Gundam Wing Fanart Rec

Gorgeous artwork of Quatre Winner, by lililithblooody!

It's really too bad he didn't get an outfit like this in the show. :D

Incredible fanart

Attention, please?

I have to share this incredible Mei Changsu fanart by Danukim. The intensity! The suggestion of haunting and of threat!

I really love it when an artist somehow conveys multiple levels of a character, and Danuki has done that here: this is Mei Changsu, the outward calm and the past pain and the coming destruction.

Drive-by art rec!

I just ran across Four seasons of promises by spaceArtie, a set of four seasonally-themed images for Nirvana in Fire's Jingyan and Lin Shu.

Beautiful and evocative, and the emotional progression hits as hard as the show's did.

*Amazing* beautiful fan animation!

Guys, I just found this incredible fan-drawn animation of Yuri and Victor pair-skating to On Love: Agape! It's in a lovely spare sketchy style that reminds me of both the anime's ending credits, and of a storyboard.

I'm blown away by the talent shown here, and also by the little flash of Yuri's grin toward the end. <3

I also giggled a bit over how sharply the height difference is. :D Victor, you're a beanpole!

art rec: "The Flight of the Prince"

I'm sick and working overtime, so naturally my Flist explodes with wonderful things! :D Like The Flight of the Prince, by [livejournal.com profile] mneomosyne. Beautiful atmosphere; a very eerie, almost surreal, depiction of one of my favourite HBP scenes.

Art rec: "I am not a coward!"

Ooooooh. Glock has done it again! Beautiful HBP art, with Snape and Harry and one of my all-time favourite scenes: "I am not a coward!" really captures the emotional resonance of the moment, with Snape's ferocious expression and battle-prepared stance. And such beautiful details: the clasps of Snape's robe, the surprise on Harry's face. Lovely!

Art Rec: "Locker Room"

Have you seen "Locker Room" yet?

I'm a bit late, I know, but I'm in love! Lanky, sullen, mostly-naked teenage Severus! [livejournal.com profile] lizardspots has done it again; I'm drooling. :D If there were a way to print this out, six feet tall, I'd do it in an instant. I'd even pay (cheap as I am) whatever was required to do it!

Why are you still listening to me rave? Go and look! (And don't forget to look for all those little details Lizard slips in!)

Art rec: Snape's Initiation

Delightful gen art by [livejournal.com profile] fiendling: Snape's Initiation has truly incredible shadows and such a palpable aura of secrecy. I'm in love!

Gen art!

If you haven't seen [livejournal.com profile] yukipon's lovely sketch of Harry and Sirius... why haven't you? :D It's absolutely wonderful. The moment depicted is just perfect; so happy, familial, even downright cute.

You can find it here in her journal, although it is also available at her website.

...and more gen art: "Yet Another Snape"

All right, folks, this is the genuine article. :D [livejournal.com profile] squirmy's "Yet Another Snape" is anything but just another Snape! He could be right out of an animated Potter film, with his bright yellow tones and marvelous sneer. I'm utterly in love with his expression.

And his nose. :D

Art rec: Remus & Harry

Gen art! Remus + Harry is just a terrifically sweet hug, with young Harry and a determined Remus; [livejournal.com profile] glockgal has done a lovely job depicting emotion on both sides, particularly on Remus, whose very understated-ness makes him seem true to canon. (Plus, despite being pencil work, it looks like watercolours, and I'm a sucker for watercolours!)

Art rec: "At the Three Broomsticks"

It seems to be a day for gen. :D

Ditraveler's "At the Three Broomsticks" is an illustration of the scene in PoA wherein Harry's connection to Sirius is revealed; everything is absolutely marvelous, right down to the incredible Christmas tree next to the table, and the look on poor Harry's face.

Art rec: "Guardian"

Here's one that got lost in the shuffle for a while! Guardian, by Julip ([livejournal.com profile] coldbeverage), is a terribly lovely picture that not only evokes a wealth of emotion but is also particularly well-done. I adore watercolours, and hers are superb--muted yet distinct, with a wealth of texture and detail.

Art rec: "And never the twain shall meet"

All right, now this is unusual! [livejournal.com profile] tapedeck has drawn not one, but two Snapes, in a fascinating style and entertaining position -- "And never the twain shall meet" has Book!Snape and Rickman!Snape in a face-off containing quite a lot of nose. :D

We can all guess by now which I prefer.

Art Rec: Naked Remus!

Hurrah for ~metamorphism! Remus, naked save for a Christmas bow, kept me grinning all day long.

Art Rec: "In Absentia"

In Absentia, by Dr. Worm, is incredibly touching and somewhat slashy while still being totally G-rated. Harry, hugging Remus' cardigan, and looking somewhat forlorn; what's not to like? I particularly love Harry's hair, and the way his wrist sticks out of his sleeve so adolescent-ly; I'm so used to the MentallyGrownUp!Harry who appears in so many slashfics that it's good to be reminded he's still young enough to be wrong, to be all knees and elbows and wrists however much an "old soul" he may have. Combined with the expression, and the sentiment... wow. I hurt for the poor boy.

Of course, being the irrepressible slasher I am, I hope that the absent Remus will return to him soon... :D
