I Am Your Image Dressed As the World is a hauntingly beautiful SGA fic by [insanejournal.com profile] mirabile_dictu that I think everyone should read. It's one of the ones I go back and re-read whenever I'm in an SGA mood.

The reason I bring it up is that (because as good as my intentions are, I never actually seem to get around to doing a pure recs post) I've been slowly creeping up the learning curve for Adobe Illustrator and decided to tackle a scene from the above. The image I came up with is a big honking spoiler for the absolutely joyous ending, so I've cropped the thumbnail pic carefully and I recommend reading the story first before clicking.





Rodney & the Space Winnebago

When re-reading the story to refresh my memory, I was reminded of another scene from the same fic that's indelibly seared in my memory. This one isn't spoilery (it happens on the first page) so click away!





John & the Singing Goat's Head

I churned this one out pretty quickly in my old friend Photoshop; I guess you could call it a drawble. It was cathartic to make it; seriously, this image has been haunting me for years! It's a really awesome story ... go read it!

John & the Singing Goat's Head

I love fandom because the reaction is never "WUT" but is instead "Hmm, I wonder how that fit into the story?"
