More SGA art…and not chibis this time! *gasp*

[gnine]

Since coming back from Thailand (I'll post on the trip soon, I swear, with pictures even. Really, really I will), I've been working feverishly to get this picture for the SGA art fest, paintedspires, done in time for my posting date of Tuesday. And I succeeded, and well, it's Tuesday, at least by my time, so um…yeah.

Little preview:





Title: Night Reflections
Artist: gnine
Rating: G
Prompt: Whales, stars, Atlantis at night
Medium: original quick pencil sketch, scanned and colored in photoshop
Character(s): Atlantis, Rodney, some whales
Notes 1: Thanks to xparrot and my brother for their usual beta efforts, otherwise known as "hey, come here and tell me what's wrong with this."

Notes 2: I wound up using over 80 layers in photoshop to get the completed image(my computer was NOT happy) and it took about as many hours to do so. :-p The prompt didn't really specify Rodney or anything, but well…whales! How could he not be there? ^_-




As always, C & C very appreciated! ^_^

ETA: now with links to downloads for wallpaper-sized versions:

1600x1200

1680x1050

That really is gorgeous, you have such an amazing amount of talent. I think what I'm most impressed with is the lighting, the way it reflects off the water and shines on his face, it's very realistic. And I *love* the city, it's so fun looking! Very lovely job!

This is so, so, beautiful. *stares*

That is just gorgeous, and i think it's my favourite from paintedspires so far. The level of detail is amazing - the lights of the city, the reflections in the water and the lighting on Rodney's face are just beautiful.

Wow. Just wow. :D

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous!

Heee, thanks! I was having fun doing Rodney, but then drawing your favorite character is *never* a burden! Glad you like!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thanks so much!! I was having faaar too much fun with the details, and Rodney ^_-

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks!

And SQUEE to your icon! Whee!

Rodney + whales = LOVE.

This is beautiful

[gnine.livejournal.com]

It's true! Rodney with whales just beats all!

So glad you like, thanks!

Also, your icon is adorable!

It's the way you've used light and muted color that gets me here. You turn Atlantis and the Pegasus galaxy into a pile of sparkling jewels. Everything becomes magical in Rodney's eyes.

[taiteilija.livejournal.com]

Hm, what about doing both *g* ;D

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! You're an extremely talented artist! I'm totally saving "Night Reflections" as my wallpaper next time I'm online at home! :-)

[retrofit88.livejournal.com]

Wow. Amazing details. Great light.

[aretria.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! The city, the water, Rodney, the whales. I love the reflections and the lights. Great work. :)

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

Oh, just lovely! I saw it earlier today and have been thinking about it every since.

[jade-dragoness.livejournal.com]

Whoa!

I swear, Rodney looks so alive I feel like I could reach into my screen and touch him.

*flails* The light, the water and the stars! *flails harder*

I stand is awe. Freaking gorgeous.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks so much! Mmmm, love the way you put it Magical in Rodney's eyes" Oh, oh Rodney *debates the cheesiness of "Rodney's magical in my eyes"* Can't help it, I love me some snarky astrophysicist like Whoah! ^_-

So glad you like...also, that icon pic is gorgeous! ^_^

[gnine.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thanks so much! I'll admit, I've made it my own wallpaper...and then get embarrassed cause I keep staring at my own art...but, but RODNEY. I can never look away, no matter the form he's in :-p *squishes him*
