Star Wars: Leia Organa - Our Princess, Our General by WolfenM

Acrylic, 16X20 canvas paper.

In memory of Leia's portrayer, Carrie Fisher. Used a movie still from A New Hope for reference. I chose this image to work from because it's so powerful, so regal.  I did alter the background and slightly alter her lips, giving her a faint smile. I also added glitter to her cheek, because Fisher was known for anointing fans with glitter at conventions; at Dragon Con next year, we're going to wear glitter on our left cheeks in her honour.

Happy Holidays from WolfenM! <3 *I wrote this filk / made this vid in late 2007. David Hewlett himself faved it over at youtube, and Stargate producer Joe Mallozzi told me to make another, with "Good King Wenceslas"! *grin* (Of course, I never did ....) "Gods Rest Ye Merry Stargate Folk", by WolfenM Gods rest ye merry Stargate folk, let nothing you dismay Whenever the power goes out just call Rodney McKay He'll raise the shields and fix the 'Gate and drive the Wraith away O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist On Lantea, in Atlantis, you'll find someone named Lorne, Sheppard, Teyla, Sam, Zelenka, Carson, and Ronon For most people outside of this, Rodney has naught but scorn O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist From a planet far away from Earth, an Ascended Ancient came, and unto a certain Sheppard bestowed a kiss again So an irritated Rodney called him "Kirk" by name O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist Fear not the Wraith says Teyla, we'll help you win the fight Rodney is our saviour He's really pretty bright He'll help free those who trust in him and rescue those in plight O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist John Sheppard at the lunch hour rejoiced with much in mind, He left his people a-feeding and, since he's very kind, took Jell-O to the lab straightway, Rodney McKay to find O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist When to the science lab John came to where dear Rodney lay, John found him under a console, and fed him for the day! Zelenka was there, kneeling down beside his boss McKay O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist Now to Rodney McKay sing praise, all you within this place! Despite the evil brotherhood, ZedPM we finally embrace, even if Kolya and his Genii did give a merry chase! O-oh snarking from cranky scientists He's a genius! Because he is an astrophysicist

SGA: Rodney McKay on the Pier by WolfenM (Circa 2010)

Acrylic on 16X20 canvas paper. From the Stargate Atlantis ep "The Shrine", my fave scene from the Stargate franchise. Sister painting to this.

After Rodney McKay has something of a meltdown in the middle of the night (he's got a parasyte in his brain that's making him lose his memories and degrading his intelligence), his best friend John Sheppard brings Rodney out to the pier for a beer. Rodney wants to say his goodbyes while he still has his faculties, but John refuses -- he simply won't accept the possibility of losing Rodney.

This really gave me a hard time, particularly just getting it started, as the references were fuzzier than I would have liked, especially the one I started out with. Still, I'm pretty pleased with it. See the WIP progression here: [link]

I was going to give this to David Hewlett (Rodney) at Dragon*Con that year, but there was a last-minute scheduling conflict that year, and I didn't get to. Thankfully, I did in 2015! From my con report:

Waiting my turn, I heard him tell the person ahead of me that his character on Dark Matter will be on the ship next season, rather than just appearing via vid-screen -- yay! After paying for a signature, I explained to the handler that I had also something for him to sign for the charity auction -- a custom My Little Pony of his character Patrick, from his film A Dog's Breakfast, complete with props -- but I hadn't been able to get clearance yet on whether or not they wanted it, it being so late. The handler confirmed my suspicion that I would have to trek back when I had the authorisation -- but thankfully, that's not how it worked out!

I had a folder full of art for Hewlett, which I took the time to show (rather than just hand the folder to him) only because there was no one behind me. It was very gratifying to get to see his reactions to my work -- even the custom ponies of his Stargate character, Rodney McKay, and several characters from A Dog's Breakfast. He cooed fondly over the photo of the pony of Mars (his dog) -- he'd signed it for auction a few years back, but someone else had gotten the signature for me, so it was really special to get the reaction myself. He seemed delighted with the other customs, enthusiastically geeking out (which was a relief, because reactions to my ponies by other Stargate actors had been mostly unfavourable -- all the more reason to adore the Squirrel King, as his fans, we Squirrels, call him).

He wanted a photo of the Patrick, and as he dug for his phone, I pulled out the page of photos of it I'd printed out for him. I told him I just wanted to make sure he got to see it in person, but hopefully I would get permission to put it in the charity auction. He took the pony and a pen behind the table, surreptitiously, saying, "Well, what if I just accidentally sign it? Oops!" I love this guy!

I was never sure if he'd seen the family portrait I'd done as part of a fan-group project -- he loved it, joking that he now had less hair on his head while his son, a baby in the picture, had more. He also thought he'd signed it for me before! (I hope he's just remembering seeing it online, and someone didn't print it out to gave him sign for them (especially if they claimed to be the artist)! Really, people, fan-art is personal and we don't get paid to do it -- don't go printing it out for autographs without permission!) He grinned gleefully over my portrait of him as the Fourth Doctor (done after reading he wanted to play the Doctor -- he was born in England -- and that Baker is his fave), and was, happily, impressed by the painting of Rodney from the episode "The Shrine." As I said goodbye, he said he'd see me online. That whole experience made the con for me, and was one of the very best celebrity encounters I've ever had ....

SGA: John Sheppard on the Pier by WolfenM (Circa 2009)

Acrylic on 16X20 canvas paper. My painting of a frame from my fave scene in the entire series of Stargate Atlantis. Sister painting to this.

From the episode “The Shrine”: After his best friend Rodney McKay has something of a meltdown in the middle of the night (he’s got a parasyte in his brain that’s making him lose his memories and degrading his intelligence), John Sheppard brings Rodney out to the pier for a beer. Rodney wants to say his goodbyes while he still has his faculties, but John refuses – he simply won’t accept the possibility of losing Rodney. You can see the work-in-progress and read more about it here: [link] (Fixed his left iris & pupil (the eye in shadow, his left, not the viewer’s) as per encouragement from *Miso-no-Tsuki’s critique. Thanks, hon!)

Gave this to Flanigan at Dragon Con in 2010 (and had him sign a copy for me). He loved it / was impressed – he even rubbed it in Paul McGillion’s face (Paul was at the table next to him) that he got a painting and Paul didn’t, LOL! Paul had stuff on the curtain behind him, and so Joe went up to his own curtain and held up the painting and was all “*I’m* gonna put *this* up here!” And he told me his wife paints, too. :) John Sheppard and scene from “The Shrine”, © MGM/Acme Shark.

The Atlantis 'Gateroom by WolfenM (Circa 2008)

Did this for my Whilred.com chatroom, "The 'Gate Room" [link] (Note: I never go there anymore.) Drawn/painted/generated in Photoshop.

It's not entirely accurate, no -- I simplified a few things, and also didn't have a reference for the entire scene from the angle I wanted, so I had to use refs from other angles as well & do some guesswork. And I left the floor linework out. Still, I'm fairly pleased with it.

David Hewlett-Rodney McKay B+W by WolfenM (Circa 2007)

Drawing of actor David Hewlett, aka Stargate Atlantis's Rodney McKay. I was totally blown away by the episode "Tao of Rodney" -- I liked Rodney before, but that ep cinched my adoration!

See the original pencilwork here: [link]

See the colourised version of this here: [link]

Done with an H pencil, a WACOM tablet, and Photoshop Elements. Find the photo ref used in David's IMDB gallery. (NO, THS IS NOT A PHOTOMANIP!!)
