Fanart: Working through the backlog...

[anna_luna]

I made some tiny fanart! Really tiny, none of the pictures bellow is more than 10cm on the side.

I'm working through my personal backlog of memes and trades... actually the first two are still from last year's Valentine's Day Trade Game.

For clear_as_blood who wanted "a cute moment like the two of them cuddling and reading a book or newspaper":

The book they were reading fell of the couch when they fell asleep?



Medium: Pencil and markers on paper.

For perfica who wanted something from the fic she wrote me :



It's a bit happier than the atmosphere of the fic, but I got a sense of hope reading the end and this is what I could come up with.

Medium: Markers on paper.



Also I finished two from the The Drawing Meme.

For villainny who wanted "John babysitting for someone and not getting on too well, and Rodney finding that hilarious":



EDIT: I forgot there was some text I wrote for this...

J: OK, OK, she's eating now.
R: You owe me *big*. And also, hahahaha.

I am guessing it is either Babysitter!AU or that is John's third niece.

Medium: Markers on paper.

For telesilla who wanted "Steampunk/Edwardian era John and Rodney sitting on the grass talking":



Medium: Markers on paper.

I am so very fond of Rodney's hat and goggles!

Aw, I love these - very cool how you alternated colour schemes and the blur level of the strokes.

That said, do you mean "G-rated" when you say "Gen" there? Because the images look plenty shippy to me (♥), not at all like what's considered manly friendship.

[anna_luna]

AKK! Thank you! All fixed now, I think...

That is what happens when I overuse the copy/paste... the only Gen one is the one of John and the baby... :(

I am glad you like it! For the last 3 I was testing out my new black markers, I like the effect, it is so crisp and clear, totally different from the first one.

I seem to spend a lot of my time drawing John and Rodney cuddling. I love my boys. :)

Always a good idea to try new techniques and materials, definitely!

I so totally understand. *g*

[anna_luna]

:) They are made of cookies and cotton candy, I just wish I had more *time*.

[bellewhan.livejournal.com]

They're all lovely, especially the colour schemes. I especially like the babysitting one. The little baby could be a de-aged baby Rodney. At least that's what I'm telling me.

[anna_luna]

Hahah. I hadn't thought of de-aged!Rodney! Actually there was a bit of text that went with the picture and I forgot to post:

J: OK, OK, she's eating now.
R: You owe me *big*. And also, hahahaha.
I am glad you like the colors! They look so different than watercolors.

[miscellanny.livejournal.com]

Hee, yay! They're all gorgeous, although John's harried expression is clearly my favourite.

[anna_luna]

:) Poor John, he totally overestimated himself! He thought he would be a *good* babysitter... and then he had to run and call Rodney.

I am glad you liked it!

[taiteilija.livejournal.com]

*flails*

They're gorgeous, Anna ♥

[anna_luna]

:) Thank you so much! I love drawing and I have been missing it a lot.

[looking4tarzan.livejournal.com]

Oh man the first one had me "asdflkfsgklsrje-ing"
and yes it's Rodney's hand on John's hip that totally makes it for me!!


and the squishy one....you do realise not drawing hands makes it all more tempting for me! (Rodney's are totally curled up in john's belt loops)

Poor John, baby sitting, I love his harried look

Heeee steapunk (John totally mocks Rodney's hat from time to time just to rile him up)


AWESOME Hun...and yes I am aware I owe you shopping!john and rodney

[anna_luna]

:) I was wondering when someone was going to comment ON RODNEY'S HAND INSIDE JOHN'S BOXERS! It was my favorite part of that drawing, besides John's relaxed smiley face.

Rodney's are totally curled up in john's belt loops.
It's their natural place to be! They are *always* there... it their default position *every time* I don't draw them.

John babysitting would be *hilarious*! He would think he could totally do it and the kids would slowly drive him *insane*. And then he'd call Rodney on his pink phone and Rodney would talk him through it.

Of course the hat would be mocked... but then Rodney would say things like "I will build you a flying *city*" and John would be all *_*

Don't worry about the trade, as soon as you can, even next year is fine! That way I don't feel pressured to finish your stuff... *that you haven't given me a prompt for...*

[looking4tarzan.livejournal.com]

Come on this is me *beam* of course I was going to comment!!

