Untitled NaruGaa comic by kosmonauttihai (SFW)

[sylvaine]

Fandom: Naruto
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Sabaku no Gaara/Uzumaki Naruto
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital
Artist on DW/LJ: kosmonauttihai
Artist Website/Gallery: on pixiv | kosmonauttihai | artist website | original art tag on tumblr | fanart tag on tumblr | art ship ask tumblr: ask-narugaa
Why this piece is awesome: This is one of my favourite artists and definitely my favourite NaruGaa artist. It took me a long time to decide on which piece of art to rec here, but in the end I settled on this. (Either way you should definitely check out the rest of the ask blog and also their art tags if you're so inclined!) I really like the black and white shading of the comic, and the topic of the comic - a short chance to catch up after Naruto and Co. save Gaara from the Akatsuki at the beginning of Shippuuden - is adorable. Most of all, though, I adore expressions in this comic - the excitement and the tenderness and the surprise - and also the style of the characters - the artist has taken the canon characters and reinterpreted them in their own style and I think it works fantastically well and makes the characters five times more endearing to me.

The Wedding by LiviaWeasley (fairly SFW)

[mific]

I've been very scattered this month with posting, despite all intentions. But I'm squeezing a last couple of posts in as it's still June somewhere.

Fandom: Outlander
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Claire and Jamie
Content Notes/Warnings: Jamie's bare chest features, but it's largely SFW.
Medium: Traditional art, drawing, graphite.
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: LiviaWeasley on DA
Why this piece is awesome: This is a lovely soft drawing of a tender moment from the Wedding episode. Jamie's expression is especially well captured.

Jamie Fraser from Outlander by SorahShibao and lahmiaraven (SFW)

[mific]

Fandom: Outlander
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Jamie Fraser
Content Notes/Warnings: not really, although there's a fair amount of ripped torso visible.
Medium: pencil drawing and the inked version.
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: SoraShibao on DA and lamiahraven on DA
Why this piece is awesome: Going out on a bang, with a beefcake pic of Jamie. This version of him is from the books and predates the TV series, so it's interesting to see a different take on what he might look like. Apparently, very hot, and the half-open kilt's pretty tantalising. Very clean lines in comic book style (the artists are in that field) and the inked version in particular is well worth enlarging.
