Fine Art - Fan Art

[thedothatgirl]

So a while back I had a tinker with some photoshop manips.  Nothing ' dangly'  or NSFW because I'm not that proficient ;) -  this was initially due to a contest prompt at still_grrr  and then I was reminded  recently when lovely rua1412  updated her layout with some fine art.    So I went and dug out some paintings by Artists of which I am particularly fond and here we are!   The whedonverse meets the art world.

A little taster  'Echo' (or Faith if you prefer) as Isabella and the Pot of Basil (Holman-Hunt)  I was very fortunate to attend the massive Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition (twice) at the Tate back in '84 and saw this amongst others and can say that it certainly left an impression.  Click the thumb to see full size.



More under the cut Willow by Vermeer    Buffy by Waterhouse
Xander by Caravaggio

  And there's four more here   . I did have fun making them, I've a couple half finished and I'm on the lookout for some that will work for more of  the men of the verse.

Lovely works!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you

[rua1412.livejournal.com]

Oh my!!!!
Those are wonderful! I can't chose among them.. but I think the F/W one and the Buffy one are my favorite!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I enjoyed making these - I do need to find some more so I can do more men of the verse :)

[rua1412.livejournal.com]

I have a suggestion.. why you don't create a Willow/Spike/Angel banner for me???
Yeah I know it's totally disenterested LOL

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

I am working on a Boticelli Venus and Mars at the moment - Mars/Angel is done but I've yet to do 'Venus' or one of the cherubs....

Or if I can find something else that will work with the 3 of them unless you know of a painting that you want me to try ? And as long as you don't mind waiting a little while.

Oh Venus is a redhead... so Willow should fit the ticket ^_^

Take all the time you'll need, of course. I sadly can't help you with a painting right now.

Oh wow, those are really awesome. I can't decide if Buffy or Faith is my favorite. Amazing work!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks DC :) - If only I'd painted the whole pictures. Something a little different which made it fun

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. these are amazing. i can't handle this. i want all fan art to be like this forever. oh my god. the - wow. i have nothing to say!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Heee! thanks Jessie, it's great when two things I love come together and don't look entirely crap :D

I so need to get to London this summer and go to some galleries!

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]

yeah! i went to the Portrait Gallery in London. i totally loved it.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Silly isn't it I've been to the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square countless times which is right next to it but never been to the Portrait Gallery (I should do that one next)

[obiwahn.livejournal.com]

The Willow one is just amazing! Also really love the Faith one.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) The Faith one is my favourite...

[suechosethis.livejournal.com]

I love these - very well done.
Willow in particular is exquisite!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Absolutely stunning! And so, so creative and skilled.

I wish I had a suitable icon but I don't so you'll have to make do with a Torchwood Team clap. :D

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

A round of applause from team Torchwood does very nicely thank you.

And I'm so pleased you liked them, as you know my creations can be a little 'different' :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I don't know about 'different' they certainly are creative. I love all your art and whichever style you do. You're the master! :D

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

*blushes* thank you so much!

Coming from someone I consider a creative genius and as my vidding inspiration that's a massive compliment.:D
