Artwork for ReverseBang 2013 [The Second]

Originally this would be my final presentation for this edition of [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang, and then I could have stated how I saved the best for last. Not to dismiss my other artwork (or collaborators), but because this is my OTP and the main reason why I join this challenge*;) Due to a change in the schedule there will be another artpost the day after tomorrow. But I do hope y'all take time to appreciate this rare pair before attention is yet again drawn towards the fandomfavorites;)

In a Reverse Bang artists make fan-art which is posted anonymously for authors to choose as inspiration for fanfiction. *I admit my main goal for RBB-arting is to lure prompt a fellow JDM-loving fan into writing. There is only a relatively small group of people who understands the chemistry between these guys, so I was immensely pleased to yet again catch an awesome author who's on the same wavelength; [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief wrote a fabulous story to go with this scene I imagined:



(Click for bigger;)

Fic Title: Hungry
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] beelikej
Medium: Photoshop & Paper!
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural/RPS, AU, Romance, Erotica
Pairing(s): Jensen Ackles/Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 19,300
Summary: Jeff has been away on a business trip for three months and Jensen has missed him. A lot. Too bad their reunion takes place at a family dinner, which means meddling family members and not enough privacy to deal with the important things.

It was such a joy to brainstorm with [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief about how we could get these guys all worked up *grins*. I was very pleased to find that our pervy minds went into the same direction and I was inspired to once again venture into sketching some naughty scenes. \o/ So while most of the artwork is G-rated I did make two paperscenes that can be categorized as R/NC17. I put them behind a spoiler-cut, so you can only see them if you click that. You can scroll down safely;)


Banner

A step by step from the final layers: Jeff, Jensen and a bit of fireworks;)

Headers






Dividers
Original size is 500 pixels, resized for space (except the cake;) My prompt's title was the figuratively used 'hungry' for the state of mind of the guys. I was very pleased with [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief's idea of the family-dinner to keep the guys apart a little longer which build up their appetite even more (so much cockblocking, heehee!). To keep with the theme, all the dividers are related to food. I initially made many more, but these are the ones that were chosen:





Buttons
Not activated here, but when properly coded, these work as separate links to the different parts of the story:




Try them while reading Hungry, or maybe check out the rest of the art first? There are innocent icons and an endbanner below!



Beware of NC17 rated papercutart
Another warning so you don't accidently stumble upon my R and NC17 rated paperart. Behind the following [square brackets] are two scenes that are suitable for adult viewing only. Click at your own risk;) Enjoy!


Papercut pieces
After getting these guys naked for the 2013 BigBang, I had hoped to find another author who was willing to go there with me. I was thrilled when [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief not only loved the idea, but also incorporated a couple of my kinks to work with. See if you can figure them out :-p

I picked two scenes to illustrate, so these images are slightly spoilery if you haven't read the story yet. The first scene is R-rated, no nakedness, but a serious making out session with hands in pants and clear arousal...


Pencil sketch and first papercut. For the final version I cut separate bodies and Jeff's rings are on different fingers;)

After creating the papercuts, I made several photographs in different settings. For your enjoyment I also included a couple of pics from behind the scenes of the photoshoot;) Click on the images if you want to take a closer look!


Both shot in front of screen with projected background of bathroom. With no other lightsource this creates a silhouette (left).

Let me show you how that was done:

(No pictures of me lying down on the floor in impossible positions like a professional photographer, trying to capture the paperguys in the right dimensions;)


On top of a print of the bathroom-image (my favorite) and on a dark background with light from the side.

The second scene is NC17-rated, because the guys finally made it home \o/

A glimpse of the process: close up and a complete cut next to the first rough sketch;) Did anyone spot the extra hand on Jeff's shoulder in the right picture? (Before I sketch in pencil I make a very clunky manip in Photoshop to figure out the bodies. I had already made the first complete cut before I noticed I had given Jensen three arms, oops)

This pose was harder to photograph, because of the funky angle I cut them in. But I sure had some fun with them...


:-D


I really like the different shading that happened from playing with the light. (Click on image to zoom in!)


This 3D construction is my favorite shot of the tablescene.

As a final treat an icon for my author:


And this concludes the naked bit of this presentation. *curtsies*

I really love that we now have X rated paper cuts...there is something very wonderful about that! Great work and attention to detail as always.

Oooh... JDM and Jensen!!

JDM and Jensen are undressing!! I love the banner!! And how they arefacing each other!

And your papercuts are amazing!! ( ॣ•͈૦•͈ ॣ)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ how can you cut the detailed pieces so neatly!! Like Dean's hair in the first papercut. And the second papercut is hot!!! I love how you make Jensen significantly smaller than Jeff!

