Swirly Ronon

[alias_sqbr]

Last night I discoevered 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 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 :/

That's, um... kind of hot.

I think I need to write that fic now.

He's dressed in a lot of leather. Is that the fashion for space inhabitants*?

*Actually, is he an explorer (from Earth), or an extraterrestrial? I've deduced the second for a long time, but never actually asked.

I've actually seen very little of the show with Ronon in it, so am kind of hazy on the details. *googles*

Ok, he's from another planet which was destroyed by the Wraith (the Big Bad) But his people are descended from the same "Ancients" that all humans in the universe are, including the ones from earth.

Can't speak for the fashion sense though :)

I'm actually guessing that 'leather'='earthy'='natural'='other', but that's just the prejudiced daughter of anthropologists speaking. ;)

Go on then :D

No, that sounds about right :/

*blinks* That's actually really believable.

That is a) awesome and believable (as well as being an awesome drawing)

but b) You're making me wish for stories/more art now.

:D
