Troy x Abed Kiss (SFW), by inksnax
Greetings! I'm starting my month of Community fanart recs with a beautiful piece about my favorite 'ship.
Subject: Troy x Abed Kiss
Fandom: Community
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Troy Barnes/Abed Nadir (SFW)
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Medium: Digital art: painting and airbrushing

Why this piece is awesome: Troy and Abed's relationship is very central to the show, and the way they relate to one another often involves fantasy, storytelling, and play. One of the (many) things the show does well is suggest a rich and complex life for the two of them that extends beyond what we see in the episodes. This piece expresses those things beautifully, both in the way they are dressed in superhero costumes and in the visual design. The framing of the painting with the makeshift curtains of their bunk-bed alcove invites us to peek into the secret world of Troy and Abed. I love the way the strong light behind them casts them in shadow, and that we see them just before the moment that they kiss. The colors, with the predominant blues and violets, are dream-like and lovely.
The piece also parallels the show's frequent use of metacommentary--while Abed has actually dressed up as Batman in an episode, Troy-as-Spiderman suggests the Twitter campaign to have Donald Glover audition for the role as Peter Parker.
