Title: Bittersweet
Artist: tealilte
Medium: Pen
Artist Of The Week: (Apr. 16-22, 2017)

From the moment I saw this drawing, I immediately felt myself become flooded with an intensely sweet and heartbreaking feeling that came from just looking at this drawing. At first it seems like just an ordinary drawing but after you truly analyze this pice your'll quickly start to understand that this drawing something much more meaningful.
This stunning drawing, which was wonderfully done by the artist, tealilte, on Deviant Art, is a perfectly clear and beautiful representation of what a "Bittersweet" feeling feels like. It's obvious that the name "Bittersweet" is very significant to this pice as this drawing clearly depicts a character who looks both sad and happy. While her tears may say that she's sad, her twinkling eyes and smile say that she is filled with joy and happiness. This is a truly heartbreaking and beautiful work of art!

Title: Virgo Lady
Artist: tahuputih404
Medium: Watercolor
Artist Of The Week: (Mar. 12-18, 2017)

Watercolor paintings are always intriguing to me. Theres a certain unique style and atmosphere that comes with watercolor so I'm always quite fascinated by what can be dome with the medium and this weeks Spirit Star City featured artwork happens to be another lovely example of what can be done with the art of watercolor painting.

The artist, tahuputih404, has done several unique watercolor paintings themed around the zodiac signs, such as this one, where the zodiac signs have each been illustrated in their own different distinct styles and characteristics. They are all very captivating pieces to look at and the nature of some are perhaps a little more bizarre then others but they are truly remarkable pieces to behold.

Trying to choose which of the watercolor painting I wanted to feature for Artist Of The Week was a bit of a challenge because they where all very wonderful works of art so I chose this pice simply because I was a Virgo. I'm really fascinated by astrology so the fact that the artist was able create watercolor paintings for each of the zodiac signs was something that I found really amazing.

Title: Spirit Animal
Artist: Coscomomo
Medium: Digital Art
Artist Of The Week: (Mar. 5-11, 2017)

It seems like spring is finally starting to come a round, although, winter still sort of seems to come and go every now and again. Seeing as how winter is still on the mind for some people, this pice still seem pretty relatable to many people still experiencing winter.

I first encountered this pice on deviant art one day while I was browsing through some of the new art that was coming into DeviantArt and this captivating digital art pice stood out to me. I felt that this pice was different somehow and I was sure that there was meaning here so, after speaking with the artist about the artwork, I found that I was even more fascinated with the story behind this pice just as much as the pice its-self.

"From the above you can see where some of the inspiration comes from, the other big part of this particular piece comes from a moment when I was outside playing in the snow with my son (he was dressed very similar to the way I painted the character in the artwork btw) the snow was falling all around us and right in the middle of that playtime he looked up, he was watching how the snowflakes where drifting down so calmly, he looked so marveled, then the slightest breeze made me look up as well and then I imagined a white and almost invisible to the eye creature making that soft and barely noticeable breeze happen, what if it was a whale spirit??? Hehe. I remember once I saw some concept art for a videogame that fit what I had on my mind and it was so natural that the artwork practically made itself." -Coscomomo

Artist: A-Meridiem
Medium: Digital Art
Artist Of The Week: Feb. 19-25,  2017

This week for the Spirit Star City Artist Of The Week we have a fine digital art pice done by the artist know as A-Meridiem from DeviantArt. Something that stands out to me about this artist and their artwork is their unique style. They post a lot of digital art drawing/painting of different types of characters, like the one seen here, on their DeviantArt page using different styles of soft/smooth colors, backgrounds, and environments. Typically they usually tend to leave the faces of these characters fairly blank and open and which is something I find quite intriguing as I feel that it sort of leaves it up to the beholder to interpret what these characters are thinking and feeling. Although, here, in this pice we are give a little more detail and suggestion as to what this character is thinking and feeling. I think this is actually a fitting pick for this weeks Artist Of The Week since spring is finally coming around but it still gets a little chilly every now and again. I feel that this pice seems fairly cozy especially with the warm pink background.


Title: Smol Star
Artist: Derpy-Tirby

Artist Of The Month: Feb. 2017

"This is my first ever OC I have ever created. He's gone through many physical changes and many name changes but for now his nickname is star. He's a smol sweet bean who likes blue raspberry candies! I hope you enjoy the "aesthetic" colored pencil background I made Ironically! Bye bye (⌒▽⌒)" - Derpy-Tirby

Derpy-Tirby is a really funny and talented artist that post a very wide variety of these unique characters, using colored pencils, on Deviant Art. The characters this artist makes are really funny and they always make me laugh. There are a lot of drawings like this that can be found on the artist DeviantArt page and I definitely recommend checking out their work!
While I was going through their art work, trying to figure out what drawing I wanted to feature here, I was actually having some trouble tying to pick what artwork I wanted to use because I simply like all of their art work to much to be able to decide on one thing so I just had the artist send me their favorite work.

Here are the links to some of my favorite drawings.
Definitely go check them out! There hilarious!

Title: Fragility
Medium: Watercolor
Artist Of The Week: Feb. 1-11, 2017

"In making art we allow the world to see into our soul. Fragility represents a point in time during which the artist worked to cleanse herself of feeling of turmoil, anxiety, and grief by putting the emotions on paper. The flowers can be regarded as an expression of hope in a sea of negativity. Fragility is a watercolor painting measuring 12"x16" and was created using Winsor and Newton paints and paper." - SALTWatercolors

This is a watercolor painting called  by the artist SALTWatercolors who makes lovely and impressive watercolor painting of mostly nature and landscape themes in her work and all of her paintings are very breathtakingly detailed and beautiful, using specifically watercolor as her choice of medium.
In this watercolor painting we can see what appears to be some beautiful looking flowers growing surrounded by what might be grass and maybe some other plants and flowers. Some of the things that stand out to me here is, not only the attention to detail, but also the colors and hues that where used.
As we can see here this painting is composed of predominately darker hues and colors and that mixed with the title of the painting itself, "Fragility," I personally feel like it gives the painting a sort of mysterious and melancholy feel to it, but at the same time also a little sweet and delicate like sugar. I really like the warm purple hues here and how they make the dark yellow hues pop out a lot more.
I find this painting so ridiculously awesome that at first glance I literally need a minute to take in all the details and colors the where used here! This is a very well done art piece that obviously had a lot of though and hard work put into it. I definitely recommend taking a look at all of their work.
