ARTpost: ReverseBang 2020-1!
For this year's first SPN_ReverseBang I wanted to do less hands-on arts & crafts and I wanted to see if I could create a paperlook digitally. After claiming, my author came up with a wonderful concept for my torn-up Jeff photos and I ended up playing with real paper for the additional art. I still got my dose of digital fiddling though:)
Unfortunately due to RL circumstances, the author wasn't able to finish the fic, so I'm posting art only at this time.
May I present:
Prompt Number: R1010
Art title: I've reached out in the dark to touch things a thousand miles away
This is the description/prompt I added to the artwork: Jeff's face at different ages, torn apart, but forming a complete portrait. Jensen is looking at him. Is this a vision of the man (men?) of Jensen's dreams? Is this a sweet stalker fic? Or maybe a time travel experience? Go wild, go long or go short, as long as these two get together at least once (to snuggle or for sexy times...) I can live with a sad ending as well as a happily ever after;o)
The artwork I made based on the draft of the story is behind the cut, as well as a full Making Of for both the digital and the additional paper art:)
Story Header
Summary of the fic concept: Jensen is a spell breaker and an anonymous source has sent him a scrapbook full of curses dedicated entirely to JDM...
Dividers
Each divider represents a spell from the scrapbook:)

The Making Of
So the original set-up was made digitally. I made a few progress screenshots:
I first made a composition out of different photos of Jeff. When I was happy with all the pieces, I experimented on the torn paper effect.
For these rips I used a combination of brushes from brusheezy to 'tear' the photo edges with the eraser tool.
Then I used the brush to 'paint' white torn edges; I shoved these behind the photolayer and I sharpened the edges to make them rougher.
Behind the scenes
The storyheader and dividers were made with actual rough drawings and strips of torn paper. I also created a couple of the spell ingredients and added photos of flowers and other elements. Here is a sneakpeek behind the scenes:

BONUS
All Jeff's faces \o/
Thank you dollarformyname for all the fun brainstorming, I loved all your ideas and was thrilled that our final choice inspired me to play with paper some more. Maybe one day we'll be able to carry on with our collab. <3
