Stargate: Atlantis fanart, RPG-concept of an ascended Wraith
Traditional pencil sketch, coloured in Photoshop
Originally published October 2010

If the Ancients could ascend why not the Wraith? A character from the online role playing game WWA (now inactive). This is Vincent who happens to be ascended. More or less by accident and not by his own motivation though. He got help from Oma Desala who wanted to prove that Wraith aren’t evil and are capable of becoming valuable members of the higher plane community.

Vincent continues his life like a proper immortal-mortal being and lives like a regular Wraith on a hiveship but he can change into his ascended form at will. He usually keeps it a secret because he has made the experience that it makes people edgy to talk to a blinding ball of light.

Vincent a.k.a. Wraith Firefly (at least in this incarnation) belongs to me.

Old piece originally published on deviantArt. I’m in the process of bringing these over here because I no longer upload content on dA and have put my gallery there in storage. In the next weeks these older pieces will appear here, mixed with newer stuff.
