Make A Request: Part III

Here comes the next (very) belated Christmas present and this time the wallpaper is based on a prompt from [livejournal.com profile] bowtrunckle. If I proceed in this snail pace, I’ll have the last request finished in, uhm, March or so!



Free Spirit: Dear [livejournal.com profile] bowtrunckle! I am pretty sure that this wallpaper is not quite what you wanted/expected when you requested something centred around the Impala, so I apologise in advance, in case you’re terribly disappointed. Thinking about the boys’ beloved car, I tried to imagine how I would advertise it and came up with terms like bold, non-standard, without limits and borders, and soon this image of the Impala - coming towards the viewer, breaking through all boundaries - popped into my head. So, that’s what I did. By the way, it's the first time, ever, I made a wallpaper without any people it it. *g*

I wanted to show the Impala as a free spirit that cannot be bound by borders of any kind, hence it’s breaking out of the frame. I chose the background landscape of the manip for its depth and level of detail and drama, as I think it harmonises well with the boldness of the car. Also, I went with a somewhat old-fashioned look, colouring wise, because the car is from the 60s. I know, overall it doesn’t exactly scream ‘Winchester’, but I was thinking more about the Impala itself, rather than the show. I guess there’s a good chance that you’re not thrilled about the result, so I offer you to make a more appropriately ‘show-like’ header for your profile page, something along the lines you use in your icons. I could combine it with Marilyne's request for a Dean/Jo profile header, so don't feel shy to ask for it. :)
