Description

Sheer silliness :)

Stargate Atlantis fanart - Rodney McKay (looking annoyed in the backgound at having to come to the rescue) and John Sheppard (in front, wondering why this sort of thing always happens to him)

For an end of year challenge using the title of a Harlequin Romance as a starting point . My prompt was "The Desert Bride of Al Zayed" This, of course, is the wacky Pegasus galaxy hijinks version of the prompt.

From an artist merit perspective (er - what artistic merit?) - this was a chance to go wild with colour, to actually paint an entire scene that (hopefully) conveys a story, a chance to do a less realistic style.

Reference used for the faces and then many different reference photos looked at for ideas on all the other elements (eg the design of the moroccan lights).

John was a challenge to draw, since I didn't have a body reference for him (shirtless and in that pose). Beta (particularly of John) by Ileliberte and Talietha.
