.art: Hard Time Killing Floor - John/Rodney

[aesc]

So, like many of you I'm sure, That Scene from 5.11 is more or less lasered into my brain. The good thing about my brain is that it can edit out the stupid stupid really fucking annoying SciFi HD logo, but Photoshop takes more work. Still, caps from That Scene cry out to be used in some way, and once I got them (about four hours ago), I was helpless to do anything except sit here and Photoshop like a madwoman; this is merely the first of a couple of ideas I had as to what to do with them.


Source: This cap.








I'm not sure what the story is behind this thing, except that it's probably pretty rough. In my head, though, it ends very happily, with John being shirtless and sweaty with Rodney. Also, I would like to state for the record that I want very much to run a finger down the arc of John's right shoulder.

And hey, how about a couple of icons until I get the next collection ready to go?

Aw, thank you! :)

You sure know how to pack a lot of emotion into on picture. It's beautiful and harrowing both.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much! I like thinking about what might be going on there... I have general ideas, but nothing solid :)

Oh my gosh, Rodney looks so adorably miserable! It's like he's seeing half-naked John and assuming he'll never get to touch... *sniffles in sympathy* (great art! Your stuff is always so evocative)

Thank you kindly! Poor boys!

Oh, wow.

♥!

Painted in blood.

[bellewhan.livejournal.com]

There’s an awful lot going on in there. The blood is omnipresent. And the twisted McKay looking on almost reproachfully. It’s funny really, I almost expect to see a bare machete blade arced behind Sheppard’s neck.

Huh, sorry, I kinda read into things sometimes. Amazing picture.

Heee, thank you! It is very open as to what's going on... I say read in all you like! :)

Thank you kindly!

This is stunning! (And I love the b/w combination. It works really well with this cap!)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This definitely felt like a b&w piece to me... I tried it in color first, and just thought, no, this needs darkness :)

Very, very, very pretty John. I think I would have problems keeping my fingers just on his shoulders. *coughs* Um, yes, very nicely done.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, I totally would, too :D

When it's over, finally, there is nothing left but the sound of his own breathing. Nothing else -- not even strength to move.

So he breathes, and listens, and eventually finds himself on his feet once more.

And so he leaves. Heads for home.

For Rodney.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT!!! And yes, this could definitely definitely happen!

[raiining.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmm....


*licks*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Heeee, you don't know where that shoulder's been :D

[artemis-prime.livejournal.com]

Awesome work! Love that you used b/w and the pained expression. So full of angsty love :) Can definitely see a fic out of this...perhaps an AU or Atlantis has fallen or...something. Just great work.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yes, I would not mind a story like that at ALL :D

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Oh, John. *aches*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly! :)

[d_odyssey.livejournal.com]

Your art is amazing. Great expressions on John and Rodney - the pain and worry are evident. The background and black and white coloring present a powerful image. The icons are wonderful, too. Thank you.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Oh, John :">

[mapleshy.livejournal.com]

*Gulp* this is a wonderful picture, full of so much angst and just.... beautiful.
