The fic this art was for was not completed. If you have questions about the content of the images, please ask and I will do my best to explain.

These are the graphics and fanmix I made for my first claim for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang. Thanks to my #safespace friends for being awesome impromptu art betas and cheerleaders.

Fic: Nowhere Man & the Whiskey Girl
Art Rating: G
Fic Summary: Gabriel fell long before the birth of Christ - although that was his last official mission for the home that he had deserted. The fact that he was left more-or-less alone for the first few millenia cemented his belief that their Father really had no interest in his first children any more; Heaven was no longer the same, Michael was not the same, not after the Fall. So he slipped from Heaven, and met a Trickster one day in the south of France. Their years together lead to her exhaustion of the world, and once she leaves Gabriel is the most powerful Trickster in existence. Of course, that all goes to Hell when the Apocalypse starts, and Gabriel finds his loyalties torn between the family he still loves and the new life he has forged for himself on Earth.

Notes:
Click images to see them full-sized (dimensions are listed).

Teaser:




Fic Cover:


(1150 x 1600)

This fic was very Gabriel-centric. This cover represents his transformation from angel to trickster, even if he doesn't appear.


Alternate Cover:


(533 x 800)

I felt bad about not including any characters in the first cover, so I made this alternate cover with a more modern feeling.


Movie Poster:


(1150 x 1800)
Note that this fic is not actually a space opera. I just heart the original Star Wars posters a bit too much.



Story Art:


(1024 x 768)

Gabe and Pan hiding behind the star. Pan is the trickster god who Gabriel meets. At one point she shows him how to hide his angelic energy behind a star so the other angels can't find him.




(1600 x 1200)

Pan in Gabe's head. Click here for a detailed view of the Pan manip. At one point Pan uses her own self to mask Gabriel, being absorbed into his head. She annoys him by singing songs like the "COPS" theme, which is why Gabe looks so peeved.




(1600 x 2400)

Text reads: Gabriel stood on the small rise on the far side of the lake, looking out across its waters. He felt Pan appear, taking up her customary position slightly behind him; he had not called her here, but their shared experience within her body had linked her to him, somehow, and she always seemed to know when he needed something.

Gabe forms a pocket world as a refuge. (Let's use the fact that this scene doesn't take place on earth to explain why the lighting of this piece doesn't make sense.)




(795 x 595)

This is an alternate take on the same scene as above.




(1600 x 1280)

Cas and Dean. Based on this quote from the fic: “He's impossible; an enigma. I like enigmas.” I included Dean in the wallpaper because the fic was listed as being Dean/Cas, though none of the finished parts I read had included it.




(1000 x 700)

Beat up Gabe. At one point Gabe gets tortured for killing the trickster whose body he stole.




(1600 x 1200)

Sam, Cas & Dean walk past a stone angel on guard in Chile. This is where the draft of the fic ended. Everything from this point on was conjecture based on a summary of things to come. The final battle took place in Chile.




(1600 x 1200)

Gabriel before the Seelie Court. He was called to account for impersonating a trickster.




(1350 x 965)

The End. Sam is alone with the Impala.

Lovely work! and all my sympathy for the story not being posted - I've had that happen and I know how disappointing that is.

These are all beautiful. The colors are amazing! And the compositions, and the way the body language and looks on the characters' faces make sense, rather than just being the first best pic of the actors. This is my favorite art post so far this big bang :-)

Seriously, they're so beautiful I'm considering using one of them as my wallpaper, even though I just made a new one for myself.

Oh yeah, those work really well with the silhouettes! You did well not shoehorning the actors in there. Love the purple :-)

Thank you for the offer of wallpapers, that's very generous of you! I will let you know if I would like resized version. I'm very moody about art and tend not to use anything too engaging as a wallpaper, so it takes me weeks or months (sometimes years) to move a pic from my art folder to the desktop.

Your art is stunning! The coloring of the fic cover, the Gabe/Pan manip and the Cas/Dean manip are especially nice - the way you compose all the different elements into each picture is lovely.

Just found these via a rec for the music mix and am very glad I popped over to check it out. These are gorgeous - I think that is the right word! I love the richness of the colours you have chosen - even the ones that are deliberately washed out are still vibrant. I think my favourites are Sam alone, Gabriel in front of the Selie Court (very subtle and use of light is wonderful) and "He is an impossible thing" - though it was hard as I like them all. Oh and I love the album cover, those greens... :D

You should post these on LJ's Supernatural art too
