fanart, Sheppard & Steampunk!Puddlejumper

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard & Steampunk!Puddlejumper
Media used: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint
Rating/warnings: G
Notes/comments: I did this for the prompt "Victorian steampunk AU" for the SGA fanart fest [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires. Admittedly mechanical pterodactyls aren't the most efficient way for a flying machine, Steampunk or otherwise, and not a very likely or even possible path technology would take from an SF standpoint, but this way was much cooler visually than merely changing the puddlejumpers with pipes or gauges or whatever. I mean, they more or less look like flying lunch boxes. Not really realistic technology, but this is Stargate after all, and I'm pretty sure John would think that mechanical, flying dinosaurs were cool.

The original is 30x40cm, so unfortunately I had to scan it in two parts, and you can see a slight line where I merged, because I fail at digital manipulation and didn't know how to make the two parts fit completely seamless.

Preview: preview of Sheppard flying a Steampunk!Puddlejumper

And because you can't see Sheppard that well in that size, here's a larger detail view:

If for some reason you want the whole image in a print resolution in its original size, I uploaded that as well, however at 300dpi and 30x40cm the file is over 4652x3500 pixel / 4mb: look at it in a really huge size in high resolution

What fun! It's a great picture too and you are so right; Shep would be all over a mechanical flying dinosaur.

This is so great. Dinosaurs make awesome flying machines.

SGA production people? Please to be featuring a mechanical flying dinosaur in season 5? Thx.

This is great. Particular love for the engine and Shep's jacket ♥

Very very cool! Steampunk!jumper looks cute. No doubt, if John saw that thing, he'd want to take it on a testflight right away.

Absolutely gorgeous! The detail is incredible. Now did Rodney build that for him? :D

Excellent! Those wacky Ancients probably designed the puddlejumpers like this because pteradactyle are cool (Ancient aesthetics ftw!) I love all the mechanical bits and John in his flying rig.

I love it! It's clever and funny all at the same time.
