I'm such a sucker for Evil!Sam, I could drool all over this picture if I didn't have manners. I really like how Sam has slouched shoulders, like he's defeated as well as the bleeding tendrils from the mirror. Outstanding job with the brushes.

Thank you so much.
Yes, you're right, he was supposed to look like that, like the whole situation was without a good solution. However for me the most heartbreaking part to do here was Dean holding a gun.Β 

Thank you for the compliment on brushes. Happy to hear it because this illustration was one of the most non-cooperative things so to speak, I have to work on. I have re-painted it a few times before it started to look decent and how I wanted it to look like

Love this piece. I love the defeated air and the way you can see in every line of their bodies that they're holding on to something that used to be so powerful and used to mean so much to them but somehow they've lost it and they just can't replace it. The only thing keeping them standing is a fool's hope and the realization that the moment one of them gives in, so will the other. So they must fight a destiny which they can not rewrite. And they'll go down together.

Absolutely stunning and bone-chilling at the same time.

Wow, thank you so much for such a long and in-depth comment. I really appreciate it and it's not so usual lately, that people want to spend a few more minutes on writing something meaningful. The more I'm happy to find one under my piece.
I'm happy that you are able to find all those emotions in it. Most of the time when I draw, I don't really plan the outcome. I mean, especially when I work on something born out of emotions and not just a decorative piece that has to look pretty. And the emotions you named here were certainly there when I was painting it. I just didn't realize, they could be red from the picture afterwards. The more I'm grateful for your comment
Thank you for finding it all in there and letting me know!

But of course! Goodness me, you made me feel super important hahaha thank you I absolutely love your work and I am touched to learn that I was able to describe some of the emotions you felt when you were drawing this piece. I feel much the same way when I'm writing. I can write something about, I don't know, a tree, and someone can read it and tell me I was feeling excited and happy that day. It's very cool when people are able to do that. But anyway, please keep up the awesome work because you're great at it!

And now I feel like a special jerk, who answers some months later Sorry for that! Thank you so much once again and it's me who is grateful for this kind of response and such watchers. DA has become a place of quick and short replies, but I can also understand it - we don't have much time to stop and dwell into something. Therefore I really appreciate it, because it means a lot that someone was willing to spend few moments on interpreting one of thousands and thousands of pieces posted here every day. Makes you feel kind of special as an artist ;] <3 Β

Oh i hope someone wrote a fic to go with this awesomely creepy picture! Interesting that you did this last year before this season's possession theme...

Not like I know
Considering I was going through Sam's history and filling in some gaps in my fan art and the fact that at that point in season 2 he was once possessed by a demon and supposed to become one or something of similar dark kind, it's merely a coincidence.

But thank you for finding it awesomely creepy!

I honestly couldn't tell at first look if this was supposed to be Supernatural or Cal Leandros from Nightlife by Rob Thurman where Cal is paranoid about the Darkling haunting the mirrors. (Had to check your comments so yeah, since you mentioned Dean it's Supernatural XD ) There's so many parallels between those two series, and Supernatural even took things from Robs books too!

This perfectly captures what I saw in Cal more though because of the mirrors. Looks fantastic either way you think of it.

I'm glad you liked it, even if I can't say much about the other story, as I don't know it, sorry

Thanks! I wanted it to be as creepy as possible, glad it works But to be honest, for me the creepiest thing in this picture is not the reflection in the mirror, but the gun in Dean's hand.
