Twenty years down the road, Dean is part of a dying breed; a keen hunter who's lived through it all. But that's now, and it's miles away from that fateful night when a simple hunt with his brother goes horribly wrong. Attacked by a group of hunters out to kill the ones responsible for the looming Apocalypse, surviving the encounter was just the beginning for Dean.
This scene is set at the beginning of chapter 14; Dean, with Castiel, goes to visit the grave marker Castiel made for Sam, who died. This is the place where Dean goes when he needs to think. Instead of his trenchcoat, Cas wears different clothes.
Tech stuff:
Photoshop CS3-CS5 and Wacom bamboo. Many references pics were used, screencaps and personal resources.
This was the first time I drew the Impala, and it wasn't easy. I wanted to create an evocative effect with the headlights of the car rather than focus on the details.
The color palette on this is gorgeous and evokes so many emotions to compliment the subject matter. Their expressions are so subtle yet completely in character. Very nicely done.
