Title: As Through a Glass and Darkly
Author: lexicale
Artist: crimson_adder
Pairing: Sam/Dean, Hinduism
Ramble Gamble: This story is awesome you guys. I picked it for the simple pleasure of getting to play with Hindu symbolism and Indian patterns and designs, and then, to my delight, it was also SUPER EXCELLENT. It's a total overhaul of the mythology and it's done

okay, how 'bout now?

i don't know anything about hindu symbolism but i can tell that the pic of sam and dean is full of meaningful bits. it's a very intricate and colorful pic, and i like it a lot. the one of ruby and castiel is also really pretty.

heh, I'm actually right there with you. I only knew as much mythology as lexicale told me about, but it was awesome to try and fit them into SamnDean as we know them. :P thanks so much, I'm glad you like them!

This is seriously gorgeous. So intricate and ornate and just visually stunning--the two birds tangled together especially. Caught my eye as I was scrolling through my flist and I just had to pause and stare. I can tell you must have worked for hours and hours on these, but it really paid off. They are just brilliant.

Thank you! I'm thrilled they're as attention grabbing as I had hoped, hah. :) They were a lot of work, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Ooooh, pretty colours! Such marvelous details and I like the shapes you created for both drawings. The letters are beautiful too:) Wow, those patterns must have been so much work! I will now spend the rest of my day (and probably the whole weekend) finding all the symbolism. I love it!

[crimson_adder]

Thanks! \o/ Haha, I'm glad someone else was interested! I tried to keep every symbol relating both to the myths and the boys. :)

When I saw that summary I so hoped whoever picked it would do something inspired by Hindu art and eee, you did! :D Sooo gorgeous, it's a feast for the eyes!

[crimson_adder]

I picked it specifically for that very reason! :DDDD Thanks! \o/
