Fanart: John and Rodney in the messhall

[anna_luna]

This is my first answer to the drawing requests I offered (there is still one non-McShep SGA request left! All taken!).

This is for newkidfan, who said: "McKay/Sheppard. In the messhall, Sheppard reaching across the table to cup tenderly Rodney's face."

Now, when I took this up with John, he refused to just stop at caressing and insisted on kissing (he's slutty that way)...





I'm trying to use my drawing tablet thing and basically using this meme to practice, I hope you like the results! I'm still getting better at shadows and stuff.

So much love. *adores*

Oh, I love this so much -- the arc of John's body, his left foot, his hand on Rodney's knee, his hair . . . It's more than charming. Beautiful!

It's really annoying when John starts doing his own thing, but then the outcome was so pretty

This is great. The shirt that rides up. The Pose. The hand on the knee. The tenderness.

Wonderful!

This is great - Sheppard showing skin is always a good thing, plus I love the blush on Rodney's cheeks. Lovely!

Wow, this is awesome! I could stare forever at that small part of John's back you see *hearts*

This is so, so awesome. (I am transfixed by how John's shirt riding up. *g*)

[tarlanx]

Oh yes! Wonderful :-D

*squeaks happily* So lovely! It seems like there's a story behind it :)

And askjflk!!!! John's shirt riding up! *swoon*

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, this is wonderful. Even more that the kiss itself, I think what I love most is the detail of the backs of John and Rodney's knuckles just barely brushing over McKay's knee.

Wonderful!

[arlessiar.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love this!!!

[tipsywitch.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! The shirt riding up and everything!

*deep sigh and hugs you*

Beautiful! ♥ ♥

Does it sound completely insane when I say I love their shoes? Because there are so many utterly, utterly adorable details about this, like the way John's shirt rides up and Rodney sits completely relaxed, but yeah. I love their shoes. *is weird like that*

*melts into a little happy puddle*

OH I LOVE THIS.

very charming

Thanks for drawing such a sweet little scene. John's shirt riding up! Rodney's crossed leg!

This is gorgeous. I love the light from the windows, as though Atlantis is watching them.

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

love Rodney's little blush, and the way they both look so happy! The walls & windows & floor all look realistic & Atlantis-y, and the tables & chairs look like the ones they actually have in the mess hall (I love them details...)

i also like their authentically and adorably clunky shoes, and that little strip of back and belly showing from John's shirt riding up. too cute!

[jade-dragoness.livejournal.com]

Oh!

*stares at and makes happy noises*

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

asd;faslfkj oh there is SO MUCH TO LOVE! John leaning on Rodney while he's kissing him! And Rodney's blush! And John's super-tantalizing strip of skin! Really, I don't know why Rodney doesn't just ravish him right there. :D

Oooh! I like the new coloring effects you're getting on the tablet. A lot more vivid, and interesting shadows.

Mmm, that said, John's t-shirt pulling up! and all the pockets on his pants! and the way he's leaning on Rodney's knee to steady himself! And Rodney's sweet expression, reaching up to hold John's arm with his eyes closed. Very nice.

Anna! This is wonderful -- I love the dynamics of this in particular -- the postures, the movement implied. Your older drawings are sweet but a little static; this is alive.

Thank you so much for sharing. ♥

[abbylee]

wow. So much love.

My favourite detail (in addition to all the others mentioned): that it looks like their feet are just barely touching as well.

This piece just screams "making intimacy"

[reginagiraffe]

Hee! I love the John-skin and the coffee cup. And I think you got the proportions on John just right. He really does have that looooong torso and kind of short legs. (No wonder why he can't keep up with Ronon! *g*)

(And congrats on finishing your thesis! Isn't it weird how much free time you have now? And how you have to remind yourself that you don't have to feel guilty for reading a book or being on-line because, tsk, you should be working on your thesis?)
