Announcing the first annual fanfic art show. We are fortunate enough to have two new pieces on display by the talented bruinsfan.
Drawn for Tanlines & Dogtags (a Stargate Atlantis story where a straight Major Lorne takes nude pictures of his gay commander) we have bruinsfan's "snapshots" of Lorne taken by Sheppard.
Ebony pencil on sketchpad with delicious use of sculpting shadows, with John's appreciation of the male form and a comic sensibility. In the first image we learn later in the story that John cut the top of Lorne's head off in his snapshot. *cough* Have a look at what's dead center of the frame and you can see why.
The second image is also ebony on sketchpad, with bruinsfan's sensitive use of light on the water. Here bruinsfan sacrifices phot realism to perfectly capture the mood of the scene and Lorne's relaxed masculinity -- right before John steals the sunglasses off his face.
