Title: Like a Fever Burning Faster
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Notes: Many thanks to blacklilly for the how-to-colour-in-Photoshop tips and also to cantarina1 for the helpful comments. :] Since I'm still very much a novice at digital drawing + colouring, this was quite a challenge (but I like to think that I've learned from the experience ;)). selecasharp, it was a pleasure to work with you, and hey, if you ever want to collaborate again, let me know! :> (I do wish I could have sketched out a couple more scenes, but due to RL constraints, I could only manage one scene. Next time, perhaps...!)

Awww, this is lovely!! You've done a great job XD

Go you!

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! :D This project has been quite a challenge for me, so I'm really happy to hear that you like it!

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

awww lovely! :D

awaiting the link to the fic :D

[fishpatrol]

Thanks! :D I've added a link to the fic! (ahaha, I love how you read SPN fic but still haven't watched SPN ;D But don't worry, this fic is hothothot and no knowledge of canon is needed)

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

The fic is pretty awesome! Congrats! :D (one day I will actually submit something for a big bang -___-)

And lol fandoms that don't require ~intimate canon knowledge~ are my favourite ones XDDDDD Besides, there's not that much to know about SPN canon, imo! XD

[fishpatrol]

And lol fandoms that don't require ~intimate canon knowledge~ are my favourite ones

I totally get it -- every once in a while, I get drawn into fandoms where I'm really not all that familiar with the canon. XD I spent all of yesterday and today reading fic from various fandoms -- including Kradam. /o\

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

OMFG TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS KRADAM BUSINESS

[fishpatrol]

I've been reading stuff by astolat, jerakeen, and seperis -- and listening to podfic as well. :>:> Do you have any recs? ;)

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

Here (http://www.delicious.com/mistykasumi/kris%2Fadam)'s my delicious tag ;) Of course my favourites have tags like love and lovelovelove ;)

And my absolute favourite fic in the fandom is Future Legend (http://winterlive.livejournal.com/507425.html).

idk, I'm not too impressed by jerakeen's stuff, tbh. I was recced a fic by seperis but have yet to read it. 3:

[fishpatrol]

Awesome -- I'll go through it when I get a chance tonight. ;D Thanks!

I'm not big on post-Apocalypse settings, but I do have another Kradam fic by winterlive bookmarked.

Jerakeen's stuff tends to be more cutesy (which I don't think is really your thing ;)) and sometimes cracky -- I'm not sure if I'll read her longer stuff, but her shorter stuff were fun to read. :>

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

winterlive is my absolute favourite author in the fandom. She has an unmatched ability to really write emotion...I would rec Future Legend on that alone. The setting is just a bonus to me. :p

I liked a few of Jerakeen's fics, but ngl I think she's overrated.

Oh, this is adorable, bb. I love the details of their hair and their cute little socked feet and the glow of the candles and and and -- There's such a quiet intensity about it that's very lovely. And Sam's hand on Dean's shoulder as he writes on his back! *shivers with delight*

And the kissing one! Awww. <333

[fishpatrol]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment ♥! I'm really, really glad that the atmosphere of it came through because it was a struggle, trying to make the picture less flat and dull.

The kissing one was quite fun to draw! :D Interlocked lips are surprisingly difficult to draw, haha~

[selecasharp.livejournal.com]

I said it before, but I will say it again - the art is awesome! I am so happy with what you did! It looks amazing and it's so cute! :D I LOVE the look on Sam's face in the kiss picture, and I love pretty much everything about the original picture. It was also awesome working with you, and we should TOTALLY do it again. :D Thank you so much!

[fishpatrol]

Thank you♥♥♥! I'm so glad that everything worked out fine -- but I do wish I had the time to draw some of the other scenes (it would have been fun to try my hand at some of the more...R-rated scenes ;D).

[cantarina]

*draws hearts and stars all over you*

(But not the work. Even if hearts might be appropriate.)

[fishpatrol]

Hee! *hearts on you*

I'm not sure if I muted the green enough! But I threw on as many layers of filters as I could. XD;;

[cantarina]

It looks way better! It's much softer than it was and doesn't draw the eye the way it used to.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose to soften image even more strongly around the area where Sam is drawing the tattoo? It's a really interesting choice and I'm curious to hear your reasons behind it.

[fishpatrol]

I applied a lens flare effect (which is why there's that glowy area extending out toward Sam's leg) -- it was supposed to kind of give the impression of ~*magic*~ and ~*spellwork*~ :>:>

[inanna-maat.livejournal.com]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... so sweet...

[fishpatrol]

Thanks! :D

[blacklilly.livejournal.com]

Awww yay you finished it!!
I wish you and PS have many long and happy years together! :)

[fishpatrol]

I am never going to conquer Photoshop! D:!! *flails*

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

Your art is beautiful! Sam's shaggy hair is adorable, and the little touches, like Dean's bandaged wrist - I love it!

[fishpatrol]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! :)))

[akintay.livejournal.com]

Awwww, these are great &hearts

[fishpatrol]

Thanks so much ♥!

[jenilees.livejournal.com]

Lovely art! I like the colours in the one with Sam painting on Dean's back they're so soft and Dean looks so zen. LOL And Dean's kissing Sam one is adorable. I love that surprised look on Sam's face.

[fishpatrol]

I'm so glad to hear that you like the colouring of the first one! And hee, Sam's face in the second one was a lot of fun to draw. Thanks so much! :D

[aldehyde.livejournal.com]

YOUR BOYS ARE ALWAYS SO CUTE, BB! i love sam's intense concentration in the first pic and his surprise in the second. awwwwwwwwwwwh <333
