Art Post - Come, Morning Light

Welcome to the Art Post of Come,Morning Light, a fan fiction by geckoholic written for the dc_dystopia challenge. If you want to read this great Dean/Castiel fic, just click HERE , you won't regret it!

For this challenge, I didn't work on my own, I collaborated with quickreaver which means there are TWO art posts (isn't it awesome? )! You can find Quick's art post HERE !

Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to collaborate on the same drawing as we originally planed but we hope to do it one day. For this challenge, we split the arts in two: Quickreaver took care of the poster art and I took care of the soundtrack. Be careful because my art are spoilery for the fic.

SOUNDTRACK ART - Color Versions



The dc_dystopia challenge is focused on dark themes and, as you may guess the atmosphere of Come, Morning Light is far from the one of a happy curtain fic. Without being too spoilery, the situation for Dean, Sam and Cas gets darker and darker and I wanted to show the same thing in my art. I lowered the saturation of my drawings from 100% to 0%  to create a gradation and went from very bright and vivid colors (Art #3) to a black and white drawing (Art #13). For this matter, I worked in full colors and just used the "saturation tool" of Photoshop to lower the saturation. Here are the drawings in their original colors and size if you are interested

1) Walk on the ocean
2) Imitation of Life
3) Hypnotised
4) Lies of the Beautiful People
5) Don't Dream it's over
6) Break the Spell

Not a Dean/Cas fan, you know, but your art - arghhhh!!! So beautiful - can't pretend not loving it :D

*hugs*

Beautiful, everything! The shack is exactly like I had imagined it while reading the story. Hypnotised, Break the Spell, and Lies of the Beautiful People have that dark edge the story carries on so well, while Walk on the Ocean, Imitation of Life, and Don't Dream, It's over carry the bittersweet so well. <3

Still not really my pairing, but OMG these pictures are gorgeous!
Especially the "Imitation of Life"-one ♥ (The pose, colors, everything! I could stare at it for a long time without getting bored, because WELL DONE!)

You always draw the greatest things!

[mangacat201.livejournal.com]

God, aren't you just amazing at what you do. Like. SPLENDID. And I don't even ship them.

[tdorian.livejournal.com]

Magnifique !!! Il ne me reste plus qu'à lire l'histoire. :D

[hyearts.livejournal.com]

As always, your art is stunning ♥ I love it when you work on challenges like this, especially Dean/Cas centered ;)

[geckoholic]

Not the first time I've said this, but it can't be said enough: EVERYTHING IS SO GORGEOUS!! And so are you; it's been great working with you! ♥

I just listened to the songs in order the first time, and you did a great job with the soundtrack too. They fit really well! Thank you for all the work you did for the story. ♥

[ohmiya-sg.livejournal.com]

*sigh* So wonderful.♥

[darklondonsky.livejournal.com]

Ohgod I love it a lot! With art that attractive, I wanna read the fic now, even when I ship S/D more. :-D
But...look at the utter beauty! *stares*

[rince1wind.livejournal.com]

Lovely artwork, you and Quickreaver!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's hard to pick out a favourite from this set - I was lucky enough to read the fic in advance doing a bit of last minute beta'ing and it broke my heart. Yours and quickreaver's art is just the perfect compliment to the story - I am so glad one of you did a picture of the beach house, the colours in that are so idylic and rich, and the final B&W picture is the complete antithesis which fits so well. Although I really love your Castiel in both the sofa one and the window one (that tortured/guilty expression) I think the sheer loneliness of Dean in that last one is the best....
Awesome dividers too. :D

Oh and I nearly forgot - Toad the Wet Sprocket!!! I loved their single All That I Want but so few people have every heard of them!

[darkforetold.livejournal.com]

Huge Dean/Cas fan! I love your art! It's so beautiful! Thank you for gracing us with your beautiful talent!

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

I'm not a D/C shipper, but ZOMG! your art!!! So stunning that I'm mesmerized. Mmmm, the author geckoholic is one of my favorite writers from SPN fandom so maybe I will give the fic a try after all.

I am in awe of your work every time! "Imitation of Life" with Dean and Cas is so charming and strikingly beautiful! I am dazzle by Dean's happy smile and Cas serious but oh so Cas look! ^^ Words can't describe how gorgeous you drew them together =) Lovin the leg there XD!!! and the Lies of the Beautiful - T___T So firey intense! Sammy~ I'm curious now on the fic to see what happen there! It will be on my to read list when I find the chance out of my work to. And Don't Dream it's Over is gorgeous! I like how Cas is looking through window. And the brothers hug!!! I luv hug! And don't break the spell, the B/W the concept fits perfectly and makes it oh so dark with the fiery smoky skeleton head ! I knew when you said to wait for the dc_dystopia you said "your glass will be half empty" , your work, it's so intense!~!!

[eviljellybean88.livejournal.com]

not a dean/cas fan but still such pretty, pretty artwork :D

[anifsemaj.livejournal.com]

Amazing, as usual. I love the effect on Sam in Don't Dream it's Over.

[hiroyuki-hydex.livejournal.com]

I am not D/C fan, but your art very beautiful!!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

Beautiful as always! My favourite is Imitation of life - love the intimate pose, the way the light falls on them, and the wonderful perspective. The colours in Walk on the Ocean are gorgeous and the whole scene looks so inviting.

[slinkymilinky.livejournal.com]

Absolutely freakin AMAZING. I love all of them but especially 'Imitation of life' - YUMMY LIGHTING! \o/ and 'Don't dream it's over' because disintegrating Sam looks fantastic! :D

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

Dean in shorts is best thing ever :DDD Fantastic!

[artmetica.livejournal.com]

Ugggh my sucky office inet connection prevents me from full-viewing and downloading these aaaaaaa T-T So I'll just comment about what I can see right now!

Walk on the Ocean: Woah a scenery drawing!? +_+ It feels very peaceful and I admire your patience in painting this, especially with that house and swing!
Imitation of Life: Heeeey I know this one XD Thank you so much for showing this earlier ♥ I love this! The relaxed pose and Dean's sweet smile! I'm amazed by Cas' expression here, he looks scary and Dean doesn't see that look. It's kinda freaking me out, I wonder what's on his mind! I have to go read the fic after commenting on you ladies XD
Hypnotised: Ooh man this is all kinds of awesome! The background is literally explosive, I like it! XD Also, the shiny hair and highlights, things I adore most about your art ^^ ♥
Lies of the Beautiful People: This is stunning and a little disturbing! Poor Sam... >_< Love the fire effect, the blood, and is that burnt flesh on the side of his face? It's really well done! ... poor choice of words? ^^;
Don't Dream It's Over: This one is probably my favorite piece in addition to Imitation of Life! The expression on Sam, the disintegrating effect, and Cas especially looks so nervous (his hands say it too!)
Break the Spell: Oh my, Dean is perfectly drawn... and so sad T-T It's also great to see your de-Saturation concept, it's very clever! ♥

Awesome work once again, dear!!! Can't wait for your RR! ^o^ ♥

[akintay.livejournal.com]

I don't even like the pairing, but god, these are GORGEOUS ♥

Fantastic, sweetheart!!
