Description
Er...cookies and infinite gratitude to those of you who are kind enough to suggest a proper title ;7; *is rubbish at decent titles, but is kinda proud of WIPtitles UuU*"Biribaula" is a word from an Italian tongue-twister, and it's also the name of that spear Cas is wielding UuU (the best part about creating fantasy weapons and characters is giving them silly names, yep. UuU) Also, Biribaula is basically the only part I like about this drawing. I don't know why exactly, but I'm very embarrassed about it, might be the glowy stuff, might be the face, might be the too foldy folds, I'm not sure °^°''' The reason why I decided to post it is because I was encouraged (by *thenizu in partcular, and then Misha did his part at JIB) =7=
Anyway, since Cas has now obtained the Weapons of Heaven, I feel perfectly entitled to design weapons for him mwahahahahahah >:'D
Now, why is he using Balthy's stone if no angel in their right mind would wear a vessel to fight other angels in Heaven?? ... ... ... ... I have no idea, maybe he likes shiny things? *7* Maybe all the other angels like shiny things and he's trying to distract them? °7°' Maybe the glowing stone produces creases in the wavelenght of multidimensional beings, regardless of them wearing a vessel or not ? Yes, yes, it must be. Mh-mh. Yep. >u>
Used a ref for the shape of the face and nose and managed to get them wrong nonetheless =u= But now I can't correct it since my computers suddenly decided they don't want me to use PS. =3=
Also, thanks to ~yawed . It's her fault if I find "biribaula" such a funny word.
And now I'll shut up. Yes, I will. Starting from....nooow.

wow this is just epic. Seriously, I love it, I'm glad you added the glowy stuff, I'm glad you added crazy drapery and those wings and those clouds!! It's simply beautiful. How do you design weapons like that? Do have any ideas in mind or do you just draw?

Oh, thank you! é////è I'm still really embarrassed of it, to be honest... °u°' There's something...off about it (might be the combination trenchcoat+huge-fantasy-weapon, no-one would take poor Cas seriously xDDDD Or the colours? The face! o_ò) Ufu, I (not-so-)secretly like glowy stuff so much *U*
*flattered* °///° I'm glad you like the weapons, they are a lot of fun to draw :'D b-but most of them are, erm, perfectly unusable as weapons, er...knowing this, the rest is basically just "draw whatever passes through your mind", in the end xDDD I should be asking you how you use colours!! *A* (me+colours=mortal enemies)
Anyway, it depends, this is one of the few cases in which I simply drew it and barely changed anything, but usually there's a lot of staring at the sheet or modifying some parts compulsively. Mostly I only decide the type in advance, and if there's an element in particular that I want to include (and then I stop for a minute and think if it's actually effective or not. The conclusion is generally: "weeell, every blunt object is a weapon, no? " or "who cares, anyway?"). And sometimes I just doodle random lines on the sheet without thinking and as quickly as possible, and then try to make sense of (some of) them. xDDD <---Wish one could do this with faces in fanarts, actually, ahhhh xDDDD

lol, thank you for your answer, hehe, I know what you mean about weapon design, Unfortunately Cas' blade in my last painting is totally useless as a practical weapon, so I hear you on that one.
But I do love your designs, and half the fun of painting is in creating something beautiful, the show itself is fictional after all. (Don't tell anyone it's not real ok, that's just between you and me).
…actually I've been thinking of painting Cas with a proper broad sword, we'll see…
Have you watched the S6 finale yet?
oh and to be completely random I'm going to be part of 'ask the artist' over at this LJ community [link] so if you like you can drop by and ask me really hard questions that will make me weep and bite my nails (actually I'm really afraid no one will ask me anything, and I'll be like the one artist that they invited on and no one wanted to talk to :/)
ok, wow I am chatty tonight, take care, and hey happy birthday!

