💚Destiel Doodles Coloring Book💙

ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

After two months of work, this bundle of 42 printable coloring pages will be released!

This art’s journey will now be up to y’all and the whole world of color is available for you to explore!

Some details:

✨It will initially be sold on Etsy for $16 and will in include all the drawings for you to print out whenever you want.

✨The drawings include: 31 drawings from the 2023 Suptober event (which is 16 official prompts and then 15 others I decided on) + 6 florals + 3 bonus drawings + 2 drawings of the cover - one with the text and one without.

✨These drawings are for personal enjoyment and not to be resold either as lineart or colored in. You also cannot repost as if it’s your own. However if you color these and want to post to social media feel free! Tag me so I can see it!

✨Why I chose this price: I am looking to save up money for a new iPad because my needs have outgrown the small space of the iPad mini and it’s 64gb of storage.

All of these drawings are hand made and not generated by computers and so while it’s a little more than some pages out there, given the time and effort spent along with it all 100% being my own, I chose this price. I wanted to sell on my own personal website but I can’t afford to upgrade my monthly plan to allow that right now.

See y’all on Wednesday!! And happy December!

try walking in my shoes

Hello hello hello! I know it’s been a little while since I had new art to share :) I’ve been busy traveling plus prepping a lot of art (and fic) for the next month or two ahead. This is just the first of three collaborations I have for the @bottomcasbigbang​ this year (two as artist, one as a writer), and I’m delighted to kick them off with Inkblooded_Witch’s story “Little Lost Angel”.

I was really excited to do an interpretation of what Knight of Hell/Demon!Dean would look like with his horns, black eyes and demon wings! Because I used some really strong color-shift and metallic watercolor paints in this piece, it was hard to photograph properly to showcase it all. That’s why I’ve included two different versions of it above, so you can see how both wings are meant to be a shimmery color, along with other effects that are more muted or bright based on the angle of lighting.

The title image was a fun challenge, too. I loved the scene it’s inspired by and knew I had to draw it. There were a lot of different references involved to create the modern cityscape Cas finds himself wandering and I wanted it to be a soft, brightly-colored contrast to Dean’s bolder colors and darker surroundings.

Author: Restlesshush ( @restlesshush​​ ) Artist:  ThePlaidFox ( @theplaidfox​​​ ) Rating: Teen and Up Featured characters: Hannah, two angel OCs and discussions of Naomi Featured relationships:  Hannah & OC angels, One-sided Hannah/Cas, Hannah & Cas  Length: 6,000 words Tags: Character study, angel lobotomies (discussions of), angel politics, angel trueforms, set around s10

Summary:  While trying to bring order to Heaven after the events of s9 and s10, Hannah is shown Naomi’s rooms, where she hopes to learn from the mistakes of the leaders before her and prevent Heaven from falling into further chaos. She is interrupted by a heated discussion amongst her siblings about the ongoing problem of rogue angels and then is offered a different perspective on Naomi: as someone who was also seeking to maintain order in Heaven. She starts to wonder whether Naomi’s approach was really so bad, and how far she would be prepared to go herself.

Excerpt:

“I could… I could use a human analogy.”

This surprises Hannah. She gestures tentatively with three of her hands for him to continue.

“We were tools in a tool shed. All used properly, and put back neatly, but sometimes, faults arise anyway. And they would be fixed. Then the apocalypse didn’t come, and the Leviathan did, and a lot of us were gone, and we started being overused – used for the wrong tasks. The faults became worse and more frequent, and the repair carried out less diligently.” He fixes a good half of his eyes firmly on Hannah. “You understand, of course, that I only mean ‘diligence’ for the sake of the analogy. With her reduced forces, and with so great a need for her skills, Naomi did do her very best.”

Hannah thinks of being driven along twisty forest roads, her vessel’s stomach swirling in the passenger seat. “…yes.”

“Well, the situation – quite simply – was bad. And now all of the tools have been tossed out of the tool shed entirely, on to the ground – have become used to the grass, and the air… Have sustained damage in a way they never had done before, and have become accustomed to it. There’s only so much repair work that can be done.”
