My ramblings: DEI HAS WRITTEN STRIPTEASING JENSEN. :DDD I don't think I need to say more, but I will anyway.

Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times to SWEET WONDERFUL FABULOUS DEI for a.) writing this hot hot hot fic and letting me tag along for the ride, b.) having the patience of a saint and putting up with me and my craziness, and c.) did I mention putting up with my craziness? <33333333333333333333333 ALSO FIC. The fic cannot be mentioned enough. If you haven't read it already, you're probably pretty certifiable yourself. DO IT.

So, so pretty! And I like this style a lot, it's different from your usual but still recognisably you. That's a lovely font you've used for the title too!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you, bb! So happy you like it! <3

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love how realistic the boys look. So sexy and expressive. Great job.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had a lot of sexy, sexy fic to work with, and to try to do some kinda justice to, so I'm super pleased to you dig it! :D

[chellexxx.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. I love the shading on their bodies in every picture

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Very happy to know you like it!

[fireheart13.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous art, love it!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[viviansface.livejournal.com]

oh man, the banner is a thing of beauty and the rest is just as gorgeous. and i can't stop staring at Jensen's butt. hmm.

really though, these are all so beautiful. and hot! ♥

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Haha, I don't think you're gonna find any arguments 'round here re: Jensen's butt. Thank you!

[felisblanco.livejournal.com]

Damn!

This is amazing art and goes so perfectly with the fic. I swear I had that same dazed, slack-jawed look on my face as Jared while I was reading the fic. And the heated look in Jensen's eyes when glancing over his shoulder? Guh! I'm not even gonna try and talk about the last one, just know I'm feeling hot all over.

Seriously, this is so good. Yum!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

*beams* That you think the art is fit to accompany Dei's unfairly hot fic is just SO MUCH YAY. Thank you!

[deanshot1]

Gorgeous art, your attention to detail is amazing.
I adore the one of Jensen half turned looking over his shoulder, you capture his eyes so well.
Thanks for sharing.
*hugs*

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you! :D I was madly obsessing over details right up until the last minute so I'm super SUPER pleased to know you like it! \o/

[one-2-3-4.livejournal.com]

This art is gorgeous and quite delicious! ;-) Fabulous compliment to the (ridiculously hot) fic! Thank you so much for sharing. :-D

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? Fic is insanely freakin' hot and I'm so pleeeased to know you think the art lives up to that, even a little. :D Thank you so much for coming to check it out!

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining the challenge!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

YAY, I'm so thrilled you like it! Thanks for having me, and for playing matchmaker, from what I understand. :DDD I had the most fun working with Dei and would've hated to have missed out b/c I'm too much of a scaredy cat to approach people. XP THANK YOU THANK YOU. ♥

*throws self on floor* *throws self on bed* *drapes self over computer chair arm*

What do I love most about this art? Huuuurrrrrm? Is it Jared, sitting with his laptop and that "I don't know what is going on but my dick is into it???" face that so perfectly captures the story (yes, it is). LOOK HOW ENRAPTURED HE IS. ME TOO, JARED. ME TOO.

Or is my favorite thing about this art Jensen, with that smoldering look and his little nipple and THE WAY THE PANTS ARE RIDING DOWN AND SHOWING HIS UNDERWEAR, HAVE MERCY. Do you realize you gave him neck and back freckles??? *grabs you and shakes you* WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD COPE WITH?

AND THEN THAt LAST PIECE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE HAND PLACEMENT GODS FOR THE INTIMACY OF THIS EMBRACE AND THE WAY JARED'S FINGERS ARE CLUTCHING JENSEN'S SHOULDER AND HIS SIDE. THAT LITTLE DIP AND THE CUT OF MUSCLE ON JARED. *dumps ice on all of us* And again with the underwear. And Jared's face he is so fucking into this that he might as well be me.

YOU DID A GOOD THING HERE AND YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

I'M STRUGGLING WITH HOW TO BEGIN REPLYING TO THIS COMMENT. I just. I have this huge grin that I'm sure makes me look super unhinged, small children and animals be warned. :DDD

Expressions were one of the main things I was fretting like a madwoman over, so that you pointed those out as something you like makes me stupidly giddyyyy!

AND FRECKLES YES YOU NOTICED THE FRECKLES THEY WERE SO SO CRUCIAL IN THE MAKING OF JENSEN AND CLEARLY THEY MUST ALWAYS BE FOUND IN THE MOST BITEABLE AREAS OKAY THANK YOU.

Hands! Muscles! So much fun to work on but so troublesome in so many ways. *appreciates the ice bath*

Thank youuuuu for stopping by to make me all flaily happy! <333 Now if you'll excuse me I have to take my happiness and apply it to other, very important projects. ;D

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

HUBBA HUBBA! That last one, especially. NICE JOB!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Haha, this is an excellent reaction to get! THANK YOU! :D

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Oh ugh, these are SO SEXY AND GORGEOUS I can't even tell you properly how much I LOVE THEM!! Wonderful art to go with an absolutely wonderful story! WOW, I'm in awe of your ridiculous talent ♥

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you! What a lovely lovely comment to get! So glad you dig it.

