Snowflake Challenge - Day 9

[dizzojay]

Day 9 - In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator


I'm only active in the Supernatural fandom, and there are three types of fanworks that I produce; fanfiction, digital art and traditional art, so I'm going to showcase one of each for this posting.

Fanfiction:

One character in our show that I absolutely love writing is Baby.  Yes, you read that correctly; one of my favourite characters to write is a car!     I have a completely unshakeable image of her personality - basically, I see her as a sassy, sophisticated lady of a certain age.  A total cougar (especially for Dean), but with a very strong maternal instinct toward her boys too.

Some time ago, I realised that I'd written a lot of short fics (mainly one-shots and drabbles) focussing on our lovely Lady, and so I decided to gather them all together  in a collection which you can find on AO3 entitled 'The Iron Lady'

Digital Art:

I've done masses of digital art; banners, cards, and challenges, but one I did very recently was one that I'm really proud of.  It was for my 2017 Reversebang challenge for a wonderful story called 'Favourite Subject' by jillmariej .  In it,  Castiel is delightfully obsessed with drawing and painting Dean, and  latterly brings his art into the 21st century, by acquiring a tablet. 

This is my picture of Cas' work, uploaded to a fictional art social media site.  The link to the story is under the picture!

Traditional Art:

One thing I am grateful to the Supernatural fandom for is inspiring me to spread my art horizons, and take up drawing people again.  It was something I hadn't done for years, having largely given up after leaving school because I just didn't enjoy it, and I didn't think I was very good at it.

But now, I can't seemto get enough of doing it!  Over the last four orfive years, I've drawn over forty Supernatural character portraits.  These are all on my Deviant art page, but these are a couple of my favourites:

Steve
Bobby

Ooh, that 'social media site' is so cool! Love all the details.

Also, I have bookmarked your fic, because I ADORE the idea of fic with Baby as the main character. Genius!

Lovely artwork! And I'm absolutely bookmarking the Impala fic.

[dizzojay]

Thank you :)

[dizzojay]

Thank you!
I hope you enjoy the Impala fics!

[dizzojay]

Thank you - I hope you enjoy them!

I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who can actually draw. It's one of the few art forms where I have absolutely NO talent whatsoever. I've often joked that I'm so gay I can't even draw a line straight! ;) But again, I have absolute respect for all artists who can draw by hand!

I have also often enjoyed your Baby drabbles and will one day have to find the time to read all your Iron Lady snippets! :)

I LOVE Steve!! It's my fave out of all the pix I've been treated to in your journal! I've also enjoyed your ficcage over at Big Pretzel! I'm looking forward to seeing & reading more of your work! :D

Wow... just amazing what you are doing.
You paintings - you know how much I love them - are gorgeous. Bobby! OMG - these eyes and Steve!!!
And your BABY DRABBLES ROCK!!!

Well thank you, I'm really glad you like my stuff - and I'm sure you're far better at these things than you think you are!

'so gay I can't even draw a line straight!' *snort* - love it!!! :D

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed my stuff. I always appreciate your comments and support!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thank you - so glad you like them :)

I love how you write Baby's character, and I'm bookmarking The Iron Lady drabbles! I've also marked "Favourite Subject" to read later, it sounds like a great idea for a fic and your artwork for it is wonderful, I adore Dean's green eyes. You know I love your traditional artwork, as I have several pieces on my bedroom wall! I didn't realise you'd done so many SPN characters, very impressive!

You're welcome! *is glad you're glad* :D Awe... <3

I love your art and your writing, you are amazingly talented and the Iron Lady series is such fun.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I hope you enjoy all the drabble, she's so much fun to write. Because she doesn't have 'a personality' per se, she's like a blank canvas!

I didn't realise I'd done so many until I posted them on Etsy, and yes, there's 42. The meaning of life!

Thank you!!

Trust me, honey, when it comes to drawing art, that's definitely not me! LOL
