My first attempt at handrawn (in combo with digital manipulation) .. oh ... and McPenguins, too ... under the cut.

ETA:These were inspired by bluespirit_star's absolutely adorable mcshepguins, although a different species of penguin. I'm so sorry I forgot to mention this when I first posted.

I posted this to mcfleece, so just reposting here to get my duck down fleeces in a row.

Here's the piece I made for beeej for sga_art_santa I'm happy my recipient seemed to like it, and I really wanted to try an historical AU this time, so I had fun with it. John and Rodney are set in a Turn of the Century (19th) AU. I like to think they are enmeshed in some spooky mystery - Hound of the Baskervilles style. It's titled Turn of Centuries because Rodney and John's wardrobes are from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, respectively. My original idea was that John had time traveled to Rodney's time and then through their adventures together, fell in love and lust!

ETA: Oops! I am so bad! I forgot to thank my darling beta bluespirit_star for her wonderful eye and great advice in improving this! HUGE BUDDY HUGS! This piece would have been not nearly as good without her!

Plus, I'm totally snagging back the icon. Waste not, want not! *g*

In other news, I've been following the news with the Vic. bushfires. It's just indescribably awful!

I'm duelling banjos at the moment .. playing the S05E20 aired version in Media Player Classic alongside the pre-air in VLC. Both versions seem to have the same definition but there's a very slight, different colour wash, but they seem more equal with the aired in VLC and the pre-air in MPC . The aired has a greener cast, whereas the pre-air has more magenta, but mostly in earlier scenes involving skin tones.

I swapped them around in the players to make sure and yeah, the skin qualities in the aired have had the pink reduced and they are either greener or whiter and sometimes the uniforms are greener too ... It's splitting hairs maybe, but artists might be interested to know. There're the credits to deal with in the early scenes in the aired, the Sci-Fi logo and an advertising banners for shows as well. In the TEMP VFX scenes, there were a few differences - a couple of smoke plumes were different (maybe?), a bit more red on the outside of a spaceship in one scene, different background colours in a few shots - not really that noticeable unless you are comparing them directly, but there are some subtle differences and SF geeks might like to know.
No one not in SGA will probably even recognise the figures but click for my very blurry impressionist version of a very dark, "unrecoverable" cap from The Shrine"

I'm not really on time here - 12 hours late but ...

Hat trick? Triptych? I may have gone slightly insane!

Thought I'd share this, in the interest of spreading the mcfleece love! I like to imagine John (being on duty) is having a hard time resisting just grabbing his cuddly fleecy!Rodney, who is frustratingly seductive with those graceful hands of his! Now what could it be that he is demonstrating, hm?

I really enjoyed Indelible by shaenie. It ate my life for most of three days so I was inspired to make a cover.

Another John Rodney manip ...
( Three versions )

Good day today. I dragged myself off to the gym (walked) and swam my usual 1k. Lucky me! I had the whole pool to myself, so no battling ojii sans (old men) on my course up and down the lanes. We have to share lanes here ... one lane is two-way and I've been in some collisions in my time *g* Then I walked back and dropped into the coffee shop where I did away with all that "health stuff" and downed a "drowned in cream" Vienna coffee accompanied by rare cheesecake. Started reading Dreams of Speaking by Gail Jones.
