Art: change the fates' design

Jul 03, 2012 18:16

So I made art for _mournthewicked's wonderful J2 Tangled AU, change the fates' design, which you should all go read. ♥ I loved how she brought the magical elements into a modern retelling, and I tried to bring some of that storytelling whimsy into the art.

When I started making art for the fic, I wasn't sure how I was going to incorporate the boys into it. _mournthewicked actually gave me the inspiration for this when she was giving me feedback on my draft art. This one was the hardest of all the art I made, so I hope it came out okay. The gorgeous texture is by Inthename-stock at DeviantArt... it reminded me a lot of the movie without being overpowering. The font I used on all of the art is Augusta. Jensen's hedgehog's name is Rigby. Rigby is a badass. \o/

This was my draft art, and I really felt strongly about continuing to develop it because of the way it depicts Jensen's physical journey to the ocean, his dream/destiny. My favorite part is probably the footsteps; you guys would not believe how difficult it is to find decent pictures of footsteps in the sand, but I liked the one I picked because I could feel the racing motion in it. MAYBE THAT IS JUST ME, IDK. I used a blue texture by justfreefallin and one of oxoniensis's paper textures on this one.

Jensen has the ocean, of course. I picked the road for Jared because he's a wanderer and because of the journey across the country he takes Jensen on.

And finally, THE BEST PART:

So, okay. I read the fic draft and then immediately wanted to rewatch Tangled, WHICH I DID. And then this happened, pretty much the same day. And then all of my chat laughed forever over it, and then I gave it to _mournthewicked for the lulz. JARED AND JENSEN ACTUALLY LOOK REALLY GOOD LIKE THAT, LOL.

Dedication time! Thanks, as always, to clex_monkie89 for being my art beta and generally putting up with me, unavoidedcrisis and ordinaryink for cheering me on and offering artsy opinions, and everyone else in chat just for being awesome and getting my jokes. I love you guys! Thanks to _mournthewicked for writing an awesome fic and being so easy to work with, and thanks to wendy for encouraging/guilting me into signing up for this challenge for the sixth(!) year in a row. ♥

This hedgehog icon is actually one of my first LJ icons. NEVER HAS IT BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE. \o/
