Hey everyone! Hope you're all well, and that your fingers aren't frozen to the mouse this winter. Guh, so c-c-cold... -_- Just a couple orders of business for today!


If anyone's in the market for getting a commission or two, Mika, Tea and Joey could sure use the work. Here are the situations:

Also, I've been meaning to get around to that Artist Feature meme that circulated around not to long ago! Fringedog was the first to bring it to my attention, so the first slot's his; Noben gets slot two because she very thoughtfully just featured me out of the blue the other day! The other eight are for any artists/writers/composers who want to post this meme themselves (but seeing as it's already made the rounds, I'm betting most who wanted to do this already have ^^;). Remember how this works? Just leave a comment here saying you'd like a spot, and then make a journal like this one with the person you got this from featured in slot #1!

1)  Fringedog
Of the Blazing Sky: Fringe has a real knack for drawing Tengus, especially in his fluid painterly style!
Werejackelope: This one still blows me away whenever I look at it. Such a unique design! It was what sold me on watching him.
Another Kind of WW2: It's got a WWII tank in it. 'Nuf said :3

2)  noben
Boobquake: Remember back when that Iranian cleric blamed seismic activity on immodest dress, and the silly experiment it prompted last year? Well I ran across this picture then and it really left an impression - honestly, it's kinda one of the few things I really remember about the event XD (in fact I just discovered that I'd bookmarked Nolen's gallery back then to peruse through later, but apparently lost it in the shuffle! oops! x_x)
The Burnt Pearl: She has so many examples of incredible lighting, I had a tough time picking one! The nice thing about this piece is that it was recorded, and shows the coloring from start to finish in under four minutes! I feel like I should have learned some new art tricks from the video, but mostly I'm just dizzy from how fast it went @_@
Dragon Luffs: Composition, texture, lighting, expression; everything pulls together beautifully on this one. It just oozes "hug" :3

3)  minimink
Fountain and the Snake: Very neat design, and that eye is just so captivating! :D
Leaning Human: I love the lighting on this, and notice that neat effect where the more distant part is blurrier than the foreground? I've gotta try that one of these days!
The End: Minimink writes, too! I found this pretty thought-provoking, both from wondering what I'd do in that situation and from the protagonist's carefree attitude toward it all. Plus, does his feeling turn out to be justified? We'll never know!

4)  nightlinez
Sunrise Relaxation: Maybe I'm crazy, but in a bunch of her art (and especially this one) I detect a lot of Southwestern influence. It makes for a really neat aesthetic, one you don't find too often 'round here!
Spare Crumbs: There's something about seeing a really well-executed piece of art on a totally absurd subject that makes for an insta-fave in my book.
Rental Car: I've always wanted to do that - she's light enough, she probably can! This pretty much sums up her great 'derpy' style :)
