Welcome to the Fan Art Madness

I sure some of you have already seen Alice in Wonderland (maybe even more than once) so in honor of this great adaptation, this week Katie and I are bringing you fan art based on the master mind behind the movie and so many great others. Director Tim Burton. Enjoy!

Tim Burton iz Tim Burton by *shaloneSK

I love the little evil grin Burton has on his face in this picture. Also the style of how the picture is done looks great. Its cartoonish and makes Tim Burton look like he belongs in one of his own movies. (Katie)

Its a new month which means, Caro and I have all new fan art for you. This week we are focusing on Alice in Wonderland. Which we also are featuring in book club this month. There is a lot of great work this week, so enjoy!

The Mad Hatter by Beloved-Creature on DeviantART.

One of my favorite characters from the book is the Mad Hatter and I love this piece of him, it reminds me of a dark version of Martin Short from the 1999 Alice in Wonderland movie. I like the colors used, the wheels in the back add something extra to it and his fascination for clocks. (Caro)

Wonderland by Taylor

I love the simplicity of this piece! And The White Rabbit looks great!! They also did a good job with the shading. Just plain pencil drawings are always my favorite. (Katie)

You Can Trust Me by sadwonderland on DeviantART.

This drawing gives off a really creepy vibe to me. And I love it! Haha! And for some reason I’m really drawn to Alice’s eyes. Over all I love this picture a lot. Its a different style than what we normally see. (Katie)

Alice – Kakashi in Wonderland by hellobaby on DeviantART.

I’ve never thought about it but, Kakashi would make a good Mad Hatter now that I think about it. I like everything about this piece; the red Queen with her pumpkin head, the way Alice is drawn and the small details. A good drawing of the author’s version of Alice in Wonderland. (Caro

I really like the last one, Alice – Kakashi in Wonderland, this might sound weird but it reminds me of a quilt. What did you think of this weeks art? Do you have a favorite? Or a preferred style you like?

We’re ending this month full of love with one more edition based on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Again we’re bringing you only drawings based on what the fans of the books imagined the characters would be. I hope some of you have already seen the movie and gives OBS your reviews. Enjoy!

ID Percy and Annabeth by Anaklusmos-Riptide on DeviantArt.

Im really starting to get into the anime style drawing. And this is a great example! I love their expressions, it looks like there ready for action. But I would have liked to see Percy with Riptide, since Annabeth has different props. (Katie)

The Last Olympian by MusicalCombusken on DeviantArt.

I like the elements the author used for this piece; the Pegasus, the sword and the tower all represent and give a good visual to the imagination of the viewer that it has something to do with Percy Jackson. The way all of the other colors are grays and blacks and then when it come to the sword it changes, making the gold separate it from the rest. The wings of the Pegasus also have a good technique that gives them more movement. (Caro)

Pjato-Hades by IrrationalPrince on DeviantArt.

Ok I just have to say, this is Epic. Hahaha, I can’t help it I have a soft spot for the Disney classics. I have the same probem as the artist, Hades will always have flaming hair to me. While reading Percy Jackson this is pretty much what I picture Hades to look like. (Katie)

Battle of Labyrinth Set 1 by Kebun-Angan on DeviantArt.

I like black and white drawings and how some have the ability to give every element their own space, because it is sometimes hard to add the right shadows and lights in the right places. It’s good that these drawings were made before the movie that way we can have our own vision of how we imagine the characters. An amazing job. (Caro)

I loved Hades flaming hair! What do you think of today’s Fan Art? Any of these your favorite?

A new month means all new fan art from a whole other theme. This month we bring you Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Rick Riordan’s fantasy books bring us to the whole new world of Greek myth and gods. If you’re an avid lover of all ancient mythology, you’ll love these books. If you aren’t, well let’s see if you enjoy the fan art.

Percy Jackson: Dark Magic by Kreama Suzuki on deviantART.

