Gabriel Big Bang art for Quatrain by neotoma

[kdheart]

Here's something new - I signed up as an artist for the Gabriel Big Bang this year. I got to work with the lovely neotoma, whose stories have fascinated me ever since I got into this fandom.



Title: Quatrain - a song in four voices on DW and AO3

Author: neotoma

Summary: Squaring up is hard to do - moreso outside of the species. Gabriel wants to get married, properly married, with two wives and a husband all properly aligned. And all he needs to do is get Sam and Jess to let him, a sub-adult blue, into their relationship, and then find a suitable red-moiety female angel who'll agree to the arrangement. Simple, right?

Pairings: Sam/Gabriel, Gabriel/Kali, Kali/Jess, Sam/Jess

Warnings: domestic violence, violence against children, dysfunction families, incest (all discussed)

I went with the brightly coloured feathers because they go well with Gabriel's personality (especially in this story). I went through a few versions between this one. The first was luckily lost when I computer crashed, the second was way too busy, there were a lot of variants on this one and one that accidentally looked a lot like the cover to 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'.

There you have it - my first attempt to make art for something that isn't one of my podfics. :)

Now, shoo! Go and read the story! I hope you'll have as much fun with it as I had.
