.art: Escape Velocity (a comic/collage in 5 pages from Vegas!verse)

Escape Velocity (PG; John-centric gen)
by dogeared and aesc

Hurrah, done! This is our artword submission for the Astronomy Challenge, inspired by this photo from the Apollo 17 mission. I had been wanting to do another comic for quite some time now, and dogeared, awesome as always, provides some beautiful words to work with, very happily looked over my shoulder and cheered me on. Sine qua non ♥

DANGER ALERT: This is set before 5.19 "Vegas," and contains spoilers for the episode, so if you haven't seen it and don't want to be spoiled, do not pass the LJ cut. Also, if you have a difficult time with scruffy, disheveled John, you may want to double-check your heart medication.

This is so gorgeous and amazing and heartbreaking!

Oh, John. I just want to give him milk, cookies, and the Pegasus galaxy. Absolutely gorgeous artwork, and I love the sparseness of the prose - seems fitting for the character, who wasn't exactly chatty. Also, I loved how he was just drawn to the stars, like his soul knew his destiny, even if he'd gotten lost along the way. Breathtaking artwork, heartbreaking story. Just lovely.
