DRAWESOME

Title: The Keepmer on AO3
Artist: mific
Rating: Teen
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: The Keeper (Wraith queen)
Content Notes: Part of a cracky series for Mermay, where I shoehorn "mer" into various characters' names. This was inspired by Panisdead's story Ascension World: A Place for Children where the nasty possibility of aquatic Wraith is raised. So here's an AU version of the Keeper - the Wraith queen from Rising.
Summary: The last thing any diver wants to find is a Wraith Queen lurking in the kelp.

Title: Aquamer on AO3
Artist: mific 
Rating: G
Fandom: Aquaman (movie)
Characters/Pairings: Aquaman
Notes: No warnings apply. Part of a cracky series for Mermay and the current Drawesome prompt, where I shoehorn "mer" into various characters' names.
Summary: Because seriously, Aquaman should always have been a mer. Whenever he hits the water, the tail appears!

 

Title: Under Atlantis on AO3
Artist: mific

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: n/a
Summary: After finally extricating the city from Earth, they set her down on a tropical Pegasus ocean.
Content Notes: Drawn using Procreate. For the "marine" part of the current prompt.

1. What was your most challenging artwork to create (or took the longest time)?

It was an illustration I did for a WIP Big Bang "Band of Brothers" fic. I didn't read that part of the story carefully enough and when I ran the final draft past the author they pointed out that in the fic the woman was in a purple dress (it's set in about 1950), and that it was nighttime not daytime! Luckily it was a digital work, and the dress was easy to fix. In the end I managed to darken the whole pic, shift the colour tone more towards blue, illuminate the windows, and add some lighting effects. I used my iPad's edit functions in Photos, plus Procreate. These are the two versions:

Title: Ancestor on AO3
Artist: mific 
Rating: Mature (for the original work - naked torso)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Teyla Emmagan, Wraith Queen
Content Notes: Again, I've taken a very old original artwork and made it fanart, redoing it in Procreate.
Teyla being a person of color emphasises how very white the original is, and the old version also has unusual anatomy with Modigliani-like elongations, especially of their necks. The distortion was, I think, partly deliberate, but mostly as I never used references then and went for a quirky look rather than accuracy. The new version is technically better, but the problem with the Wraith is that they always look so over the top it's hard to take them seriously, which makes the redraw somewhat melodramatic.

Title: Elephant Man on AO3
Artist: mific 
Rating: G
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard
Content Notes: Created for the current challenge to redraw an old artwork. I first painted this many years ago in oils on canvas. This one's typical of the odd, quirky subjects I used to paint. In redoing this painting digitally in Procreate I made it into fanart, and John felt like the right choice.

Artist: mific 
Fandom: My Own Private Idaho
Rating: General Audiences
