Summary: Desperate to break Sam out of the Cage, Dean abandons every smidge of common sense, following the wrong advice. New Orleans hides worse things than vampires, and they all seem to be waiting for Dean to come along.
I would like to clarify that I am not an artist. However, I was dying to try something for the first SPN Eldritch ReverseBang, so I said to myself, 'ok, I can't draw even if it costs me my life, but maybe I can manage some photomanip'. The truth is that I had been wanting to do something voodoo-ish for a while with this gorgeous picture of Jensen, because his stare in this one is something else.
I used the free version of Ibis Paint to put together a collage and then painted on it, making Dean look like a voodoo practitioner.
I named my prompt Vodouisant, and was fortunate enough for AgentPatheticHasBeenRockstar (Walkingaline) to claim my prompt. They wrote an amazing story that inspired me to make more art because I'm a reckless fool who doesn't know her limits, and their story is incredibly good.
Walkingaline's story takes place in New Orleans -- which made me squee in delight -- and I couldn't resist looking for a photograph of one picturesque and haunted cemetery in the city. I found this beautiful photograph of the Saint Louis Cemetery in Goggle. All that was left to do was to touch it up a bit and place Dean on it.
Finally, this is the banner for the story. A bit gorey, and bit creepy, because that is to be expected from a story that takes place in a haunted cemetery.
And that's all. I hope you enjoyed my first attempt to art something 😅 Please, go read Walkingaline's story because it is awesome, and give a go at the rest of the SPN Eldritch Reverse Bang 2025 collection if you like scary tales.
Thank you for watching this ❤️
