petite_madameThe Calendar-Wallpaper Project: Calendar-free wallpapers!
What's the concept?
During the year 2011, I posted one drawing a month (alongside other arts, it wasn't my only project) all inspired by a fan fiction (to cut a long story short, it was one month, one drawing, one calendar wallpaper). It was a way to pay tribute to all the authors and stories I enjoyed in the past few years in the Supernatural fandom.
What's different from your preceding posts?
In this post, all the wallpapers are available in their original size (or a bit smaller) but without the calendar at the bottom. It means you can now use them whenever you want! (From the feedbacks I received, something tells me that some of you are going to spend their whole year 2012 with the wallpaper devoted to The Doors of Time
)
The Calendars
Click on the title of the art to full view
- January - The Doors of Time
- February - Small Small World
- March - A Bleak Understanding in Reverse

- June - That He Will
- July - Moonstruck
- August - Do I look bulletproof to you?
- September - Last Day On Earth
- October - The Bright Lights of Disturbia
- November - More than you know

And as for my favorite wallpaper, I'd have to say it's the one for "The Doors of Time", because I am still in love with the little music notes moving around the picture and how Jensen looks in it :)
P.S. Your code is messed up and you have

A lot of people asked me to repost the wallpapers without the calendar at the bottom so I wrote this entry even if it wasn't easy to find in my HD all my calendars. ^^;;
I fixed the code ^^;; LJ is driving me nuts! IDK why, three names were missing and felisblanco was listed twice. LJ's RTE will never cease to amaze me...

I love Small Small World too, I LOVE drawing the DelMontes!

Date: 2011-12-30 01:16 am (UTC)As for a fave. Oh, man, that is tough. They are all lovely. Just stunning. If I have to choose one that just stops me and leaves me breathless every time it rotated on my wallpaper program it's got to the be Jensen you drew for The Doors of Time. Admitedly, I'm biased by that story -- which is sheer perfection. But you did it such justice. That's *him*. Not just a young version of Jensen but the character I'd pictured when reading the story. That otherworldly look, the glow. It's probably the lighting I'm reacting to the most. Plus the expression. And the cat's tale. All so magically detailed. *sigh*
P.S. The September link appears broken.

Date: 2011-12-30 06:26 pm (UTC)And...3 for the DOT :3
You are right, the lighting is very particular in this art. I don't use this kind of lighting a lot in my art because it's pretty difficult to get the shadows and highlights right. It comes from the bottom. If I can avoid it, I do ^^;;
You were not the only one to request this post! I didn't really think about it but from all the PMs I received apparently, some people were waiting for it in order to use their favorite wallpaper whenever they want :)

Date: 2011-12-30 06:41 pm (UTC)You are right about the art showing a private moment in the life of J & J ^^ That's exactly how I conceived this February wallpaper, as if one of the Del Montes had taken a photos of the boys :3

Date: 2011-12-30 02:10 am (UTC)My default wallpaper is Bulletproof, right now.
I do think that my favorite one is Future Tense, though.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-30 06:48 pm (UTC)I LOVED working on Future Tense. I don't draw fantasy art a lot with Faeries and stuffs so it was a great experience (even if the foliage drove me nuts....) SO SO many leaves! ^^;;
no subject
Date: 2011-12-30 02:22 am (UTC)You did more QB 'Verse art and I MISSED IT? *whips self in repentance*
Err, haha, that one's gonna have to be my favorite because I am, like, really painfully predictable. But I also really love the one for Future Tense, the way you did the tree spirit is just so beautiful.

Date: 2011-12-30 03:44 am (UTC)Of course though I have to admit that the art for The Doors of Time holds a very special place in my heart since you managed to catch the Jensen in my story exactly like I pictured him. I know you've been having trouble with the pieces you were planning for an art post for Doors but I still hope you'll manage to finish it some day. The pieces you showed me are all so absolutely amazing, I open that folder to look at them at least once a week. Believe me, I couldn't be happier about them, they capture the feeling of the fic so perfectly and are just so beautiful I'm in awe.
I also have a very weak spot for the August one. He just looks so... guh! And the look in his eyes... A perfect mix of hotness and sadness. I can sit and stare at that picture forever.
Thank you so very much for including my story in your project. I will forever be humbly grateful to you for that honour. *hugs you hard*

Date: 2012-01-01 04:41 pm (UTC)That's an amazing compliment!! It's always difficult to know if you drew the character right, I mean like the author pictured it in their head, particularly when it comes to RPS ^^
I know you've been having trouble with the pieces you were planning for an art post for Doors but I still hope you'll manage to finish it some day.
Don't tell me about it! The trouble is that I started too long ago, I improved a bit since and now I only see the flaws in my DOT art. I know that it's stupid. I sent them to Vongue (a great fan artist), she loved them but IDK, if I could, I would start everything from scratch! I'm REALLY REALLY sorry about that :/
I also have a very weak spot for the August one.
You are not the only one ^^ Most people voted for The Doors of Time as their favorite wallpaper but the August one came second (or third). In fact, it's a tie between this one and "A Bleak Understanding in Reverse"
Thank you so very much for including my story in your project.
Thank YOU for giving me the authorization to draw an art inspired by The DOT in the first place!! I SO wish I could have carried on this project in 2012 but it was too much work ^^;; It was a bit hard to always be ready on time at the end of each month. That's why I stopped. There were so many fics I wanted to work on but it was too difficult to prepare each post with an art in 10 sizes and a custom banner ^^;;
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Happy New Year!
*HUGS*

Date: 2011-12-30 03:52 am (UTC)And I can't pick a favorite, they're all so beautiful!!! Do I Look Bulletproof is probably one I would call a fave. Last Day on Earth, Doors of Time... A Bleak Understanding just makes me want to cry. God, that story... okay, I need fluff now.
Your artwork is awesome and amazing, and I'll likely want to save all of these. <3
