The Calendar-Wallpaper Project: Calendar-free wallpapers!

The 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

They are all gorgeous, honey, I am blown away every time you post anything, by the sheer beauty of your art. So amazing.

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*

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 ^^

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*
