Artists to Check Out

Some more bits and pieces of art I've found around the Web.
Top Hat and Goggles: No artist information on the tumblr, just a love of Steampunk aesthetic. If anyone can give me information about the artist, I'll update this post. But this picture is all kinds of win.

Anna Maystrenko: I have to admit, the demon girls with little tiny wings coming out of their heads is something I've never been able to wrap my head around. I mean, what's that all about? (Asks the guy who accepts that the little tiny wings on the Submariner's feet let him fly.) Regardless, this is a beautiful picture. And, actually, everything on Ms. Maystrenko's site is beautiful.

Karl Liversidge: Phenomenally beautiful portrait work. His DC ladies are breathtaking. (Also, I've just realized that I've already featured Mr. Liversidge in one of my artists posts. It was bound to happen, I guess.)

Artists to Check Out

Been a little while, so here's some more great comics-style art from around the Web.

Sergey Ishmaev: Mr. Ishmaev's art is indicative of this interesting style that combines the cartoony, the super-stylized, and the sexy all in one place. Puts me in mind of Skottie Young, though with less tiny versions of superheroes.

 

Karl Liversidge: A very different style from Mr. Liversidge. The violet eyes, pursed lips, just a beautiful picture, a slight hint of amusement, Mona Lisa-style going on in this expression.

Ashley Odell: I'm not sure why, but I can imagine a whole animated sequence, Fantasia-style, in Ms. Odell's beautiful hand. I wonder about the idea of "iconic abstraction" that McCloud coined and others have elaborated upon when it comes to such stylized figures. We still recognize them as bodies, and beautiful ones, even though they bear almost no resemblance to reality. Though reality's often overrated, really.
