I have the idea to once a week to round up individual pieces I have found through the week on various art sites such as DeviantArt, Society6, YouTube and Behance. Tumblr will get it's own day on Tuesday.
To set the mood I'm going to start with a music video. Lyrics are focused on individuals, but focused on global scale with responsibility themes. Plus, Spiderman can totally be seen as a modern fairy tale.
First up is a piece by FictionChick of DeviantArt (fiction-chick.com). It's a fabulous photo manip with epic Rococo elements used to express the saying 'head in the clouds' (who hasn't heard that one if they are into art?) I especially love the paper crane birds flying about, adding to the sense of unreality the the mixed perspective starts.
Next is an illustration by Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
This is by Nacrym of DeviantArt. (heyoga.free.fr) Water colors always tend to give an ethereal feel that is reminiscent of enhanced reality of fairy tales. Plus the epic romance of the subject is implicit. Add to that the aristocratic clothing of no particular period (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't recognize it,) it's a almost throwing it in your face.
The next piece is by Myoe Win Aung and I found this piece on an Empty Kingdom article on him. We have the ethereal quality of the watercolors again this time on a single figure, striking in it's solitude and warm color on the cool background. Very easy to see the figure as a protagonist heading out on their quest.
This photo manip by La--Boheme is a bit darker and shows the price of failure. The pirate woman makes me think of the tester, the mysterious figure that gives the choice. The grittiness of it is hyper realistic, another example of reality magnification like When the snow melts into rain.
