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:

Oh wow. Where to begin? The lighting is absolutely astonishing, and I especially love it on Rodney's face. The reflection on the water is gorgeous, and even though the colors are cool, I really get a sense of warmth with this. (Scrolls up to stare some more.) Man, I REALLY love the lighting on Rodney's face!

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Thanks so much....(I have to say I'm partial to the lighting on Rodney as well...his shinny shinny forehead. Oh Rodney, you just have the cutest profile)

So glad you like, thanks for commenting! ^_^
