Title: "Your Kiss Might Kill Me"

Artist: renisanz  
Rating: PG
Prompt: Ronon/Jennifer, first kiss
Medium: drawing/graphic
Pairing(s): Ronon/Keller
Spoilers: No spoilers, just wishes and horses.
Notes: It's definitely no small task to maintain a character's likeness when their face is smushed against someone else's. Good reference photos were definitely a must in this case. This was the last prompt I picked up, but the first to be complete, go figure. It's no secret (by now, at least) where my shippy heart lies. Drawn in pencil [I'm such a traditionalist. ; ) ] and then scanned in and manipulated in Photoshop CS2. Enjoy.

Finally, I get to post my paintedspires  piece.

Quite a bit of layers were involved, maybe about 12. I kept having to copy and multiply the line art layer so the pencils would show through all the texture. You get a cookie if you can guess where the overlain text is from.

And, here are the pencils, toned in Photoshop CS2. I was going to stop at this, but then I saw the awesome pieces from other artists. It encouraged me to dig into my creative reserves.

Thanks for looking. : )

Oh, wow, that is so cool! I like your pencil lines and shading a lot, lovely unfussy way of making overlapping spaces, and the colored end product is just beautiful, I'm glad you went those extra steps :) The texture and colors are gorgeous coupled with the line drawing. Really nice work.

Aww. Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate my extra effort. I've been a combination of anxious and nervous about posting.^_^
