You can laugh. I do the same when I saw these drawings. Especially Sheppard.lol
And don't ask me why there is Sam (if you recognize her) in it. I don't know.lol
And Sam is very recognizable
No worries...

Excellent and very entertaining report. And no, things don't look that great for SGU.
I haven't bought either of them, but I found a copy of Angelus in the bookstore and I sat down on the floor and skimmed through every. single. page. of that book looking for Elizabeth's name. About halfway through when Elizabeth had only been mentioned once (even though Carter has only been in charge for three weeks) I considered just giving up (I mean, come on, the entire plot revolves around Replicators, but we can't mention the former leader who was half Replicator and then captured?!), but I kept at it and my persistence was eventually rewarded.
Spoiler:Basic plot: Ellis and the Apollo pick up this guy who claims to be an Ancient. He's convincing and they take him back to Atlantis where he tells them his story, inspires sympathy, gains trust, etc. Long story short he's not what he seems and creates some kind of hybrid Replicator virus thingy that threatens to destroy the city. Moving on.
Finally in the latter half of the book they brought her up more. Finally. The first time she got a decent mention (meaning, more than just her name in passing) was a very nice scene where Carter and Sheppard are walking down the hallway, and Sam looks at John and realizes how difficult the situation must be for him because he was closer to Elizabeth than anyone else. And then it goes into how she sacrificed herself and what happened to her. So when I read that I was placated (and the first decent scene is a Sparky one! woohoo! bonus points!). Cause I was getting a little upset with that book at that point.
And then in the climax John and Angelus are facing off, and Angelus is taunting him about how he used Elizabeth's memories to get in the city, and John thinks about how Elizabeth shouldn't be used that way and then that spurs him on to defeat the bad guy. Yay!
So there were two moments that I counted as Sparky. Maybe the plot was decent, I don't really know. (Frankly there seemed to be a bit too much of Colonel Ellis in it for my taste.) Again I don't really know if it's worth to read the whole book just for those small moments (even though admittedly they were good moments). I gathered from my skimmings that things really didn't get going until the last half of the book (*cough*when they mentioned Elizabeth*cough*), but that is by no means an accurate assumption and probably stems from my severe bias where Elizabeth is concerned.
So I'll leave that decision up to you.

I'll find time to play, but I won't be able to play as much since I work swing shift. Like the Brad Paisley song, 7 to 3, 3 to 11, and 11 to 7. Hopefully we can get our four on (12 hours) and four days off back soon.
I just rewatched Echoes and parts of Submersion while I was working out. That made my workout much better.
I'm am shooting to watch Sunday either today or tomorrow so I can FINALLY pick up the recaps again. I've been way too much a slacker.Visit SGArising.com to read our virtual continuation of the Atlantis series!

Congrats on the job! Starting something new is always trying, but I'm sure you'll quickly get into the swing of things. Good luck!

My novels is near to my home. I have to wait one day and I will have them.
Eri13: I can't wait to see your recaps.
Thanks everyone for the comment on my drawings. My next drawing (after the Simpsons for my little niece) will be a Sparky one. I will try to draw them but I need a pic. A promo pic and an easy one. If you are interested to a pic, let me know and I will choose this.sigpic
Sig made by nephty and avi by Kris....THANK YOU!

I couldn't find anywhere online that wanted to ship them here, so now I can only buy them every time I go to New York...

And it's one of the few things I can draw... if I have an example...
Anyway, on the good Sparky promo pic... my fav is obviously the one in casual clothes
I'll try to find a bigger version and post it here...Last edited by KrisRussel; 28 July 2009, 10:30 AM.

I order them on the net. My novels are from a small town near Paris (North). I live near Lyon (East/south). I think I will jump on the man who will bring my novels tomorrow because I'm excited to receive them.lol
And for the Simpson. I can post it when I will finish if you want. It's not Sparky but there is a link with Stargate. Simpsons=O'Neill.
And I wait the Sparky pic.sigpic

Or maybe we're just both crazy
Originally posted by Probie View PostI want my novels I will have them tomorrow maybe. For the moment, they are on the north of the France and I am on the south. (Yes I follow them.lol)
And Probie, your new drawings are lovely!(This is legal notice that any attempt to censor or delete, for the purpose of oppressing fair and open discussion, any statement made by me will be considered a violation of my right to free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and will be dealt with in accordance with federal law.)
Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

And I wait the Sparky pic.
For the Sparky pic, this is my suggestion:
Of course, there's also this one, the wider shot:
And this one has to be one of my fav 'they're mirroring' ones. Ok, the rest of the gang is on there too, but if you just want to draw Sparky, you can easily filter Liz and John out:
Hope this will give you enough inspiration
