Title: Can A Girl Ever Have Too Many Cowboys?
Artist: beelikej
Pairing: Danneel/Jeff/Jensen/Jared
Rating: PG-13
Medium: Photoshop
Warnings/Enticements: Polyamory!
Made for spn_meanttobe Prompt:33. The Trouble With Texas Cowboys
No sooner does pint-sized spitfire Jill Cleary set foot on Fiddle Creek Ranch than she finds herself in the middle of a hundred-year-old feud. Quaid Brennan and Tyrell Gallagher are both tall, handsome, and rich...and both are courting Jill to within an inch of her life. She's doing her best to give these feuding ranchers equal time-too bad it's dark-eyed Sawyer O'Donnell who makes her blood boil and her hormones hum.

A/N: Last time I played in spn_meanttobe, I went all meta and interpreted the prompt rather broadly, this time I stayed very close to the original text. I really only changed the names. I just couldn't help picturing Danneel Harris in the lead; she would be able to handle cowboys fighting over her, right?



Concept/summary: When redhaired spitfire Danneel Harris sets foot on Austin Creek Ranch, she finds herself in the middle of a hundred-year-old feud. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are both tall, handsome, and rich... and both are courting Danneel to within an inch of her life. She's doing her best to give these feuding ranchers equal time. But seemingly uninterested Jeffrey Dean Morgan also makes her hormones hum...

I also made three alternative covers:

Inspired by wtfbadromancecovers I intended to do bad photoshopping, but as usual I ended up fiddling a bit too much; I just couldn't stop touching the guys;) I hope it's still a little cringeworthy:)

LOL!!! I adore this!! J3 and Danneel, absolute perfection! That girl is gorgeous in every damn picture..so jealous. And Cowboy J's, mmm, yes please! :D This fit the prompt brilliantly. And those manips are flippin' awesome. That last bonus manip - lol!!! And the answer is obviously no - a girl can't have too many Cowboys!! Yeah, I'm gonna stare at this some more for sure :) xx

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

*grins* I found so many awesome photos of Danneel, that's why I ended up with more than one cover:) Of course the guys already have shown their inner cowboy in real life, but I just had play with them a little bit too;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Bwhahahah these are hilarious! The butt one made me giggle so hard... Love the premise too, as if Danneel could resist having these three lusting after her!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-D I couldn't stop giggling while making these. Of course I had to undress the boys, after all, they only need a hat to make them look like cowboys, heheheheh.

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING HAHAH

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-) Thank you. It was such fun to put these four together. Oooh, I love that Danneel face in your icon <3

[fireheart13.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha OMG I love this!!! They are all gorgeous covers - I love the cover idea to begin with, but so cute and sexy!!! Danneel is perfect, and all that YUM!!!!! Kudos indeed!!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-D Thank youuuu. Danneel was indeed perfect in all the photos I found of her and they were all very fitting for romance covers (all I did was add a couple of cowboy-hats;)

[amypond45.livejournal.com]

What fun! Love this!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you:)

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Hee, these are adorable!!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

<3 Thanks:)

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

These are all fabulous! I love the premise and I love all of the pictures. And the answer to the question is most definitely no...a girl can never have too many cowboys, especially these cowboys...

And boy do I want to read a story based on this art now! :D

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-) Thank you. The guys are the coolest cowboys, of course Danneel wants to have all three of them;)

(Saaaaaaaaaame)

[all-the-damned.livejournal.com]

Omg this is glorious! I love Danneel in the lead! Get it girl! There's been so many vaguely "country" pictures of J3 out there and I'm glad you found some good fodder for these covers because they made me grin like a loon.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-D Thank you! Danneel inspired all this and it wasn't hard to imagine the guys as cowboys; there are indeed plenty of suitable pics out there. I couldn't help tweeking them a little though *grins*

[somersault-j.livejournal.com]

BWahahahaha, the naked butts in the third cover lolol Mhhhhh, I don't even know but I think I like the second cover best. BUT REALLY! EVERYTHING IS GORGEOUS!

Now I have ONE question. WILL THIS END IN A HOT FOURSOME?? lol

I really love all of this :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-D Thank youuuu. OF COURSE THIS WILL END IN A HOT FOURSOME, YEEHAW \o/\o/

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

You've filled the prompt perfectly! I love the images, so fun and colourful. Thank you for sharing :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your sweet comment:)

[jimbobjoe.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, this is delicious! The silly manip of them in front of the truck is my favorite, but they are all GREAT!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thank you:)

[sillie]

Hahaha, omg, his is awesome! <3<3 I love all the covers you did, and that last picture had me almost snort tea out of my nose. XD

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you. Mission accomplished, heheheheh.

Um. Butts? Bare chests? Yes. That's what I'm here for.

Love the prompt...my mind definitely goes places, places so helpfully colored by your art. Yum.

Thanks for sharing!

^that's me. *facepalm*. Didn't notice I wasn't signed in, I was actually wondering why I need to complete a captcha rabbit puzzle to post a comment.

Morning brain.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't blame your brain for being too distracted to log in, a triple dose of J with a topping of D will do that, heehee. Thank you!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee, how did I miss this?! OMG, these are FUN! I love that you made actual COVERS; for some reason, I never thought of that. DERRRR.

But you did a fantabulous job, lady! <3!!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

*grins* I just found so many pictures of Danneel that just screamed girly romance cover, I had to play with that:)

Thank you <3

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

Now I finally have a chance to look at other things you did!
I love Danneel with three cowboys, she would so be able to handle them. And damn, all three of them can wear a hat. So lovely and so much fun!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-) Thank you! (I hope to catch up after my BB) Danneel is so cool and yes, the guys do know how to wear a hat *grins*

[masja-17.livejournal.com]

Loved these!

The final one made me cackle!

♡

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you!

(Hehehehe, yeah, that one never fails to make me giggle too;)

[tmn1966.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! Your art just makes me smile for ages. I love it! I love that you used Danneel and the guys are of course so yummylicious! And yes please, I'll take all the covers!!! And the bonus manip, bwahaha, your sense of humor is always the best!

♥

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Yay! This one was definitely all about having fun and making other people grin at my silly covers. I had so many ideas thanks to an overload of awesome Danneel photos. So, ehm, if anyone were to include her in a story, I'm prepared;)
