Good morning, Sunshine by dichotomystudios (Teen)

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

We have such amazing artists in the fandom - it seems like high time to start a trend for reccing them here :)

Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: Chris/Buck
Length: n/a
Artist on lj: slavelabour
Artist website: d i c h o t o m y s t u d i o s

Why this must be viewed:  Gosh, well this piece of AU: ATF Chris/Buck art is so very pretty in and of itself, in theme, in texture and colour and mood.  And then beyond that there is great characterisation of both men.  This molto talented artist beautifully conjures something of their essence, an essence which clearly comes through in the snapshot of a gentle moment between them.  The fact that Buck, God love him, is so tender and Chris (pretty hair!) is frowning in his sleep says so much about them and what underpins their relationship in any Mag7 universe.  It's love, baby and that's why I'm here :)

The artist's summary of the piece:

In rare moments when their world isn't made of bullets and bloodshed, Buck likes to watch Chris sleep.

Good Morning, Sunshine

This is so touching and beautifully done whether you are a fan of the pairing (which I totally am) or not, you should have look see for the sheer quality of the work.

You're right, there should be more art recs, and there is absolutely no better place to start than with this one. :)

Jojo, I'm so flattered, thank you! I'm also squeeful that it's art what was recced. Not only does this make you a trailblazer (woohoo!), but there are a lot of artists in fandom who don't write or vid, so rarely get recognition here for the beautiful fanworks they provide us. The next time I drive the van, I'm going to follow your lead in this and spread a little inspiration. Cheers!

I don't know why but I always thought that art recs were outside the rules here, but I noticed more recently and immediately thought of the Mag7 artists I know and love and wanted to start the ball rolling :) yay for artist recognition!!
