Recs

Hey, shippers! This is the last bonus round, which we’re all very sad about. So let’s talk about some of the awesome stuff created throughout the HSO!

Rules

1. Rec at least three fanworks from the main or bonus rounds! They do not have to be connected to each other in any way.


2. You may not recommend material created by members of your own team.


3. Each recommendation must include at least three full sentences about why it’s awesome. Please use the format specified below.


4. You may recommend as many sets as you like, so long as each set has at least three recs in it.

Title & Rec Format
If you are doing a fill, use this format in your title.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

The content of the post should be in this format (extend as necessary):

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

FILL: TEAM DIRK<3JAKE<3JANE<3ROXY

Rec 1: Untitled John <3 Jade fill
Team: Bro <3 John
Creator: ivori
Why I’m recommending it: The prompt here was to combine Bollywood with Steampunk. Steampunk, while a wonderful genre with lots of visual interest, often gets bogged down recycling Victorian clothing aesthetics. By bringing in some Bollywood not only do you get a different set of silhouettes to play with, you also get some colors that really pop off the page. And Jade's hips. Dang, just dang. What a lady.

Rec 3: Untitled Nepeta <3 Terezi Fill
Team: Autoresponder <3 Roxy
Creator: teakei
Why I’m recommending it: Chinese mythology is a rich source of images and stories to draw from that's often overlooked. We know Homestuck itself uses Greek and Judeo-Christian references mainly, but that's no reason to limit the fan work! This work casts Nepeta as a tiger and Terezi as a dragon locked in a forbidden romance. What really makes it shine is the colors, so bright! Terezi would positively love it.

Rec 3: Untitled Rose/Terezi fill
Team: Autoresponder <3 Roxy
Creator: teakei
Why I’m recommending it: Mongolian clothing! Gosh, I just love Mongolian clothing. The colors, the cuts, the bead work, the embroidery, the hats. All of it. Just marvelous stuff. And this art brings all those great, great details together without being heavy handed. Really, I have nothing more intelligent to say. I just freaking love this. Teakai, you do a great Terezi.
