New artwork at last! Het Big Bang '11 Dean/Buffy fun! XD

Hey, everyone! Before I talk about my new art, let me say that it's a good thing I went to go see Real Steel two weeks ago, because Clay 20 was waiting for me in my inbox when I returned. Good movie, BTW. Fun, killer soundtrack, and I even had my shirtless Mr. Jackman moment. :3 Granted, it only lasted about 20 seconds and most of it was collarbone-up since he was talking with his love interest, but hey. Also I was only one of four women in the theater, and the other three were moms with passels of boys in tow. *snicker* I HAVE NO REGRETS.

Now, on to the artwork!! Some of you might recall from this post that I signed up for my first fandom Big Bang. To sum up, someone writes a story, I draw fanart for it, both go up with everyone else's stories and art and if all goes well, I earn tons of new hits. Fanart is great for getting your name out there! XD

Due to time problems, I could only chose one fic to illustrate, and since both of my friends who signed up couldn't make the deadline (plot bunnies can be so difficult when they refuse to behave! My poor friends tried so hard. *hugs them both*) I chose a fic based purely on the story info. My goal was to pick something popular to earn lots of potential views.

I went with a fic I'd been eyeing since I signed up for the Big Bang: a crossover between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, in which Buffy and Dean have some zombie-killing adventure and maybe a little romance, too. ^^ Stories needed to have 9,000 words minimum to earn an artist, then we had one month before the final deadline. The author needed to finish 25,000 works total, and the artist complete two pieces.

I wanted to illustrate two actual scenes from the fic, one action and one romance. I found a great action scene in the 9,000 word draft my author sent me. Unfortunately, she was unable to finish her fic in time, and so for my second pic, I decided to use artistic license and indulge myself. Yes, I finished my pics even without a story to go along. I'm sure Dean and Buffy fans will still want to see them, even without the accompanying fanfic. :D

Both pics were surprisingly easy to create. I didn't sweat blood to draw or rush to finish by the deadline at all. ^^V I'm also getting the hang of digital painting, much to my pleasure. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I definitely see improvement. Kyaa! XD

( Click here for art! SFW, just a little blood. They WERE fighting zombies, after all. ^^V )

I will be posting both pics to my DA account in a day or two. ^^ But for tonight, I think posting them here is enough code wrangling. Whew! Hope you like them!!!
