Posts from Beauty that you want to share.

I never thought that anyone on this forum would be more interested in anime-themed cards than I am (an old-school gamer).

Humans are scary, but the picture is cool.

Actually, in that picture, the humans seemed the most reasonable to me...

Let's continue with our favorite artists and, at the same time, our favorite literature. And there are quite a few more related to "The Silmarillion." Should I post them?

Here are some more or less relevant cat pictures.







And some other furry creatures as well.
I was picking them for my game.

I should probably unsubscribe from Afremov. I delete his notifications anyway, and I only subscribed to him out of respect.
But since I subscribed out of respect, I'll leave him on my list. However, I won't be posting any of his pictures. I'll just post pictures as usual.

Well, there's also quite a lot of stuff based on "The Silmarillion." Should I post it?

Anyway, I'm posting it. Although, not exactly what I intended...
But it's based on "The Silmarillion," yes.

So, let me introduce you to my childhood idol!
Luke Skywalker is, of course, great, but I've always been drawn to villains.



And it turns out, I'm not the only one. I just found a ton of great art!
There's a lot of slash in it, though – but that's okay, he's the spirit of evil, the father of sin, the sower of vice, and the tempter of nations...





You probably all know him!
But I still can't resist and will introduce...



Please hate and complain – Melkor "Morgoth" Bauglir, Alkar the Brilliant, the Black Vala, the One Who Rose to Power, the first Dark Lord of Middle-earth





teacher (in the original version – father) of Sauron





lord of the Balrogs, creator of Orcs, Trolls, Wargs, Dragons, and everything else...



And simply the best villain of all time.

Historical moment #1 – Melkor creates Orcs!



Well, how does he create them... Let's just say he makes them out of the available raw materials.
Of course, the Elves are a pity... But, purely theoretically.



But what would we all do without Orcs?
What would we call brotherly peoples, friends, and loved ones, and in general, everyone who we don't like for some reason?
And what would we ourselves be for the rest of the world, finally? And the rest of the world, accordingly, for us?
That's the point.



Historical moment #2 – Melkor (with the support of loyal Balrogs) saves Middle-earth from absolute chthonic evil, embodied in the hungry Void, the primordial spider Ungoliant.



...Which he, however, first fattened up to such an unimaginable size. He overdid it a little, it happened to him.
She almost ate him. He had to save Middle-earth, what could he do...
But, of course, no one appreciated or thanked him.

Well, never mind. Melkor will return. He is one of those who cannot be destroyed, but only banished.



And when he returns... Ha. Haha. Hahahaha. And another half hour of professional villainous laughter.

There's a lot of slash.

[Insert a joke about elves]

I didn't understand how negative characters could evoke anything other than hatred, irritation, and the desire to hit them hard, until I watched the classic "Doctor."

I am your Master, and you shall obey me.

[insert a joke about elves]

They are not elves.

Didn't understand how negative characters could evoke anything other than hatred, irritation, and the desire to hit them hard, etc.

Yet, she joked about the Imperium, played a cannibal assassin, and cherished Kittehpink?

And who said that they are negative? And yes, Nu'esha is off-limits.

And, for the sake of universal balance, I'll post something cute (although I can't imagine anything cuter than Melkor...).

Let's say, Lunar sailors.
Specifically, sailors, not sailor girls.







Although sailor girls are also good.





And where there are sailors, there is other marine life.



I just don't like it when they all have the same dragonfly-doll-anorexic figures.





An incurable pathological OTP. Possibly even incompatible with life.







I know, same-sex pairings aren't popular here, but this one is canonical.

This is an OFFICIAL ART!



Are they mocking us or something?

And besides, agree – if she (yes, it's her)



slept with men, it would already be some kind of gay thing...

And yes:

I was just browsing DeviantArt, and I came across a cute anime girl. I decided to share some of her work.



^This is her.













It's a bit much, but I couldn't resist sharing it.

Here's another one of my favorite artists – Patrick Lambert, the concept artist for the first two games in the Disciples series.
Let's not even talk about the terrible third installment.











Unit portraits from the first part, which I used to extract from the game myself.









So, they are small, of course, but I think they are quite suitable as avatars on forums.

P.S.
Well, never mind about the third part of Disciples...
I don't have any decent words about it. Not a single one.

But there is some decent art for the Mountain Clans expansion that never came out.





The author clearly tried to imitate Lambert, and he generally succeeded.
The expansion just didn't work out, and maybe that's for the best.

P.P.S.

And here's some more fan art for Disciples.

Yes!
In the third part, everything was terrible (they had griffins running around the battlefield!), but the design of the demons was somehow especially creepy. In a bad way.
Probably because it required at least some imagination, and that was exactly what was lacking.
These pathetic, lanky, crooked monstrosities reminded me of the monsters from the first Quake. And there, the monsters were scary, but here...

However, let's not dwell on this misunderstanding.

Let's talk about the great second part instead. True, only black and white sketches remain...

Horses are kind of a thing of the past. I'm just saying this as someone who used to be into them.

Well, if you don't want horses, here are some hamsters.



Or rabbits.



Or mice.





Or swords.



Or Norstein.



Or Japanese schoolgirls.





(By the way, that last picture is what finally made me watch ponies. What kind of horse is that with (my) Haruka? I thought she had already switched to horses? I should check out what's going on there...)

And here are two pages from the official horse comic, pay attention to the highlighted parts.



And there's a lot more like that.
The series is, of course, getting worse and worse (what do you expect, it's the seventh season! Look at what Game of Thrones turned into by the seventh season!) - but there's still a lot of good fan art, and the comics are pretty good.





And there's a touching story from DeviantArt about these two pictures, about two girls who drew ponies, met because of it...
And now, thanks to Obama, they can basically get married. The everyday life of post-humanity.

Just don't tell Deputy Milonov, or he'll ban ponies in the Russian Federation. And not just the drawings, but the real ones. And donkeys too, even though donkeys are definitely not to blame.
