( SPN s1 promo & Origins 2 cover - cut to spare your flist the images if you're not interested )

Naturally, I printed out that Origins 2 cover and pinned it up where I have to look at it 9-5, four days a week. That is to say, right next to the other Supernatural promo poster I have (see images behind cut tag above!).

I love the way Sale's modelled the Origins image so closely on that first promo shot. The car with the headlight in the background is the most obvious, of course; but also in both the promo poster and the Origins cover, Sam and Dean are practically posed exactly the same way. Dean has that braced stance and the vicious-and-determined expression; Sam is looking back/side-on over his shoulder a step or two behind and to the left of Dean, with that inscrutable expression (in both!).

In both images the background sky has that kind of underwater/electric green tint and distorted texture to it. Only of course, where in the promo Dean has his shotgun held down in by his thigh, Papa has his giant Winchester rifle over his shoulder. The rifle also brings into the Origins cover that dark, heavy, aggressive angle that's drawn from Dean's gun through to his upraised arm in the promo.

I love that in the promo you can see the bit of the license plate that you can't see in the Origins cover (and vice versa).

The only thing that's bugging me about Sale's art is that the car's missing its right headlights *g*

Origins #2 cover. DEAN, UR LITTLE FACE!!!1

I am amused by John's dressing gown. Methinks Mary's scream awoke him where he was napping in the cigar room over his brandy snifter.

Also: baby in one arm, rifle in the other. FTW.


Now I must proof edit my very romantic fic wot I wrote in which Sam and Dean exchange lots of abject fluids.

*cackle of unholy glee*
