Art: The Equation  
This is my 2nd [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires prompt. I commited manip. I haven't manipped in 3 years, so please keep in mind that I went a little crazy while searching for images and applying arm hair. Most of the time making this was spent browsing the internet looking for Rockstar pictures.

I want to sleep way too late, too, thinking I had to post the image yesterday.

My prompt was "Math Prof Rockstar" and lemme tell you, I strayed a little bit. I wanted to do the Team as a band and I figured since I couldn't get that prompt, I'd just do John as a Rockstar. A smart Rockstar. Which then morphed to John being a 2nd grade Math prof who does a little lazy music in the spare time. And who has a smart boyfriend named Rodney who is being send to a city in another galaxy and there aren't many free spaces there.
But there is this deal. If you manage to solve this really difficult equation to find out the 8th digit to dialing the gate, you will be able to join. And of course he wants to join Teyla and Ronon on their many heroic adventures he has heard so much about.
But now john looks more defeated than succeeding.

Books on the shelves include
  • Math like an ancient by Oma
  • The mechanics of the Stargate by Sam Carter
  • Understanding Ancient by Daniel Jackson
  • Basics of Physics by Rodney McKay
  • I had ancient in my head by Jack O'Neil

Unfortunately the books were to small, but maybe you can find one of them and actually read what's on it.

There a million things about this I love - but, but are those marvel TPBs in the upper right corner of the bookshelf? ee! :D

This is fabulous! I love the moody feel to it, all the little photos on the noticeboard, and John looks really cool in wannabe rockstar mode. Plus it's big enough to be a desktop background, and I always love it when I can put lovely new art up on my desktop.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 03:11 pm (UTC)
Heeee, I'm glad you like it. You're the only one who actualyl thought it moody, but i'm glad, because it's something I actually DID do on purpose.

And yeah, I used the widescreen from the scc wallpaper as a base so tht many could put it there if they wanted to.

this is awesome. seriously. I love good manips! a lot of them end up looking like crap, but this was great :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 03:12 pm (UTC)
Thank you!!! Especially since it still seems to me that john looks kind of off.

Amazing job!

Oh, I love this! (I especially like the bulletin board.)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 03:13 pm (UTC)
Yeah? That board was just an afterthought. I've been meaning to tell the story using the books, but then I couldn#t have them big enough to add the text I wanted.
[identity profile] mortari.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 12:20 pm (UTC)
That looks awesome! I love all the details in the background like the books and the pinboard, they tell a great story. And how hot is Sheppard with a beard? :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 03:14 pm (UTC)
Epipahny Shep looks awesome. And I usually don't like beards. *g*

Eeee, that is really cool! There's a strange unreal feel to it, like it's a virtual reality more than a real room, that works very well, like John's at home but not at home in his home... And the backstory cracks me up, very sweet. You can do it, John! Find the 8th Symbol!

(any chance of a larger version of the bulletin board? So many nifty little details, I'd love a closer look!)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 03:16 pm (UTC)
Heeee. I think having it look like a real room would have been kind of boring. It started that way at least and I just liked this a lot better.

And he has to find that Symbol, because obviously he cannot make Rodney stay and not follow his dream. He'd resent himself forever!

And the bulletin board isn't larger, I'm afraid. :(
[identity profile] bluflamingo.livejournal.com on May 7th, 2008 09:17 pm (UTC)
Wow. I love the photo board with everyone on it, and the stargate references.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 8th, 2008 09:09 am (UTC)
Thank you :)
[identity profile] terribilita.livejournal.com on May 10th, 2008 12:39 am (UTC)
Great manip! John makes a bit sad though--he looks lonely. *hugs him*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2008 04:20 pm (UTC)
Well..on purpose! *coughs*

Oooh, I love this. So many awesomeness!

Thank you!!!
[identity profile] bergann.livejournal.com on May 15th, 2008 10:34 pm (UTC)
Oh this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the story it tells, the books and the contrast and the picture board. And well, everything, really. :P All so incredibly beautiful.

(psst also, regarding the [livejournal.com profile] artword, when you're done, you can send the graphic to kickthehobbit@gmail.com :) )
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2008 04:19 pm (UTC)
Hey hon. I'm sorry I still haven't mailed. Doy ou think it's with the rules if we talked about the graphic or something? If I showed you what I have now? Because I'm so stuck and i have no idea if you will be able to do anything with it.

and thank you.

I know this was done years ago, but I just saw it now for the first time. I love the compositions of this. It had great atmosphere and works so well.
