PotC Recs Weekly #1

Ladies, Gentlemen and Pirates, an announcement before we'll go to goodies.
With this issue, the recs officially become a weekly periodical and change the formula a bit. Issues will be shorter - you mentioned that they take a lot of time, and it's better to underfeed than to surfeit in this matter - and mostly unthematic. Every time you want, you can came back to any of them via the masterlist, with the permanent link on my profile. Let me know your opinion on this change. Maybe you have some wishes?


So, let's go? Let me start with three from among my most beloved fanarts. :)

The Magical Pencil by D17rulez

I can imagine the mile long queue for hiring of that pencil...

Drunk by Dawn by kheelan

I really don't know what I love more, Barbossa's downtrodden hat, the little rascal curled on his lap, the flood of light, or just the general air of the morning after a really eventful night...

follow the king by briannacherrygarcia aka [livejournal.com profile] bri_chan

Some (all?) of you surely knows this artist. For me, Lizzie's expression and her general air is what makes this picture. Sure, you don't have to follow the king, it's your choice. Yep, keep telling it to yourself.

So, anyone willing to see more recs? :)

I'm all for the change! That's very true about the time constraints: I still haven't managed to get 'round to chekecking out a few weeks' worth of recs... Much less undrstand how you found the time to compile those (awesome) lists. =) So glad you're continuing with the fanart goodies. The masterlist is going straight => to bookmarks.

I've seen kheelan's work before, and it's one of my favourite pictures too. And that 'Magickal Pencil' thing by D17rulex? So dreamy it's haunting.

Good to hear that's change for the better, thanks, I was anxious a bit! I'm also very glad that the masterlist is useful.

Experience with dA + catching things I run across, when the opportunity occurs. ;) Most of the material was collected before, the posting schedule was more or less ready long ago, the today's entry including.

Kheelan is awesome! There's more wonderful PotC fanarts in his gallery, but I love 'Drunk by Dawn' the best.

'The Magical Pencil' makes one dream... *g* *floats away into dreams*

Thanks, good to hear it!

Really really pleased about the masterlist and shorter updates - I often had to leave your posts for a while because of time constraints, or even ignore some of the offerings, but with three or so pics/artists to explore I can do justice to them!

I did enjoy the themes you chose - and maybe some pictures are better appreciated in the context of similar things in which case I expect you'll give us mini-theme!

I love the Magic Pencil one. Not just the execution of the picture but the underlying idea!

I'm glad it turned out a good idea. I don't give up themes, but they will be speciall issues, not usual ones.

I'm always fascinated by this sort of art, like Escher's drawing (http://www.mcescher.com/Gallery/back-bmp/LW355.jpg) or this one (http://shimoda7.deviantart.com/art/Prisoner-of-my-own-33234157), and 'The Magic Pencil' is the most similar to this idea fanart I know, no wonder I like it.

It definitely reminded me of Escher as soon as I saw it!

Do it anyway you want to, so long as you keep doing it!

It's really great to hear that! :-D
