Finale Wallpaper

galatheaThe last two weeks I was pretty busy, not to mention slain by the heat wave we had, so I didn't get around to make art. Yesterday my muse struck though and I finally took the plunge and made a wall that focuses on the sadder aspects of No Rest For The Wicked. I hope ya'll like it! :)
Oh, and after much internal debating, I finally changed my LJ layout to a more open and seamless style. I was so tired of the box-y Flexible Squared layout. :)
Legacy: Throughout S3 we see Sam steadily become darker and more ruthless, driven by the fear to lose Dean. This progression culminates in Mystery Spot, where Sam becomes self-destructive after Dean’s death; in the finale though, Sam accepts that Dean makes the ultimate sacrifice to preserve his brother’s goodness. In my wallpaper Sam honours that sacrifice by preserving Dean’s legacy.
I tried to visualise Dean's last words to his brother: I positioned Dean in the middle of the wall, because in life and in death, Dean is the central point of Sam's life. To the right we see (future) Sam carrying on Dean’s legacy, saving people, hunting things, taking care of Dean's car, just like his brother showed him to. I blended softly faded Dean caps just behind Sam, where Dean mirrors Sam's actions, to symbolise that a) Dean is always with him, if only in spirit and not in flesh and b) Sam continues the family business, like his brother taught him to. Dean is present in everything he does.
Since Dean's death leaves Sam's life without warmth and joy, I chose a 'cool' blue as the dominant colour, but there's warm yellow light streaming in from the right, showing that there's hope beyond the abyss of black desperation, that dominates the left side. I am quite happy how this piece turned out!
