Medium: traditional art - coloured pencils
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: zahra-art on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: Quickly slipping in a final Old Guard pic as it's still August in many places. This is a lovely coloured pencil artwork of Joe kissing Nicky's forehead. The pencil-work is masterful and the colours are gorgeous, almost luminous in places. And of course, the emotion in the piece is intense.

Untitled ("What If") by Fernacular (SFW)

Fandom: The Old Guard
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject:Yusuf al Kaysani/Nicolo di Genova
Content Notes/Warnings: Not deathfic, given the immortality thing, but grief and pining.
Medium: digital art
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: fernacular's art tag on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: This is a powerful and heartrending piece, beautifully painted. As the artist says, “what if Nicky was thrown in the ocean instead of Quynh?” So here's Joe alone on a beach with both their swords and Nicky's crucifix.

Why this piece is awesome: This is a simple piece of Andy and Booker talking in a library, but the use of colour and value is striking. I love the complementary pale yellow and purple-blue colours, and the values contrast between the central sun-struck area and the darker purple stacks is masterful.
