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:

This is beautiful. The moons, the sprinkling of stars, the lights in Atlantis... The reflections in the water are perfect shaky, indistinct images. It's obvious you spent quite a bit of time perfecting this.

But most beautiful of all? The whales jumping and Rodney caught in a silent moment. Gorgeously done!

Thanks so much!

I love Rodney in his quiet moments...okay, I love Rodney in ALL his moments, but he's especially lovely when he pauses and gets all serious and glad I was able to capture thanks. Thanks for commenting ^_^
