cover art for Speranza's fic

So. Um. I made an illustrated cover art for [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza's Written By The Victors. I hope I did it justice.





This is actually version b - version a would be in panel format and have as a third element that scene of Sheppard, McKay, and Zelenka standing in the hangar on Quana. But the roommates liked this version better, so I went with this one.

That hangar would make a cool motif, though. And I thought that the market place on Atlantis would have been ideal on the cover, but it would've taken too long to draw and color. Also, I tried to get Teyla and Ronon on there as well, but it would get too cluttered. Those could make great illustrations for chapter headings though. Theoretically.

And I'm not 100% done with it, as usual there're a dozen details I want to fix later... [eta: fixed]

Media: ink, watercolor, ecoline, acrylics

:D Wow! This is gorgeous! I really love the colors and the collage of the different moments in the story.

Thanks!

The coloring turned out kind of differently than I had in mind (though I can't at all remember *what* I had in mind) but I'm still pleased (if surprised) with how it turned out. :)
