I had some difficulty deciding where to post these since none of these aren't even MY art but commissioned from other forumites and now that I've got them all framed I just wanted to show them off a little so... not my art but LOOK, SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THEM. They're amazing, a hugebig thank yous to Haiz and Sc0ut!

My SSSSona painted by Sc0ut, so amazing it had the whole workplace admire it in turns while I was working on it! The sheer amount of details, holy heck, I wholeheartedly recommend Sc0ut for commissions because the end outcome is just so brilliant. Sc0ut managed to create the background so exactly like the surroundings of my summer cottage I get homesick when I look at it. (I look at it a lot.)

Detail of the framing job. The frame is decidedly simple so it won't take attention from the picture itself, and the green passe partout has a marbling effect on it because I felt it gave the picture a nice, forest-y touch.

Moving on to the two Haiz commissions. This one is a valkyrja Sigrun, and I specifically requested a real deal valkyrja in functional armour. Going by sagas valkyrjas are
scary as f pretty fierce even when they're NOT in full rage mode (weaving fabric out of people's guts using skulls as loom weights anyone?), but I wanted one in full rage mode. I was not disappointed.

Frame detail. For this one I felt a dark, heavily patterned frame alone worked best.

Then there's Lempo! Again, I gave Haiz some details on the god/dess and they totally blew my mind with this. So accurate, I knew to expect awesomeness but the end result was still even better. I could stare at it forever, it's so amazing and beautiful and and and I'm bad at adjectives when it comes to this one because none are big enough!

The indigo passe partout is even deeper colour in reality and really makes the reds and yellows pop. The frame is more gold than it looks like here, I mostly selected it because the pattern reminded me of small flames all over but also because I felt that the picture could easily pull off even a complicated frame, it's so strong. Besides I had it printed out HUGE because I could.

All in all, I'm super happy with my commissions!!!
