Oh if we're posting card art then I have a good one. I would call Infinity Wars a cash grab for the online card game popularity increase and animated cards are just a gimmick. Then I actually tried Infinity Wars and...
Why can there be only 3 copies of cards in a deck? Why can't I have just 40 copies of Jetpacks? Just imagine that hand of 10 guys getting jetpacks...
As much as I adore most of the Verore faction card art and I play a full purity Verore only deck most of the time, the way GIVE HIM A JETPACK! is animated just takes the first prize easy, that guy's face is great. I can watch that animation loop all day.
The three two Verore location cards I use are awesome too. Too bad I can't find the animated versions, the wiki seems a bit lacking on them sadly. Ruins has lighting flashing, rain falling and all the little pieces of the keep are floating around it.
Replacing Veroria with Ruins of Veroria during a game is actually really strong if you do it right. You'll be low HP anyway by spamming 10HP drains so halving it means very little and you can have the guy wipe his own board in an instant, even if he's doing full netdecking "I put followed the guide and put Darude Daode in the Command Zone, without considering better synergies and whether he fits the win condition of my deck, am I good at the game yet lol exdee."
Lastly I suppose my current wallpaper is pretty fuckin' solid. VC's watercolour paint style isn't usually my thing but it really works well there.
In most of his drawings you can tell who's alive, dying, what's of a dead body etc, but this one's just like...wtf is that? It looks like it should be dead, but it's not positioned like a body like the rest of his stuff, it's just there, standing in the foreground, looking at you, and why does it have the proportions of a child? Creepy as fuck.
Also given the context of who painted it and when, it feels very genuine.
its by Mahmoud Farshchian and when you grow up in a shia culture like iran the Ashoora (eleventh day) is a very important day and many many pieces of art from literature to paintings has been done with it in mind so the cultural importance of it really shines.
even without all those the painting is a master piece.
Man there's some low standards in this thread. Also awesome ones.
Mine's William Turner's 'The Slave Ship', because the lighting and use of colour absolutely enrapture me. It's perfectly encapsulates the feeling of desolation and destruction.
Pretty much this, and anything like this. The bizarre anchored in reality to set your eyes wide with wonder. I can't find the piece that I particularly enjoyed, but if you've seen Inception and recall the scene where they wash ashore to the crumbling city; it looked a lot like that, but darker and weirder.
I've always really liked Picasso's Guernica because it so beautifully captures the tragedy of the Guernica Massacre. The entire scene is just pure chaos, and it's also really interesting that it's in black and white, as if to show the serious nature of the subject matter.
From classic art one of my favorites is Tod und das Madchen by Hans Baldung Green. I don't know, I just think its a really good representation of the relentless passage of time.
edit: naked boob involved(but classy )
From modern times Ben Templesmith is one of my all-time favorites. I think he's one of the biggest talents in comic books today.
One of my other favorites is Kelley Jones. I absolutely love his kind of Victorian/Gothic('Bloodborne'-esque if you will ) take on Batman.
But yeah, there are so many great artists, both classic and modern. I could post here all day.
My favorite painting is "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" which I'm not going to post here because it has nudity and I have too many strikes as it is without needing to risk more.
I will say, my favorite title for a painting is "Fifty Abstract Paintings Which as Seen from Two Yards Change into Three Lenins Masquerading as Chinese and as Seen from Six Yards Appear as the Head of a Royal Bengal Tiger."
I have seen both these paintings in real life, and they are amazing.
