title: Wishing You Were Here
artist: gblvr
for: sexycazzy
request: Lorne/Radek or Lorne/Sheppard or Lorne/Carson. Anything up to NC-17, (in the SGA universe) digital photo manipulations and would like it to be around New Year theme - e.g. snow, party, champagne, kissing, etc (no drawings, no paintings or fanvids or cartoon-like please) Header (900x300) or wallpaper (1200x800 or higher) (no icons please, or any kind of fanvid/mix) I also like crossover with SG-1 and Lorne/Mitchell but this is not required!
medium: digital manipulation
pairing or characters: Evan Lorne/Radek Zelenka
rating: G
summary: You know how sometimes they just can't be there for the holidays, and all you want is to see them, even if only for a few minutes? Yeah, that's how I think poor Radek is feeling in this one....
artist’s notes: I'm terrible about keeping track of where I find screencaps, etc., but for once I can definitively say that the background image is from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day feed....

title: Home
artist: strivaria
for: pe1804
request: Lorne, Sheppard or Ronon on Atlantis or on a new world ... anything up to NC-17 ... either one of them alone or paired...wallpaper or header
medium: digital manipulation
pairing or characters: Ronon Dex
rating: G
summary: A consideration of home, if not necessarily for the holidays.
artist’s notes: Screencaps from demon.cry, MGM and onlyhdwallpapers, texture is wojtar stock metal texture #7, and font is brushtip travis.

title: Gravitas
artist: danceswithgary (pinch hit)
for: crysothemis
request: I'd really love some kind of John-centric character piece (with or without additional characters, as you wish). It could be funny, angsty, goofy, or sexy -- it's all good. Basically, if John's in there somewhere, I'll be happy. If you'd like a more specific prompt, I'm particularly fond of images of John with his eyes closed or looking down. He could be sleeping, embarrassed, looking at something, whatever -- I just like him with his eyes downcast. In general, I enjoy different media and styles of art, but I'm not in need of icons or headers, and my taste in music is painfully idiosyncratic, so fanmixes are probably not a good fit.
medium: digital manipulation
pairing or characters: John Sheppard
rating: G
summary: John carries the complicated weight of his past.
artist’s notes: I used screencaps from 'The Lost Tribe' with a variety of fractals and clouds (my profile contains my sources which will be available after the reveal).

title: Finishing Touches
artist: mific
for: gblvr
request: My favorite pairing is Lorne/Zelenka; I like pretty much all art and almost any subject matter (the usual exceptions of death and bodily fluid kinks apply). Art with Lorne and Zelenka kissing under the mistletoe would be awesome, as would art or covers for any of my Lorne/Zelenka stories....
medium: digital art
pairing or characters: Evan Lorne/Radek Zelenka
rating: M (NSFW)
summary: A very private portrait
artist’s notes: This is for gblvr, who likes Evan and Radek. Hope you enjoy it!

Evan: Hold still, Radek, just the last finishing touches.
Radek: I could do with some finishing touches over here, Major...

title: Wait for Me
artist: winter_elf
for: everythingshiny
request: Mcshep, Rodney, John, Teyla, Ronon, Carson, Keller/Ronon, ummm pretty much all the characters after that but i'd stick with these as they are my favourite. I LOVE friendship and Gen stuff as well, with any of the people above. I particularly love wallpapers (1280x768) and fanmixes and vids. I like icons, but i have soooo many that i wouldn't be able to give them the love they deserve. As well as other graphicy things are fine too.
medium: digital manipulation
pairing or characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
rating: PG-13
summary: Wallpaper for you! I was not sure what color you liked - so two different versions so you can change as the mood suits.
artist’s notes: Super thanks for my art-beta's last minute handholding. You are a lifesaver.

title: Elf Angel
artist: velocitygrass
for: bluespirit_star
request: I love McShep - or John or Rodney - but mainly I just love them together please! I like digital art, videos or drawings. I really like romance. I'm not too keen on anything too explicit (no NC-17 stuff please), though snuggling is always good. *g* I also like the team - so gen stuff with John, Rodney, Teyla & Ronon is great. An illo for one of my stories would be awesome, too.
medium: digital painting
pairing or characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
rating: G
summary: none
artist’s notes: Done in MyPaint with brushes by David Revoy and Ramón Miranda and palette by Dementedsnake and navate.

title: Holiday Traditions & Unwind
artist: calcitrix
for: pirateveronica
request: I'd LOVE something celebrating all the women of SGA, and my head-canon of their awesome friendship together. Wallpaper, fanvid, picspam, fanmix. gen. It can also be actually Christmas themed if artist wants :P
medium: digital drawing
pairing or characters: Elizabeth Weir, Teyla Emmagan, Sam Carter, Jennifer Keller
rating: G
summary: (with each piece)
artist’s notes: none
