Mea Culpa

Character: Sam
Text: Black Lab
Made: March '10
ThoughtsThis wallpaper is set in early S5, depicting the guilt-ridden Sam we see in 'Sympathy For The Devil'. We see a despairing Sam cower in a prison cell of his own making, it’s a prison made of shame, guilt and self-loathing. Sam turns his back to the light (forgiveness) coming in through the window, unable to accept a higher forgiveness for his sins. The door to his prison is open, Sam could walk out any time and leave the guilt behind, but he doesn’t, as he isn’t able to forgive himself either. He is situated in front of a mirror, but instead of his remorseful self all he can see is his dark alter ego staring back, reaching out to him, trying to pull him back into his grasp. Obviously, the mirror symbolises Sam’s struggle with his inner darkness. Sam is trapped and will only escape the despair, if he resists the darkness within and accepts forgiveness from others as well as from himself.

ThoughtsThis wallpaper deals with Dean's pain over losing his father in 'Bloodlust'. Dean feels dead inside, he knows he should have died in his father’s place and cannot reconcile himself with his own survival. The brick wall symbolises his (fragile) defences and through the hole we can look inside him, only to see nothing but a desert and a dead tree, showing how empty and brittle he feels. At this stage Dean expresses his grief through violence, hence all the blood stocks/brushes. The wallpaper is pretty minimalist, but I didn’t want anything to distract from Dean’s expression.

Dreamer

ThoughtsMary has always been a favourite character of mine, even if we didn't get to know much about her in the beginning. In this wallpaper I wanted to focus on Mary before the YED turned her life to ashes, the hopeful and kind spirited young woman, with dreams of a world beyond hunting. Mary feels trapped, she is on the inside, looking out, longing for the illusion of peace, safety and innocence in the 'normal' world. She knows what's out there and still (or maybe just because) she preserved dreams of romance and happily ever after, the very things she sees in John.

Originally Mary should have been looking out of the window, but none of the few caps where she looks up and to the side worked for the manip, so we just have to pretend that she is about to look up. :) Despite the warm colours, I chose a winter landscape for the outside because I associate quiet and peace with snow. Meta suggests that Mary is connected to a rose-theme in the show, hence the rose in my wall. The charm obviously isn't the protection bracelet Mary wears in the show, but a simple silver charm, one she would probably wear if she was a 'normal' girl. Technically this is a piece about Mary Campbell, but well, I love the name Winchester.

In The End

Character: Sam
Text: Linkin Park
Made: August '08
ThoughtsThis wallpaper deals with Sam after 'No Rest For The Wicked'. While he buries Dean's amulet alongside his brother, he thinks back to the things he tried to save Dean (killing the Crossroads demon, turning his brother immortal via Doc Benton's secret science, summoning Ruby, willing to give into her), devastated that in the end all his attempts were futile. In the end, nothing he did mattered. I separated present and past with colour/b&w to emphasise that the memories are already fading, the only thing vivid in Sam’s mind is the reality of a life without his brother.

When I'm Done

Award!
ThoughtsThis wallpaper is about Dean, contemplating what he leaves behind when he is gone. He realizes the impact that his death will have on Sam, leaving him scared and alone, beyond that there will be nobody else to mourn him, his life didn't lend itself to a family of his own and many possessions. I was tired of using the obligatory fire stock as a representation of hell, so I went with the light and the raven here. In celtic mythology the raven is associated with the God of the netherworld and a symbol for misfortune and death, so it was fitting well as an image for Dean's descend to hell.
Walk Down That Path 800 | 1024

Walk Down That Path

Character: Sam
Text: Katatonia
Made: December '07
ThoughtsThis wallpaper is based on a Salt'n Burn layout (December07). It deals with Sam's lonely journey in the first quarter of S3. With Dean being determined to convince Sam to let go of him, Sam reaches a lot of decisions on his own and has to choose the paths, that he wants to go down. Different ways present themselves to Sam, decisions on how to deal with Dean's deal, with Ruby, with his demonic heritage, with the secrets and burdens he carries around. In the distance is a light, Sam's hope to make the right decisions in the end.

No Regrets

Character: Dean
Text: Dismember
Made: July '07
ThoughtsThis is about Dean after he made the deal with the crossroads demon. It's simple, the archway engulfed in fire in the middle represents the path to hell and Dean's body is turned towards it, while he looks back on his life and has no regrets over the decisions that lead him here.

Caged Inside

Character: Sam
Text: Three Days Grace
Made: March '07
ThoughtsThis piece deals with Sam's greatest fear ever since Dean told him about his supposed destiny in 'Hunted': the fear to turn evil, to become a mindless puppet in the hands of the yellow eyed demon.

The window here is a symbolic one, Sam looks through the 'window' into his soul and in his despair all he can see is something inherently evil inside him looking back. It's still restrained but struggling to break free within him and Sam is afraid that he has no control over it, which is why he begs Dean to watch over him and consequently kill him if necessary.

ThoughtsRe-Work Nov07: This is one of my favourite manips that I have ever done and I was itching to re-work it for quite some time. When I first made it, my PS skills were way less developed: Firstly, I was now able to work out Dean's eyes, they were barely visible before and I also manipped the top of his head in, since it looked cut off in the original. Unfortunately I think the cap of Dean closing the door behind him in the first version is not really recognisable as such, so I decided to replace it with the stock of a closing door instead, the darkness behind it still visible. Additionally I removed the texture, worked some highlights in and changed to a warmer colouring. I am very happy with the end result.

This wallpaper deals with Dean's habit to hide his worries, pain and hurt behind a smile and a joke, so the mask metaphor was an obvious choice. I added a shot from Dean closing a door behind him to symbolize how he often shuts the world out, dealing with his problems and fears on his own, isolated.
