Title: Pissed off.
By: Kjeri (Kjerstin)
For: Theopteryx
Media Used: Digital - Photoshop
Rating: PG
Fandom(s): Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles
Warnings: Wounded
Summary: Derek has been wounded by an arrow and is pissed off as hell, Stiles tries to calm him down while keeping his eyes on the enemy.
Notes: This is my first time at Yuletart, and I'm really glad I entered! I'm quite happy with this as I haven't drawn much besides floating heads for some time now. I've admired Theopteryx's work for years(I have one of her Octopus tees), and was a bit stressed out by doing this for her, but I believe I did the best I could've done inbetween seminars and crits ^^. I wish the background wasn't as generic, I'll do better next year. ;D

"Prompt: Some kind of action scene where Derek and Stiles are facing off against an enemy together - perhaps backed into a corner, on the run, one of them protecting the other who is injured, whatever you'd like. Not a huge fan of the show's werewolf make-up, but regular Derek or just red eyes/sharp teeth or full wolf is awesome."

YAY YAY YAY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I love Stiles being calm and collected while Derek LOSES IT and Stiles' FACE and PROTECTIVENESS and WEARING THAT SHIRT. This is awesome and the mood is dead-on and I am so happy!! THANK YOU!

Oh, wow, this is fierce! Excellent work!

I'm mostly unfamiliar with the fandom, but this is awesome, I love the dramatic lighting.

Ooh, great stuff! Love the drama and the lighting, and Derek all wolfed-out - I especially love the suggestion that even in this state, Stiles can control and calm Derek with just a hand on his shoulder. Nice.

[leyna]

Great likenesses! I love Derek's dramatic snarl and pose, and how calm and steady Stiles is by contrast.

[sabeth]

Ah, this is great! I really dig the painterly approach and in fact can't seem to stop staring at all the colours making up the yellow of Derek's shirt. :o Also -- the subtlety of their interaction, how it's just that calming hand on Derek's shoulder.

[turlough]

Not my fandom but this is really cool. Love the use of light and shadow.

I don't even watch this show but I love what you did with the characters here. I love the contrast in their attitudes and the way they're posing together. They feel very protective of each other. :D

Good Lord this is an intense work of art! You got amazing emotion into that piece. I'm not too familiar with the show, but I do like this.

Woof! <3

Very nice!!!

[omens]

This is great!! Stiles' face & neck in particular - niiiice! He looks calmly competent. Poor Derek!

[ria_oaks]

I love this! The composition and lighting/colouring is very effective. Both likenesses are really well done, and I love how you did Derek's werewolf face.
