fanart, Offworld Team Camping

[ratcreature]

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex
Media used: pencil drawing, inked with fine liner pens, acrylic paint
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: This was my yuletart gift for Mashimero, originally posted during yuletart here. Mashimero asked for fluffy, happy team bonding scenes, and for gen or McShep, so this is a team scene, with very mild McShep cuddling. John, Rodney, Teyla and Ronon are making S'mores.

Oh ratcreature, how awesome are you!McShepSnuggles!
Also being a Brit ...wtf are s'mores? (I get that there is marshmallow involved, but ...)

You're good with paint! I love John's upturned face (and Ronon's arms!).

[ratcreature]

I actually have never seen or eaten a s'more. Like so many odd American foods and brands I only learned of them through reading fanfic. So take my explanation with a grain of salt, but afaik, you take somthing called a "graham cracker" (we don't have these here either, but according to wikipedia, that is some sort of digestive biscuit, sweet not salty) and put on it chocolate and a marshmallow that has been roasted over fire, and another cracker on top, and then the hot marshmellow melts the chocolate, and it is eaten.

And I am happy you liked the picture! Thank you for commenting.

Thank you. I'm quite happy how this turned out. I was very apprehensive at first because this was my first time painting a campfire. Or any sort of fire really. And it is quite hard, especially as I did not want to make the painting very dark (like on most photos of campfires with everything around black), but still convey the impression of fire glow and darkness.

Oh, how lovely! The details are fantastic - I especially love cuddling John & Rodney. ♥
