Day 5 - Organic

Sat, 25 May 2019 08:15:35 GMT

I've often wondered if organic ice-cream is worth the extra coin, anyone ever tried it? This one sounds interesting.

Digital Drawing - Rodney McKay - Stargate Atlantis

I started this drawing in April and have tweaked with it here and there for a while now. I've decided to leave as is so figured I'd post it.

Day 4 - Animal

Fri, 24 May 2019 14:13:01 GMT

I've been looking and snapping ever since I started this MEME but haven't had much of a chance to post lately. I have all but 3 prompts covered now so I should (fingers crossed) finish this over the next few days.

Digital Drawing - Jim Ellison - The Sentinel

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 13:02:34 GMT

I fancied having a go at digital art so I bought myself a pencil to use on my tablet. It's gonna take some practise because I'm quite heavy handed and the harder you press the darker it goes, I tried to be gentle but as you can see I wasn't always successful; going forwards I'll make a note of the nib size too because on reflection I can see how important that is. I really need to work on my shading but I'm quite happy with my first attempt so I'm posting it here.

I used one of my favourite screen caps from the pilot and attempted to copy it. I can recognise it's Jim so YAY!

Day 3 - Circle

Sat, 16 Mar 2019 18:10:36 GMT

I know this isn’t a traditional entry for this prompt but I really liked how the tree stumps were arranged in a circular fashion. This was taken in colour originally but I found it looked more effective in BW so I changed it.

How to make a zipper look interesting, hmm, think I failed here.

Day 1 - Sculpture

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 19:26:34 GMT

This shot was taken last year in Norfolk. It was one of the few places we found were you could take your dog for a walk.

I’m posting this off my phone so if the image is overpowering I do apologise. I’ve not uploaded via this method before and have no idea what I’m doing.

Bingo Prompt - Isolation/Loneliness

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 18:16:07 GMT

My first post for 2019!

I thought this episode was a good fit for the prompt. I adore all the episode tags/missing scenes this episode inspired.

Bingo Entries

Wed, 07 Nov 2018 09:18:15 GMT

I've uploaded some entries on my second bingo card today. I've done quite a few at once so rather than spam your inboxes I thought I'd do a single post here and link to the CARD for those interested in seeing them.

SGA Reverse Bang 2018

Sat, 03 Nov 2018 08:27:55 GMT

I decided to keep the image simple so I didn't restrict the author and was very excited when melagan claimed it as I really like their work.

Please check out the story Theory of Sheppards because I'm sure it'll be a great read! The author has rated it teen upwards and a John/Rodney pairing.

The story will be going live shortly.

Sentinel Bingo - NEW CARD

Sat, 21 Jul 2018 08:34:25 GMT

I've signed up for another card with Sentinel Bingo. As before I hope to get at least a line (or two) in by the end of this round, a full house would be great but we'll see how I get on.

Sentinel Bingo - Spare Parts

Sun, 15 Jul 2018 12:45:21 GMT

There's some nice interaction between Blair and Naomi in this episode. I was drawn to this particular scene because it's a prime example of a mother who wants to protect her child, and a child who wants to stand on their own two feet and have their decision respected. I love it when Blair uses her own words against her as she reluctantly gives in and storms out of the room.

This completes my bingo card too so YAY!

Sentinel Bingo - Neighborhood Watch

Sun, 15 Jul 2018 12:19:36 GMT

Instead of focusing on Jim, Blair and/or Megan in this piece I thought I'd try for a more episodic feel.

Sentinel Bingo - Night Shift

Sat, 14 Jul 2018 08:33:49 GMT

Such a powerful episode and so many great scenes to work with. Initially, I was going to do a piece that highlighted the anguish between Jim and Blair but as I was looking through the screen caps this scene called out to me, so I went with it instead. As I'm a little torn as to which one I prefer the most I decided to post a colour and bw version.

Sentinel Bingo - Sweet Science

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 23:30:05 GMT

I decided to go with the theme from the episode rather than making an episodic piece for this prompt.

As much as I wanted to make a wall for this piece I thought a gif would be more appropriate.

Sentinel Bingo - Hotel

Sun, 20 May 2018 10:14:29 GMT

I've spent so much time looking for the right Jim and Blair for this prompt that I'm actually fed up with it, so I'm posting this version even though I'm not overly fond of it. Sigh.
