Alector Fencer

Alector Fencer ought to be a magician with how magical her work is. Talk about reality, all of her work is top notch with amazing lighting, beautiful color pallets, and fantasy anatomy that is seems more realistic then many artist who only draw humans. I especially enjoy her anthro work, it is simply stunning in her marring of human and animal anatomy. Though perhaps my favorite body of work by her is her plant spirit, a guardian of the forest like I have never seen. A wolf that is more plant the animal and conveys a sense of wisdom, passion and ages long past so many artists strive to reach. I truly feel that he truly is one of the forest spirits captured momentarily by an inspired and insightful artist. Showing off another form of talent she has Alector also created little figurines of her Forest Spirit which were temporarily for sale, you can see what they [look] like if you want.

Alector is also working on a comic with a friend of hers. It can be found [here] and is titled the "Red Lantern", so far it seems to be shaping up to be a dark story with slavery as an already important and key feature. But the art work is absolutely beautiful and I personally can't wait to know what will happen next with the plot. I would highly suggest looking around her gallery to see all the beautiful work that she has made.

Alberich

Here's something you don't see everyday, underwater photography, and it's created by the talented Alberich. I know this is the first photographer that has been featured on zee blog and it is rather fitting because this is the artist that finally convinced me to create an account with deviantart in order to follow artist the easy way. I found him when I was in 8th grade I think it was... hmm when was it... well anyways when I first saw his work I was mesmerized by the purity and imagination of his work. One thing you should know is that I love (LOVE!) mermaids! Probably an unholy degree I have more images of mermaids saved on my computer then some people have hard-drive, and his work stirred and awoke those love and longings. I mean really is it that hard to imagine a tail on this models?

So not only does Alberich's work entice imagination but  there is also the mastery of the work. Sense finding him I have tried to find other artists with a similar portfolio as him and have only found one other who consistently shoots beautiful photographs underwater, however theirs is a completely different style and will eventually be featured in this blog. I adore his way with reflections, in many of his works it appears as though the model is flying or walking on water and that they are above the water looking at their reflection instead of looking being under it's surface and looking up. I would love to know how he takes his photographs and where; does he have his own pool? Does he rent a space out? Is it actually smaller then it appears just lard enough for the artist and the model? So many questions which I doubt will ever be answered as he seems to have stopped updating sense sometime in july of 2010.

Akizahao

 Akizahao is the featured artist today and might I say their work is lovely. If you look through their gallery you will find all kinds of character concepts and design that show sparks of creativity and individuality (+ awesome fashion in my opinion,  wish real clothing could look like that). I especially love the one below with the forest and the elf and the adorable little black cat! 

As much as I love their work I feel like something is missing in it, I think it's a similarity in expression from piece to piece. I'm not sure but despite all their beauty and detail and color and lighting after I'm done looking at them I feel like on an emotional level there is just something missing. I'm not sure how it could be changed or if it's just me that feels that way but it just seems like there is suppose to be some kind of an emotion behind it all and there just isn't.
