OMG, the hashmarks (hell years?), the scars, Sam's "do not resuscitate" and Dean's angel wings are all killing me softly. This is hot, but it's more heartbreaking than anything to me.

Absolutely no mistaking who did this one. :D Lovely work as always, mystery!artist! Love Sam's blissful expression, Sam's mouth, their body language, and even the back of Dean's head is perfect! But most of all, I love the coloring, from the deep blue near the bottom, to the starburst corona of light around Sam's head. Downright gorgeous. And their tats, wow, so beautifully executed.

. . . and the DNR order on Sam's chest, wow. Brava!

holy fucking perfect.

sam's dean knuckle tattoos, sam's expression, dean's ass. everything, just everything. ♥ and the DNR on sam's chest, so so gorgeous.

The scars through the tats, the "hopeless" on Sam's hand and the different wings on the guys' arms and back…..but it's the "do not resuscitate" with the flatline that is the ultimate squeeze on my heart.

Oh mystery artist, I think we will all guess who you are! Fabulous work, just beautiful. All the symbolism and significance packed into the tattoos, together with the beautiful colouring, the lighting, the tender positions and expressions - guh! You are killing us with this one!

I've just had a closer look and - scars breaking the tattoos! Sam's anti-possession tat is broken...I want to see this larger so I can soak in all the details...

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

obviously we are all familiar with your work, lol. This is so beautiful, love Sam's gun, and are those leathery bat wings peeking on his arms, omg, can we have a part two where they roll over :P Dean's hit list on his side, priceless!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Hot and hearbreaking. Their names etched on each other's skin. Do not resuscitate and hopeless and a cage on Sam. The angel wings and the hash marks marking decades across Dean's. Still, the look on Sam's face isn't one of hopelessness and hopefully Dean's expression would match it. Gorgeous.

Hold on, let me put aside this paper bag I've been breathing into.....

I clicked on my messages before checking my flist today, since there were so many new ones, and ALL of them were said things like- OMG HAVE YOU SEEEEEEN YOUR GIFT ON SPRINGFLING????!!!! By the time I clicked over to my friends page, my hands were shaking. When I saw the TITLE of this, I made a really embarrassing squeaking noise, and now my dog is worried.

It's taking me forever to write this comment, because doing so means I have to scroll away from the Beautiful. Also, I keep googling tattoo meanings.

Where can I even begin??? The look on Sam's face, the demon wings on his arms curling around Dean, the bruises on them, the DNR (omg... the DNR, my HEART IS TRASHED), Sam's treasure trail, and his perfect, perfect navel, Deans FRECKLES ON HIS BACK, the scars through the tats, their perfect, perfect hair that makes you want to reach in and touch it with your fingertips, their matching Mary tribute tattooes. Everything. People, do you realize that the sparrow tattoo (on Dean) symbolizes loyalty and undying love to a single person????

Thank you so much! This is amazing.

<3 <3 <3 <3

The way you've done the light on the hands and the face is insane...and just catching the side of Dean's face! *sighs* Just beautiful...as always ♥ : ) x

[denig37]

That is just...wow...I mean...wow *stares*

[soserendipity.livejournal.com]

I think we pretty much all guessed who made this; and wow, what a picture it is!

I stared at it for a good long while, but I cannot decide which parts I like most. So I'll just list it off. I love their body language and Sam's expression in this. How they're tender but at the same time not. And the bruising! Really gripping, all of that. The color scheme is wonderful, too, so fitting and giving this such an intimate feel. And of course, the ink. Angel wings on Dean and demon wings on Sam, the hitlist underneath what I guess is Enochian, the devil's trap at Dean's neck, their carved initials on the back of his hand, just. Guh. Also, the scarred anti-possesion tattoo that Sam then had to replace on his other hand, I guess. And Dean has it at the same place, so maybe he got a second one just so they'd still match. *sob*

Speaking of mirrorring each other, do I see a second colt on Dean's forearm? And are the flowers on Sam's hip a match for Dean's bottle of poison? And the Mary Winchester tributes, oh god.

I don't even want to know what they're counting. Decades/centuries in hell, people they lost, days they were truly happy - all of it devastating when I think about it. And of course, the DNR with the flatline surrounding the caged bird. And the "hopeless" looks as if it could have been done at different times. Like, first there was hope and then not. *sound of my heart breaking*

This is so... I don't even. ♥.

Oh, and the Enochian thing (is it Enochian?), it looks like it's on the other side of him as well, just the other way around. Do you know what it says or did you pick it because it's pretty? Also, I wonder what they have right over their hearts. I think you should make this a 'verse! I could stare at it for hours.

[stripytights.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely stunning. The detailing is superb, the mood is just right in every way, and the more I look at the tattoos, the more I see and all of them are absolutely note perfect. I especially love the almost halo-ish light around Sam and the DNR on his chest. You've evoked the most gorgeous scene and done it full justice.

[darkforetold.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is really, really gorgeous. There's so many details. I could literally spend hours looking at them, trying to find every single one. Stunning. I really like the DNR on Sam. That's such a nice touch and I don't even know why. It's just... so final and sort of portrays his end-it-all attitude sometimes. Love, love. Dean's wings, his hash marks--it's all just really beautiful.

Really stunning, beautiful work. Bravo.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

What everyone else said - this is beautiful, I could look at it for hours, and still find more things to enjoy and amaze. The matching MW scrolls alone... Does Sam have devil wings to Dean's angel ones? It's hinted so perfectly.

So, yes, wow. And wow again.

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, I could look at it forever!

YOU (and yes, we know who you are :P) ARE A FUCKING GODDESS! <333

[jacey26.livejournal.com]

I've never commented on art, but this is amazing!

[boysinperil.livejournal.com]

Ugh, the SW from the Impala on Dean's wrist. Angel wings and demon wings. Bruises (the *bruises!*). The DNR. This is just mindblowing, dear Mystery!Artist.

[paper-storm88.livejournal.com]

This is ... there aren't words. There really aren't. It's beautifully done, in terms of the actual art. But the thought that went into the tattoos. Dean's angel wings, Sam's devil wings. The cage. The broken anti-possession charm. The colt. The matching "RIP M.W." ones on their necks. Mother Mary on Dean's back. Do Not Resuscitate on Sam's chest. "DEAN" on Sam's fingers. Dean's poison. The Hell hashmarks on both of them. I'm sure I could pour over every inch of this for an hour and still not find every little detail that you put into it. I have never seen a piece of fanart with this level of creativity, thought, and attention to detail. Absolutely stunning.

[all-the-damned.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous

[lylithj2.livejournal.com]

Oh wow!!!! Amazing work!!!

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

This is so beautiful and so painful.

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

Ffffffffffffffffffuck that's gorgeous

[samanddeanfan1.livejournal.com]

Great art. So many details and what stories their combined bodies tell. (And not just in English)

Oh, so many things they could be counting. I love the crossed off demon's names. Some of those look like really hard places to get tats, (ok I'm a wimp).

Holy--! This is epic.
