Hi Folks

As you may have noticed it if you watch me, I've just posted a brand new fan art devoted to Supernatural (yes again :giggle: ) and more particularly to one of the main heroes, Dean Winchester. You can check it here, if you want :

:thumb145901379:

I must admit that, at the beginning, as you can see below if you click on the thumbnail, the drawing wasn't looking the final version at all.

:thumb145900849:

First it was called "Bad Moon Rising" as a tribute to the song by Creedance Clearwater Revival (I almost had a kind of a "music orgasm" when I heard it on the show on an episode called Devil's trap (S1 x 22). Creedance Clearwater Revival at 9pm on Tv ? Come on, THAT'S "supernatural", more than all the monsters, wendigos, djinns and Lady in White visible in the program ! That's waaaay different from the pop crap I usually ear on television. Thanks Kripke for this and AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, not to mention The Blue Oyster Cult and Bad Company ! ).

Second, as you can see it was vertical. The composition of the picture is different.

Ok, so why didn't I publish this one in my main gallery ?

Because it's crap, that's why :giggle:

I'm not satisfied with the composition (too many things on the pix, it's a mess with no coherence), the texture of the background and the foreground are too different (that's what happen when you use "the dry media brush" tool for the character and a "tree brush" downloaded on the Internet with a smooth texture for the set...), the colors are a mess (the highlights are strange) and I spare you what I think about the cheap "skull inside the moon" effect that even the designer of an Iron Maiden album cover wouldn't dare to use...

To cut a long story short, I decided to start everything from scratch to reach what I consider a better result. I'm not lucky with Dean. As far as my latest fan art was concerned, I had to draw Jensen Ackles' face 8 times as you can see here : I think that this "prototype version" deserves to be put on the scraps too..with all the rest of my "wall of shame" :rofl:

That's it for this time.
Thanks for reading.
See you soon
PM
