So bandom has some seriously talented artists, and bandombigbang is their time to shine. There's been some amazing art posted this year--so much, in fact, that I'll probably need to make three or four rec posts for it.

First up is theopteryx's art (MCR, Frank/Gerard, G) for You Don't Know a Thing About My Sins by criminalsofwar. I highly suggest checking out the fullsize of this one. Her use of color is always so amazing, and I love the weights of her lines. And Frank lighting Gerard's cigarette! Such an awesome illustration.

brille did a great digital painting (G) for oxyidiot's Waiting For the Sun, fullsize here. I love the super-restricted color palette, and the atmosphere it evokes. This feels like a magical, lonely place full of all sorts of secrets.

speep did an awesome cast lineup (MCR, G) for mcrnut's Of Love and Superpowers. I have a serious thing for the way speep draws legs, they always have such personality. I love Mikey's toaster and Ray's feet! And the little "approved by the comics code authority" sticker, such a great detail! Ooh, and how Frank's shadow has a little bit missing because of the fireball! Nice.

leatherteal drew the most adorable illustrations (MCR, PATD, TYV, Ryan/Ray, Spencer/Bob/Brendon, PG) for clarityhiding and okubyo_kitsune's There's Something in the Water Cooler (Or Maybe It's Just Love). Bob and his cat calendar! Restaurant Wednesdays! Spencer's face in the last drawing, seriously! In more artsy news, I love her lines. Seriously, seriously love. And everything is stylized but you can still tell exactly who everyone is and what they're feeling, which is difficult to do!

nasssty_slyth drew five amazing pieces (PATD, Spencer/Brendon, PG) for sunsetmog's A Presumption of Functionality. The level of detail in these is just incredible. I'm a particular fan of Brendon in his workroom with Spencer peering around the door, but all five are just fantastic.

desticex created a great piece (The Used, G) for schneestern's Possibilities in Basic Space. I love the colors in this, how muted they are and how they fade into each other. I love the strong horizontal lines, the broken fence curled on the ground, and I really love the marbled texture she used.

Check all this stuff out, I promise you won't regret it!
