I drew this for the casa_mcshep's La Fiesta de Verano organised by tex. We had a lot of fun playing in Sheppard and McKay's house and there's other entries for you to peruse.
Rating: G Summary: Rodney likes to watch John frolic
So you see there’s this fic, Sweetheart Deal, by neevebrody, where Rodney basically teases John both deliberately and by just being Rodney and it’s awesome. It was posted a wee while back, but hie yourself on over there and reread it.
I was surfing and quite randomly followed a link to an illustrator called Dorothy Pulis Lathrop, and I fell in love. Her use of lines and stippling; the precision of work; the content predominantly animals and children against fantastical backdrops, are magical. She also draws water in an intriguing stark manner. The pic below is based on her work. It is intended as a homage, I’m just playing and learning.
I simply could not resist drawing Rodney as a mermaid rescuing John who, as if by magic, appeared in the water before him. What actually happened was John got turned about on a patrol, took a misstep in his loosely tied boots, knocked himself silly and fell off the pier. Mer thought it was pretty magical and love a first sight. John took a little bit more convincing.

The first five people to respond to this post who comment saying they want in on the meme will get something made by me! My choice. For you.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: - I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! - What I create will be just for you. - It'll be done this year. - You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something*. - I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! - I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well.
* it is highly likely that if you’re a writer I’ll illustrate a scene from one of your stories.
I couldn't help myself. This is from a little snippet in the comments in part one of ladyflowdi's Baby Rodney WIP. I don't know how to link to comments... go find it, it's by beadattitude and it's adorable.
ladyflowdi has written a very cute kid fic called Baby Rodney. I've read the parts several times just to revisit the glee of Wacky Uncle John looking after a de-aged Rodney. It's currently an ongoing WIP.
Below is one scene which I simply just had to draw