Also! YOUR ICON IS BEAUTIFUL. ♥__♥

[herminekurotowa.livejournal.com]

Beautiful art. O.O I don't know what I like best, every piece is too gorgeous.

*licks screen*

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Haha, I hope the screen was as tasty as this comment! Thank you! :D

[meus_venator]

Lovely, lovely work. I like the limited colour and Jared looks amazing in green.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I admit to being very partial to green, though Jared looks amazing in anything. :D So happy you like it!

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

You should see me this morning. I am strutting around fandom like I won the jackpot in the lottery. OH WAIT. THAT'S BECAUSE I DID. I AM THE PROUD WINNER OF THE FINEST J2 ART THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEEEEEEENNNNNNN.

I have already gushed to you AT LENGTH about the glory and brilliance that is the Jensen piece. But we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of my love for the Jared image (omg how dare you fret over hand drawing, LOOK AT HIS HAND ON THE LAPTOP. THAT IS SHEER PERFECTION MY DEAR. Plus his poor desperate lustful shocked little faaaace. *flails madly* And the way you show the light from the screen hitting his face and chest and his room details, and his amazing hair, AND THE MOLE BY HIS NOSE I WANT TO TACKLE HIM AND KISS IT OMG)

Then, THEN. How could you do this to me?????? How could you just spring on me at the last second the wonder and sexiness and deliciousness that is the make-out scene?? NECK LICKING FTMFW!!!1! \o/ I don't even know how I am expected to survive the curve of Jensen's spine and his ass in those jeans and Jared's tiny waist and the incredibly complex look of need and want on Jared's face and it tiny little sliver of space between Jensen's lips and Jared's skin and IT'S POSSIBLE YOU HAVE KILLED ME DEAD. ad;lfkjasdkl;fklasdj

Thank you, thank you. Thank you for agreeing to work with me on this and for taking my ideas and bringing them to such magnificent life. I was so inspired in working on this fic, knowing I had you by my side. And the .gif teaser!! How much fun was THAT??! :DDD Truly, one of the funnest fannish collaborations I've ever had. Thank youuuuuu. *adores*

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

ACK WHERE DO I EVEN START WITH YOU??? I've also already gushed all over you about everything from brilliant fic-writing to awesome person-ness so you're gonna have to excuse me for repeating myself. I'm not the epic wordsmith in this relationship!

I can't even tell you how ELATED I am that you approve of what I managed to do after you tossed me that wickedly sexy first draft and expected me to actually be productive. Like, my brain was in a sizzling puddle on the floor? And I was supposed to contribute to this project somehow?? It was touch-and-go there for a while, but somewhere in that blur of time, and with no small thanks to your encouragement and endless patience, I pulled through mostly intact.

And, okay, I know I obsessed just a little bit about some stuff ;P but I'm seriously over the freaking moon that you picked up on and like all these little details I only secretly fretted about. IT WAS TOTALLY A SECRET YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT OKAY. THE GIF OF YAY was a stroke of genius on your part! So exciting to work on! And I'm sorry if keeping the neck-licking piece as a surprise was traumatic for you, but honestly, this is what you get for being too amazing for me to keep up with. THAT'LL TEACH YOU.

Thank you for giving me something so inspiring to work with and, AGAIN, for being patient with me when I was being a total spaz. ♥!

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

Sizzling art for a hot fic!!! Thanks!!! It is wonderful!! And did I say sizzling?? Yea, that too!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

He is very, very pretty, I agree. :D Thank you so much!

[fridayblues.livejournal.com]

omg these are so pretty!!! You are so talented! You purely work with photoshop? Or you sketch first, scan it and work with photoshop from there?

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! :D Depends on the project, but this one's all digital, done via tablet in GIMP and ArtRage with pencil-y brushes/settings.

[jojothecr.livejournal.com]

Well, these are just gorgeous! ♥

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

So glad you like, thank you! <3

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uh, I don't have words to adequately describe how ridiculously beautiful and HOT these are, (also, hello Jensen Ackles Ass) so I'll just be drooling in the corner over here, mmmk?

fdjakdfj;k

thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you took the time to do these, they are a true fandom treasure!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

:DDD There is no higher compliment than drool and speechlessness! \o/ So thrilled you like. THANK YOU!

[masja-17.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! The emotions we can see... Goes to drool some more...

<3

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm so pleased the emotions come across! :D Thanks so much!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Beautiful and perfect!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

Sooo beautiful! <3

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Happy you like, thank you!

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

Your art is absolutely gorgeous! I love the soft colors and all the details. Beautiful job!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Haha, your icon gives me so much joy. :D I'm so happy you dig the art, thank you!

[matchboximpala.livejournal.com]

Hello! Stealing this icon because it is perfect.

So I loved the preview art, but the other pieces are just incredible. I love the palette, the detail, the way Jensen's pants are slipping down his hips, Jared's hip bones (OMG!).... Everything is just beautifully done.

You clearly put much effort and care into each of these and it so paid off. Kudos.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

EEE YOU STOLE AN ICON FROM ME I FEEL LIKE I'VE UNLOCKED SOME KIND OF ARTING ACHIEVEMENT. \o/

Ahem. Anyway, yes, I agree. Slipping pants and hipbones are so important. :DDD I can't tell you how happy this whole comment makes me. Thank you!!!
