Whoa - it's been a while....

Since it seems that life is endeavouring not only to keep me away from here but also away from drawing in general, I decided the way to go was to draw current catnip of choice - that way I can practice drawing men, give the old pencil skills an airing and be totally shallowly motivated in one foul swoop (although I seriously doubt 'shallowly' is a real adjective, I'm sure you all know what I mean... )

So, a portrait of Ronon Dex from Stargate Atlantis. Quite obsessed with Atlantis - it's all gone SG1 on me (had quite a problem with SG1 for years - managed to shake it (kind of) by getting rid of cable, thus making sure I could not compulsively watch it 5 hours a day ( damn you, Sky One, with your constant re-runs!). Didn't watch Atlantis at first - don't usually like series spin offs - then caught an ep with giant be-dreadlocked barbarian type in it: instant Elysia-nip. Sadly then found out that aforementioned giant was a cast regular... balls. Ended up watching more than one ep and found self squarely in the thick of the Stargate universe once again... DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU, STARGATE UNIVERSE!! When will you relinquish your sci-fi nerd-like grip upon me?!)

*ahem*

Dreadlocks are an arse to render. So are beards. Still - hmmmmmmmm.... Ronon.....
