Pretty Things, Some of my favorite pieces of art

[Stomorel]

Edit: the links don't show up a different color. Usually, when I've put the name of the artist, or a site, or said "here," it's a link. o.O

I thought I would share some of my favorite artwork-y items. All digital or traditional paintings. If there are some YOU would like to share, grab a photobucket account, upload them there, and post them here. Or just link us to them.
PLEASE include a link to the place where you found the artwork. If you don't know who did it, just say so.

The first is by an artist on deviantart named Bakenius. The link to the original image is here.



The second image is moderately NSFW, so I'm going to just give you the link to it. It's by Tim Landry over at deviantart. You can find the image here.

The third and fourth images are by Hoang Minh Le, who goes by the name AURORY on deviantart. He is one of my favorite, FAVORITE dA artists. I love him. He also did a digital painting tutorial for painting lips, which you can find here, and one for eyes, which may be found here.

So, without further ado, I present:



and



The next piece of work is by Marta Dahlig, who goes by Blackeri on dA. She's doing a set of digital paintings on the seven deadly sins, each one gloriously detailed and amazingly painted. Envy, that's my sin. I'll put Sloth in this thread, but here are the links to AVARICE, LUST, ENVY, and VANITY.



Next up, Linda Bergkvist, whose deviantART account can be found here. I'm going to post no less than three (3!!) pictures by this woman, because she's amazing. The first two are on deviantART, the third is from CGSociety, which does massive contests for massive prizes. REALLY GOOD ART. So here you go:





and the grand finale:



That's enough for today, I think. Feel free to add on to this thread if you find digital paintings that you really, really like. If they're NSFW, just post links. Whoot.

Where's Imriela right now? She's totally in love with Linda Bergkvist. In fact, that last image is from the Master/Servant challenge at CGTalk, right? Imriela did one with squirrels that I loved.

And I am totally in love with blackeri's dresses on the Sins. Love love love.

Lots of love in this post.

I like the last one because of the birdies and the cute mouse. And the lesbians. Lesbians are always good. Plus it's very Phedre/Melisande.




But the dead bird near the bottom depresses me.

this guy is quite honestly my favorite artist

Amyblu, who is the artist for that picture? It seems Royo-esque, but without being too caught up in aesthetics (which can be rather refreshing!).
