[Dellruby]

Thank you, Dellruby... I think I need glasses lol I didn't see that at all!

you are welcome, just glad I could help!

All those unsigned art works so far are stunning. I'm really enjoying this challenge.
It should be a once a month thing or maybe once every 2 months just to remind us what we can do when no one is looking.

Newest entry for the challenge


This time we have fan fic!!!
a SGA ficlet.

Spoiler:

Not surprisingly, Elizabeth Weir was still working when John Sheppard walked in.

“Hey,” he greeted, leaning against the door frame.

She looked up, a glimmer of a smile flashing across her face as she replied. “Hey yourself,” she said, immediately bowing her head again.

“You had dinner yet?”

“Do I ever?”

John exhaled. “No, usually not. Which is probably the reason that Carson has resorted to sending me memos about your health.”

Elizabeth sighed. “I know he’s only looking out for my best interests, but I’m fine. By the time I’m done going through mission reports and status reports, it’s all I can do to drag myself to quarters and pass out.”

John nodded, almost ready to concede the point, until he noticed a silver tumbler on her desk. Steam was escaping, almost imperceptibly, through the spout.

He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his black uniform pants. “Seeing as how that’s probably your fifth cup of coffee today, something tells me that you’re not gonna hit the sack any time soon.”

Elizabeth shut her eyes, then closed her laptop and looked back at John. “What do you want, John?”

“Honestly, I want you to keep your job. And by that, I mean you doing this and not me because you’re not taking any breaks.”

Elizabeth leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. “I took a break this evening. Ask Chuck.”

“Bathrooms breaks don’t count.”

Elizabeth grunted.

“I just want you to come out to the balcony for five minutes, and then you can work until your hands fall off.”

She gave him a suspicious glare. “For what?”

“No questions, just come with me for a few minutes. That's all I ask."

Elizabeth frowned. "Five minutes."

"Not a second more."

She got up and followed him out, walking behind Chuck's station towards the sliding doors.

When they got there, she was surprised that they weren't alone.

Rodney McKay, Teyla, Carson, and even Ronon stood on the balcony. When they heard the doors open, they turned slightly to face them. Teyla smiled. "I'm glad that you were able to make it, Elizabeth."

She smiled awkwardly. "Made it for what?"

Behind her, John leaned his head inside. "Hit it, Chuck."

A question formed in her mind as the door shut behind them but was silenced as the reflection of the city's lights on the water began to dim.

John tapped his earpiece. "Looks good, Chuck. Sheppard out."

"All right, what's going on?" Elizabeth finally asked, looking at every person standing next to her for an answer.

McKay spoke up. "So earlier today, I was doing a calibration on the long range sensors and I noticed a large debris cloud that intersected with the planet's orbit. Probably left over from a destroyed asteroid or a comet or maybe even a small moon. You know, it's actually interesting--"

"McKay," John hissed through grated teeth.

McKay gave him his patented glare, then looked back at Elizabeth. "The debris cloud should be coming in contact with the atmosphere ... now."

The sky suddenly flashed.

Elizabeth stared at the sky, making her way to the railing. A fireball streamed across the sky, followed by three smaller ones that quickly burnt out. The sky seemed to fizzle as the dust made contact with the outer atmosphere, looking like a golden wave. Shooting stars flooded the night sky.

She gasped. "This is amazing," she murmured, more to herself than anyone.

John's voice suddenly whispered in her ear. "Worth leaving your office for more than five minutes?"

"Yes," she immediately replied before narrowing her eyes. "You said five minutes, no longer."

"Children, stop bickering and enjoy the bloody show," Carson whispered sharply, effectively shutting them up.

For five seconds.

"Yes, Dad."

Elizabeth punched him in the arm.

I will be extending the challenge for a few days at least, I have a few more entries so if you have not entered.....you have time!!!

[Dellruby]

Entry "A"


Entry "B"



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to keep the challenges on a schedule so I will go ahead and post the new challenge now so you will have the full week to work on it!

Challenge #25
Entries due to me by 6AM your time Monday March 31st.

This week we're going to get back to more technical work. Make a pair of opposites. Make two sigs, or icons, but make them opposite. One could be color, the other black and white. One could be happy, the other angry. One could be facing left, the other facing right. Whatever 'opposite' means to you.

