Aww, this is lovely. Also, freckles! :D :D :D

This is all so fucking CUTE AND ROMANTIC AND LOVELY that I'm going to DIE. Gah. [hands flailing] Can I just say that I LOVE the sepia addition, too? I never would have thought of that!! It fits the fic so well. And their little hipbones, mmmmmmmmmmmm :) You are a fantabulous artist. Thank you again. That fic was incomplete until you came along <3

[dancing_adrift]

I'm so happy you love it!! ^_^ Yeah, the sepia does kind of fit... there's sort of an old-time feel to the shop, and therefore to the fic, what with the physical books, and the records, and the old typewriters and tin soldiers and such... I've said it before, I'll say it again - I wanted to make more art and I just ran out of time. Who knows - maybe someday I'll make more and surprise you ;) No promises, but you never know! ;) So happy you're happy with the art <3

[dancing_adrift]

Oh, and feel free to let me know if you'd like anything done differently for when you add the art to the fic. Once I'm done with this year's spn_j2_bigbang (so, around June 9th) I'll have more time and I'd be happy to collaborate more on the art to fit your fic, if you want. You've got my email! :)

Loved the story and I love the art! Thanks for sharing.

Right? Isn't it just the sweetest? I couldn't stop thinking about it and its lovely imagery after I read it, so I was so happy for the chance to make some art for it, which I'm glad to hear you love too! Thank you! ^_^

A) Thank you!! ^_^ <3 <3 <3
B) Whenever I use GIMP as my primary art-creating software, I almost always end up editing it in Picasa somehow once it's finished (usually for cropping purposes, because it's just so much easier there, lol); once I'm inside the program, I just can't help myself from playing around with some of its filters and special effects - it's just so much fun! I'm glad you like the variations :)
C) I'm amused that you say that about Jared's crotch... non_tiembo_mala had some similar... 'issues' when I asked for her feedback on the WIP, and this finished edit is actually... less conspicuous? I can only assume it's a *good* distraction, regardless ;) lol
D) So glad you like it all! Thanks again! <3
