THE ORIGINAL PROMPT


"Jared and Jensen in [a] wine cellar. Jared captures the moment."

This was a quickie drawing, randomly inspired and done all in one night (I'd been working on a different prompt for several weeks already). When claims day came, this was the first of my two prompts to be claimed! Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] jillmariej! Basically, I love J2 and I love wine bottles (I collect them, actually), and a combination of the two sounded pretty awesome.

After a few different [very fleshed out, lol] ideas, Jill eventually settled on the office workplace, enemies to lovers, winter holiday schmoopfest story for my art to accompany. Once she had most of the fic written, I made a few changes to the original prompt to make it more Christmassy, and then turned it into the header that you see at the top of this post.

Then I made a couple dividers, and I thought that I was pretty much done.

DIVIDERS


Pretty simple, no?

But then, less than a week before our posting date, I got inspired again and created one more full piece for this story. I was thrilled that Jill made Dee Wallace such a prominent character, as she was on of my favorite guest stars from Season 11, and I gleefully took the opportunity to draw her with our boys.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM WALLACE ENTERTAINMENT, INC



This is the base image, and what ended up becoming the final scene of the story.

As I tend to do, I made a few alternate versions, both which you'll find at the end of the story on AO3. I had a great time working with Jill on this story, and I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say - we hope you enjoy both the story and the art, and happy holidays to you all! ♥

I LOVE the bright color!
And I love that you worked with your artist every step of the way. It's awesome. You have fun, got inspired and then have a new friend. This is great! I love Dee Wallace too. I want to see her again in SPN so it's a bonus she's in the story as well. It's also very genius of you and your writer to come up with the idea of this story. I love enemy-turn-lover story soooo much and I can't wait to read it.
Back to your art, your style is lovely and unique! LOVE them.
Happy holidays!

PS: I just saw you have one more prompt! Going to get to that soon :D

Thanks, dear! I had *nothing* to do with the concept of the story though, lol. My author did that all on her own! Since I beta'd too, I gave feedback every now and then, but the story is aaaall her :) I made that last piece of art before she'd finished writing, and it was her [pleasant surprise to me] decision to so completely include it in the fic like she did :) Despite that technicality, yes, it was lovely to collaborate with her as we did! I hope you love the story as much as you enjoy my art when you are able to read it! ♥ Happy holidays to you too :-*

(and I love Dee too! She was one of my favorite guest stars in S11 and I was ecstatic that Jill choice her to play such a large part in this fic! :))
