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 stunning. I can well imagine it took you 80 layers to do, but it's worth it; it's just gorgeous. The lighting and the water effects are just perfect, and the movement of the whales is lovely. I really like the starry sky as well, and the sky and buildings reflected in the ocean are brilliant. Excellent work.

Heeee, thanks! I possibly went a little overboard with all the layers and detail...but, yeah. Glad it worked! ^_^ *huggles* So glad you like! And now we get to finish showing it to you soon, wheeeee!
