Fanart?

This art is for the story The Sacrificial Mage on sga_santa. The story is John/Rodney -- AU, non-explicit -- and completely awesome. One scene totally branded an image into my head and I had to draw it. Since I don't know who the author is, I can't give it to them directly, but I did post a comment to the story. :)

This is only very slightly spoilery, but makes very little sense if you haven't read the story.





Five just gave him an impassive stare in return, and then went to sit next to Teyla. He casually dropped cross-legged to the floor and put his clawed hands like a net in his lap. He leaned his head pointedly on Teyla's thigh, and glared at Rodney so expressively that even Lorne looked askance at the two of them. Teyla for her part blinked down at his wolfen mop of hair, and then looked bemusedly at Rodney, as if he was meant to have some idea of what the crazy lizard-Shield was doing. Rodney didn't scowl back at her only because she was pregnant.

Eeee, that's adorable! Hee! Bug!John looks so sulky and cutely weird, and Teyla is so surprised (and has pretty hair!)

Definitely will have to check the story out, when I get back in an SGA mood...

It's very much worth reading if you're ever in the mood for McKay/Sheppard again. And thank you! :)

That is so adorable!

What program do you use?

[sholio]

Thanks! :)

It's hand-drawn and colored in Photoshop.

I'm the author, so I'm posting here rather than at the fic page to try and stay super-sekret. But I had to tell you how fantastic your picture is. The colours and expressions are just wonderful. I can't even tell you how big my smile is right now. Thank you so, so much. When I'm able to post the fic elsewhere I'd love to include that picture, with permission. I love it.

Thank you so much! I'm delighted that you like it -- and yes, certainly you may include it with the fic; I would be very flattered. :)

Thank you! :D

Just looking at that picture makes me smile. Five's expression is priceless, so is Teyla's puzzlement. It's just wonderful.

Ahaha, Five's eyes! And Teyla's expression is priceless! :D

[sholio]

Heh, thanks! :D I just couldn't shake off that mental picture of John scowling from Teyla's lap ...

The expressions are especially great!

[sholio]

Thank you! :)

Very curious now. I haven't read the fic yet - still in the middle of another one - but anyway, the art is really cool. I just love your faces, so vivid and expressive. Shep's (Five's?) scowl is great.

[sholio]

It always makes me blush to get art comments from you, because your art is so lovely! I'm glad you liked it; thank you. :) The whole Five thing makes a great deal more sense in context!

It always makes me blush to get art comments from you, because your art is so lovely!

I actually have the face of one of your graphic novel characters stuck to my wall - whenever I stumble over a bit of art I find inspiring, it goes up on that wall. Faces of grown ups are not my strong suit, because I draw nothing but kids all the time...

[sholio]

Wow! That's actually ... kind of awesome to hear. Thank you. :)

(I also have some of your images saved in my huge "Inspirations" folder on my hard drive. I wonder how many other artists do that?)

Awesome! The expressions and mood of the pic is great!

[sholio]

Thank you! :)

I've finally read the story (... wow), and this fits perfectly. Nicely done!

[sholio]

Thank you very much! (Isn't the story awesome? :))
