Acrylic on 16X20 canvas paper. From the Stargate Atlantis ep "The Shrine", my fave scene from the Stargate franchise. Sister painting to


After Rodney McKay has something of a meltdown in the middle of the night (he's got a parasyte in his brain that's making him lose his memories and degrading his intelligence), his best friend John Sheppard brings Rodney out to the pier for a beer. Rodney wants to say his goodbyes while he still has his faculties, but John refuses -- he simply won't accept the possibility of losing Rodney. I was going to give this to David Hewlett (Rodney) at Dragon*Con, but there was a last-minute scheduling conflict that year. I fear I may never get to meet him now. :/

This really gave me a hard time, especially getting it started, as the references were fuzzier than I would have liked, especially the one I started out with. Still, I'm pretty pleased with it. For the moment, anyway -- I'll probably hate it tomorrow! XD See the WIP progression here: [link]

Both this and the one of John are incredible and together they make wonderful companion pieces. Your work reminds me so vividly of that scene. Great work.

I appreciate the feature, but to be honest, there is no green at all in this painting; the lights are yellow ... Maybe it looks that way on some screens, or dA's background is making it look green by comparison? ^^;

Interesting! The background looks like there is some green - probably yellow, but showing more as green on my screen!!! In any case - it should be featured - it's wonderful work!!!

Thanks, hon!! (For the fave, too!) :glomp: I'm glad to get more confirmation that I'm improving, especially since I this is only the third painting I've done in a *year*, and I felt like it gave me such trouble at the start! I really need to get working more ....
