John Sheppard: Assassin

I've finished my first [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires entry last night and here is the result. It's a poster for a would-be-story about the Assassin John Sheppard having to kill famous golfer Rodney McKay. Wether or not they get to know each other or what happens. I will leave that to you imagination.

The prompt was supposed to be John-centric, guns and golf. There are no spoilers.

Oh, wow, Elli, that's fantastic! You've created a whole other universe in this poster.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That was the idea. I wanted it to tell a story. Now I just need someone to write it ;)

ps: watch SCC!!!!

Oh yum. My heart's all pitter patter with the John/gun scenarios.

Nice! I really like the splashes of color.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a lot more colorful in the beginning but lacked tension. So thank you :)

[identity profile] tmz-cori.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Really really wow. That is very very beautiful!

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank youuu!!! <3Oh sleepless nights, but so worth it.

I am childishly amused by the emphasis on 'ass' because when trying to kill ROdney McKay, well...

The poster is great, I love the splashes of color and the drawn in flag. Also, the stray bullet in the upper portion. Though I must ask, is that a big damn spider on the barrel of the gun? Is it bleeding? (I ask only because I want to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I childishly did that on purpose! *cough*

And well, there is a spider and there is blood but the spider isn't supposed to be bleeding. It's just to show danger.

Thanks fr the feedback!

Oh Elli, this is so freaking awesome! :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm very glad you like it :O *grins*

[identity profile] amberlynne.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is awesome. I love the darkness with the little bursts of color. And those bullets are wicked. Plus, that pic of Joe down there at the bottom is one of my favorites ever. Personally, I think poor John the assassin falls in love and they live happily ever after, thank you very much. ;)

Amazing stuff!

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs*

I'm kind of hoping for a happy ending myself. There could be lots of turmoil and hot sex and mistaken identities and angst because of course John doesn't want Rodney to know what he is, but cannot tell the Boss (Sumner maybe) why getting the job done is taking so long!

And The almost all grey was a last minute decision.... Before that, the two Johns in the middle where colored and it doesn't seem half as cool and exciting.

And I love that pic as well even though he looks a bit like a playboy.

Oh wow! This is SO freakin awesome! I'm totally in love with this! :D And the typo is doing all sorts of things to me. ♥

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying out certain styles to improve myself. I so this chopped lines thing on a poster and felt it's so cool. I had to incorperate it!

And dude, I'm such a typo freak!!!! <3

OMG there are not enough OMGs in the world for this, it's that cool. *gazes worshipfully*

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Very happy you like it.... especially because.in a very abstract sense, you inspired the composition.

Thank you :)

You kill me with your gorgeous graphics. Seriously, SCC was fantastic, but this one's mindblowing.

And John won't kill Rodney,'cause he's in lurve, but will fake both of their deaths and they'll live happily ever after.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
*wibblesmadly*

And totally. I agree about that and in the end Rodney will forgive John for lying to him and they will go after the guy who hired John in the first place.

Oh, so cool. I love the distant perspective, the color shift, adn the touch of surrealness in the golf scene. Great sense of movement, great storytelling. A whole universe opens up. OH, AND IT'S GORGEOUS.

HOLY CRAP. That's STUNNING. Man it's absurdly professional looking, and.. um... maybe makes we want to throw my entry out and start over. I LOVE IT.

Very cool poster! If there's one way to inspire fic, this is it XDXD.

Thanks babe!!!!!!!! <3 I can only return the sentiment!

[identity profile] renisanz.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Very cool. I love the little splashed of color around the central image, the textures you used. The bullets flying off are a nice little detail. This is so great. Thanks.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-25 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you like it.

[identity profile] gaffsie.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That is seriously cool. I love how all its different parts come together to make a delicious whole.

Thanks!

[identity profile] crysothemis.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, that's lovely and kind of heartbreaking. I love the splashes of color, John-as-gun, the bullets, and the whole composition. Really nice work.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-25 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks... and it doesn't have to be heartbreaking. I'm hoping for a happy ending!

[identity profile] calcitrix.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy cow. That's like...so amazing. Your edges are so clean and the tones blend so well...I cannot fathom how you do that. And now I've gone back and looked at it again and caught even more detail...excellent!

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-25 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And all it takes is practise.. years and years.. *cough*

The right way to cut out an image, amount of sharpness...etc. :)

This is great. Love the colouring, especially.

Thank you!!!

[identity profile] kimberweeme.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Very intense. I love how dark it is, with these shotgun bursts of color. And the bullet casings flying around are a brilliant touch. Fantastic!

I kind of inappropriately love scenes where John has to use a weapon. Is that so wrong?

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-25 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it cannot be wrong since I like those too.. But actually I kind of like John in any way shape or form ;)
