Guh.

trickofthedark is a talented artist, who does lovely Potter fanart as well as originals, sometimes on commission.

She's just posted her latest commissioned original fantasy art here. (Scroll down a bit to the blue pants closeup; or go here to the full picture directly.)

Well, it will come as a surprise to no one that I absolutely adore this picture. (Buff. Sword. Hair. Codpiece. Dig? *g* )

She has other original fantasy art here and her fannish stuff is here. Why is it that the Potterverse attracts such terrific artists, I wonder?

Of her fantasy art, I particularly like her gorgeously curvy Mother Nature (not entirely worksafe), this mysterious picture and this
unusual courtship, but they're all very well done, although sometimes a bit too cute for my taste.

Thank you ever so much for pointing me at her! That is some very cool art! I might have to be vain and comish a drawing of me.

You're welcome!

Go for it. If I were you, I'd go the whole hog and ask her to make me into a centaur or an elf. With nifty clothing, naturally. :-)

I don't know that I'd want to be drawn as an elf or centaur. I'm not one, if I were anything but what I am I think I would be one of the many Russian creatures that look human but is not.

Ohh! Thanks for the links. ( I have to admit it, Elfwood is kind of intimidating with its sheer size and amount of artists ).

I clicked all the way through her original art and was very impressed by her busty satyrs. But funnily enough it was 'Sema' ( the Dancing Elf, I think, and with glasses no less ) that became my favorite. I never knew elfs were into belly-dancing?

But the most hilarious thing is the dialog on top of the Dudelsack-pic.

... Suffice to say the instrument looks like a piglet impaled through the head with a reed pipe and it sounds like a piglet run through a mangle.'

'Oh. How do you play it?'

'You blow into the chanter and squeeze the pig in your armpit.

Oh, I agree - I've never had the patience to browse all those galleries, I just go to the people I have seen stuff by.

I like the bellydancer a lot too; she's so alive and happy.

But the most hilarious thing is the dialog on top of the Dudelsack-pic.

Hee! I hadn't seen that yet, that's great.
