FANART - 'Enchanted Atlantis' for paintedspires challenge
Title: Enchanted Atlantis
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Artist: le_mot_mo
Rating: G
Prompt: John and Rodney in Enchanted by Disney.
Medium: digital drawing + graphic
Character(s) and/or Pairing(s): John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Notes: I have spent hours and hours working on this piece. Gazillions of Photoshop layers were used and abused. In the end I had a movie-poster for 'Enchanted' John/Rodney style-- completely AU. Enjoy! :o)
Preview:
I must have been completely batshit insane when I claimed this prompt for the
paintespires challenge. I had this idea of using my new Wacom tablet to create a movie-poster, McKay/Sheppard style, for the movie 'Enchanted' for a while now, but when I saw the prompt I decided that it was fate and went for it. :o) I wanted to blend reality and animation together, which meant that I had to create animated John, Atlantis, Stargate and background. The right side is completely animated while the left side of the piece is made with real pictures.It was a true labour of love for me, so therefore I offer you a few bonus pieces of this artwork: :o)
First-- 115 Photoshop layers to create John Sheppard, Disney hero and prince of Atlantis, destined to fall in love with Rodney. I spent hours studying and drawing male Disney characters, just to get a better image of what John would have to look like. This was the final result:
Second-- 98 Photoshop layers to create an animated Atlantis as a background for Prince John.
As for the rest of the poster...
Third-- 103 Photoshop layers to create half an animated stargate.
Fourth-- 16 Photoshop layers to create John's animated hand draped over Rodney's shoulder.
Fifth-- 60 Photoshop layers to create the overall poster. The right half is animated, the left half is real, save John's hand on Rodney's shoulder. In this phase I also blended all the real and animated images together. Then I added the background and text.
You know what would make me happy now? If someone would actually write the story to go with this poster. I would do it myself if I had the time, but these days I don't have a lot of free time, so yeah...
