ARTWORK for SPN_Cinema 2017
Nov. 24th, 2017 09:20 pmWhen I pick a film for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_cinema I don't usually know beforehand what I'm going to do with it. I just like to choose a story I love to rewatch while imagining my favorite guys in the lead *grins*. This time I went with a mermaid theme for Jensen and Jeff:) The Cinema challenge was in between lots of other projects and even though I considered playing with clay or papier-mâché to create a merman's tail, I simply wouldn't have been able to do the idea justice. Fortunately I came across an inspirational artwork that reminded me of a visual I had wanted to try for a long time: a stained glass effect! So here's what I ended up creating:
Title: You Said Whatever My Secret Was, You'd Understand
Medium: Papercutting and paint
Movie Prompt: Splash (1984)
Pairing: Jeff/Merman!Jensen
Rating: G!
Concept: As a young boy Jeff is rescued from drowning off Cape Cod by a young merboy. Jeff isn’t sure what he has seen and what he has imagined.
Years later, using maps from a sunken ship, the still very young merman (Jensen! FYI: mermen age much slower than humans;) decides to search for Jeff in New York City, sprouting legs when his tail dries. When he finds Jeff, they fall in love, but Jensen's secret will no longer be a secret when he gets his legs wet...
( The Making Of )
( Credits and Bonus artwork aesthetic )
Comments are appreciated!
