Inktober week 4 - Challenge #9 summary

Title: Inktober Week 4 Summary
Artist: mific 
Rating: G
Fandoms: SGA, Die Hard, and due South (and kind of The Addams Family)
Characters/Pairings: Teyla Emmagan, Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, John McClane, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Content Notes: Experimenting some more this past week, after getting myself some new watercolour paints. The two due South pics aren't pure traditional artworks as I layered the inking on top of more complicated watercolour backgrounds using Photoshop, but I'm counting the inked parts for the challenge anyway. Only 4 works - 5 if I include the tossed off blind drawing of John McClane - but some of them were detailed and took more than one day. I had fun in the due South ones experimenting with watercolour techniques I'd seen on youtube - using salt crystals and paint splatter for the Milky Way stars. I found ordinary table salt worked better than coarse salt as I wanted a fine-grain mass of stars. For the Freefall one I used very wet paper and let the paint run.
Three more pics to go, just when work's exploding on me, damn.

Hoooo, the backgrounds are so pretty! And all your pieces this week are seriously great (yes, event the blind drawing! As I commented on someone else entry, blind drawings can have an amazing freshness and confidence in the lines, that make them "work" even if they are not realistic!

Also, the vampires one composition is so good!

Thank you! I'm kind of fond of that drawing of John McClane myself. :)
I did have fun with the Gentlemen Vampires - lots of blood!

The aurora in Freefall is really neat, especially with the dark silhouettes. I also like the blind drawing a lot, actually, it's a neat abstract look.

It is kind of fun, isn't it? Yeah, I enjoyed the watercolour backgrounds and will definitely do some more like that.
