Feature 160--KBDraws92

Prompt: Valley of the Giants

Here's an amazing piece to start us off with this feature! In the art chat, there are weekly challenges to draw and this is KBDraws' response to one of them.
Can you just imagine crossing the mountaintop to come face to face with these furballs? I'd just be happy that they're both, currently, quite distracted. And just look at how well she painted the grassy mountains! Plus the way the water is splashing with the cat's lapping it up.
Not to mention, don't you almost want to pet those cats..? Better have a potion of growth or something so that they don't mistake you for some kinda plaything.

Treat Yourself to some Air

Man, I really understand this piece. Sometimes it's just too difficult, too much effort to go outside. Sure, I'm talking through the lens of Multiple Sclerosis, but KBDraws did a super job with this. How dead and drab the inside of the house is, aside from the characters looking outside. I can just see their dreaming of escaping, even for just a few minutes!
And aren't those tulips/flowers adorable? They do a lovely job in opening the invitation to just do something to get a little of the outside in.
Try not to leave yourselves trapped, friends!

Biblically Accurate Angel

I saved the best for last! This is another weekly challenge from the art chat and oh. my. gosh. didn't she have the best answer for it?
I am in love with all of the eyes here, something well seen on any description or image painted of them. And didn't she use the best character for the situation, too? I could just see them in this kind of pose and...moments later, asking if they may get out of the costume. After very politely waiting for the painter to be done, of course!

So I'm aware that you have to click the actual links instead of just the images this time. That's my lack of html knowledge. It was fun to see more than just deviantart, though, wasn't it? To see more of KBDraws92's awesome work, here is the link to her twitter gallery!

Feature 106--Cuestionador

The Dream of Cleopatra

Can you imagine how hard it could be to cut some of these pieces just to fit correctly on a collage? Cuestionador mentions that he keeps folders for what pieces might fit and work for a certain piece, but I still wonder how long it took him to cut things so closely without losing the story he was trying to tell. But he does his magic and makes everything come together great. I wonder, too, how he made the paper and glue work so decently together. (If it were my work, it'd all be a lumpy, sticky mess.)
Anyway. This is one brilliant collage and the next two are just as awesome!

The Mermaid

Here's another that shows how well he's able to manage his scissors and how great he is to show his idea. This one makes me wonder how long Cuestionador has to wait for pieces to dry before he can put another one down. Because look at how seamless it is! And I personally love that water he put in the background there and it just looks right for it to be blocked by a black and white texture. ...perhaps it's the song of the mermaid to lead the sailors to their doom?
This piece makes me think of so many ideas. Love it!

The Angel

Using the hints on the image and on the collage's page, this is meant to be Lucifer; the fallen angel. Such a desolate place he's in, look how empty and ruined that background is. And with that blood moon and the magma just dripping off a cliff! Cuestionador set this collage up perfectly, don't you think? The white form of the statue and the face front and center with fire and destruction behind him.
And that's only what I see in this. I'm sure that there are plenty of other things that can be made from this collage!

It's a rare thing to get some traditional collages for these features! Didn't they turn out great? Cuestionador has many more of them in his gallery; don't forget to check out his ink and Pokemon pieces!
