These are all magnificent! You can really tell that this fic and its setting held a special place in your heart, your vision of Paris simply stunning! And your author couldn't have asked for anyone better for a sense of love for that city.

I love all your pieces, of course, but I love how much happiness and whimsy they have in the headers and the Poster Art especially. I'm in love with the way you draw teeth, for cryin' out loud. TEETH I SAY! Those seem such an easy and minor detail, but a lot of the time they turn out terrifying in hands less skilled than yours! And damn, but that smoking picture of Jensen is sinfully hot and yet so beautifully simple. Plus all the beautiful roses everywhere! And YAY you even have an animated gif banner! They are always fun and challenging to, and you have done it wonderfully here. I could seriously go on for ever with everything I love in this post.

I am in absolute awe of your artistic mastery. The things you do with Photoshop and Painter-- seriously with Painter, I can barely get the pencils to work, so the fact you can do ALL OF THIS astonishes me!-- not to mention traditional. ALL SO BREATHTAKING! You are a fandom treasure. ♥♥♥

Yes! I can't believe I managed to grab a J2 fics that takes place in Paris! When I read the BB summary I was like "THIS ONE!! THIS ONE!" and I was very happy when Wendy told me the fic was mine! In addition just a couple of days before I went to an exhibition called "Paris 1900" so it was perfect!

I love how much happiness and whimsy they have in the headers and the Poster Art especially.
All this happiness... It's at the point cherie-morte worried about me on Twitter. Seriously, it was maybe too much for me: nobody died, no scars, no blood! NOTHING!! Just J2 in love!! I need to draw a death!art like yesterday.

I'm in love with the way you draw teeth,
OMG! THANK YOU!! Teeth are a nightmare, aren't they? You are an artist, you know how difficult they are to draw. They can ruin a face and make the character look super creepy. It's one of the things I don't like drawing and I'm always happy when I manage to draw a beautiful smile!

that smoking picture of Jensen is sinfully hot and yet so beautifully simple.
That's funny because it's everybody's favorite but it's the one I spent the less time on. In the story, Jared drew this picture as sketch so I did the same: quickly, with big brush strokes ^^;;

I'm very happy you enjoyed my BB post so much! ^o^
Thank YOU for loving it ♥
