Art: SGA, Superhero AU for the team_sga fest

[ileliberte]

For the team_sga Team AU Fest, based on a prompt by cat_77: By day, they are cut-throat investment brokers, by night, either vigilantes or just plain dorky drunks. I went with "business(wo)men by day, superheroes by night" :)
Full list of inspirations/complete lifts for the superheroes under the cut

Rating: G








Teyla is based on Liberty Belle (with the Liberty bell a little altered to fit her :))
John is based on Starman
Ronon is based on Roy Harper (Arsenal)
Rodney is based on Brainiac 5. Since he's not actually a green alien, he gets to have a mask and keep his own hair :)



Many thanks to miss_porcupine (and kerithwyn for John) for all the ideas about what superheroes the team would be :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh, that's fantastic!

Have I told you recently that you're made of win?

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! The prompt and superhero ideas were not mine, but I'm glad you liked the final product so much :D ♥

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. This is just perfect - very nice contrast between two pictures, and their cute little superhero smirks! AWESOME. ♥♥

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I was fretting about thinking up superhero poses, but then it occured to me that it would probably be even more fun if it was almost the same as their more serious personas but with a twist :D

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

the investment brokers are insanely attractive.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm rather partial to that incarnation myself :D Glad you liked it!

[elayna88.livejournal.com]

These are fabulous!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

Hee! I love how they are all just a wee bit smirky as superheroes.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked that :) I figured I would be smirky too if people thought that a nose-to-the-grindstone businesswoman was all I was :D

[ladyjax.livejournal.com]

So cool! I love it.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[friendshipper.livejournal.com]

eeeee they're adorable. :D (And the art is fantastic!)

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :D

[liviapenn.livejournal.com]

Eee hee hee hee hee, man, John is SO STARMAN it's not even funny. I love this! :D Nice job.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm just relieved I had someone telling me what the possibilities were, because my knowledge of comics is kind of really lacking. Glad you liked this :D

[ratcreature]

These are awesome. I especially love Ronon as Arsenal, but John as Starman is also great.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Heh, when I was searching for costume references for Arsenal, your picture was one that popped up on Google images, I figured you might be interested in this :D Glad you liked it!

[neevebrody.livejournal.com]

Oh this is wonderful! I love the similarities and contrasts between the two and the colors are fabulous. Love their expressions, too.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :) I was wondering what poses to choose for the superhero bit, then I figured a contrast and compare would probably work really well here :D Glad you liked it!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

I like the matched poses and the b&w - colour combination. They all look gorgeous as the serious investment brokers (Ronon is rocking that look!) and like they are enjoying being superheroes. I see John somehow avoided the lycra suit and found himself a casual superhero outfit *g*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Heh, I'm rather fond of them in their serious suited avatars as well :D

[machinistm.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! And it cracks me up so much that John wears a polo shirt as his superhero outfit, hee!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Heh, but it fits him so well, doesn't it? :D Glad you liked it!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Very cool. I really like the subtle change in all their facial expressions—the quirk of the mouth. I love investment broker John. :)

[leesa_perrie]

Totally cool!! Love how one is b/w and the other colour - like at night time they come alive!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I was thinking! Glad you liked it :)

[siria]

Oh my god, this is made of win! And I can't get over how hot Ronon is, in both incarnations. *stares*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I like the idea of Ronon in suits...well, ok, I like the idea of Ronon in pretty much anything. Glad you enjoyed it :D

[tielan]

Made of awesome.

MADE OF AWESOME.

Love their poses and expressions as investment brokers - they're so "do not fuck with us"...and then their superhero alter-egos! *loves*

Plus, I adore that John's managed to avoid the coloured spandex look entirely and gone for something that looks very street-casual!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! John in spandex just seemed like...well, like he would rather not be a superhero at all than not be able to lounge about and lean on things in comfortable casual clothing :D

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Bwahh! This is made of awesome!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun drawing it :D

[goss.livejournal.com]

Hee! I love Ronon in the shades and business suit best! :D

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Ronon pretty much rocks every look, doesn't he? Glad you liked it :D

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

Grinning like a lunatic here! Thank you!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Glad you liked it :D

[cat-77.livejournal.com]

Hee! Oh so awesome! Love the sort of before/after shot and how they all still have attitude. Awesome!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to draw :D

[maychorian.livejournal.com]

This is utterly delightful. I love the subtle differences in their expressions between day and night. Obviously much happier and snarkier as superheroes. ♥

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the little changes in expression worked for you, I figured after a day of being grim and serious, the superhero gig would be a fun one :D

[busaikko]

These are awesome! I can't even say which I love the best, they're both so full of win!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :D

[korilian.livejournal.com]

Heee! Fantastic! I'd actually expect John to consider that little black suite proper superhero fashion :).

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! Yes, I do believe John would rather not be a superhero than not be able to wear comfortable clothing that can be lounged around and leaned on things in :D

[sage]

*adores*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you!

[ozsaur.livejournal.com]

I love the contrasts - they look like they want to kick ass as investment brokers, but go out and party as superheroes. I also love that one is b & w and the other is so colorful. Both are gorgeous!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the contrast works for you, I kept fretting about how exactly to show the differences between their separate personas and figured expressions as well as colors would be important :)