Nimloth87 In reply to beccj [2011-05-21 18:16:18 +0000 UTC]
Whaaat, nonono, I love that blade, don't talk ill of it *pets blade* It IS effective to slash stuff, it looks plausible and at the same time it looks like something you'd love to hang on a wall(I do like it A LOT more than the official design of angel blades, which are indeed perfect to stab, but they don't have swirly decorations like yours U.U)
THE SHOW IS FICTIONAL???? I agree, it's about getting close to what you picture in your mind :'D Mmmmh broad sword, mmmmh... *drools* I mean, mmmmh Cas with a broad sword, mmmmh *drools* I'm going to dehydrate if you don't paint it, you know... BUT IS IT FICTIONAL, REALLY?? OAO
Y-yes I have....ç____ç I, uhm, I'm not sure what to think...Cas is my favourite character, and I know that story-wise it was probably(?) a cool thing to do, but...but....I just wish Supernatural's REAL God would show up and defuse him TuT The change in his voice gave me the willies, because it meant that the thing in that vessel isn't exactly Cas anymore T_____T *eats chocolate and offers you some* In the end, I prefer the season finales in which he explodes (and gets rebuilt), definitely. UuU What do you think of it?
Oooh that's cool!! *7* Eeeeeh Thalia and Nizu are there too!!! *7* Are you embarrassed? :'D Sure, when are you going to post it? Hard questions, yup, no problem *wicked grin* (xDDDD Now, why would people not want to talk to you??? Not only you're a fantastic artist, but you're a lovely person, too, so the only, remote "danger" is that people will only write compliments and no questions! XDDD But if you are worried, you could link that post to your dA journal and to your livejournal! )
Hehe I like chatty! Thank you so much, Becc!

Ah I am sorry, no no of course show is not fictional…don't panic, remember to breath…I will 'phone' Cas and ask for him to pose with a broad sword, I think this must be done of course now he is god or something so I'm not sure when he'll be available.
oooh his voice change was creepy but compelling, I could not look away from the screen, that was an amazing scene. *thank you, eats offered chocolate* Hmmm, I like the idea but I did not see it coming so I'm still a little in shock, I kind of hope season 7 he might redeem himself, it was great having him around as a supernatural character that was actually good, and of course he kicked-ass so well while looking cool in his trenchy…he's incredibly scary now, I really thought he might kill Dean.

Phew, I was worried there for a minute.
Yeeeah, that's the problem with gods, they're terrible at two-way conversation U.U
This is the scene I pictured:
Cas: "Is nudity necessary?"
Becc: "shhhh, it's artistic, and this way people will focus on the sword. Yep. U.U And I did give you a hip cloth and some leaves for the hair, don't complain. Could you make your halo a bit brighter? There's a good boy."
...yes, it must be done. U.U
It was an amazing scene, and I'm happy for Misha's throat xDDDD But I do hope he'll go back to how he was, honestly, I love him too much to have him turned into an emotionless being who ate too many monster souls and might actually become evil °3° And I mean, he was basically the only friend the Winchesters had and viceversa çAç *heart cannot deal with this* I don't think he would have killed Dean (I was a bit surprised when he let Crowley leave. Glad, but surprised. Luck of the devil. xD) What if he gets rid of the trenchcoat in the next season? OAO *DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN* Ah, well, as long as it's not a white suit... xDDDDDDDDDDDDD
See? xD And yes, it's always interesting to see how other people work! I especially appreciated you showing the colour palettes! Oh, there's something I didn't ask you, well it's just a technical question since I saw you use cs5...I was having problems with PS (cs4) on my computer when I was drawing this, so I installed the CS5 trial version on the laptop, only the laptop for some reason doesn't always let me use the tablet pen, so was it my stupid laptop or the pressure sensitivity doesn't work with cs5, at least with the basic brushes???? °__°'

I'm not sure I will be able to focus in those conditions, but I will try my best (:
yes too many monster souls are not good for the digestion You are right, they killed off all the other good guys, and Cas didn't have any friends besides the boys…*reaches for the tissues, and offers you one*
Yes Crowley still on the loose, so perhaps we will see more of him, I was thinking Meg might make an appearance, but she's becoming a 'I only appear once a season' kinda girl.
Lol, please no white suit or roses for Cas.
For the techy question: hmmm, I'm afraid to say your laptop, I've no problems with pressure sensitivity, no matter the brush, though if it's working with other custom brushes but not the basic ones…I'm stumped I'm afraid. Maybe check the tablet settings?…I'm grasping at straws here. I hope it works out

*nods* I'll watch and try not to laugh, bring water to both of you and take care that the leaves and/or the hip cloth don't fall U.U
U-uh... ç__ç *takes tissue gratefully and blows nose* That stupid angel even killed Balthazar DDDD8 Now that he's a god he could at least have the decency to bring him back >u>
Ufu, I'll be very happy to see Crowley again, I have a soft spot for him :'D (uh, Meg, I actually liked her last time she appeared, but usually I can't stand her because she's evil for the sake of being evil, she just enjoys being a nuisance >u>)
Gaaaah I suspected it DDD8 Stupid laptop, it doesn't accept the tablet or something. *shakes fist* I'll just keep using my very old, VERY slow but reliable PC. That sleek laptop thinks it's so cool, but it just can't compete with this huge, heavy, noisy box, umpf. è^é The laptop could never sound like a helicopter, for instance, not even if it tried really hard.

