Artwork SPN_J2_BigBang 2019 - the second

Jul 16, 2019 18:44

The second summary I claimed for the 2019 spn_j2_bigbang lured me in with mermaid Gen, merman Jared and sailor Jensen, how could I resist that delicious combo? I got up in the middle of the night to grab it, haha!
Don't be scared off by the special sexy times, it's a wonderful story full of world building and merfolk history:) If underwater shenanigans are exactly what you want; I made some paperporn to go with the fic... (and for all images goes: click to zoom *grins*)




Title: Not Fit To Live On Land
Author: SueDeeNimh
Artist: beelikej
Art Rating: PG (paperpeen Behind the Scenes) | Medium: Papercutting

Summary: Legend says mermaids lure sailors to their doom, but what do they want with them, anyway? Hapless sailor Jensen is about to find out the hard way. Gen and Jared are half cold-blooded fish, and they need a warm-blooded human's help for their offspring to survive, but unless the three of them learn to speak each others' languages, it's going to be a rough ride. Can Jensen bring himself to let love in-literally?

The poster can be folded in several ways to show different parts of the story:


Mermaid Gen flips around to save sailor Jensen:)

Cutting the characters



First sketch and the pencil version for cutting (I refined Gen's tail a little more later)




A rough cut to figure out positions of each character.








For Jared's "dark ocean gray" tail I found the perfect photo with a subtle blue/gray gradient sky.








I love playing with light while cutting textures:)












Because mermaid Gen flips around in the poster, I had to make a front and back!




It's NOT a wig! *grins*

Building & Folding the poster







Figuring out where to position Gen.
















Connecting Gen to the blue background, covering the paper with hair.
Now, if you look closely you may discover that I added a plant in a strategic place.








I had originally planned to use coloured paper for the plants, but it seems like the construction will get too heavy and I decide to try pencils instead (then I would still have the option to cover it with paper if needed).








I like the look of the pencil colouring, so I'm done! Time for some dramatic close ups:)









Step by Step folding











Tadaah!

Sexy times!
