Description "Oh, look… we have studied devices like this for years and at some point ultimately you just have to turn it on."
Dr. Lee, "Avalon II"

My second artwork for Painted Spires ... like I could resist that prompt.

Prompt: Muppet Atlantis!

I wasn't sure which category to pick, because of the mixed media - the team in the foreground is traditionally drawn and colored with acrylics.

I like to play my crack straight so my idea was to put our guys in a photoshopped background, give the whole thing the look of 'manipped screencap'. I quite like the result but it would've been so much easier to draw the background from scratch. (There was much cursing.) Maybe there's a way to speed up the process, I just haven't found it yet. The idea of combining photoshopped caps with drawings still intrigues me even though I remember, at the time, saying something like 'shoot me if I ever try this again'.

I have never seen anything more hilarious than Ronon as a muppet. Impossible to beat.

Thank you. It was a fun prompt. For some reason I get a kick out of drawing tv character as muppets.

I can't believe you'd betrayed Smile Time for... this!
The manip is fine, but I prefer your traditional technic works.

Heh. No worries, this was just a oneshot experiment. I much prefer traditional technique, too. Besides the photoshopping doesn't even save time.

now I'm relieved.
I do manage to save time when doing Photoshop inking and coloring... but it's totally different from the artisan mediums (aquarel etc.). I prefer not to mix between these two.
