Why this piece is awesome: It's such a lovely peaceful concept, and the soft blue-green watercolor-style coloring really emphasizes that.

Why this piece is awesome: I find rebel!Karkat fascinating, and this picture captures him really well. I especially love the red lighting and the ominous army of trolls in the background.

Why this piece is awesome: This piece is just completely heartwrenching. The artist draws Gamzee's anguish so well.

Why this piece is awesome: This picture shows different sides of Jade in panels forming the Sburb logo. It's a cool idea and looks great. There are more pictures in the same series for John, Rose, Dave and the trolls.

Why this piece is awesome: This image perfectly captures the power and tragedy of that scene in canon, and that they're holding hands emphasizes it even more.

Why this piece is awesome: Sketchcard versions of the trolls except Gamzee. I love the choice of symbols, their expressions and the colors: very expressive and a great look at the characters.

Why this piece is awesome: This piece is beautiful: green-blue-white, calm but not still, and cold in a non-threatening way. I love quiet contemplative Jade on the lily pad, Becsprite flying, and I very much enjoy the scenery.

Why this piece is awesome: PM's journey in chess moves. The art is beautiful, I love the colors and the style, and the story it tells is just perfect. Simply stunning.

Why this piece is awesome: I love the colors of the Land of Light and Rain, and here, with the waves and the rain and the lightning strings, they make the picture wonderfully vibrant. Rose is standing on a rock, playing the rain like a violin, and it looks awesome.

Why this piece is awesome: Homestuck has so many main characters that it's even easier than usual to forget about the “sidekicks”. Here they've decided to have their own adventures. It's not only something I really want to see and that promises a lot of fun, it's also very realistically drawn (Homestuck-style.)

Content Notes/Warnings: None
Medium: Animated coloured digital drawing
Artist Website/Gallery: Deeum at Tumblr, dmscv at DeviantArt
Why this piece is awesome: Tavros is adorable and this is an adorable picture of him. The clean lines and bright colours really pop, and while simple the animation is nicely done. I actually slightly prefer Deeum's art of Sollux and Karkat (their grumpiness contrasts amusingly with Deeum's cute happy style) but this seemed like a nice picture to post for today :)

Why this piece is awesome: If I wasn't restricting myself to one picture per artist I could fill this whole recset with Lexxie art. The thing that made me finally decide to check out this Homestuck thing my friends kept squeeing about was Lexxie's cover to the Volume 5 soundtrack. But that's not fanart, and anyway I like this picture even more.

Equius and Aradia are such a messed up, tragic, weird couple, and this picture captures them in all their awesome wrongness. Plus it's just pretty.

Why this piece is awesome: I couldn't decide whether to rec sei-kou-ki's Jade/Karkat art or her Aradia-in-a-suit AU and then she created this Karkat/Jade 30s AU combining some of the things I love from both. I don't really ship Karkat and Jade but I love how she combines Jade's innocent cheer with Karkat's grumpiness, and the simple but expressive art captures the characters and clothing adorably. The pixelated style matches nicely with Homestuck (and having drawn fanart of her art: it's harder than it looks!)

Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Everyone in "Jade: Enter", mostly focussing on Jade and Karkat.
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Medium: Digital painting
Artist Website/Gallery: fanart-freak at DeviantArt (this is their main account, but they have more art at the linked RP accounts especially Karkat Vantas)
Why this piece is awesome: I love fanart-freak's style, it's all sketchy and layered and expressive. I was torn about which of her pictures to link but this collection of images from "Jade: Enter" covers the range of adorableness, angst and beauty really well.

Artist Website/Gallery: jaqhnun at DeviantArt
Why this piece is awesome: This wordless comic is such a gorgeous piece of characterisation, totally capturing PM's change from perky Post Mistress to quietly sad Prime Medicant, even though she's been drawn in a human form.

Why this piece is awesome: I usually find fan paintings stilted and subtly off, but this is gorgeous, the rich dark colours perfect for the darkness of the scene. The expressions and body language are subtle and poignant.
