ARTWORK for SPN_Cinema 2016

For every art-challenge I participate in, I set myself a new goal. After doing a lot of papercutting and a bit of watercolour painting for previous projects, I wanted to get back to digital design. So for this edition of spn_cinema I played in Photoshop again. \o/

I tried some new techniques and the visuals came pretty close to what I had in mind, even if I strayed from my original plan of manipulating scenes. I also included more text than I initially planned because I’m just so fond of the film's script; a couple of conversations hit me right in the feels and I simply had to add those words to emphasize (or possibly clarify) the images.


LA, 1968. Jeff is a college professor who recently lost his partner, Jensen, in a car accident. As he goes about his daily routine, his encounters with an old friend (Danneel) and a young student (Jared) lead him to reconsider whether life is worth living without Jensen.

Title: Just Get Through The Goddamn Day
Artist: beelikej
Movie Prompt: A Single Man
Pairing: Jeff/Jensen (past), Jeff/Danneel (past), Jeff/Jared (potential)
Rating: PG
Media: Digital Graphic Design (Photoshop)
Notes: The film is set in the early sixties but I ended up with a look that's closer to the end of that era because I felt Jeff’s appearance fit that time better *grins*. There’s an even greater age difference in the film, I adjusted the ages to suit my fandom favorites, but Danneel is closer to Jeff's age here.

( For the first time in my life I can't see my future. Every day goes by in a haze, but today I have decided will be different. )

I didn't add a making off, but I can do one if anyone is interested in Photoshop masks and filters.
Comments are always welcome, whether it’s concrit or simply a smile :)
