Very cool style, like a comicbook! All the dripping water and the dripping blood create an eary sense of movement. Such an angsty scene with Sam struggling hard, but Dean's determined stance gives me hope. <3

This is gorgeous. I think my favorite bits might be Sam's hair and the bloodied V of his t-shirt (and the glimpse of his tummy there, yum), but the whole thing is fantastic. Great work.

Eeeek! Keep chopping, Dean you've still got some heads to go! I love the composition of this, Sam in the Hydra's coils and Dean with his bloody sword.

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooo I love it. This is the type of pic that hte more you look at it, the more you see. Like the little glimpse of Sam's stomach, or the two baby hydra heads growing towards the bottom there. And look at their FAAAAAAAAACES!!!!! And ARM FRECKLES and SAM'S HAIR. Love, love, love it. THIS ARTIST NEEDS TO SIGN UP FOR EVERY CHALLENGE.

Ah so cool! Their faces are classic, Sam looks like he can't believe Dean is taking so long! Great details with their various wounds and ripped jeans and lots of action! Love it.

I cannot tell you how much joy I have had secretly looking at this all week ;) I can't decide if I'm more overjoyed by Sam's face or Dean's, I love love the trees, and SAM'S NOSE, and Dean's freckles!!! LOVE the frozen-action feel to the moment and the waterlilies give the piece such a joyful serene/ridiculous-how-did-this-happen-again sort of feel *g* ALSO, THE BABY HEADS. I JUST NOTICED THEM NOW AND I'M SO HAPPY. Echoing what was said above, please sign up for everything!!!

This must have required a lot of work! There's a lot of detail :D
The boys are great but I particularly love the hydra because it looks terrifying! ^^;;

OH, god this is awesome. Freckles! BAMF DEAN!

[saltandburnboys.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely great. I love how vivid it is; there's something going on everywhere! :-D. I love their expressions too, and Sam's wonderful hair...and, wow, that snake demon is utterly terrifying. *Shudders*. Oh, and I love Dean's sword too...you put a Devil's Trap on it!! :-D. (I think you did anyway, lol!)

Great job; thanks for sharing. :-)

1. Wet!Winchesters
2. Bloody!Winchesters
3. Scary monster; those eyes are so predatory it gives me chills.
4. Dean with a sword.
5. I can see that sexy patch of stomach there, Sammy.
6. THEIR HAIRS. ARE YOU SERIOUS? It's so fluffy i'm going to die, but not before combing my fingers through that!
7. Freckles, so many freckles. Sweetjesus, I'm in heaven.
8. Protective!Dean.
9. The details, the amount of time this must have taken you. But holy shit, I hope you know it was worth it.
10. The gorgeous coloring.

Sweet artist, thank you so much for this gift *u*

I fucking love you.

Oooh, that hydra is just delightful! Right down to the severed stump. Love all the little details, like Sam's swoop of hair and Dean's sword and the little hydra nubbins growing back. So much work, great job!

[stripytights.livejournal.com]

This is awesome - all the details, the rips in Dean's jeans, the little hydra heads, the sheer sense of movement to the picture. Particularly enjoy Dean's resolute expression though - I sense serpent sushi for dinner that night.

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Wow!! This is amazing!! The boys are gorgeous and the monster is TERRIFYING and the level of detail is incredible. So much to look at and love!

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is awesome! I love the composition of the pic and how much detail you put into the hydra, especially her regrowing heads! And the shadows and the waterlilies and just the whole fucking thing!

Ans Sam's more angry or indignant, wanting Dean to just get on with it :D Or maybe not be so stupid and keep cutting off the heads :D And Dean with a sword, yummy, coming to Sam's rescue, double yummy.

Such a cool picture!!!

[troll-la-la.livejournal.com]

What a great scary monster, and I love how Sam looks more annoyed than afraid. Winchesters, gotta love them (especially when wet.)

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

This is great! Love the bold, strong colors and all the little details. Great work!

[glovered.livejournal.com]

I absolutely adore this. Poor Sam - clothes ripped off by a Hydra, and Dean trying to keep his head in the game when faced with his brother's happy trail/coy bangs, despite his erect sword. Also, the mist and the swampiness are lovely.

[soulmatecest.livejournal.com]

This is amazing!! I love your art style, wow. The snake opening its mouth looks so SO great, it seems real (and the eyes!! love me those killer eyes). Also give me your background-drawing powers because that looks wonderful. The palette color you used is really nice and the way you use shadows makes this fanart even better. I really like the boy's expressions.

What a great fanart, love it!!

PS: the detail of drops of the water falling from the snakes and the boys gave my inner graphic designer an art boner, you managed it perfectly!

[somersault-j.livejournal.com]

This is freaking awesome. ALL THE DETAILS! From wet!boys over the fog to the hydra and the shadows of the trees. The eyes of the hydra, Sam's little shimmer of belly and Dean's expression!! Love it :)

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

oh wow, fantastic work! Love the idea and all the details and poor Sam!!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Such a cool, clean style! I especially love the snakes, and Sam's peril-face :)

[ivory-angel99.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't love Dean wielding a sword, especially to save his baby brother? I really love the colors in this and the details, the holes in Dean's and Sam's jeans and the blood dripping from Dean's sword specifically, but also the reflection of the trees in the water, the lily pads and the hydra's fangs seeming to glisten. The hydra itself is amazing. I would so love to see this in story form.

[sophiap.livejournal.com]

I love all the detail in this, and the expressions on the boys' faces! I can't help but think that Sam is yelling something along the lines of "stop cutting off the #(%&$# heads!!!"

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

So cool, and badass!

I love all the details, like the dripping water off Dean, the bloody cuts through the denim, Sam's hair and Dean's 'no one messes with my brother' face. And that hyra is freaky, the teeth, the glowing eyes, and those baby heads *shivers* Kill it Dean, and kill it good!!!

Awesome art, it tells a great story! :)

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, I love everything about this! Between the composition and the complete narrative that can be read in all the details, it's like a perfect neoclassical painting done in a fun comic style.

With cute boys ;)

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I love all the details, and the coloring.
