[fanart] Muppet: Atlantis

My second artwork for [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires... like I could resist that prompt. :O)

Prompt: Muppet Atlantis! (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] strivaria)
Medium: drawing & manipped background
Character(s): team, Atlantis cast, Wraith guest star

image behind the cut...


"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"

[eta, upon request:]

Notes: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'.

Thanks, glad you like them.

'Rodney and Ruffles'... :oD

Ruffles. Oops!

When I first started watching the show last summer, no one on my flist knew anything about, so I gave some of the characters descriptive nicknames that were easier for my flist to remember. Ruffles (obviously because of his hair), Dreads (also a hair thing), etc. I usually call them by their actual names when talking to other fans, but missed it that time. Now you know my (not-so) secret!

Heh. It's very descriptive; I knew at once who you were referring to.
