OOH! This card is completely awesome! I love the off centered-ness - if that's a word - the detail behind Sheppard and the rings. The colors are lovely too! GLOMP!

*is glomped* Thank you! Of all the cards I've done so far, this one was definitely the most fun!

Wow. John in the Chair is so perfect! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the rest.

Thanks! I thought they were a good match as well :)

I like all the details you put into the Chair -- its texture looks quite difficult to draw! The blue planets in orbit are also quite pretty. :)

The funny thing about art (as I'm sure you've experienced) is that some things that you think will be hard are quite simple, really, but the things that look easy as pie you'll spend hours on and still not be happy. In this case, chair: cake; rings: Why God? Why?!

Thank you!

Thank you! The description seemed to fit the relationship between John and ATA technology perfectly. It seemed the only right choice :)
