Art Spotlight: Rainworld [Fanart] by @powerfulmagics

Great job on the atmosphere and the colours. I love the glass so much, I don't know how you got it to look so shiny and reflective. That's really hard to do! And I love the way you interpreted the monsters xD … Those are some positively creepy-looking things in the tanks in the background. Really enamoured of the style in which you drew everything, especially Emma and Regina. This is really good! … woah this is great! Looks like a book cover, yet there's so much detail in it. I'm def intrigued, I shall check out this fic next ;) Thank you! … RANDI THIS IS FREAKING GORGEOUS!!!!!! Where to even start? Asdfghjkl THEIR EXPRESSIONS! You've nailed that wary/calculating/slightly on edge look. And EMMA'S EYES!!! I really love how you drew them! Especially the lower lashes, and the eyeshadow?(maybeit'sjustlightingoops)+sparkles beneath her eyebrows, it really adds effect!! And Regina in a hoodie is life tbh. And they're walking so close to each other omg catch me imagining them holding hands. And like your other piece, THE DETAILS asdfghjkl like I cannot find a single thing about this that isn't perfect (not that I'm trying to hahah) but you've literally nailed every single detail down to the water reflections on the octopus monster I'm sHOOK! You've captured this mysterious/scary vibe perfectly with the glass cages (which are super cool btw), the walls looking old and decayed, that electric machine and especially THE LIGHTING OMG. Like the way you've colored this is so amazing?? You've added shadows perfectly to portray this dimly lit, decaying, probably humid room that tbh would be pretty freaking terrifying to be in hahah. And the window + night outside and the blue light streaming in is such a nice detail! And also the text matches the vibe of the drawing perfectly and really finishes it all off so neatly! Omg I'm super excited to read the fic now and see how it relates to the art but I'm 5000 million light years behind on all things supernova asdfghjkl but I will get there. Someday. … it is pretty perfect from color to their facial expression and the two creatures . Well done as usual ! … hello! your art is beautiful! i love it so much! i adore the way you drew emma and regina, their faces are just priceless i swear. and hair, and all, just wow! and that octopus (???) looks really creepy. really makes me want to read the fic. awesome job!!! … Ooh. I love the cartoonish nature of this drawing. The colors are fabulous, and it fits the fic perfectly!! … This is amazing! wonderful work. … WOW. DUDE. this is literally a spectacular piece omg??? your style is so unique. truly, nobody does it like you, and that's to special tbh. i don't think I tell you that enough and you could definitely stand to hear it more!! because you are SO talented, a real artist!! i literally don't know HOW you do this *__* sooo I'm in love with the expressions on their faces and the backgrounds (the world you're painting them in). it makes me so INTRIGUED for this world and this story! … WILL I EVER GET OVER YOUR STYLE THOUGH. FR, you always blow me away and this one is just so cOOL. It fits the story PERFECTLY and you chose such an interesting/creepy part of the story for the cover too and it just all works so WELL. You captured the atmosphere and the intrigue of the fic a lot and I love having a depiction of the rain monsters omfg. Also your Emma and Regina are AMAZING AS ALWAYS, I love their expressions!!! I was so excited about this fic when I saw it in matchups and I then I was so excited later during reveals to see you had been matched up with it omg WHAT A GREAT COMBO AND THIS AND U ARE AMAZING. … It captures the scene in the story to the “T”. Amazing work! … I love the detail of the scratches on the glass of the tanks! This is gorgeous artwork!

Art Spotlight: Caraluna by @mippippippi!

Holy wow, this is GORGEOUS. The lighting, the textures, every little bit of it. Well done... this is BEAUTIFUL omg i love the galaxy textures in the background and what you've done with light/shadow... so mysterious!... such a wonderful piece!! it's so mystical and dark... I love what you did with the phases of the moon and the otherworldly effects of this cover! The pictures you chose for Emma and Regina really suit their roles in this fic- Emma as this hardened investigator and Regina as a tragic figure consumed by sadness... I really love this, the symbolism is beautifully executed and the colors are just gorgeous!!... Wow this is really gorgeous! The shot of Regina leaning against the moon is AMAZING and this fits the story so well... you captured to story so well in one image, beautiful...
