THE VERY TOUCH OF YOU CORRUPTS

we can play boyfriend-girlfriend like we used to?

Gaze of the Boy-King

Started watching supernatural. Here’s my first fanart: Sam Winchester, a WIP. Through making this, I realized what sad, puppydog eyes Sam has, although what he’s doing here is not ostensibly sad or puppydog. Can you guess what he’s up to? Follow for the finished piece.

I think it is that melancholic dichotomy, the way Sam’s self-effacing—and at times diminutive-energy, contrasts with a certain threatening quality (that comes with his size, demonic blood, and lifetime spent killing), which makes his character so interesting in its contradictions. He tries so hard to be normal compared to Dean—he seems like the more normal of the two outwardly, but all he’s known is instability and violence, and that shows through the cracks on several occasions. And he’s kind of mournful about it.

Painting him also made me note how much Sam’s face hardened over the years. He still has his baby fat here, whereas in the season I’m on (9) he’s become very cut and angular. I guess in a way, that change can be tracked in his psyche as well as his physical exterior.
