Fandom: Star Trek Discovery
Character: Michael Burnham

Artist on DW/LJ: -
Artist Website/Gallery: lornaka and lorna-ka. She also has a few speed paintings on Youtube: here.
Why this piece is awesome: This is an early Michael (recognizable by the Vulcanesque straight hairdo) drawn in a cartoon style. I love that we see her smiling here. The colours and lighting make this a beautiful piece. I'm imagining that this is set during episode one or even pre-series. (Just as an aside, go check out Lorna's Star Wars art too! She has a pin-up calendar. Just saying.)

There is so much cool art, but I'll try to first make a rec for each of the characters before I'm doubling up.

Why this piece is awesome: Sorry to be late starting with the recs for this month, but I'll make up for it! This is a dramatic picture by two artists collaborating, and it's a bit unusual in showing T'Challa in an African savannah setting rather than the more common claws-bared action poses - we'll get to those! I like the colours a lot, with the golden, hazy plain behind him. I think markhroberts painted all of the background, as that isn't lineart. Excellent dramatic lighting as well.
