Art: SGA, John/Teyla, Kissing in the Rain, PG-13

[ileliberte]

Hey, remember when I used to draw SGA? And that time I posted the kissing meme? Here's one more after that one single thing a long time ago XD
The picture is based on this image provided by tielan

Rating: PG-13 for kissing in the rain maybe?
Pairing: John/Teyla




ETA: The rain is very definitely not hand drawn (I tried it that way, it drove me to tears, let's leave it at that). If anyone's interested, I followed this tutorial, but with some variations i.e. they're not set to a "screen" blending and there are a few layers with various opacities and a gradient background instead of a render clouds one.


P.S: Hey, pointy ears! I see more than one point of similarity in my love for my older and newer fandoms :D

Lovely!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[harriet-spy.livejournal.com]

I like the dreamy mood here.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's sort of why I liked the original too, but I wanted to make it even more muted in mine. Glad you liked it :)

[ratcreature]

Aww, they look sweet together.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[tielan]

Pointy ears and a woman of colour...imagine that. :D

Love it - for all the reasons others have already cited. And because I asked for it and you drew it! *smooches*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

XD yeah, the characters obviously differ a lot, but the very broad basics seem to repeated...

You're totally welcome, I meant to do it a long while back but Star trek kind of took over my brain. I'm glad you liked it :D

[tielan]

Well, I still hold a fondness for Teyla in SGA, but I do love Uhura, too, and Uhura/Spock, and Uhura/Spock/Kirk so...draw away!

[toliver.livejournal.com]

Just beautiful, pointy ears and all!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :) John's ears definitely make it easy to make him recognizable :D

[2bluaeryn.livejournal.com]

YES, YES, YES!

Love the rain itis as if you can feel it on your skin. Love Atlantis in the background and how they are holding each other.

Can relate to the pointy ears and the new fandom love.

*wink*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it :) Oh, tell me about it, the new fandom's just taken voer my brain. It felt so weird drawing SGA again after being so immersed in Star trek :D

[heather.livejournal.com]

Oh that's so beautiful! <3

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[marthawells.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's really gorgeous! And I needed to see something good this morning, too.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad to have made your morning a little brighter, I hope your day unfolds a lot better than you were expecting ♥

[mahoni.livejournal.com]

WOW, that's gorgeous.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[chkc.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is so pretty! I really like the way the water reflects off their skin/clothes.

*tries to figure out whether the rain is noise filter + motion blur*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the reflections, I wanted to make it more muted than the original but wasn't sure how well it portrayed water.

Yep, got it right in one :) I added an eta with a link to the tutorial I got the idea from if you're interested, but since you seem to already know what it is, it's probably not that relevant for you. When used in moderation, Photoshop filters can make life very easy sometimes :D

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

I miss SGA. And this is gorgeous - beautiful job using muted tones.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :) It felt kind of strange drawing SGA again, I'd been so immersed in Star trek, but I'm definitely not done with our team yet :D

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Awww...I like how her hair is waves up cuz it's wet.

And, omg, kissing in the rain? Tielan's prompts are no joke when it comes to difficulty level.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

And yeah, she doesn't like the easy ones, does she? :D

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Very nice.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[madjm.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is just beautiful! It almost makes me want to write some SGA fic. :)

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :) It felt like so long since I drew SGA, but it was fun to do.

[beth-soprano.livejournal.com]

Ah, this is beautiful. ♥

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[monkey-junkey.livejournal.com]

This is great, I love how the city is a silhouette in the background.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the city wasn't too intrusive, I wanted it to be there but i didn't want it to take away from the main event either and backgrounds are usually the hardest part for me in pictures like this :)

[rhianona]

lovely pic!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

That's really pretty. I like how quiet and intimate the scene is.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the quietness, I really liked the original I used as a reference but I wanted it to be a bit more muted for these two.

[calcitrix.livejournal.com]

Oooh, very nice. I always love your lines, and however you color or shade ends up looking great for the piece.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much! I've gotten so much more of a sense of color and shading after I started working digitally. Sometimes I miss pencils or pens, but the final product is usually so much better with the tablet. I'm glad you liked this :)

[ninja007.livejournal.com]

Very lovely and one of my favorite pairs!!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yes, one of my favorite pairs too :)

[jeyla4ever.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! I love the rain, I love the way they are holding each other...tender, lovingly, almost forbiddenly. Thanks!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm glad you liked it :)

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

just lovely! I like the almost-restrained passion (the grip of John's hands) and tenderness (the way their faces fit together) of it...

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Where to put people's hands is usually a bigger worry for me than where to put their faces :D I'm glad you liked the way I made them fit :)
