The Astonishing Persistence of Memory
Oct. 4th, 2008 11:09 amI'm sure some of y'all have heard about
sgabigbang. It was a huge thing with lots of novel length fic centered around our favorite SGA characters. My favorite writer,
tielan, wrote an amazing John/Teyla story for it. It's meant to have three parts when complete (insane).
Anyway, I read the story, loved it. She asked me to create a banner for the "bonus features" event going on. It was quite last minute, and she's like 15 hrs ahead of me as far as time zones. However, I like her fic a whole heck of a lot, so I told her I'd see if I could come up with something.
At work that day, it was pitifully slow, so I decided to see if I could sketch something out. I decided to use a simplified version of the idea I had for an illustration I planned on doing for the story. I drew it on relatively large Post-It note, took it home, scanned it, and then added text and texture (from
jeyla4ever ) in Photoshop CS2. Typestyles are Houston Pen (script) and Adobe Garamond Pro.

The point is that y'all should go check out this story. The Q&A is rather interesting, too. I like reading and writing about the writing process.
