For those of you who haven't read "Ardhanarishvara", it is a wonderful fanfic by
auburnnothenna and
monanotlisa, where an advanced alien civilization, in order to further enlighten their new business partners, had several members of Sheppard's team genderswitched.
Now this inspired a whole lot of fanart by me and other assorted people.
And now, since Mona's in the hospital and I'd like to make her feel a tiny bit better (if you want to make something for her, there is a community called
ficformona), I made these:
Preview:

ETA: I have added a second version of the manip and the graphic after I followed some of
icarusancalion's suggestions.
Original version:

New version:

Just the Manip.
I figured, maybe I was going about this business of genderswitching the wrong way: Instead of trying to make John into a woman, maybe I should be trying to make a woman into John. So I used a picture from 'Resident Evil II' and proceeded to give her some of John's features. I felt like a bit of a Frankenstein, adding the nose and the eyes, the shape of the face, the ear and of course, the hair.

This is from the bar scene in Part Eleven.

You're right, it's less apparent in the graphic. But the eye-tilt shows, as well as changing the shape of her mouth is closer to Sheppard's. Some people might not notice the subtle shifts, but it's definitely more Sheppard.
And why isn't all of Atlantis falling over themselves to get closer to the femme Sheppard? o.O
