For the reference, RotG is an acronym for Rise of the Guardians (the Dreamworks movie based on William Joyce's Guardians of Childhood books), and MTMTE refers to the Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye comic.

I'm in both fandoms, so here's 8 art features for each fandom - the pieces I loved the most this month.

There is plenty to love about these artworks and fanfic.

1. Thinking of Jamie and Sophie still believing in Jack Frost as they grow up is something I really hoped to see in a sequel to RotG, and this illustration by Milady666 portrays just that, beautifully.

2. When I saw the movie the first time, I couldn't help but seeing Jamie as a little brother who doesn't want to see his big brother to leave. It was heartwarming to see the final hug between Jamie and Jack, and I love how Bev-Nap captured the moment with a simple drawing.

3. I agree with the artist: people were mostly religious in 1700s, so it makes sense to portray Jack and his sister praying before bedtime. As a Christian myself, this piece also touches upon a very personal string Mahogany-Fay did a wonderful job here. I love it.

4. I definitely wanted to see more of Jack and his sister (and learn her real name, too). This one's so sweet and Milady666 drew their faces so well (I didn't get the cape issue - maybe the artist meant it moved to a side for the little girl to be on Jack's back?)

5. My new friend TwistedxSaiyan did a wonderful job in portraying Pitch Black as a general and then as a spirit in the same picture. You can really see Pitch's history in one picture. I have yet to read the books, but from what I could read online, this is pretty much it.

6. Another piece by TwistedxSaiyan, this time featuring Sanderson Mansnoozie, the Sandman. I think she drew him perfectly, I loved everything about this picture, and those little hands... *mommy-sighs* So, anyway, I think this is a great artwork to have in Favorites if you are a RotG (and a Sandy) fan

7. One of the most beautiful short fanfics about Pitch Black and Jack Frost (platonic, not a pairing) I've read so far. Touching and the characters are portrayed wonderfully. I think Fae-CaptainofDreams did an amazing job with it - go read it!

8. Such a cutie, little Sanderson! This artwork by Kiell-Art only got ONE comment (mine) and it definitely deserves more love!

MTMTE Features

1. If you loved Nautica and Skids in TF:MTMTE, and their blossoming love that never got a chance due to *events*, you will love this comic by the sweet and talented BTFly009  I know for sure it fulfilled a need of my heart (to see Skids and Nautica together at least once in a comic) and I cried when I read it. Love you more for it, BTFly! (I'll comment it soon, dear - just got to put my emotions back in order, because I still cry ^^)

2. I just love this one by koch43 (for the record, I bought some of her artbooks/comic books and I talked to her a few times - she's an adorably sweet person and a great artist!): it's hard to see Overlord and Trepan in chill settings, but this artwork managed to keep their personalities intact while showing them enjoying a chill moment. That sea's just beautiful, too :')

3. One of my favorite MTMTE artworks by Bluezooms - featuring Kaon and Vos (I love these two guys so much, but that's beyond the point I guess... the art alone is stunning )

4. One of Sziondaisy's illustrations for her beautiful fanfic A Spark's Worth I've been reading on AO3 since the last year. You can read it here archiveofourown.org/works/9142… It's impossible not to fall in love with pre-DJD Vos in this fic (Scope)

5. When Redgully draws Tarn, she draws him so beautifully it's impossible not to love the artwork. This is by all means my favorite Tarn piece by this crazily talented artist

6. Well... we couldn't see Tarn transform in the comic, right? I mean, yes, a bit, but a comic is not a cartoon show... and that's where Trunchbull's skills come in Can't help but loving this short "Tarn transformation sequence" animation.

7. Another lovely piece by Redgully - an endearing scene of DJD Helex holding an exhausted Nickel who just fell into deep recharge, poor lil' one.

8. Trailcutter is hard enough to draw, but guess what? Grafeeni did it, and that sweetheart looks great despite the sadness (we know what happened in the comics). I honestly love this so much. :')


'Till the next update, darlings!
