Fanart - SGA, McKay_Sheppard

There were some wonderful pieces of art made during the [livejournal.com profile] sga_art_santa. Thoroughly inspiring! I thought I'd see what kind of wallpaper I could make with some of the effects there, some new brushes and a couple of PS tutorials I read yesterday.

Feel free to take for personal use. Comments are muchly appreciated!

Is Not My Time

It's beautiful. I have to say that is the first piece of fan art that has ever given me goose pimples.

Did you write the poetry yourself or did you take it from something? Could I ask you a favour? Would you be able to post it to me or get it to me somehow and could I please use the title and the first verse a as an inspiration for some fan-fic?

The reason being is that I am one of those people who's eye sight is a bit dodgy and I struggled to read it!

I am in the process of getting a new computer set up and when I do and when I get myself internet connected I will definitely be finding a way to get that as my wallpaper. I'm not sure what it will look like as I have a 20 inch screen. Hopefully it will adjust accordingly. Even if it doesn't I would be happy to share a screen with it!

Thanks for creating an posting it!!

By the way, I love all the pictures on your Journal too. I am jealous!!! :0)

Hope that all is well with you. May 2008 be better than 2007 and may all your hopes and dreams be realised.

Thank you! I'm so pleased you liked it (and that it gave you goose bumps *g*)! And I'm over the moon that it has inspired you to write fic! Yay!

It's actually snatches from a poem by Kenneth Slessor - probably his best known poem - "Five Bells". I took only bits and pieces that I liked, as it's a long one

" Time that is moved by little fidget wheels
Is not my time, the flood that does not flow.

Deep and dissolving verticals of light
Ferry the falls of moonshine down.

Your echoes die, your voice is dowsed by Life,
There's not a mouth can fly the pygmy strait -"

You can find the whole poem here @ poemhunter (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/five-bells/)

LOL! I know what you mean about eye sight! I'm the same and can only read it because I know what it says! Heh!

As for putting it on a 20" screen I recommend you put it on a larger document matched to your screen size, if you have a graphics programme you can use. I have a 23" screen and had to put it on a background. It will distort otherwise. Alternatively, if you tell me the exact size of your screen I could do it for you. I'd just put it on a plain background and you can nominate your colour of choice.

Thank you! I'm glad you like my pictures! and thanks for the well wishes. All the very best for you in this coming year too! I'm sending the wall now.

Thank you for the reply to your comment.

I wont have my new computer connected to the internet until about 10th of January as I have changed my phone/internet providers so that I can get wireless internet. The people that put my house together decided that I would only get one phone socket and that is not in the room where I keep my computer!! However, I digress. If you don't hear from me then please don't think that I have forgotten your offer.

I know that my screen is 20 inches because that is the spec for it. I will get back to you when I know for sure. Not sure if I have anything that can help adjust it to sized but I will have a look when I set it up.

The story is forming in my mind as I write this. I have a feeling that it will be an angst, hurt/comfort type story. With a possible trip in to and out of an AU. I promise that I will let you know when I have finished and that you will get a dedication.

Thank you once again.
