows:)

Well spotted: number 6 is not in the other art above, but that intriguing expression on Jeff's face was used as a reference in an extra scene... (see link below)
Endbanners
I made three end-banners, varying from serious to funny:
(Well, I thought it was funny;)
Now go check out how the story really ends here OR scroll down for a link to extra sexy artwork...
Sources & Sexscene! (links to separate post;)
I made my first NC17 artpiece! (Talking about taking my papercutting in a new direction *grins*) I experimented with silhouettes and shadows, but despite the lack of details, it's still quite obviously the three of them having sex, so to not surprise innocent passers-by, I'm posting that artwork separately.
Since no-one ever accidently checks out my source-posts, I figured that was a safe place to park it. So, if you're curious about the art and/or the sex, click here for the NSFW NC17-rated papercut scene :-)
For those of you who are interested in the sources of the Photoshop art above and do not wish to see the naughty, follow this link and don't scroll up once you get there!
Don't forget to come back to comment :-p
Thank yous
Thank you, minchout for writing this wonderful fic and for giving me the inspiration and courage to take the art a little further!
Also thanks to tanisafan for laughing with me (and not at me) when I showed her my naughty sketches. Last but not least a big thank you to the BB-mods for maintaining our sandbox:)
Thank you for checking out my artpost! All comments are welcome and if you are at a loss for words for whatever reason, just leave me a smile or a frown? I just really love to know that you stopped by:)
