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

Hey, after all the work you must have put into it, I don't blame you for using it as your own wallpaper! :-) Like you, I can't look away from RODNEY either, no matter what form he's in. Even the action figure is adorable.

...I reallly need to get my hands on the action figures. Like BADLY! Not sold in Japan, alas -_-

*blushes* Thank you so much! Ohh, if only we really could just reach in. Roooodney! (Um, I might just be the tiniest bit in love ^_-). Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting! ^_^

I actually only have Sheppard at the moment, though I've seen pictures of the McKay action figure and hope to get one soon.

Have you tried looking for the action figures in comic book stores or toystores? I don't know about Japan, but I've been able to find action figures in such places in Toronto.

Wow. This is gorgeous!

Lovely! I love Rodney's faraway look, and his sense of peace. On the show, Rodney is usually so on-the-ball and full of movement, like a hyperactive rabbit on a sugar-carrot high, that to see pictures of him just taking the time to relax and admire the scenery is a wonderful change. And I love that he's spending his free time watching whales...from the safety of the balcony, of course. :-)

Bahaha! That's a beautiful description of Rodney! And I do so love him in that state...and I love him at peace. Err...okay, so I love Rodney in ALL his glorious forms ^_-

So glad you liked it, thanks for commenting! ^_^

Oh, that's just lovely. The colors are beautiful, so calm and peaceful, and I love how you did the reflections. Maybe if he watches long enough, Rodney won't have a nightmare involving a whale tonight. ;)

Oh wow, this is beautiful! The city, Rodney, the whales, THE CITY! *loves*

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

That's so cool. Love the lights on Rodney, the reflections, and your Atlantis is mighty cooler than canonical one. Beautifully done.

Thanks so much! hee,hadn't thought of that,lucky for Rodney if that was the case!^_^

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Glad you like!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! I was having faaar too much fun doing the city. Glad you liked it! ^_^

I'm so excited.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it! ^_^

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! You really captured a unique, wonderful moment there. Love Rodney and hey, that must be Sam! & :-P

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you like it! Hee, actually, I'm not positive it is Sam, cause he's wearing the new uniform, which makes it the new planet which means I think maybe he's actually looking out at some 'whale' esque creature of the new Lantea and thinking of Sam , which sorta explains his kinda melancholy expression, all reminiscing and all that ^_- Err...I think I maybe think about these things a bit too much. But...well, thinking about Rodney! I just can't stop myself! ^_-

Thailand (I'll post on the trip soon, I swear, with pictures even. Really, really I will),

Yes??? And when, pray tell, will we see these pictures and hear the stories that go with them? What fannish activities and obsessions are taking precedence now?

We here in Massachusetts, who are envious of your travels and as interested in your real life as in your art, demand to see pictures!! And travelogues! Pleeeeeaaaase!