Fanfic writers, in your story just make sure you showcase 'opposite'. Half of the story could be angry, the other happy, etc. However you want to incorporate "opposite" in your story. Keep in short if possible, under 1000 words.

Damn I need Soho!

Time for the big reveal in the "learn to love your artwork" challenge! There were SO many comments, they are all in spoilers. And if I missed your comment, please forgive me. I was monitoring 8 threads and I did the best I could.

I hope this shows everyone that even if no one actually says anything, we all do admire and appreciate all the hard work and effort that goes into artwork/writing. Remember that next time you want to say "ugh! my artwork/fan fic is terrible!"

Nice to see some OUAT ideas!
Great atmosphere to the background, and the positioning of the moon gives a balance between the 2 versions of Ruby. Personally, I would have added some words, something extra to tie the two togeather, but that is merely a personal preference and not a real critique of the picture as it stands. 2 thumbs up!!

This sig is beautiful! I love that we see the moon peeking out between the trees as apposed to seeing the whole moon. And wolves are always awesome. Not sure who the woman is though, sorry.

Oh, wow! That really is amazing! So powerful yet vulnerable. Red looks as if she's calling to the wolf.

"Seamless composition. Fine use of dark/light balance. Lovely theme."

Nice, love the colours.

Ok, I know I've already commented, but I can't get this out of my head.

The wolf is telling me stories, so the art is speaking to me.
I like it

I like how the images realistically blend together and really illustrate a story.

I love wolves! The background is beautiful, with the moonlight shining through the trees, and gives the sig an almost spooky look.

The quality is great, but what I love about it though is that the Wolf seems to be the focal point... even for Ruby/Red.

I love the sig! Great atmosphere, very mysterious, like a good Grimm fairy-tale.

Interesting.....
Kind of scary with the misty background, howling wolf and full moon.
The combination of all the different elements is very good.

This is very well done, I like it!

It has a soulful/haunted look which is cool. I do notice some branches behind the moon but other than that good composition

Very atmospheric. I like the remote, otherworldly quality.

I love how flawlessly all the pictures are intertwined. I can never make pictures fade/meld together well like that. I might want to pick this person's brain afterwards.

Entry no 2

Very pretty. I like the contrast of texture between Shep and the pebbles on a beach. Bit of a metaphor perhaps?!

I love that it looks like Shep's attention is turning toward the observer. I like the contrast of the white stones, the warm tones of Shep and the red brush strokes that were added.

That new set of artwork is very pretty, by the way! Love the use of white and red to contrast with John's penchant for wearing black.

I like it too. John looks so mad... It's actually kinda hot.

I like it, it has a deep feeling to it. Maybe like there is something beneath the pebbles and maybe Sheppy is hiding something

Wow, beautiful set!
It has my favorite Sheppard expressions in it: so very, very dangerous!
Love the stony background too.

The contrast of the muted tones of Shepp and the stones with the small splash of red is sort of understated drama.

It's almost as if the bit of red is what tells him that he's being "watched" by the observer and he's not sure if he likes it.

Very nice. Particularly love the use of brushes. And the background pic (rocks), I think, goes well. And I love that the (Sheppard) pics are positioned away from the cirlce (brush?), leaving to stand on it's own. It works!

Oooh, pretty. I like the 3 pictures being in a series, in the way he turns his head around.

OMG! Shep is staring right at me in that last picture!
I like the different contrasts and textures and colours used, they go very good together.
The three expressions.... the look to kill....
I Love It!

I love the way the pics show how the character is moving! And the swirly grey brushes across the bottom of the pictures help blend the pics into the rest of the art.

I am having issues with this pic, not because it is bad, cause it isn't, but because I am personally far more interested in the background rather than the foreground.
When I see that circle and the "splash" in it, I am mentally more drawn to a more "transformative" aspects of the idea, and think more about stuff where John turns into a bug, or stuff from Vegas where it's not exactly "our John" and I sort of expect to see a "non-John, John"
I know, I know, too much metaphysics, but that's just the way my brain works.

#2
Perfect blend of light colors in the background, and dark in the front. Attention is immediately drawn to Sheppard. I also LOVE the image used for the background, it really sets the mood.
