January #23 -- Friday Favorites

This week's theme is "Perseverance". Each of these artworks was chosen by one of our admins, who also gave a brief explanation of how these artworks fit the theme for this week.

Sorry this one is so late! I know we missed a few Friday Favorites, but I'll try to make sure that we post the rest on time.

The hand straining to reach the sun, which I interpret as a goal or fulfilling a dream or perhaps overcoming an obstacle, conveys a theme that can be seen as perseverance and never giving up. The surreal/abstract touch is a nice one!

I won't give up. I never give up. For you. What can be reason for perseverance than some who you like or love and so. Even through pain or sadness. This piece is very emotionally deep.

To all those manga/anime fanatics out there, how this piece relates to the theme is self-explanatory. For those who don't know how, this character (aka Naruto) is known to be one of the most persevering fictional characters of all time. But the real reason why this piece fits the theme is because of the perseverance of the artist who made it. You can see in the description, you just know that they've gone a long way to get better at Digital Art, but of course with some tips and pointers from a few other good artists. With beautiful shading, lovely anatomy (anime/manga), not only is it beautiful visually, the whole history behind it, is as beautiful as well.

In just a single word, this artwork captures the essence of perseverance, which is living life each day without ever giving up.
