beelikej: (Shoes Of Confidence)
[personal profile] beelikej
Yesterday I read a wonderful fanfic, adored cool fan-art and I dyed my grey shoes green. I also folded up laundry, brought my empty glass jars and bottles to the recycle bin, got groceries at the bio-supermarket, bought film-tickets for Wednesday (so I'll have time to eat a mom's beforehand) and looked for inspiration for my current art-challenge. A very satisfying day.

I'll link to the story on my next reclist (it's not quite suitable for a general post;) but the art is completely worksafe and -more importantly- lots of fun to look at, so go check it out:
Title: Everybody gets twitterpated in the spring time
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] dulcetine
Disney* Prompt: Bambi (*theme for [livejournal.com profile] j2_everafter)
Rating: PG
Warnings: lots of images of naked torsos, fantasy furry bottoms, face licking, and floofy wagging tails
Summary: Jared, prince of the forest, is reacquainted with childhood friend jensen who decides to reintroduce himself in a more intimate manner. As expected Jared gets twitterpated by Jensen :D
Medium: marker drawings on photo background
BEELIKEJ: Heehee, this is so funny and cool! I love Jensen's big eyes and freckles, Jared's hair and sixpack, both their fantastic bodies and oh, the ears! My favorite is the one where Jensen is frantically wagging his tail. Wonderful idea and excellent execution, the drawings really pop in those photo backgrounds. I'm gonna (sc)roll around in these for a bit. *hearteyes like Jared*

I made photos of my dying experiment:

The before picture; I hardly ever wore these shoes. Mainly because I find them too light looking for under jeans. In my mind they are almost white, but apparently not so much;) Still, when I accidently found applegreen shoe dye, I just knew I had to try that.


I must admit it was a little scary to start. I kept wondering whether I should have started with just a part of the shoe, but I forgot to actually stick between the different parts and had already brushed over the lines before I remembered I maybe wanted to not dye the whole shoe. Oh, self.


It also looked like it wasn't gonna work at all: I worried about how much the brushstrokes stood out. Eeep.


One layer on and hey, it doesn't look half bad after all. The first shoe already dried enough to stop the worry about the strokes.


Up close you can see the need for another layer though; see the difference in colour between the dry and wet paint (on the nose)


Oh my goodness: look how awesome they turned out! I am so pleased!

Pretty cool, right?

Frolicking Jensen and Jared made me very happy :-)

Aren't they fabulous:) The snowy weather prevents me from showing them off in real life, but as soon as it's no longer slippery or wet outside, I'm putting them on!
