This one is for neth_dugan, who wanted "John actually IS an elf. For real. Not mini-elf like the ones who make cookies. But LotR type graceful elves (except, y'know, this is JOHN still)".
Medium: Markers on paper.
I went for fierce!elf!John instead of dorky!elf!John, I hope you like it!
The patterns on his clothing are great, they're elvish and like vines but not too much with not enough room. Is that ancient on his armband? I can't quite read it though but nice touch, took me a few to catch it.
But yeah, love it like all your stuff *bounces*
ETA: I think the first word is trust? No idea about the last two letters though.
:) I just knew you'd catch the ancient reference, it's supposed to say "trust your team" but it goes around his arm and didn't fit and I mangled the letters while inking.
I am glad you like the vines, John is an elf, but as you said, he's still *John*. I tried to play a little with that.
Thank you very much, it was a lovely prompt.
I just keep imagining the universe where John is Legolas and Rodney is a reluctant!Aragorn and Ronon and Teyla are hobbits...
Okay, now if I had another prompt I'd go and use that because THAT is an image. The wacky team that the other Elves shun cause not enough to work with a human (who, fair enough, is part elf and future King) but HOBBITS?!?!
Hmmmm, should try and maybe do something 'bout that, I can't draw well but I can kind of write.
And hey, I'm always a fan of using the ancient alphabet, and that's such a John thing to have wrapped around him. His team is his family and so on.
