God of Fire by aaorin/yanagoya (SFW)

[omens]

Fandom: Thor
Characters/Pairing/Subject: Loki portrait
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital painting
Artist on DW/LJ: yanagoya (NSFW)
Artist Website/Gallery: most-to-least updated: tumblr (yanagoya, NSFW), deviantArt (aaorin, SFW if you are not a member/logged in/set up to display nudity), and yanagoya (NSFW)
Why this piece is awesome: Awesome use of light. Her tumblr is worth a perusal (if you're not at work, loool) - I don't generally go in for explicit art but she has some nice sketches (Fenrir!) throughout!

Looking for reccers for upcoming months

[ratcreature]

There are still some days left in November, but it's time for our regular reccer recruiting post, and to look ahead to the next month. So far we have four volunteer reccers who signed up for December with these fandoms:

* Age of Sail (busaikko)
* Bandom (sylvaine)
* Harry Potter (thady)
* Hunger Games (omens)

So we already have a few recs too look forward to in December, but it would of course be awesome if we had more recs. There is still plenty of opportunity for you to jump in and volunteer to rec next month (or to convince your friends to do some reccing). And many cheers for all of our members who volunteer to rec, especially if you rec regularly.

Looking even further ahead so far only one reccer has volunteered for January, so that month could use some love (and recs! *g*) too. It'll be an ideal time to rec all the awesome art that will have come out of the seasonal exchanges! So please consider reccing in a fandom of your choice, whether small or huge, and comment on the sign-up post and volunteer for December, January or even further ahead if you are so well organized, that you know your fannish interests and time commitments in advance. It's only four recs as a minimum, and you can rec any genre or rating. Or promote us to your friends or in your favorite communities so others do the work.

(Comments here are disabled, because I want to bundle volunteering in the sign-up post so that nothing gets lost, and you can see the list of claimed slots there too.)

"Untitled" by massicot (Hermione/Tonks)

[woldy]

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Hermione/Tonks
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: unspecified digital
Artist on DW/LJ: previously massicot on LJ. That journal has since been deleted, & although the artist has a new DW / LJ it's for professional work & I'm doubtful about whether the artist would like his/her current journal to be linked to the old one & most of the artist's fanart is now archived at bitbitbot on LJ (apologies for long explanation)
Why this piece is awesome: This is a a really fun artwork that depicts the women in lovely nineteenth century costumes, bold colours (everything is in shades of red or pink), and playful gender roles. I love this image of butch!Tonks, Hermione in a corset, and the two of them tussling over the pimp!cane :-D.
