YOU MADE IT! \o/

And duuuuuude. This is so cool. Kind of like the picture was taken in the middle of an explosion. And I love how Sam's plaid blends so well with the black/red contrast.

I DID! [o/

Thank you so much! I've had that cap sitting on my harddrive through a few different computers now, and I've always wanted to use it for something, but was never sure what. And this was just perfect, because it really fits.

I know that feeling all too well! I trawl a lot of photo sites for reference pics, and every once in a while I'll find one whose body type would fit perfectly for someone if I wanted to make a manip out of it, but can never figure out what to use it for.

Oh, man, I love/hate that! That moment that you find the perfect picture, but have no idea what it's perfect for. It's a particualrly rude version of artist's block.

You know those "adopt a plot-bunny" type posts where authors post their snippets of fics they'll never get around to writing for others to use? I think it'd be cool to have one of those for art, like to share manip bases and things. But at the same time I don't know if I could let go of my plotbunnies LOL.

Ugh! Very graphic...poor Sammy! Great use of prompt, screen cap and misty blood spatters!! I really love the sense of movement behind Sam too, like we can see him falling backwards into darkness.

Thank you so much! I really am happy the movement came through, because I wanted it to feel like it was a gif, without it actually being one.

Agh, I love that cap, so violent but kinda beautiful, and you've really brought that up here with the treatments of it. Love that light, and the colour!

Oh I LOVE this! His stance is just a touch unexpected for what the art is saying and I really, really like that -- something about how straight he's holding his head, or sth? -- suuuuper good choice of cap!! The colour is spot on and I am enjoying the blood splatter. Oh! And the mirror writing! I just noticed that! Gorgeous *____*

CREEPY. I LIKE.

Oh wow, this is so heartbreaking, and yet really beautiful. :O

Such a fascinating image: I feel like I'm watching the scene happen in slow motion.
