We all need a little cheer in these frustrating and upsetting times. Thankfully real artists have delivered brilliant anniversary art that I wanted to share on here since my last few posts have been all doom and gloom over the AI situation.
My favorite parts of this piece:
Not Florian laughing at poor Efron. At least Luca looks concerned lol
Some of pointed out that this is Fin and I can't lie...LOL
I also really like to see Edgar and Frederick together as well for some reason. They complement each other well I think and considering the state of the game right now, seeing two creatives like this is weirdly comforting.
These three in general. I have a deeper appreciation for Qi Shiyi especially after her third birthday letter. Also Richard sipping on a coconut all alone~
And this whol scene right here. The bubbles, the ladies just hanging out, Adamil, and Kurt with those big as heck shears lol

My favorite parts of this piece:
Yidhra surprisingly rather affectionate here with that hand one Grace's arm. I also always love the fact that her follower (apparently the community calls her Yima) always acts like a kid in a lot of these lol
In the back you can see Michiko and Joseph apparently dressing up Violetta so she can have her picture taken. There's also a surprise cameo from Finsen who I guess remains slightly hidden since he technically hasn't arrived at the manor just yet (love that lil detail tho)
Another gathering of elegant and ladies who you definitely dub "queens" in their own right. Then you have Norton just chilling by himself. Fair. And Ithaqua (who is watching Ann's cat).
Also...what is happening here??? Why're the guards separated and why is Fan Wujiu (Black Guard) with Percy of all people?? The wistful look from Xie Bi'an (White Guard) is killing me.
And lastly, Mike (and Luchino I guess...sorry Freaky Lizard truama here) joyriding on the air balloon. While even Mike's recent S-tier fit is being questioned on having AI elements, at least here he has been done justice.
Anyways, just wanted to share this and prattle about the little details and elements I enjoyed about each piece. Thank you to the artists for creating such wonderful works (and it's not the first time they've been commissioned by IDV so please take a look through their profiles!)
