ART: Garbage (Jared/Jensen, SFW)

Title: Garbage
Author:

tebtosca
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: Fic NC-17, Art SFW

Summary: Jared is a shy, reclusive fourteen year old omega who lives day to day, surviving the best he can. With the encouragement of his school librarian, he reads extra books for fun, preferring to live within the stories he reads instead of his actual living situation. His current book is Mary Renault’s WWII, gay classic, The Charioteer. He is captivated by the relationship between the three central characters—Laurie, Andrew, and Ralph—and the novel becomes integral to getting through another day. A few weeks before the annual dance, Alpha Detective Jensen Ackles from the Department of Omega Care, visits the high school and notices Jared by the way he holds his backpack. This seemingly casual observation launches an investigation that irrevocably changes everyone involved—for better and worse.

Notes: My first ever ART post for

spn_j2_bigbang based on the absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking fic by Compo67. I'm thrilled that I've been able to work with not only someone so talented (and one of my favorite authors over on AO3!), but also someone utterly kind and patient with this art newbie. Everyone needs to go over and READ THE STORY NOW!

Special thanks to

fiercelynormal for holding my hand through this entire process. And thank you to

wendy for all her modly goodness!

I wanted to do something to represent the first time Jared and Jensen meet. At this point in the story especially, Jared's self-worth is at an all-time low, and he very much wants to disappear into himself. Jensen is first seen as a very imposing figure, particularly because of his Alpha status.

The novel "The Charioteer" is a big influence in the fic and on Jared. I wanted to represent that in some way in the art, so the font used throughout and some of the classical imagery are inspired by various aspects of the novel.

One of the bits of imagery that struck me was of Jared lying back and watching the clouds, searching for answers in a really terrible world. I thought of him using those moments to drift outside of himself in the tougher moments, so I was pleased when the image was later incorporated into the scene in the hospital.

Finally, I knew I had to do something for one of the happiest moments in the fic, and a scene of both levity and emotion.

That looks fabulous and not at all like it would be a first-time art post! Congratulations, I will totally check out the story when I have the time.

So glad you think so, thank you! Definitely check out the fic <3

Congrats on your first art post!! :D And what a beauty it is!

Thank you, my love! I was so scared to post haha

<33

Yay! Congrats on posting your first art fill, and for producing such a lovely emotional set. I really love the main banner with the Jared inverted shadow image, really effective.

Thank you so much!! I was nervous, so I'm glad that it turned out okay <33

YAY! Congrats on popping your art cherry! You did a fantastic job on your merging and blending, typography, and I absolutely love the softness of your palette!

Thank you, my dearest! That means a lot coming from someone like you <33

Exceptional art and your fist time participating as an artist as well, well done.
Love each piece and I have a feeling that the story is going to make me cry before I get to the something happy.
The clouds in the one for when Jared is watching the clouds is so amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
*hugs*

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! The fic is so wonderful, that I'm thrilled to have worked on it <3

Confetti, it's a parade!! <333

These are lovely. Great job woman!

Thanks, bb! <3

Beautiful, my lovely ♥ soo soft and lovely, LOVE the images you chose. you absolutely blow me away. The fic gutted me and my tummy aches, gotta admit I just had to skim some of the words as they were just too heartbreaking. wow. brilliant words ♥

Thanks so much, my love! The fic is SO emotional, but so worth it in the end <33

I really love what you've done here!

I'm so glad, thank you! <3

Congrats on this, bb! I really love the mood you've set (or perhaps, the mood you've reflected -- I will def. have to go read this story). The typeface is perfect, and I love how small you've made Jared appear in the first couple of images, like he's folding in on himself. Even his jawline is retiring. I can already feel Jensen's nurturing spirit... I hope that's a reflection of what happens in the story. <3

Thanks so much, bb! I was so nervous about posting, so glad that you enjoyed them <3

Gorgeous art!

Thanks, nonnie! <3
