Eight comic panels created for the
ashtraythief's wonderful, cracktastic fic about fairy!Jensen and his throwback omega werewolf genes and the sweaty lumberjack (Jared) who soothes his heat.
Teaser below



Some notes on the project:
This is only my second piece of fandom art and I'm still trying to get the hang of merging what I can do with paper (I'm an old) and what I need to do with the computer. Each panel was created in pencil, inked, scanned and cleaned up using GIMP, then reprinted and colored by hand with colored pencils. The completed panels were then photographed (I know I should have scanned but it made the colors muted, I need to adjust something I'm sure) on a smart phone. I would have liked to create more pages but time ran away from me. I hope my lovely author is pleased.
Because I'm still learning I would love feedback, but helpful critique please. "Let me tell you what you could use to improve...etc." or "here's a helpful link..." is the sweet spot.

I'm not that familiar with GIMP, but I'm guessing you can make adjustments with filters just like in Photoshop; the soft light layer usually does the trick for brightening colours - you could try and google that term. Feel free to contact me for behind the scenes art chatting.

You captured Jensen and Jared perfectly, and omg that ass and those abs *drools*
I can't give you feedback on art or technique because I can't draw a straight line but to me, it looks awesome :) Thanks so much for choosing to illustrate my story, this made me sooo happy!!!!
