Oh wow! I love the individual portraits with a passion and the book covers are totally and utterly made of win. I would read every single one of those books.

Ha! Atlantis Publishing thanks you for your discerning patronage!

I'm glad you like the covers - I got a bit carried away because I was having so much fun making them.

Guh! Those are gorgeous portraits and hilarious covers! Love Rodney, but Ronon is just *melts* I don't know which one I'd want to read first...

Ronon's painting was a transparent excuse to use that gorgeous promo picture of Jason as a reference. Then I went and put clothes ON him *cries*

Usually Sheppard is my favorite, but I am more than a little in lust with your Teyla- she's gorgeous, and so utterly herself. The colors and the shading are absolutely perfect. And I really want her hat.

The covers are brilliant as well, I especially love the taglines. Sultry heartbreaker! French for trouble! Ticket to the morgue!

I love the look of fedoras, and Teyla has just been beautiful to paint(just wait, now I've jinxed myself!)

Half the taglines are gloriously real - I made a collection of them from the back covers of noir novels.

WTF????? This is so incredible!!!!!!!!!!! I love the details like Elizabeths hair, and all the clothes!

[leyna55]

*eeeeeee* Thank you! I gave Elizabeth Lauren Bacall's hairstyle since it so very 40s noir with the rolls. AU prompts are a great excuse to find interesting clothes to put them all in (I'm a bit of a costume geek at heart)

...! *stares*

This is gorgeous beyond belief! (And it took me a lot more staring before I could type that sentence!) They're SGA Noir! And perfect - eyes and stubble and hair, and I hardly know where to look first because it's all so beautiful. Ronon jumps out at me because the light, and his hair and - um. Neck and arms and wow. Yes. So not coherent, and - and they are books! With taglines and titles and now someone needs to write these! Someone needs to write these real bad, because they're so incredibly intriguing, and you bet I'd pay my 25c to get to read 'em.

Also, Teyla as the detective is beautiful, figuratively as well as literally. A tough broad whose code is honor - really, the whole thing just fills me with glee, and an fantastic urge to get more of this world.

Yay! ♥

Ha! Atlantis Publishing thanks you for your interest *g*
I had the idea for the books from the start (then got a little carried away). Half the taglines are real lines from the back covers of noir novels and the others are styled closely on them- because the language was just too much fun.

I used a gorgeous picture of Jason as the reference for Ronon (I've been hoping for an excuse).

The prompt had the idea of Teyla as the detective and I loved the concept.
