Rating: G
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Characters: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles
Summary: Art for the 2017 j2_reversebang challenge. Unfortunately, no fic is paired with it at this time.



Original prompt and more about the art below the cut! :) Comments are love ♥ Thank you as always for enjoying my work and letting me know :)

Due to unfortunate circumstances with the author who originally claimed this prompt, I am only posting the art I created for this year's challenge. Should any authors see this art and be inspired by it, you are welcome to write fic for it! Hell, I might do that myself someday. Who knows! :)

THE ORIGINAL PROMPT
Click to enlarge (and I mean ENLARGE, holy crap this sucker is HUGE).

Title: Born This Way
Prompt Description: Extraterrestrial Jared and Jensen with the vastness of space behind them. (Not pictured, but it’s my headcanon that they have tails, if that’s a selling point for ya ;))

I honestly have no idea where this art prompt came from. I know I had started a completely different piece, then grew frustrated, so I started a new drawing of Jensen. Then, for whatever reason, I turned the canvas color purple... and decided I liked it? So I... drew Jensen (and then added Jared, of course) with purple skin, which I decided was a very alien attribute, and everything just kind of spiraled from there. I just kept adding different elements just because I thought they looked cool. (If you view the full-size image, you'll see some of that detail in their eyes especially!)

Not sure how I decided on "Born This Way," either (though I did have the Lady Gaga song stuck in my head forever after that), but it seemed to match the unusual skin and hair and other colors - for those J2, those characteristics were natural because they were born with them. *shrugs*

I had a lot of fun creating the space background (and getting yet another chance to use my favorite brush of all time, "Fairy Dust", to make the starbursts). Space has always been a fascination of mine, and I think it's just beautiful.

So yeah! There's my alien J2 :) Hope you enjoy them. Thanks as always for viewing!

So sorry you ended up ficless! Maybe someone will get an idea subsequently and write something. I love their blue mottled skin and green hair! Reminds me of the original Star Trek.

I'd certainly be happy to inspire someone with this art, lol! X'D Thank you! I really enjoyed playing with colors here. And I love Star Trek (at least what scattered pieces I've seen), so, \o/ Thanks for the comment, love :)