*nods* everytime, it's my special vision, I always see it

heheheheeh *grin* Cadman totally bought Rodney that phone to spite him

Yes John would be too amused by the hat

and um....yeah...the prompt *whistles*

[anna_luna]

*whistles some*

Could I interest you in the continued adventures of Laura and Ronon?

[looking4tarzan.livejournal.com]

*makes slight strangled noise*

*nods furiously*

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Eee, these are wonderful! :)

[anna_luna]

:) Thank you very, very much! I make them cuddle a lot and I adore it when people like their cuddling as well.

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

These are delightful! I love how you work the markers -- they look surprisingly subtle and delicate. I think my favorite is the first one -- the softness of the colors really suits the mood.

[anna_luna]

Thank you very much!

Markers are more difficult to manage than watercolors, mostly because you cannot water them down for shades, so you have many strong colors instead of the soft one I prefer when making watercolors. But the are so fast! You don't have to wait long for them to dry! You don't have to clean 10 brushes afterwards...

Anyway, I love the first one too, even if it is a little dirty because I just colored my original sketch and the markers kept rubbing the pencil wrong. It looks so soft though, and it fits the mood.

[perfica.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's gorgeous! You're right, the atmosphere was down at the end but I know John gained comfort from Rodney and this is them later, at a happier time.

Thank you so much! I'm really chuffed that I have fanart :-)

[anna_luna]

:) You're very welcome! I am so sorry or my lateness! I kept putting it off anf off... and then almos a year has passed!

[everysecondtues.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I love these, especially the first (which has this lovely soft feel with the style that totally fits the tone of the picture) and the last once, because steampunk! \o/ I especially love Rodney's hat in the last one.

[anna_luna]

:) Thank you, hon! I love the first one, it was just so easy to draw and it is exactly how I wanted it to be when I started drawing. I enjoyed putting Rodney in a hat! He'd be totally awesome! He'd totally build John a flying city!

[anna_luna]

Thank you very much! John is so private, that even a little bit of skin seems like a revelation. And he is totally *not* made to babysit, that ex-girlfriend who told him he was good with kids *was totally lying*!

[milenaa.livejournal.com]

These are lovely! I really adore the first one :)

[anna_luna]

:) Thank you! I have missed your art! But have been reasonably keeping up with posts.

[milenaa.livejournal.com]

Aww, I haven't been drawing nearly as much as I should. Not to mention I kind of got swallowed by bandom so it's all been band boys lately :)

[anna_luna]

:) You and me both...

I sort of fell into bandom myself... by accident (I was reading a web comic that turned out to be a bandom fancomic... but because I wouldn't have known bandom people if you hit me with them, I HAD NO IDEA AND THEN I WAS HOOKED). I think maybe there was a conspiracy... and you were involved! :)

I am still trying to get a feel for the boys (It is way harder to draw when they are real people, for some reason... also I keep confusing the time periods and hairs) and I at the MCR end of the spectrum and slowly branching out to other bands...

In the future, can I send you some sketches via email? to get some feedback?

*OMG, I am sure there was a fanish line I was not going to cross... but alas... I DID*

[milenaa.livejournal.com]

If there's one thing I learned in fandom, it's that I ALWAYS end up crossing my imaginary lines eventually :)

That it so awesome! I can't wait to see you doing bandom art :D
Of course you can e-mail me with anything.

Also, which webcomic? I only know thegaystarfish, which is completely amazing.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! Thank you! I love the steampunk boys so very very much and I've hada particularly crappy week, so this came at the perfect time.

Thank you again!

[anna_luna]

:) I am glad you like it! I am so sorry you had a bad week, but it is totally awesome that piece of my art makes it better!

I enjoyed drawing it very, very much!

[pionie.livejournal.com]

They're gorgeous. I love that John had to phone Rodney for help!

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

Oh <3 <3 <3 <3 those are so wonderful.

I so adore the boys asleep on the couch <3
