There have been some real gems that pass through the activity stream and soon forgotten unless you have that series/movie/album. Also, there are some creations that you would never know weren't created instead of copied or rendered.
The idea here is to post a link of the original source/s, and a link to the fanart “PAGE” where the image resides on the site.
(ie..not linked directly to the image)
This should make it easier for people to vote, and have a look at the other art there.
List the software used, and a description as terse or elaborate as you like. I would also like to keep each post to a single piece of art.
This should give new and veteran users alike, a chance to discover or rediscover the awesome pieces of art this community has produced.
I’ll kick it off with something I did back when I was working on the letter G in my library. (The good ole days

I didn’t post this for effects or anything, but it was a horrible source and I loved the artwork.
Descreening/smoothing and lots of clone tool later, I was happy enough to upload it. Also wanted to show what could be done for those unfamiliar with the clone tool.
(Make sure to get a look at the source at 100%)
Looks best against black IMO.
Cheers
