Three paintings, one of which is R rated and NSFW (for nude cuddling in bed). The other two are G rated.

These are fabulous, and Dean looks so real and awesome as a police officer. Fantastic job!

Thank you! I had fun painting Cas in his Superhero gear, but I really wanted to paint Dean in his AU persona, too.

This is so brilliant!! I love the first one, the contrast and colours are devine. Totally sold on the story now, I'll have to go read it! <3

Thank you! I had an idea I really wanted to try for the cover - and the colours turned out just the way I wanted them.

I haven't read the story yet, but I was so taken with the title page pic at spn-j2-bigbang, that I had to come and comment. You did an amazing job with it. Both men are instantly recognizable, as themselves, while you also convey a very different feeling than the SPN vibe (i.e., you can tell, from the facial expressions--not just the attire--that this is not "Dean" and "Castiel").

I also have to say that it's not often that I feel the art "pulling" me to go read the story, but that is definitely the case, here. So major kudos, all around.

I love trying to catch likenesses, and expressions, so thank you for the wonderful compliment.

Oh. So beautiful. I hardly read Dean/Castiel, let alone AU versions of them. But ... oh so pretty pictures make me most curious. Just lovely!

Thank you! (I love the canon characters, but I do have a weakness for painting AUs *g*)

:D Thank you! I'm really happy with how Dean turned out on the cover.
