Some grumbling and more paintedspires recs

[ileliberte]

I don't really see the point in producing fanwork for a show if you have no regard for it whatsoever. I make a lot of fun of SGA at times, but it's based in some fondness and having starting from a position of love, I believe, gives a lot of slack to any follow up disillusionment and/or criticism, whoever it comes from and whatever shape it takes. Believing that everyone in the show is stupid except one or two and that the whole execution is crap just makes me think that all that outpouring of distaste about it is really not worth the energy, and any fanwork from that source is sort of...pointless. Also, slagging off Teyla like that... I really needed a warning before venturing there.

Anyway, happier things. More paintedspires recs:

Must see One of the coolest, most gorgeous pieces to come out of paintedspires- Seasons in Atlantis by _phoon_. Prompt: Art Nouveau
Really truly art nouveau, Mucha would have been proud. Not only do they look like themselves, the borders, the coloring, the items with the portraits, my god, they're absolutely fantastic. It doesn't matter whether you don't know what stargate atlantis is, go see this.

Sheppard flying a Steampunk!Puddlejumper by ratcreature Prompt:Victorian steampunk AU
Very cool picture, the machine construction is excellent, the coloring works really nicely and Sheppard's so gleeful :D

'T Was Brillig by crysothemis Prompt:John fights the Jabberwock with his vorpal sword
Wonderful work, the composition is excellent, and the muted coloring works really well for the setting. The Jabberwocky is imaginatively designed and John looks immensely hot.
