A space to chat fandom! Anon!

Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Art you love

[(Anonymous)]

Favourite paintings, etc

Re: Art you love

Not exactly a favourite, but watched too many University Challenge episodes where the answer to every picture round is 'Turner!' and it has made me kinda want a Turner canvas somewhere in the house. I think I have very basic taste in art. But it's misty and pretty!

Also, I don't want to drill; have heard that command hooks are worthless but command strips work.

I think we're going to get one from the Tate since nowhere else has the one we want in the right dimensions... We want a big one, pre-stretched/ready to hang, so I'm a bit worried the delivery will be fraught. I guess people order ikea all the time and it's not that huge in comparison... but eek.

Ordered and now I'm scared it will look really bad big and is one of those pictures that works better as a thumbnail. Will be quietly anxious about this for the next forever, aaaaargh. Worst case, I guess someone in my life will end up with being gifted with a massive canvas.

It looked nice but fell off the wall; was a bit too big for the command strips. But we found another place to balance it, so it worked out in the end.

Not exactly a fave, but pmsl at this poor squashed ophelia I encountered while looking for canvases online:

Does anyone know a good source for Leonora Carrington prints, postcards, etc? Liked the idea of having a few small prints up on a wall since can't pick a fave and they're a fun portal into a weird fantasy world, but seem surprisingly hard to find. Everywhere just sells Van Gogh prints.

Like, to go on bathroom door so people have a preview of what's inside:

May just end up printing these at home, but would have to get the printer working...

Eliza Ivanova is a recent favorite - especially her drawings. I love her loose, graceful linework.

I was gonna link Maegraeth for FF7 stuff, but it's just been May so seems all fandom has been drawing mermaids, and mermaids make me queasy atm. So will leave it a bit lol.

Re: Art you love - Fanartists and fanart

Oh wow, serious art goals! Too bad about the link with the mermaids, but good lord that brushwork is beautiful.

Hahaha she draws him well but Tseng in my head was 30+ when Shinra tracked down Aeris, and while I can see some kind of "shows up on doorstep near death; is reluctantly healed" scenario, I can't make the expression and pose work in that one. I like the church one, and while I've been put off all baseball-bat imagery, I do like the idea of the other pic being a snapshot from an undercover surveillance job where it was imperative they not draw attention to themselves.

I love her use of shapes and natural patterns.

A lot of style variation. The way he goes from realistic-looking drawing to almost scribbling is really interesting: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/w8bVRL
