Fanart for synecdochic's 'Recovering the Satellites'

[anna_luna]

After I read synecdochic's Recovering the Satellites my interest in Sam and Cameron as a couple was peaked. The result? Fanart... actually a lot of fanart:







My reaction to the fanfic was something like this: "O shinny! I want to draw thee scene where they kiss in the hanger! And Sam's feet on the dashboard... and the cave scene!" And I after I drew those, I realized I might as well draw the other two scenes and have a whole set. This is the first time I have ever drawn either of them.



This picture is defined by P.W.P.(Perspective? What Perspective?). Clearly showing that I have no idea what cars look like from the inside.




This is the last one I drew, it is actually the one where I think they look the least like Cam and Sam.




The shirt Cam is wearing is actually my brother's, he left it lying around and well, it got sort of immortalized. I like this one, they look so domestic. It is the moment just before he attacks her with the towel.




This is my favorite one. The 302 (henceforth know and the ship-from-hell) took forever to be drawn. And the not!Jonas staring were so much fun. Actually I think she looks the most like Sam in this one (and you only see the back of her head... figures).




And of course, the uber cute last scene with injured!Cam... I showed my brother the original pencil drawing and he thought Sam was actually Daniel... I guess I've forever warped his perception of my drawings with slash...

I tried to match Sam's hair with the years (she sort of alternates longish and shortish in the series) and did a terrible job of it...

This is so fucking amazingly hellaciously awesome I have no words. I think the third one is actually my favorite -- I love the expression on her face! -- but they're all so tremendously incredible that I have such a hard time deciding! The look on Cam's face in the last one just kills me. And his scowl in the second one, and her "it's fine, really" expression. And his utter and complete joy in the fourth. And her boots on the dash in the first one! And the look on her face! OMG, these are wonderful.

:D I'm glad you liked them! I had a great time drawing these! Sam and Cam are just made of *love*. I tried to catch the mood in all those little scenes.

The look on Cam's face in the last one just kills me.

I took the liberty to scratch his face, since you don't tell us how he broke his leg and I figured he fell down a cave cliff or something and is actually lucky he didn't break his neck. Cam is handing Sam his heart on a platter, and he can't even look her in the eye while doing it.

And her boots on the dash in the first one!

Actually, since I'm not a native English speaker I wasn't a 100% sure what a dashboard was... so I did a google image search and got this really strange picture of a crash dummy showing the negative mix of feet on the dashboard and an inflated airbag 0.0
Let's just say, Cam better watch his driving.

And his utter and complete joy in the fourth

Joyful!Cam came so naturally, I think it's his default setting. :D

I think I overcompensated(OMG I drew five!) because I never got around to draw you something for 'Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose' (I've just tried to listen to the podcast at work... *bad, bad idea* I still haven't been able to re-read it... it doesn't make me sad, exactly, but it does touch me and makes me all teary eyed and I look suspiciously like I'm *not* working...). Maybe I haven't drawn it because I don't feel confident in drawing older!balding!Rodney or giving your wonderful OC a physical appearance(hmmm... now I actually *do* want to draw them... have any pointers?).

Sitting with your feet on the dashboard is so dangerous, especially with airbags these days. But both Sam and I still do it ;) (I've actually been known to hang my leg out the window and prop my foot on the rear-view mirror when I'm in the passenger seat. That's just asking for trouble.) And I had it in my head that Cam had slipped and fallen down the side of a riverbank while they were running at top speed to get away from shooting Jaffa, and Sam went in after him to drag him out. But I was vague, so everyone can make up their own ideas about how he got hurt. :) He's just generally banged up, so any injury at all makes sense, really!

(He totally can't look her in the eye. If he were looking her in the eye, he'd never be able to say anything. He's so adorable.)

For Freedom -- you don't have to draw anything, really! But if you want to, Harris is, in my head, a tall skinny (and I do mean tall and skinny -- think like 6'4" and 130 pounds) black kid with a mostly-shaved head and a mostly-serious expression -- he doesn't smile or laugh much, but when he does, it lights up his whole face. He tends to wear oversized baggy clothes, because he has trouble finding things that fit. :)
