Fleeting Fancies - Fanworks Recommendations

- Prince of Tennis - Ultimate Blue [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - I am only starting to get into Prince of Tennis fanart, and I'm really glad that this was one of my first sites, because it's exactly what I look for when searching Japanese sites, exactly what addicts me and keeps me coming back for more. There are a handful of illustrations in these galleries that are just gorgeous--everything is done with a lot of skill and is very pretty, but there are a few (like the very first one of Tezuka and Fuji and the ones of Inui and Ryoma) that are beautiful. Very soft and pretty, but still maintaining that shounen feel that I've come to like about PoT so much. The icon section is full of incredibly cute little icons and I am so tempted to snatch one of them up to use. *hearts* Just... great site. (Primarily TezukaFuji, with some FujiEiji and single-character art mixed in.)

- Prince of Tennis - Hold On [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - This morning, I have just been in a TezukaFuji mood and the universe seems to have decided to be kind for once and bestow upon me many, many beautiful, wonderful, lovely TezukaFuji illustrations and this site... just makes me incredibly happy to see. The artist (yet again) captures the feeling of the characters, that gentleness, that subtleness, that quietly deep passion between them, the little things that show how much they mean to each other, just quietly leaning into each other showing so much. Plus beautiful. Just absolutely, completely beautiful. And then when the artist draws them in traditional clothing, they're even more gorgeous and beautiful and just... *happy sigh* I'm getting into that sort of fangirl mode where I'm so sparkly and so happy that I can barely contain my love for this pairing. Just... every time I clicked on the next link I fell in love all over again. *sparkle*sparkle* And guh. Every time I see that illustration of them lying in bed together, reading, or where Fuji is eating the apple slice off the knife Tezuka is holding, I just want to swoon. And! And! Chibi-Tezuka and chibi-Fuji comic makes me MELT. *_* And! And! Diary art is GORGEOUS! *_* ....I think this is officially one of my favorite sites now. (TezukaFuji.)

- Prince of Tennis - [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - Oh, my god, THIS is one of my new favorite PoT sites because... just... the illustrations are gorgeous!! *_* The artist has this way with the colors or the way she puts this almost haze over the images that makes them look... mm, I wouldn't quite use the word 'romantic', but something kind of in that direction and they're just beautiful. The colors are soft and pretty and just work so damn well and there's this one illustration of Tezuka that just makes me glaze over and drool every time I see it. *_* And the way she captures the feeling of Tezuka and Fuji being near each other... makes me swoon with happiness. *sparkles* There's this one where they've got their hands on each other's faces, just looking at each other and it's just... it's really professional quality... as is a lot of the art on the site.

Plus! The artist has done two of my now-favorite TezukaKeigo illustrations that just make me go *__*!!! with happiness, too! And I almost forgot! The comics! Gorgeous comics! The TezukaFuji/TezukaKeigo/OshitariKeigo one just... it made want to cry just a little bit with how... affecting it was, even with just the pictures. I. Love. This. Site. Definitely one of the best ones out there. Despite my incoherent recommendation--this site really deserves better because it's so good. (TezukaFuji, a little bit TezukaKeigo, some OshitariKeigo.)

- Prince of Tennis - [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - This artist has some of the most gorgeous linework I've seen, she draws the characters absolutely beautifully and I'm just as fascinated by her sketches as I am the more fully done illustrations. She also clearly adores Atobe and she draws him wonderfully, capturing both his diva side and a more... mm, human side to him, but always, always beautiful. She also draws him in some of the cutest poses, sometimes alone, sometimes with the various people he's often slashed with. Of course, my favorites where the Tezuka/Atobe ones--there was one where they were lying in bed together, Tezuka was reading, and Atobe was smirking and just starting to turn Tezuka's face his direction and it just made me absolutely melt into a puddle of fangirl goo. *looooves~* (Atobe-centric, all the usual Atobe pairings.)

- Prince of Tennis - [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - There are several things I love about this site. First, is that the artist draws the characters beautifully; Fuji's and Tezuka's and all the other characters' eyes are drawn in this very... piercing way that makes them just gorgeous (Fuji is especially just beautiful), and this is combined with very soft, gentle lines and colors, giving the site a very... almost (but not quite) light and airy feeling, while still having substance. One of my favorite types of art. =^_^= Plus, when the artist draws Tezuka and Fuji leaning on each other or Tezuka kissing Fuji (or Tezuka in a formal suit *_*), she captures the feeling of the characters and I'm a very, very happy fangirl. And there is a whole lot of art... and then there's the smut~~ *sparkles massively* (TezukaFuji, some FujiOther.)
