[Art] #10 for [info]fanart50
Cat: KITY DEMANDS SACRIFICE

Fandom: The Authority
Character: Apollo
Rating: G
Artist's notes: Opted this time for an individual piece (though there will be a solely Midnighter-centric companion piece for this in the future) because I really ... really liked the idea of Apollo floating in the air, just caught up in the feeling of absorbing the sunlight. Also, tried using the gradient shading technique, except that I didn't have a clue what I was doing -_-







*gurgles* Why can't I stop listening to Cher??? O_o

Apollo is so very shiny. *looks at shiny*

He's such a sun worshiper slut, but we like him that way.

*titters* Well, he did kind of make out with 'the sun', didn't he? *points to your icon*

RE: Intention to have all your babies


*twiddles fingers weakly* But .. but ... I've promised my first born for consumption by another T_T

YOU KNOW HE DOES! XD Or comes close, anyway. Mmmmm, sun ...

I like the idea of how you had one of him very bright and facing the light, but still had a portion of him in shadows. *thumbs up!*

Thank you!! I thought it was nifty too, that, and I was just feeling too lazy to draw in the straps and boot and crap on the other arm ^__^;;

Oh, my.

I really love how the uniform's working out. I liked the redesign conceptually, but to be honest I was skeptical at first whether it would look Apollo-ish enough. Here, you've still managed to define his muscles and the fact that he's a big, potentially-scary guy (who's having the time of his life) without his usual peep show.

Also, that expression? Midnighter is so getting laid today, isn't he?

*giggles* THE POWER OF THE SUN in his pants!! XD

I absolutely adore your use of light and shadows! And the shiny. The shiny really makes me happy.

*squees* Thank you! Everybody loves shinies ^_^

GAH SO PRETTY! Seriously, your colouring is as perfect as your lineart.

Also, um, last night I started colouring your card on the computer cos I needed to take a break from watercolours cos I was getting paintbrush RSI and is that okay? It's not as good as this but like, er, yeah. THEY WERE JUST TOO PRETTY AND GOING, "Adora! You know you want to colour us!" and I was like, "Yes! I am but a mere human and you are pretty gay superheroes and therefore I am unable to resist!"

Um *cough*...

*laughs* Seriously, they're yours to do with as you wish ^_^ Now I'm just sorry I didn't give you nicer lineart to work with but, you know .. pressed for time and all that ^_^;;

Anyhoo, thank you!

*stares*

Exquisite!

You're definitely feeding the plot bunny!

*stares again*

Gorgeous!

*melts*

*gasp* Is it .. is it .. THE plot bunny?? Of which [info]azarias speaks?? For so help me, I will make it my duty to STUFF that bunny like a Thanksgiving turkey!!!

Wow, you really impress me. I was a one fandom girl, but your art makes makes me wander.

*eerie voice* Join us .. JOIN US ...!

Oh Apollo, you're such a hottie. (Except when the artists switch and you end up looking all chunky.) I love this piece, it's gorgeous.

...And I blame you entirely for getting me into another fandom, you know. If it weren't for your art, I doubt I would've even heard of Apollo and Midnighter.


That makes me happier than you may realize. Hooray, fresh blood for the slaughter another member to the fandom!! XD

Oh wow, that's beautiful. I think you did great with the shading! And the way the light just hits off of him... wow. This is marvelous.

Gods... ...That expression... *fans self* You're going to cause me to lust after Apollo at this rate. And I usually like my guys girlier than I am.

And if I could fly, I'd so hang like that. It looks so pleasant.

*giggles* Guilty confession time: Me too ^_^ Generally speaking, my original boy charas are super-girly. Apollo though ... well, I suppose he's just as girly as it gets in the world of comic book heroes, Buff McBigster though he is -_- Anyway. Always happy to push the Apollo lust!

gyah bah.

::gropes Vejiita and Apollo::

I already said how gorgeous this is. It is beautiful. It's powerful, despite what should be a vulnerable pose, and the gradient shading turned out lovely and effective. The edge of light highlighting the shadow is good, it adds somethign to the piece, a dimension it didn't have in the flat tone.

I love his new uniform. Er... hoe you don't mind, but the rp I'm in, he's going off to find someone to design him a uniform similar to this after a falling with Jeroen over 'everyone being able to see you're not Jewish in that thing'. I fell in love with this uniform. It's much more sensible and less 'I'm making you wear this because I'm a creepy pervy bendix'.

Thank you, and I certainly don't mind at all ^^

What I MIND is that now I have a mental image of creepy pervy!Bendix giving Apollo a tiny abbreviated lolicon French maid's uniform to wear while on base.

"It's your uniform, you have to!"
"But my wing-wong doesn't fit in the panties!"
"IRRELEVANT!"

Butt!

Yeah, you can tell it's good because I'm not the first one to mention the sungasm. I love that the theme is Power but recharging his power makes him look completely rapeable open.

Sungasm. The word I am now going to use every time I explain Apollo's recharging scenario ^_^

Makes sense, in a way. The only power stronger than his--he'd have to bottom be completely open and receptive to it.

Oh I know that expression, that feeling, I get that when I'm dancing. I feel all connected to Apollo now, only he worships the sun while I worship the boogy. :) I wonder if the sun pulses through him the same way. I really like his boots in this one, and his bottom is of course, completely squee worthy. Bravo.

I almost called this "Sun dance", because I thought the feeling Apollo might get from absorbing of the sun's light could be connected to the sort of 'in your own world' feeling some people get while dancing. Except that I also imagined him being completely stationary in midair, so that might've been inappropriate ^_^;; But yessssss, I love the connection!

This is amazing. I think it perfectly expresses Apollo's relationship to the sun: both master and servant to it, I think.

Plus, your above conversation about where the Midnighter is tanned is guaranteed to keep my mind in the gutter all night long.

*grin*

You and me both, man. Midnighter's tanned naughty bits haven't left my mind for most of the day. For better or worse.

Really nice way of putting it, the thing with the sun. Wish I'd thought of it, though I'm more than happy my silly picture apparently put that forth ^_^ Thank you for the lovely feedback!

im totally new to the fandom and the comic books, but i've got to say... i love your art so, so, so much. i even like it better than most of the art that's in the comic books. lovely!

*squishes you* D'aww, so sweet! I'd respond in the affirmative about some of the comic art, but at the risk of sounding too egotistical, I'll just say thank you ^__^

If listening to Cher makes you do this, you are never allowed to stop.

I don't think it was even the Cher, but man ... I really can't stop listening to her! O_o

wow. this looks unbelievable gorgeous. the colouration reminds me of the better colouration of dc/marvel comics. how did you do it?
the gradient shading looks good, even if you won't believe it. :D

Flatterybear ^_^ Just a lot of multiply layers and the lasso & gradient fill tools. Tedious work.

Very, very, very pretty. Very.

*droooooooools* That is very beautiful. Absolutely amazing!

I like your Apollo Art, I was wondering it I could post iy on my site under fan art? and any other authority art as well? striker@herochronicle.com


Cheers
Chris

*nods* Absolutely! All I ask is proper crediting ^_^

All my other Authority stuff can be found through here: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=vejiita4eva&keyword=:My+Art:&filter=all
Either it'll be labelled with Authority names or "fanart50" will be mentioned.

Oh pretty! i wish i could fly

Oh, this is just gorgeous. And, yes, the expression. And the body language. And, for some reason known only to my lizard-brain, his left ankle.

In short, I'm with [info]kiri_moth.
