fanart + fic rec

A few fanart prompt replies:
nudaydreamer wanted to see John and a puddlejumper. Well, John's pretty tiny in this one, but to make up for it it's got John, puddlejumper, and Atlantis. (OT3 *g*)





I need to buy a better scanner, the nuances of the coloring get lost with my old crappy one... [edit: fiddled with colors and contrast a bit]

This one's for newkidfan who wanted Rodney and Teyla doing the Athosian forehead thing:







fic rec (re-posting from over at stargategenrec):
Anger Management by friendshipper
Gen; Characters: Sheppard, Heightmeyer; 1,500 words
Summary: Conventional Earth therapy doesn't work so well in the Pegasus Galaxy, Kate discovers.

Fantastic characterization of Sheppard in the aftermath of 'Phantoms' and 'Common Ground'

snippet: "If you're too tired, John, we could continue this tomorrow," she said, and he jumped, yanking his gaze back to her face.

"Nope, I'm good." Too quick, maybe? He tried to read her face, but as always, her true feelings were hidden behind the professional mask. In honesty, he was tired, and scatterbrained; the feeling reminded him of being drugged, and it scared him, scared the hell out of him, although Carson said he didn't seem to have any of the enzyme in his system. Words like electrolytes and messed-up metabolism had been bandied about, along with more ominous words behind his back, words that could ground a pilot: depression, PTSD, obsession.

Past three am already... Again. I really have to try to go to bed earlier before I'm getting a sunlight-deficiency.

These are really lovely! I love the contrast between the hard, mechanical lines of the 'jumper and the soft watercolors of the sky in the first picture. And the Rodney-Teyla one is just nice -- nice composition, nicely shaded and colored, nice job on both their hair (yes, I always look at hair in drawings, I'm not sure why!). I really like these.

Oh, thanks. That really means a lot coming from you (just having seen your own stuff...)

The Rodney-Teyla one was a great prompt. I wouldn't have thought of drawing that scene, but I'm quite happy with the result.
