The colors really flow well on this. It's very pretty.

S'MORES!

And for some reason the thing that really stands out to me are their boots. You do very nice boots.

The painting sets a really nice mood, and I love John & Rodney's expressions.

I noticed the boots first, too! I like them. :D

Ooh watercolours! Very nice! So many details to see!

OMG! I love Rodney's hand resting on John's chest, and they way that everyone looks so comfortable and relaxed. You've put a wonderful amount of detail into it, and I love the colouring, the warm glow of the campfire.

And you even have them making s'mores</i! Another one of my favourite things! Thank you mystery artist! &hearts;

Ronon and Teyla look to be having a really interesting conversation there, which makes me wonder what they are discussing (hatching a prank, perhaps?). John and Rodney look very relaxed and happy.I like your attention to detail - the food, and camping supplies and (as mentioned) boots!

The colouring and the textures of this piece are wonderful! There are so many lovely details. I especially liked the fire and the circle of light it casts compared with the dark blue forest. (And the fact that everyone is happy and smiling.) :)

Gosh, this is cozy. :D I love the sense of place, here: all the little campsite details (the bag of marshmallows is awesome), the warm colors in the circle around the fire, and the cool, darker shades of the forest behind them. There's a great mood to the piece! Posing's pretty great too, and Teyla looks like she really can't wait to eat that marshmallow.. ;)

I haven't seen SGA but this is great--there's so much to look at! I love all the details. And dude, you drew the sole of that boot awesomely. :D

[guinsky.livejournal.com]

Thirded. PS the McShep is cuuuute. :D *does not even like SGA*

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

I really like the atmosphere of this--the colors, the detail, the texture, all make it so cozy and warm.

The warm, cozy and companionable mood set in this piece and all the little, well-thought out details really make this stand out to me, even if I'm not exactly in SGA fandom. John and Rodney's pose looks loving and comfortable, and now I just wish I could have some S'mores, too ♥

I love the watercolor look of this. and john/rodney is SO ADORABLE! I love it! :D :D :D

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

HOLY GOD! The details you got into this are freaking aamzing. The crushed beer can! Heck, that's awesome. All the little touches (the boots, you got the ringlets on the boots! Wow!)Great art!

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Smores! OH, this is so snuggly! It reminds me of the very best picture books, it's done in such a thorough and color-rich style. You took a lot of dull, boring colors (lots of blacks and browns thanks to nature and uniforms)and made them vibrant and varied and just a beautiful mix. The fire is particularly stunning.

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

Aww, this is so adorable! Agreed with the people above: you draw really nice boots; they immediately jumped out for me. Also love the fire, and, for some reason, John's hair. :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Making s'mores, hee! The idea of Ronon dealing with them makes me very happy. *g* Nice work!

[leochi.livejournal.com]

What a lovely and cosy scene! And I really like your use of colours, well done!

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Nawww totally bonding moment! Love the details of their s'mores food and cans of soda, as well as their boots and omg issat a cooler? XD

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

The detail in this is *so cool*. You thought of everything! And they look so happy. :D

[ratcreature]

Thank you, I'm glad the colors work. It wasn't easy for me to evoke the feeling of firelight, especially as I did not want it very dark.

[ratcreature]

Thank you. I actually had a hard time with the laces, because I kept getting confused with the over/under pattern, even though I looked at my own and at reference photos of bootlaces. I'm glad it paid off.

[ratcreature]

Thank you! I kept messing up the pattern of the laces and had to redraw several time (this over/under is harder than one thinks!). I'm glad to hear the end result works.

[ratcreature]

Thank you. This was the first time I've drawn McShep, so I'm glad they work.
