It completely does not surprise me that there is a Field Guide to Sam's Hair out there already.
(Taking a deep breath and jumping straight into self-promotion... eeek.)
The Big Bang story I did the art for went up today.
The story (Films About Ghosts) is utterly fantastic, with all the twistiness, darkness, trippiness, and angst one would expect from a trip through a Winchester's subconscious. It's gen, with some excellent Dean-Cas friendship and heartbreaking (and heartwarming) appearances from Bobby, Ellen, Jo, etc.
Art is here. I still need a lot of practice with the computer portion of the process.
I'm assuming this is a sneak peek of the next DVD???
PLEASE SAY YES, MUMMY, PLEASE.
Anne, that's really cool! How big did you draw the originals?
Thank you, ita !! The paper I used for the originals ranged from 9 x 12 to 11 x 14 to 19 x 12.5, and I did a little bit (or in some cases a lot) of cropping once I got things onto the computer.
Oh, if that is on the DVD, I will be pleased beyond all measure.
To ita's questions, yes, that's the guide I meant, and yes, I saw that in a bigger, non-.gif version of the back of the DVDs. Heh.
And oh my god, Anne -- that's awesome! I love especially the two of Dean and Sam for the cover image. (And I love the title of the story -- one of my favorite ever Counting Crows songs.)
Anne - love your drawing.
Also: would be excellent to have JA singing out takes on the dvds.
Thank you, Amy and sumi!

Oh, yes. And now I find I want to watch that "Eye of the Tiger" outtake again. And again.
How did you handle the scanning with originals that size? Or did you photograph them?
I was just looking over the faces of the Winchesters on my cube walls, and the worried expressions they have (the most relaxed does still have a bit of "Really? I will fuck your shit up, though") are cracking me up. A co-worker who doesn't watch TV much less Supernatural instantly identified the picture of Jensen and Jared as opposed to Sam and Dean. At which point I took that one down.
Plenty of space for the boys. Is all good.
In general, the SPN discs are disappointing. Way not enough extra features, especially ones involving the actors. It's S7, I guess? They're all been-there-done-that and know that the fangirls will scoop up anything they can get their hands on. And I'm sure it doesn't pay as much as a con would.
I scanned a couple of smaller drawings, but I used the camera for the most part (and found I liked it better, anyway). I did some cleanup/color adjustment in iPhoto and in SketchBookPro.

It's amazing how easy it is - even without sartorial or setting clues - to separate the characters from the actors.
