25th-May-2008 03:15 pm - fanart, Teyla as Waterbender
teyla
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis / Avatar: The Last Airbender Fusion
Characters/Pairings: Teyla as Waterbender
Media used: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint
Rating/warnings: G
Notes/comments: I did this for the prompt "SGA/Avatar the Last Airbender crossover" for the SGA fanart fest [info]paintedspires, as additional fanart for the Amnesty Week. This is more a fusion than a crossover, but I think it's still within the prompt's parameters. Originally this was supposed to be a series of portraits with each of the team matched with an element from Avatar (I thought after Teyla I'd do Rodney as Earthbender, Ronon as Firebender, and John as Airbender), but I only managed to finish Teyla in time to still post (just barely) during Amnesty Week.

8th-May-2008 11:25 pm - fanart, Sheppard & Steampunk!Puddlejumper
talent/enthusiasm
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard & Steampunk!Puddlejumper
Media used: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint
Rating/warnings: G
Notes/comments: I did this for the prompt "Victorian steampunk AU" for the SGA fanart fest [info]paintedspires. Admittedly mechanical pterodactyls aren't the most efficient way for a flying machine, Steampunk or otherwise, and not a very likely or even possible path technology would take from an SF standpoint, but this way was much cooler visually than merely changing the puddlejumpers with pipes or gauges or whatever. I mean, they more or less look like flying lunch boxes. Not really realistic technology, but this is Stargate after all, and I'm pretty sure John would think that mechanical, flying dinosaurs were cool.

The original is 30x40cm, so unfortunately I had to scan it in two parts, and you can see a slight line where I merged, because I fail at digital manipulation and didn't know how to make the two parts fit completely seamless.

24th-Mar-2008 09:45 pm - fanart, illustration for Trinityofone's Dæmonology
drawing
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis / His Dark Materials
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, the team's dæmons Nioke, Keho, Tykallita, and Imara
Media used: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint, a little bit colored pencils
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: This is an illustration for Trinityofone's SGA/HDM story Dæmonology, John and Teyla and their respective dæmons are sparring with each other, while Ronon's and Rodney's dæmons watch (these two themselves are somehow offscreen). The story itself is McKay/Sheppard slash, but the picture is very much gen.

The faint, yet still annoying line in the middle where the colors don't quite match is there because the paper of the original is of a larger format than my scanner, so I had to scan it in two parts, and didn't manage to make them fit perfectly.

[info]astridv helped me fix some perspective and relative size and positioning problems in an earlier pencils sketch of this. The illustration is much better for it. Any remaining problems however are my fault.

11th-Apr-2006 05:47 pm - kind of weird SGA fanart...
crack
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis / Watership Down
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay (well kind of, they're rabbits...)
Rating: G
Media used: pencil drawing, inked, colored and merged with a SGA background photo in GIMP
Warnings: None
Notes/comments: [info]seperis was talking about SGA as well as about her (apparently quite vicious) rabbits, and I commented that I was wondering when her interests would merge and there'd be a Watership Down/SGA fusion kind of fic with exploring rabbits, who are also appropriately (and realistically) vicious and rack up a huge body count... Somehow the image of the SGA guys as rabbits hasn't left me, besides I think the two would fit remarkably well together, because like I said over there:

"...even as humans they are hunted like rabbits by the Wraith in the Pegasus galaxy, I bet as rabbits they would have invented a cool mythology about that, and the clueless newcomer rabbits are enlightened by the native rabbits about the Wraith (or the rabbit equivalent) with cave paintings, and maybe there are Ancestor rabbits in the mythology too.

And really there's plot/setting analogues already. They set out to find a new home and meet new and different rabbit populations, like they could meet the Warren analogous to the one in the book that have turned from the old teachings and exchanged easy living for acceptance of being eaten, i.e. those who made a deal with the Wraith, and then there's the Genii who could be like the warren Efrafra. And of course some rabbits have special psychic powers like Wraith sensing and the Ancient gene..."


Sadly I don't write fanfic, but I made some fanart based on this idea with John and Rodney as rabbits. The rabbit design is more or less based on Watership Down movie screencaps.