....l'hai davvero intitolato Biribaula. Non so bene se slapparti il naso o mordicchiarti il codino per questo. Ma aspetta. Sono entrambi segni d'affetto, mannaggia! OAO!!
Ma io ci voglio bene alle foldy folds, pecchè tu non ci vuoi bene?
Mi piace. Dopo un anno, infesto ancora in qualche modo le tue deviations ù7ù *azzai proud* Ma ouch, Cassone ha definitivamente deciso di darsi alla ribellione? T-T
Comunque l'ultima ipotesi sulla presenza della pietra baglierosa mi pare più che accreditabile. Sì. Non lascia spazio a nessuna sorta di dubbio. Mh.
Biribaula credo ti sia molto grata, ad ogni modo. Nessuno la prenderà mai sul serio con quel nome e lei, zitta zitta, potrà sfoderare tutto il suo spiazzante potere mentre i nemici stanno ancora cercando di riprendersi dai crampi delle risate. POTERE COMBINATO. SUPER EFFETTIVO.
Comunque, Pandinissimo, io lo trovo ancora meraviglioso. Stacce.

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD N-non ho resistito, e mi vergognavo a dare un titolo serio! UuU Una ragazza mi ha suggerito "Plight of Heaven" che è obbiettivamente una figata di titolo, ma mi sembra troppo figo, non so che fare!! ç7ç *eppoi, Biribaula la fa ridere*
Tu comunque, fai entrambe le cose, per sicurezza U.U
8DDDD E' che ogni tanto ne escono proprio fuori troppe! Ma posso chiamarle "pieghette drammatiche", così nessuno osererà fare una piega (...uh. Piega. Giuro che questo orribile gioco di parole è uscito per puro caso, e poi non ho avuto il cuore di cancellarlo) U.U
Mwah! Hai visto? UuU Guh, Cassone proprio non apre più photoshop (magari provo a reinstallarlo, che dici? Mi dispiace solo di perdere i colori che mi ero fatta, erano comodi) ç7ç Gionàrt sta con la versione di prova del CS5 e ora devo trovare un modo per tenermela, perchè il PSportatile non me lo apre, ma cè sempre il problema che a volte con Gionàrt la tavoletta smette di funzionare! ç7ç
Assolutamente. U.U In realtà poi nel corso dei commenti sono state analizzate le altre ipotesi, molto più plausibili della terza. U.U Vedi, gli angeli cono fatti in modo da bearsi nella luce di Dio, convinti che non ci sia nulla di meglio, ma dato che Dio è al momento in vacanza, gli angeli sono confusi e si sentono attratti da qualunque oggetto luminoso. Non possono farci nulla, poverini. Una pietra sbrilluccicosa è quindi per loro il massimo della distrazione. U.U Cas riesce a mantenere l'autocontrollo perchè è uno dei pochi che ha capito come funziona il libero arbitrio, ma segretamente vorrebbe tanto chiudersi in camera a fissare la pietra per ore UuU
8DD Bwahahahah è bello vedere come ragioniamo allo stesso modo. Esattamente, esattamente, ha un nome così sottovalutabile che chi la impugna è destinato a vincere qualunque battaglia. UuU
Altre cose venute fuori durante i commenti sono l'intera vita dell'angelo Bob(con Raeve, che mi fa tajare perchè è un'altra che dice cacchiate a nastro xDDD), che è stato poi prontamente disegnato, e il fatto che l'aureola di un angelo cambi a seconda dell'equipaggiamento, il che è stupido perchè dà ai nemici un quadro chiarissimo dei trucchetti a loro disposizione. Pennuti senza cervello. U.U

Oooh, ma grassie! é////è Sono contenta che ti piacciano :'D Però quell'aureola è solo di Cas e di nessun'altro UuU (perchè vedi,fa pandan con la lancia, quindi ho il sospetto che l'aureola cambi a seconda dell'arma, o magari è il contrario? *confusissima* Ok, diciamo che l'aureola cambia a seconda di come un angelo è equipaggiato, il che è terribilmente stupido perchè dà agli avversari un quadro completo dell'armamentario a sua disposizione, ma che ci vuoi fare, sono pur sempre pennuti, e i pennuti non brillano certo per intelligenza, di solito UuU)
