swirlygate, a set of 5 short fun web-episodes set on "Swirlygate Atlantis" starring Joan Sheppard and Meredith McKay. Anyway, in the "Bloopers and Thanks" section they encourage people to think about gender and race etc in the show themselves, and I was suddenly struck by the image of a male Teyla and female Ronon (everyone else's clothes are rather unisex), and what that said about the way men and women (and POC men and women in particular) are dressed on tv.
And so: Ronon Dex as a woman.
Based on this image. Inspired by the various genderswapped superhero images I've seen, specifically![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
logansrogue and originalnilson's.
Teyla would unfortunately require a lot more thought since I don't want him looking like a guy in drag. I may do it eventually.
I need to work on my shading. I spend ages on the shadows and it still all ended up looking rather washed out :/
