{fanart} "My Turn" based on Serenity for reel_merlin take 6

[altocello]

Title: "My Turn"
Author: altocello
Movie Prompt: Serenity
Character: Morgana
Rating: G
Summary: Morgana as River Tam.
Artist's Notes: Drawn with graphite pencil and kneadable eraser on white sketchbook paper. GIMP used to create a sepia overlay effect and to add my sig. Many thanks are owed to amphigoury for the beta help, and to the mibbit chat folks (especially k_nightfox and rocknvaughn) for cheering me on even as I completely panicked about meeting the deadline. *hugs*

"You've always taken care of me. My turn."


"My Turn"


Plus, bonus study sketch! It started off as a bare bones study for "My Turn" of the lines in Morgana's face.



After I finished that work I had a little more time, so I went back and filled it in, and here's the result. To quote the Serenity promos, "Mysterious. Dangerous. Unstable." Yep.


"Dangerous"

OMG... *runs and hides*

This is truly scary. I mean *really*. I feel my heartbeat pick up when I look at her face and have her eyes staring right at me.

Awesome, bb! Really, really fantastic!

Sorry to scare you, but happy to hear it has that effect, because I was going for intimidating, lol. So, thanks! And here, *hands a blanket over* have something to hide under? *hugs*

Thanks, Amph! You helped it be scary! *hugs* I'm going to need a bigger blanket for everyone to hide under, LOL!

Wow, gorgeous work! She looks the very definition of 'dangerous.'

Thank you very much!

[kitty_fic]

Oh wow! SO intense! Great job!

[altocello.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Kitty! Both River and Morgana are really intense characters, I'm glad I managed to convey that feeling!

well well well, isn't that badass?!

This is awesome!

Thank you so much, LM! I love badass Morgana! This was a great excuse to draw her! (I have a suspicion that part of why Katie liked being the bad girl was that she got to play Morgana as a BAMF, almost all the time.)

Loving the Tam pose. Morgana would be really badass!

Thank you very much, I had a good time drawing that pose! I love badass Morgana.
