I am currently working on a full book review of the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, but I figured I should probably put something up here in the meantime.
So here are a few of my favorite images that I have collected.
None of them are mine, but I enjoy looking at them.
They are in no particular order.
Wind Okami: Okami is a video game I have never played, but the artwork alone from this game is unique and inspiring - I will have to find it someday. The game follows the mission of Amaterasu, the sun goddess, of her quest to save the world from a dark deamon using the Celestial Brush. Strange, I know, but a cool concept. Throughout her quest, many deities help her. In this image, she is in a form guided by the diety of the Wind.
Dragon Fire: I like the amount of detail in this image. The dragon's design is simple, but well shadowed. The deep red goes well with the beam of fire coming out his mouth and the dark background lights the dragon up in a contrast I don't see very often. I have know idea where I got this one. I think I just searched "dragon" and google images got me this one at somepoint.
Okami Soaring: An other Okami picture. This time in her own form. This picture reminds of my dog - cept the ears aren't big enough. I love the coloring and the style - both make for a powerful presentation in color and shape.
Fantasy Dragon: I find this picture particualrily eerie, but magical at the same time. The ambiant light is superb and the creature in question makes me think of the Owl from The Secret of NIMH - very cool.
Starbuck's Recuiting Bid: Yes. I'm obssesed with BSG (Battlestar Galactica). I am certainly very fond of Katee Sackhoff's character in the new series Captain Kara Thrace, or her viper-pilot call-sign "Starbuck". I found this poster sporting the character's final words of Season 2 ("fight 'em until we can't") on a BSG fansite and imediately fell in love with it.
It would cerainly recruit me into the Colonial Fleet. Wouldn't it do the same for you?
"Those Dang Fireflies": I found this wallpaper on deviantart somewhere and it was posted as my wallpaper for the majority of my exams in university because it embodied all of my emotion at the time: complete and utter misery. The cat's face is priceless and the fact that it's raining is the whipped cream on top. Brilliant design, great color - I love it.
Paint the World: I don't even know where I found this one, but I like the idea regardless. For me, it's implying that you can change the world with art - fill in the blanks in human understanding with beauty from yourself in every stoke of a brush. It's a calm, beautiful image - something that makes me feel better.
White Wolf Spirit: One of the images I could have put on my earlier post about my blog name, but thought it was too calm for what I wanted to exlplain about myself in that text. I found it on a site full of Native American Art. It's a majestic picture that proposes nobility and vigilence of self.
