Hunter x Hunter/Yuu Yuu Hakusho - 1 Fanart
Gundam Wing - 1 Fanart
Gundam Wing/Gad Guard - 1 Fanart
- Death Note - onlooker [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Okay. What won me over with this site was the little chibis of all the DN characters that are just so ADORABLE that I couldn't help but squee madly. The rest of the art is largely cute and sketchy-like, but the artist draws a nice L and her comics are kinda cute. She also does a rather nice Ryuuku when she draws him fully, rather than just sketching him. So, all in all, this was a cute site that helped me get my fix and showed a lot of promise for the future--especially with those chibis! XDXDXD (No real warnings/pairings.)
- Death Note - cross [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Wow. This is another one of those sites that's blown me away with both the level of detail in the art and how overall PRETTY it is. The artist's Raito looks GORGEOUS, the colors those warm, almost burnished colors that are autumn-ish colors that really do work so well with these characters. I normally associate them more with darker colors, like grays and slate blues, but... somehow these dark reds and burnt oranges and dark golds work with the characters. The artist's lines are smooth and clean, yet still detailed and not exactly delicate or fine... but whatever the opposite of clunky is. It's really the strongest point of her art--that the characters aren't just pretty, they're well drawn. The characters' hair is especially perfect, she gets all the lines just like the manga's artist does, really capturing the FEEL of the characters and when she draws Raito with that scythe? SO COOL. I just... I swoon with love over these illustrations. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. (A little L/Raito.)
- Death Note - Crucify [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Admittedly... I can be won over by smut, which is a little bit the case with this site. It's not that the art is bad... I actually kind of like it; L's eyes are... there's an off-kilter, tired, overly-dialated look to them that fits with the character, I think. The artist also has a really strong sense for shading and inking (the art is very reminscient of a doujinshi, I think), but it was the comics and the smut that won me over... because I tend to be easy like that. ^_~ The comics are actually the highlight of the site, I think, because the artist really does have a lot of discipline in her art and a strong sense for the layout of each comic page. So it was a solid site that I had a lot of fun with. ^_^v (L/Raito, some content warning.)
- Death Note - [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I waffled on this site for a bit, but the art was more than pretty enough for me to keep going... and once you hit some of the later stuff, the more sketchy type illustrations, this site actually has some really pretty fanart. The color, I think, can distract a little from how good the artist's lines actually are; she has a lighter touch, I think, that comes across better with the soft b&w sketches. The face sketches on one of the later pages are just gorgeous, really beautifully done and there are a couple of really neat ones with Raito freaking out and there are some gorgeous ones of L and Raito talking or walking next to each other--especially one of Raito in his tennis clothes walking next to L that looks GOOD. All in all, it was a nice little site that I enjoyed a lot. XD (A very little L/Raito, but it's barely there.)
- Hunter x Hunter/Yuu Yuu Hakusho - Togashi Room [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I admit that not all of the illustrations on this site were to my taste... but there were enough here (and YYH and HxH fanart are rare enough) that I thought I'd rec the site anyways. The artist is a little shakey a lot of the time, but occasionally the art really tightens up and it's quite pretty art--there's this one of Kurapika that's just lovely, looking like it was done with all CG, yet still so smooth. Plus, the YYH fanart was very fun--there's one of Hiei in action that was just effing COOL and there was a really nice one of Kurama in the gallery as well. So... fun site, I liked it. ^_^v (No real warnings/pairings.)
- Gundam Wing - Mirror Age [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I come across GW art at the oddest times and this was no exception... but damn, how did I miss this artist before? Her work is absolutely stunning in just about every aspect. Her lines are incredible, her colors are fantastic, her poses are gorgeous, and her details are wonderful. Just... Heero and Duo are gorgeous here and she captures exactly what I'm looking for in fanart--not too shoujo-esque, not too shounen-esque, but somewhere in the middle that's just... pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty, I can't say it any better than that. And there's this one of them kissing in the rain at sunset... it just takes my breath away. And then there's the beautiful light and airy one of them on the steps. And then there's the gorgeous one of them with rifles and pistols that just looks SO COOL. Not to mention that the tarot card series is, like, the most gorgeous thing ever. *__* .......the art here is sending me into an incoherent tizzy, that's how pretty it is. *__* Note: Be sure to scout around a bit, there's a couple of hits/gifts galleries that have still more gorgeous art. (Heero/Duo.)
- Gundam Wing/Gad Guard - V-GARDEN [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Dammit, I didn't want to be won over by this site, but... but... but... but... it has a Duo x Relena illustration! And it's pretty! And the artist has Gad Guard fanart! And they're pretty! I was sunk when I saw her gorgeous illustration of Katana (the group ones are cute, but it's that one of him himself that's the most stunning), it just... amazingly pretty. Plus, the artist does a gorgeous Relena and I'm always weak for a beautifully drawn Relena. The art is very... in synch with canon, I think, in her lines and the faces/hair of the characters, but she puts her own spin on the clothes and poses, very... upbeat and fun and just a touch whacky, I think. But it works well and the overall effect on the site is very pretty. Plus! GAD GUARD art! *twirls* (Some 1xR, 2xH, and that one 2xR that made me cave.)