JDM/Jensen with age gap and size kink, bb thank you for the awesome prompt!! Gotta hurry to read the fic!!

Paper sex dolls! Sex paper dolls! Paper sex! We need a new word for what you did. O.O

Thanks for showing us all the behind the scenes pics... very cool.

:)

[identity profile] ashtraythief.livejournal.com 2014-02-10 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Even though I already know half the pics, I am still in utter awe of your talent! What you can do with a pen and a pair of scissors is really amazing! (Seriously, you should have seen me dance behind my computer when you contacted me the first time and I saw what you can do. Or not... might have looked a bit dorky :P)

Your prompt was too awesome not to pick (that banner is scorching and fits them so well) and it was so great that we had the same visions of this fic! *still dancing madly*

Thank you for all the great brainstorming and coming up with ways to make the sexy times work :)

<3

That was so fantastic!!! The art if gorgeous, but your process is so fascinating!! Plus I have to giggle about X-rated paper art!! ) I have the story queued up to read - I love [livejournal.com profile] ashtraythief's work! Kudos, bb, on another amazing RBB!!

Great manip and the papercut porn is awesome!

Here's a grasshopper I made earlier... (not!)

Oh, bb, I LOVE your porny paper dolls! ;D You are truly the Queen of papercutting -- and NC-17 papercutting, at that!

I had given Jensen three arms, oops

Are you sure that was an ARM? >.<

So, erm . . . how long does it take you, from initial sketch to final cutout?

[identity profile] bflyw.livejournal.com 2014-02-10 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I love your papercuts! I am not a Jensen/Jared porn girl - so it's the process and the quality of your work that does it for me, more than the subject ;-)

First off - I am impressed by your sketches! They are really good! Sketching anything is hard (for me) and sketching people in those kind of positions always come out weird if I do it :-)

I love the details in your papercuts! You have built up every figue so well!

And I love the play with light!

Also - putting the background image on the screen and then put the papercut in front of that and take a picture of that just gives such a depth to the pictures!

How did you end up doing paper-cut art? I have never really seen it before you started doing it. I have to try it - at least once! If not for a bigbang, then for something else. I love experimenting with new ways of making art!

*bravo*

that papercut art is amazing - not just because it's them, it's really a neat medium to see.

You are just tremendous with what you do with lighting and a pair of scissors. I'm now referring to you in my head as BeeScissorHands. That funny to me, I now imagined you with some CRAZY Tim Burtonesque hair *G*. Papercutting is such highbrow porn, I LOVE IT

[identity profile] brokenhighways.livejournal.com 2014-02-10 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You always have the best art masterposts! I love how you show the steps, because as someone who's kind of "art-stupid", it makes me appreciate your art more, and all of it is really great. You are very talented. <3

AHHH THESE ARE SO AWESOME. I am forever amazed at your paper skills - the porny silhouettes are beautifully done and totally gorgeous. :)

This is wonderful. You know I have a soft spot for JDM/Jensen, and I'm always delighted to find art/fic for it, so this is awesome. I love your papercuts, and these are once again great. And NC17 to boot (I've never gone further then R rated art, because I'm to chicken. XD *applauds your courage*). Thanks for the look behind the scenes, very awesome. And I feel you on the professional photographer poses. Also, lol at 3-armed Jensen. :')

Anyway, this is a delightful artpost. Brava! *claps wildly*

your papercuts are always fantastic. i especially like the effect of the backdrops, and the second one, the 3d scene with the table, is pretty cool.

[identity profile] tmn1966.livejournal.com 2014-02-11 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I know what it is. It's pairing JDM/Jensen that drives you to new heights because, bb, this is so fantastic! I couldn't wait to read the story but after seeing your arts (and having worked with you previously I know how much of a story you incorporate into your work), so even without the paper cut art, I'm even more intrigued!!

Once again I love your choice of fonts and colors.

And finally, the paper cut art... wow. I can't even imagine how long it took you to do all of it. And thank you for once again showing us your process. You are so amazing!!!!

I hope to read the story this weekend, but I couldn't wait to comment on your awesomely wonderful work! Great job, bb!

Gorgeous artwork, I loved it all :)

You are so talented, I'm in awe as always!!

Okay, the banner is totally hot :) And the endbanner is awwwwww...LOVE ALL THE ART YOU MADE FOR THIS :D

OMG, I love the manips very much, but the papercut porn - it is pure genius! They are so damn hot and pretty!

Sorry this took me forever (but um, yay for my delayed gratification? *stares*) I do really enjoy all the options and positions you tried out with your art, heeeee; but I think the last one (the 3D presentation) is my favorite. It's like those little paper dolls have at it all night long while you're asleep in your room *snickers*. I approve!

(Also really love the one at the sink, though I'd seen it before, the context makes it like 5x more awesome, heeee!)
