Title: It's been awhile.
Artist: badbastion
Pairing/Character: Sam/Castiel
Rating: PG
Contents: man being de-shirted by another man, face touching and emoting.
Spoilers: Sam wears plaid sometimes.
Summary: You may have already seen this; it was drawn specifically so that I could make an in-progress video for an Ask the Artist post--but it's not like I wouldn't have drawn it anyway ;) I'm including the in-progress video here, too, for purposes of full archiv...ation






Yes.

Here's the in-progress: Done in Paint Tool Sai and recorded on Livestream, approximately four hours in two sessions. 32x speed.

WOW!!!! Stunning!!!! *.*

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting that video, love! I always love seeing how other artists operate; you always pick up a trick or two!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

:) I love watching in-progress videos--I love all the different ways people work. Sometiems atll I can do it stare with my mouth wide open, lol.

[sagetan.livejournal.com]

Sam's shoulder *____* This is gorgeous as always! Watching the in-progress video is like watching magic.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Lonely, touch-deprived Sam is one of my favorite themes, and I think it goes really well with Sassy. I love how there is a sense of need, even when they are still standing apart from each other and not making eye contact. And stubbly!Cas is a win.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really like Castiel and Sam together, and I do feel like there would be a sense of physical disconnect sometimes, no matter how close they feel emotionally. They're just not used to it. But I also really like thinking of them when they do get physically intimate after a while of little to no contact :)

[princess-aleera.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. This is so subtly sexy. O.o

Sam nipple

Also I absolutely adore your warning. XD

(Is it weird that I totally stalk your journal for Sassyness these days? <3 )

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Haha, Sam nipple~~~

It's not weird! Sastiel is my second favorite pairing, and I understand that there's not a whoooole lot of art for them :)

[princess-aleera.livejournal.com]

I am very much a fan of everyone being invited to the party, so my favorite party might be Dean/Cas/Sam/Gabe in that manner. But I write and read mostly Dean/Cas, so Sam/Cas is like a special treat in that manner. Besides, Dean and Cas have a profound bond, but Sam and Cas are just so incredibly adorable with each other. (PLus, I have a total hard-on for the whole 'Sam thinks Cas thinks he's impure' trope. X) ) And you're right, there aren't many artists that do Sassy, so I'm very grateful that you do. And so well, too;____;

btw, do you ever ship OT3?

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

I do like Wincestiel sometimes :) But I'm more likely to have either Sam/Dean or Sam/Castiel.

[dont-hate-me01.livejournal.com]

Can see the love and care shining through Cas!!!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

<3 Thank you!

[phx69.livejournal.com]

That is just so lovely! It made my heart race. You've captured them (Sam, especially) so beautifully.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! That's really wonderful to hear :)

[lysanatt.livejournal.com]

It's just so adorably sweet and tender. *sighs happily* Also Sam's tongue/Cas's finger = OTP! :P

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! lol, i approve of your otp ;D

[vanaynay67.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! Is that a video of u making it?

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yep, it is :)

[sammichgirl]

I love that simple Yes....it's in every line of Sam's body. Cas touching Sam's face, almost with a reverence, finger brushing over his lips.

And, adore the plaid. And the hair. Bet you can't guess who's hair. ;)

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I was feeling so soft and gooey when I drew this. ahhh, they are a good pairing.

Hee! Wose hair, gee, i wonder? lol. Thank you!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Also, your icon is making me want a sam!magician AU very much. I've read one, but I need more now, apparently, lol.

[thisweshallsee.livejournal.com]

Gah! *Swoon* So lovely. <3

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, it makes me fall in love with the Sassy dynamic.. You are corrupting me and making me like ships I resist.. I just can't get over Cas's thumb at Sam's mouth and the way he opens up for it, like he's been waiting for that contact, forever.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really like the Sam/Castiel dynamic; so different from Sam/Dean. It's nice to dip my toe in it :D

~~~~~Yooooou willl liiiiike Sassssyyyyyyyy~~~~~

[balder12.livejournal.com]

Quiet and intimate. Love it!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

[heliokleia.livejournal.com]

♥ *squeeeeeeeees* ♥

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

:D I'm so glad you like it!

[natashawitch.livejournal.com]

Oooh so lovely, and intimate. Almost chaste in touch but full of potential and desire.
<333

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly! Thank you for saying it that way. I'm so glad you like it!

[verucasalt123.livejournal.com]

I love this so much. Honestly, your art always blows me away but I have a soft spot for Sam and Cas.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

:):):) Thanks! My soft spot for Castiel and Sam is just getting squishier and squishier.

[helena-s-renn.livejournal.com]

oh, honey... your sam here is so realistic and true. and cas's thumb against his lips... again, the emotion is tangible. i am touched.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you!~ It makes me happy to hear that I've touched you :)

[reapertownusa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I knew this one looked familiar. A gal on my f-list had posted a link to your progress video a little while back because she (correctly) thought you were so awesome. I love the vulnerability (and the epic hair) portrayed here. I also really loved watching you do the flannel because those things mock me and you do them so beautifully.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Oh yay for linkage! :D

Thank you very much! Oh man, I've always loved doing hair, and I loved Sam's hair the first time i sketched it even, but I've come to acknowledge my love for drawing plaid patterns <3 I don't even know why! It's soothing, like drawing pants seams, haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[novakev.livejournal.com]

It's so beautiful! I love the face touching, and Sam's face, especially his eye, the shape, and framed by his wisps. Lovely!!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

All the hearts. ALL THE HEARTS.

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

Sorry I'm late, but thank you so much!

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

Ohsit. Pictures like this could convert me to ship sastiel in a heartbeat. it is beautiful, and somehow gets me hotter than lots of pics with naked people having actual sex on them. Because - Sam's face. And his mouth, and his tongue right there, and Cas's hand, and Sam's body, and Cas's face, and his mouth, and... and... OMG this is probably the hottest picture involving Cas I've ever seen. Oooh, and with in progress video! -goes to look- I envy you so much for being such an awesome artist!

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

late reply is late! There's something about vulnerability that gets people, and maybe I hit that nerve with you here - and if I did, I'm so happy! because that's what I was going for :) Thank you!

It's been awhile. [SPN Fanart, Sam/Castiel, PG]

[koshweasley.livejournal.com]

It looks like Cas is going to get lucky. I just knew Sammy was a bottom. ;)

I absolutely love the thumb suck.

RE: It's been awhile. [SPN Fanart, Sam/Castiel, PG]

[badbastion.livejournal.com]

For me, Sammy is anything at all, as long as he's getting some, lol. Thank you so much! :)
