Redemption by Ancasta, Master Art Post

[essene_backup]

This year, I had the great joy of doing art for the ridiculously talented author ancastar , who wrote Redemption for spn_j2_bigbang .

Redemption by ancastar 
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Summary:  It's the future. Space has been colonized, the wealthy fly to work rather than drive, and slavery is legal.
     Jared's family has been ripped apart by tragedy. The only way he can save the ones left is to offer himself up as a bondmate. The more he is willing to give, the higher the price he can command. And Jared is willing to give a lot.
     Jensen is wealthy and heartbroken after the wife he adored walked out on him. He isn't looking for love. All he wants is a relationship he can control.
     Buying a bondmate seems like the perfect solution.
Warnings: Slash, violence, there's a slight d/s vibe early in the story (but it's consensual), language.

Artist's Notes:  
Massive kudos to ancastar for writing such a brilliant, engaging, well-paced, plotty, porny, FANTASTIC story.  It was so easy to do art for something that I truly enjoyed reading.  Also big thanks for letting me be such a big part of the soundtrack selection and letting me have any influence whatsoever over any bit of your creation.  It's been an honor and a pleasure.  Thank you for being so amazing.

Thanks to my darling dancetomato for being my second pair of eyes on things and keeping it all in perspective for me.  Not to mention all the ridiculous love and support you give me in general.  Gracias to turnonmyheels for giving a visual once-over to my creations as well.

Credit to the much more original and talented photographers and artists without whom I couldn't have made these pictures...

And some from blogs/sites smart enough to appreciate "beautiful" and "male" at the same time. (type it into Google...I did)

Also of immense help were several brilliant tutorials on planet/space creation which can be found at deviantART ("search" it!)
