Rec 1: untitled art Kanaya<3Rose (http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/13513.html?thread=2523593#cmt2523593) Team: Bro<3John Creator: dadkidsclub (Bonus Round 1) Why I’m recommending it: It's sketchy, but that's exactly the reason it looks so good. the sketchy feeling gives it a sense of urgency and action and makes it feel even creepy. the undetailed zombie-trolls in the background look menacing and threatening, but the focus is on the figures in white in the middle, Rose with her back turned on the viewer and Kanaya, with a splendid, vicious grimace on her face and her weapon out to strike. it's raw and very beautiful, and it conveys perfectly the feeling of ominous danger the two are facing (and the knowledge that it's the zombies who are going to be in danger in a couple of secs).
Rec 2: Untitled Dave<3John(http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/13513.html?thread=2508233#cmt2508233) Team: Bro<3John Creator: brodacious (bonus round 1) Why I’m recommending it: it's hilarious. The way drunk!Dave just sort of lets his feels go in a very cute, very drunken way, messing around with his cellphone, it's adorable, and John sort of ignores him because hey, drunk friend at 1am funny but let's cut this short, and leaves Dave hanging to go back to sleep... it's adorable, fun and sort of sad, too. It's a short fill but really cute and well executed, so kudos to the author for it :D
Rec 3: Untitled Dave<>Terezi(http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/13513.html?thread=2075337#cmt2075337) Team: Rose<3Sollux Creator: bleedsblue (bonus round 1) Why I’m recommending it: once again a short fill, but it manages to catch both the prompt (surreal roadtrip) and the characterization of Dave and Terezi, with her enthusiastic desire to taste and feel every single thing, and his amused reactions to her, his attempts to get her to calm down but not fully heartfelt. the closeness is very sweet and doesn't need to be pointed out to be there, like a cozy background feeling as they keep on moving across california. short but very sweet :)
