Steampunk Atlantisby *leyna55

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Movies & TV

"Archival photograph from the Atlantis expedition of 1907."

For an AU prompt challenge using the main Stargate: Atlantis team (John, Rodney, Teyla & Ronon). My prompt was Steampunk.

As usual, many references used. All the characters are referenced. I looked at vintage photos for ideas of the poses and some of the costumes. Notably Rodney's pose and clothes are referenced from a vintage photo of H Rider Haggard. This is a homage, since I read and loved his books as a kid, and he is partly responsible for my love for the concept of Steampunk.
The Zeppelin is based on vintage photos of the Graf Zeppelin. [link]

Good idea, nice composition and perfect stylization.
I dont like how looks Teyla, but John, Ronon and Meredit looks really good.
Anyway, this is best Atlantis steampunk picture i ever seen!

(sorry for the delay in replying) Thanks again. One of the things I like most about painting AUs as trying to find a suitable fit for the characters in the alternate universe, so I'm very happy you thing they work!

Marlene and I have been discussing it while watching SG-Atlantis...it suits them Better than the high-tech environs of the show does!!
Your piece is perhaps; 'How Atlantis Should Have Been.'
Also, whenever Marlene gets 'stuck' on how our Ronon (in Shrike) [link]
would handle something...she flicks over to your work, and something about 'Steampunk Era Ronon' jogs things loose in her head and lets her keep him true to how she's been handling him thus far.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
