Awkward Family Photos: Asgard Edition by sairobee (SFW)

[omens]

Fandom: Thor
Characters/Pairing/Subject: Odin & Family
Content Notes/Warnings: no warnings
Medium: digital drawing
Artist on DW/LJ: not afaik
Artist Website/Gallery: sairobee's thor art tag on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: it is hilarious (poor Loki). A lot of sairobee's art is hilarious (The Little Thormaid? Heimdall! Avengers x Mean Girls!) but she has a few just plain really pretty pieces like Lady Loki (top of the Thor tag) and Loki with Fenrir.... her various art tags are great.

Steampunk Dalek by promus-kaa (SFW)

[busaikko]

Fandom: Dr Who
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Dalek
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium:
Artist Website/Gallery: promus-kaa @ deviantart
Why this piece is awesome: The essential elements are contained in the title! It's a page ripped out of a Victorian-era tome, featuring a detailed line drawing of a steam-powered, gear-driven Dalek. (As well, the summary has a nice little AU scenario and some meta re Dalek vs Cyberman ideas of style, and a fan of the fanart has done up some awesome CG and CG videos of the steampunk Dalek in action.)

[mific]

Fandom: Sleeping Beauty (Disney)
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Maleficent (the final in this series, just before it stops being November where I am)
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: "I used a canson paper called 'mi-teintes pastel', I also used prisma colored pencils, (HB click pencil for the actual drawing) and some acylic paint and dyes."
Artist on DW/LJ: just on DA

Why this piece is awesome: It's another pretty scary piece of an especially evil Maleficent (kind of a fusion with The Joker), done with brilliant use of pastels (click to enlarge it to full size to see what I mean).
