----- EDIT: I've retouched this art. Among other fixing the shirt, the hair but most of all the skin adding texture. The brushes used came from Nakatoni [thanks for sharing your brushes.]

A long time ago I read a fan fiction where the brothers in one part of the story are turn into beings on each end of the spectrum.
Dean was all but angelic with wings and a blessing touch while Sam was a devil with small horns peaking through just shy of the hairline which he hid with a baseball cap, reptilian eyes and red skin if Im not mistaken. If the two were to touch theyd experience great pain due to the obvious nature between the two.
I got the urge to do a DA inspired by that but for the longest time I couldnt find a good picture to use as a ref and the basic sketch that I did sat for a long time in my computer.
Then the promo for season 4 of SPN came and I got a brain-flash. Ive used the same image as ref in other pictures of Sam.
Originally I started painting him as he was described in the story with wings and all but I didnt like how it was turning out. The reptilian eyes just looked wrong and to be honest Im still not happy how they turned out. I tried to make it so that it looked like he had hells fire in them.
I decided to make the horns like they where filed down much like Hellboys. In fact I used a promo for the first movie to emulate the horns if in a much smaller scale then HB has.
Dimension: 1803x2332, 300dpi Brushes: the basic ones in Photohop. Hard round brush and soft round brush. The hair is done with the Pen tool. Time elapsed:Over all this took a freaking long time to make. The most consuming part though was the glass. Approx a couple of days worth though spread over a span of 2 months. Ref: Season 4 Promo of Sam (Jared Padalecki), Promo of Hellboy 1, and one for the stain glass.

Very dramatic - I like the gold reflecting in his eyes, the filed-down horns, and his slightly menacing expression. His hair is lovely, with those red highlights.
The stained glass behind him is really pretty, and well done. I can see why it took you a while to finish.
Thank you. I am glad you liked it. Of all the SPN I've done so far this is my personal fav even though at times I was close to giving up on it. Anyway I'm glad you liked it.

I didn't realise you were back! I love where you took the promo image, especially those sawn-off hellboy horns. Seriously, this is an amazingly executed conception
Yep, I'm back. *g* I'm glad you liked it. For some reason I keep going back to that promo. It's a good one. Originally for the horns I intended to make them whole but I kind of liked how they looked on HB so that's what sam got. lol
