Writing is my life, and I dabble in making fanarts through digital means every so often. Like making covers for my fics, though I cannot actually draw to save my life.

I’m such a sucker for Stiles and the nemeton. A great focus for earth.
I nearly didn’t do it, for the wallpaper I mean. Because I’d been making a point of not repeating backgrounds. And doing both pieces with the Nemeton felt like repeating, even if they’re not the same picture at all, but in the end I like too much how it looked not to use it. And like you said, great focus for Earth, I knew no way was I gonna find anything better.
I really like how you’ve been matching the art to the element from the title. The pic you chose for Stilles with the full grown tree is lovely. The whole art piece is lovely actually; I like the black and white background with color foreground Stiles.
The elements were a very important theme for halestrom, so they had to be important in the art too. And to a lesser degree the colors as well. (Hence choosing a pic of Stiles wearing a brown jacket, and not one of the many where he’s wearing blue, or red or black).
The choice between black&white and color was to make the big-Stiles stand-out, and because like Halestrom said, it worked well to differentiate the world Stiles came from and the new one, and him trying to fit in while not fully managing it.
Just like the first one with the younger and older Derek, i love the juxtaposition in the supplemental. It’s so cool to see such a small, gray Stiles in front of the tree and then seeing him bigger and in front and alluding to the world he came from and where he’s at now. Just amazing!!! I love this all so much
So glad you liked it. It’s almost funny that for the banner I knew exactly what I wanted to do, with the wallpaper I had no idea at all, just started kind of throwing things together, and then I remembered your fic, the difference between how the old Derek was in the younger Derek, and in this case, Stiles didn’t wake up a different age, so it should have been easier in some ways, yet it wasn’t, not at all. And I wanted to show some of that.
Loved these!
