Boromir by Zuzana (SFW)

[incognitajones]

Fandom: Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Boromir on the walls of Gondor
Content Notes/Warnings: n/a
Medium: watercolours?
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: Tumblr, Instagram
Why this piece is awesome: This artist's work has a charming, fairytale style which reminds me of some of the Tolkien art from the 60s and early 70s. The sweeping lines of Boromir's standard and the intricate pattern of his armour are lovely, while the simple design of his face still conveys a great deal of character and resolve.

looking for reccers for upcoming months & open reccing

[ratcreature]

It's time for our regular reccer recruiting post, and to look ahead to the next month. So far we have ONE volunteer reccer who has signed up for September with this fandom:

* Good Omens (mific)

So while we already have a few recs to look forward to in September, it would of course be awesome if we had some 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. Your valiant repeat efforts keep the comm alive.

Looking even further ahead so far NO reccer has volunteered for October, so that month definitely still needs some love (and recs! *g*) too. So please consider reccing in a fandom of your choice, whether small or huge, and comment on the sign-up post and volunteer for September, October 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.

Open Rec Posting

The monthly open reccing period for all members starts now and lasts until the end of August. Since the general prompts don't seem to work as inspiration, I've decided to stop adding them, but to keep the open reccing period in case anyone wants to slip a rec in, without having to come up with three others for a fandom. However the recs do still have to conform to the usual rec format and follow the rules for what is allowed to be recced here.

(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.)
