Fanart: Rodney's Life

[anna_luna]

I finally finished my Valentine's Day Trade for fleurrochard. She traded me a wonderful song and I wanted to make something a bit different for her... And then this idea took over my brain and I've been working on it for weeks.

fleurrochard said she wanted "something about Rodney and music"... so I present to you: Rodney's Life:



Medium: Cut paper (inspired by Robert Ryan and my 6th grade art teacher who we used to do stuff like this with)











The text reads:

"When I was young, I fell in love with music,
but then I was told that music did not love me back,
so I looked for something prettier than music, and found the stars,
and in their orbits and colors and equations, I found music again."

This was a difficult project, but I love the result, the papercuts look awesome on many different backgrounds, but I finally decided to scan them over the stripped paper... I might experiment with them some more later.

Also, I'm sorry for the yellow stripe on the left.,.. my scanner is broken and just puts it there...

Oh, wow. This is absolutely *gorgeous*. I can't even imagine the time, patience, and care it must have taken for you to cut those small, intricate shapes out of paper. Even the words are beautiful in shape and meaning! What a wonderful gift!

Here via stargategenrec. I love the sense of wonder in his face and all the way the stars swirl, too, like music. :D

*blushes*

I am so amazed someone recced me!

I am glad you noticed the similarity in the swirls, I was hoping that would come trough! And I love Rodney and I believe he has a deep love for both science and music.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the story this tells. A also adore the medium you chose. Thank you for sharing!

[anna_luna]

Thank you so much! I really love Rodney and I really wish there had been more canon about his musical background. I think it one of the most endearing things that we know about him and it is one of the reasons I love him as a character.

I love making papercuts, even if they take forever! :D

Here on a rec. That's so gorgeous and artistic! Poor wee Rodney.

[anna_luna]

Thank you very much! I think that that one point of information in the series regarding Rodney and music tells us so much of his character and I am fascinated by it. I really like Rodney and I am glad I had the chance to make this.