Caro and Katie are off this week and therefore you are stuck with my opinions (which sucks for all these people, since I go to art college). Anyways, I’m a huge fan of anime done right, which this is. The extreme perspective looks pretty awesome and the colors are just right. I love how the other characters appear on his magic cards btw.

651: The Lightning Thief by Minmuchan on deviantART.

Okay so I know this is a quick sketch, but it’s still pretty amazing. Yes the hands could use some work, but that’s the hardest part damnit. I really love the sketch quality and the pure fact that the artist wrote probably a page of text onto her paper by hand, is thumbs up in my book. It really adds to the chaotic feel that the image has… even if it isn’t proportionally perfect. It’s art damnit.

Nico Di Angelo by 4 Ever Freedom on deviantART.

This artwork has some really cool pen work. I hate pens since the work you do is so permanent and i’m a perfectionist at heart. This artist has a really good head for colors and shadows. While the artist could use some anatomy lessons, overall I think this is a really strong piece. That skull is awesome btw, just saying.

Nereid by Samshank0453 on deviantART.

I’m almost 100% sure that this was done in photoshop or some other digital illustration program. Considering this person goes to an art design college and this was for a Illustration Concepts class, I’m going to be brutal. The perspective is incredible accurate here and the hair flows beautifully, but I almost wish it wasn’t so green (but hey it’s underwater right?). The lighting is beautiful on this piece, but she needs some extreme dark shadows to add contrast.

I really love Percy Jackson for our book club. If you’re interested as well, check out our forum post HERE.

What do you think of the fan art? Are you impressed by any of these artist? I know I am.

This week Katie and I are bringing you a special Fan Art Madness dedicated to the women of some of our favorite supernatural books. They are strong in so many ways and have friends that love them. They are leaders and even in some stories the hope to survive. Enjoy!

Sookie Stackhouse by Nikie

I like the way her hair is done, the different shades of color give every curl its own movement. The proportion of her head with the look in her face gives her quite an attitude; no vampire will mess with Sookie Stackhouse. I like the author’s technique and every detail she put, even the bloody red background gives it its own style. (Caro)

Spell Time with Rachel, Ceri 2 by ValerieJB on DeviantArt.

This piece is so detailed, it’s amazing! Everything from the writing in Rachel’s spell book, to Mr. Fish on the window sill. It also captures everyone really well, Rachel always trying to learn more, Jenks and his love of honey, and the pixies getting into mischief. And to top it all off, the artist did this with only a mouse, now that’s talent! (Katie)

Wings: Laurel by oceanstarlet on DeviantArt.

I like how the author of the piece drew Laurel’s wings and gave it that sort of faerie dust around her makes you think of a real faerie. The colors used stay true to the book cover and that is really good when you’re drawing a fictional character for the first time, you have a source of inspiration. (Caro)

Wolf Gang by ebas on DeviantArt.

I always enjoy pencil drawings, I think this one might have to be one of my favorites. It totally catches the essence of Mercy, throughout her life shes been surrounded by wolf packs. Also the detail in this piece is great. (Katie)

What do you think of today’s Fan Art Madness? Who else would you like to see in the Supernatural Women?

This week Caro and guest contributor OBS staff member Rose, are bringing you the last edition of Fan Art Madness “Lost”. Today’s pieces are a little different than we’ve done in the past, today we are posting art that was recently showcased at Gallery 1988 . Enjoy!

The first one showing Juliet, Sayid and the polar bear, shows a lot of elements of the show (Rose).

I agree with Rose on this one, it does show a lot of elements, which makes it kind of busy. I find myself drawn to Juliet and Sayid because everything else is so dark. (Katie)

Shows the different experiments they do (Rose).

Very moody (Rose).

This is a good representation of what the mysteries smoke monster would look like ;) I like the texture of the smoke and how the artist made it look different than just a smoke cloud separating it from the sky background. The water and little bird are also a good touch, makes you think what other thing than terrorizing the losties does it do. (Caro)

What did you think of this weeks art? Which is your favorite?
