.art: Every bended knee (Castiel; Dean)

[aesc]

I've been listening to Iron & Wine's The Shepherd's Dog a lot lately, and I really love the album's opening track, "Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car." Sometimes earworms manifest themselves in art... I'm waiting for the day "All the Single Ladies" ends up controlling a piece of McKay/Sheppard. It's inevitable. Originally the piece was going to be completely different, but the typography came out of nowhere. Now there are a couple pieces, one with just the typography and a couple of wallpapers yay! Walls are one of those things where, if you're doing large art, you might as well make a wallpaper while you're at it.







This is the original piece, with just Castiel. The brushwork is actually three different text brushes that correspond to parts of the lyric, "my love is one / made to break / every bended knee." The font is Baskerville Old Face.

And oh hai, wallpaper! There are a few versions, one with Castiel and one with Castiel and Dean.

If you have a monitor with a different resolution, let me know what the dimensions are and I can most likely customize the wallpaper for you. Please don't be afraid to ask; it's really quite easy ♥

(And you should really listen to the song because of how it is awesome; it's here.

No, no, don't say it!

*sigh*

Now I'm picturing McKay and Sheppard in high heels and leotards and it's all your fault.

Aw, thank you so much! And the wallpapers just needed to be done... Already got a big piece going so might as well go all the way :)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! ♥ Not all of it is drawing, some of it was tracing over a screencap from 4.07 (the park scene at the end ♥) because Misha's face is too pretty to mess up :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely words! It's always nice hearing these things make it onto various desktops :) :)

Oh yeah, every time I hear that line, I think of Castiel :D
