Nicholas Rush - Contemplation

As viciously abrasive as Rush seems to enjoy being with the Colonel and the crew and…pretty much everyone, it’s nice to see him in his quieter moments too. When he’s not antagonizing the crew he tends to isolate himself so he can work within the comfort of his own mind - probably the only thing he fully trusts. The man values his aloneness, and perhaps that’s why I relate to him so much.

Worked on this sporadically over a period of three days and came out with only 33 layers, which is an impossible new record. The new painting technique I attempted gave the whole piece a pretty harsh “painted” look but I rather like it. We’ll see if it sticks. I must find a way to improve the picture quality, because this looked much nicer in Sketchbook.

This one was referenced from SGU 1x07, “Earth” and even I’m not sure I did it justice, I overall like how it came out.

Also on my tumblr.

Stargate Universe belongs to MGM and so does Nicholas Rush. I'm just doodlin the fella.
The art is mine though. So keep it that way, yes? Kindly don't repost, etc.
