WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING PROMPTS

Many thanks to the wonderful artists who have offered to help make promotional materials for the 2012 challenge. If you're an artist and want to help out you can still sign up here

In the meantime we would like people to comment with a small description of what they'd like to see in the upcoming art for DCBB. Please write out your idea as clearly and concisely as you can. If your description is confusing or unclear, the artist may interpret it differently and you may end up with something entirely different than what you originally intended.

How long will the post be open?
This post will be open for seven days (it will close at 11AM GMT on Sunday 15 January) before one of the mods locks up the comments.

What are the requirements?
1) You must follow the below guidelines about what the art can and can't have.
2) Each person is allowed to post a maximum of only three separate ideas / descriptions.
3) Use the given template below when you post your descriptions in a comment.

The Description Guidelines:
- Dean/Castiel, Jensen/Misha, or any variation of these characters
- The art can be romantic or a more general friendship
- Do not purposely suggest anything that's directly related to any specific fic
- No porn (sorry, it just wouldn't be appropriate!)
- Nothing too complicated or background-reliant
- Don't forget to add what type of emotion each character should be displaying
- Keep in mind that the dimensions are between 400px by 400px.

Description/Prompt Examples:

Acceptable Examples:
1) aescu :  Dean and Cas are riding a tandem, but Dean isn't using his pedals. He's just enjoying the ride while letting Cas do all the work with his wings and feet. Dean's relaxed while Cas is sweating and looks pissed off.

2) everstar3 : Dean and Cas back to back in a ring of fire, Dean wielding a shotgun, Cas wielding his sword, both of them looking BAMFy and ready to kick ass.

3) aescu : Dean and Cas are on a motel bed watching TV with a huge bowl of popcorn. Dean is using Cas' halo to open his beer bottle, much to Cas' annoyance.

Unacceptable Examples:
1) Dean/Castiel, lightning. - [This is too short and vague. Try to add more specific detail to the prompt. What is the lightning doing/where is it? What's the significance? What pose do Dean and Castiel have? What emotions are they feeling?]

2) Jensen/Misha, Jensen is a pirate and Misha is his captive prisoner. They're on the deck of the ship and there's a storm raging in the background (perhaps even a tsunami!). Misha is tied up, in a beautiful dress, and gagged by the steering wheel on the deck. Jensen (who has an eye patch) is busy steering the ship away from the natural disaster in the background. Rain is pouring down on them and the wind is whipping--

I'm going to cut this one off. This prompt is an example of an idea that's too complicated and background-reliant. The art will need to be relatively simple
