This is the art post for spn_j2_bigbang's 2013 challenge.

Fic title: The Extraordinary Experiences of An Unusual Sidekick in the City
Author name: truelyesoteric
Artist name: kidezt
Genre: J2 RPS AU
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~44K
Warnings: Superhero level violence

Summary: Jared Padalecki, Class Two Superhero, has lived his entire life in his small town. Another disappointing Superboyfriend is the kick that he needs to get out. He arrives in the City, expecting to be overwhelmed, instead it seems that he finds a whole new world. He finds City rules to be stricter, he finds that the caliber of the bad guys are over the top, and he finds that the other Supers are a little crazy. It seems like this world is nothing he ever wanted and everything that he needed.

Phew! I'm finally done after going through a big scare the morning of my posting date when I received a hard disk drive error on my pc (to my utter horror). Thankfully, and to my great relief, I managed to salvage a backup of my work files and finished them on my cranky, old laptop.

A BIG thank you to truelyesoteric for her great story as well as her complete patience and understanding in my constant nitpicking and bother about her fic. It's been a fun experience drawing for this, and I enjoyed coming up with the outfits! I would also like to extend a thank you to shinigami_yumi, who without her help and critical advice, I'll be making even worse costuming decisions.

Awesome !!! I was eager to see the art for this one since I couldn't claim it first. ;)

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I hope you'll enjoy reading the story as much as I did! ♥

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! It was quite an epic rush of claiming. *laughs*

Phew I'm (selfishly!) very glad you managed to retrieve your lovely art from your hard drive - yay for backups! Ok I confess, I really want to see them in black rubber suits and you have fed my desires admirably!

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR ART!!!! and why the fuck your author did not use them???? Seriously, as an artist, these things make me ANGRY.... but hey, again, good job!!!! and of course, the file I´ve done with the fic is with your amazing art!!!!

[truelyesoteric.livejournal.com]

Because of the hard drive issue I posted first and then added the art, which took a couple minutes. If you look it is up now. There is no point in doing a big bang if you aren't gong to use the art.

I have so absolutely loved playing costume designer with you. I still can't get over how much I adore Jared's hair (and the non stuffed crotch of course). You did an absolutely amazing job. AMAZING. It's been so much fun. I can't wait to follow you and see what you do next....good luck with the writing too.

i love the comic book style cover - the fonts are great and the boys make such good-looking superheroes.

Very cool artwork to go with a very cool story! Well done! So happy to see what you drew compared to what I envisioned as I was reading.

Excellent job!

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Haha I'm very glad myself! Yay for backups indeed! :)
Apparently my hard disk drive was declared officially done for, so I need to get a new one. Bless backups.

Thank you! I admit I have a thing for men in tight suits. *_*

I am a huge fan of the superhero genre, so this story really appealed to me! It was a lot of fun trying a more comic styled way of lines and shading. Thank you for your comment!

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. :)

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[mashimero.livejournal.com]

This is so awesome! I love your costume choices and the retro-comic-book vibe of the illustrations!

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :D

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you so, so much for your compliments!
The art are now embedded with the fic. I'm afraid that was entirely my fault for only putting up the art so late.

Thanks again! :)

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[kidezt.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you like the costume choices! I went through quite a few of them before settling on the final designs like the ones you see here. :D
(And boy, were there some really ridiculous early designs.)
