Description My god, what a terrible pun. Anyway, here's a John/Rodney piece that I worked on. I particularly like the sweat and John's left foot... Critiques are very welcome...

Edit: A lot of people have said there are five feet. I promise, there are only four (counting John's foot trailing off feame); it's an optical illusion. I painted this on a monitor with the gamma turned up too high, so some of Rodney's right leg and heel are too dark. The foot poking out under John's leg is Rodney right foot, a continuation of his leg that is up. I've lost the original of this file, or I'd go back and correct it to be more clear. Alas, this is all that's left of my hard drive from that time.

Gorgeous. ::saves::

The best part is the symbol in the middle of John's back.

'Advanced Critique Encou.."

What?
Are you KIDDING me?
There is absolutely nothing that can be improved on this picture!

This is the best picture I have ever seen on dA. It's amazing- truly amazing.

I've never seen such a realistic picture- it looks like a photo!
Wonderful, it really is.

Yeah, i should, but as it's a stock photo and I didn't have permission to post it, I didn't want to incur the wrath of the DMCA notice. I'll modify the notes to say that I used a photo reference.

(Also, yay me for letting this comment go for a year. Sorry about that! )

Oh my god..this is so beautiful! Fave it so much! Especially the sweat. Too bad it's not that easy to see except one observe it a bit.

Good WORK!

Wonderful work, amazing detail.
Every from this angle you can tell it's McKay and Sheppard.

The sheets are also add that bit extra of brilliant detail.

I don't know who the people are, but I absolutely love the art. The shading is great, the small details (ie. the sweat on guys on top's back), and that left foot are amazing.
That said, it's also really hot.

mousewrites In reply to shinimoeru [2008-10-11 06:27:25 +0000 UTC]

They're John and Rodney from the amusing show Startgate Atlantis. I only watched the first 2 seasons, but I found it funny... and Rodney has a big throbbing brain, which is teh hot to me.

Center of John's back (on top) is the Stargate Atlantis logo, if you look close.

Thank you for the lovely comment. Made my night.

There's actually not. On my monitor you can clearly see that Rodney's foot continues under John's leg. On everybody else's monitor... not so much. I need to make that clearer.

there is something you need to understand : you should have very much more fav if putting this draw on favs were not this EMBARASSING.

I would have if my page were not supposed to be sawn by young people... Then I can stand this injustice ^^. Imagine how much you would be faved without moral code. You deserve to be so much more ranked. >.<

I just can comment you. It starts now :

WOAAAAAH ! thats the most evident, tangible vision of the couple ive never seen ! before I was perplexed. NOW THERE IS NO DOUBT ! they are made to be together.
HOT !
Very good color skill. fantastic drawing style.
Just one tip : to differentiate the two character, you should have chose two skin tones. It tooks me minutes to find who's legs it was...
carry on making us dream... !

re: skin tones: I know, their feet are confusing! But they're pretty close in color on the show, so I didn't want to make them too different.

And hell, I'd POST more of my stuff if it wasn't so embarrassing!

mousewrites In reply to MaggieBloome [2008-08-11 06:14:02 +0000 UTC]

The 'extra foot' thing is an illusion caused by the fact that the monitor I painted this on is about 3 levels out of gamma, and so it's too dark to see how the feet connect correctly. I swear, only 4 feet.

Yareila [2008-03-18 18:14:30 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I'm a bit confused... because I see... five feet. I really like the picture and don't know anything about your work, but that just puzzles me. Maybe someone is suppose to have three. Jeez I Don't know. Sry, but I do like it. lolz

Yareila In reply to Yareila [2008-03-18 18:16:26 +0000 UTC]

I am an idiot. Sorry for ruining you comments. I full viewed it and saw the connection of the foot. I'm so sorry.

mousewrites In reply to Yareila [2008-03-21 20:05:35 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry about it; my monitor is a bit light, and so it shows clearly, but on most monitors that whole section (back of his leg, and connection with the foot) looks weird and confusing.

mousewrites In reply to Dil-chan [2008-08-11 06:20:09 +0000 UTC]

Happens all the time. It's because I painted it on a light monitor, and so the calf/heel are too dark.
