Artworks in the 2016 Tagset

[quillori]

Below is a list of the artwork nominated this year, with links. If I've missed anything, or if anyone has better links to the art, please leave me a comment. As well as the main list, I've included an extra section, with a few things where I'm not quite sure if they count as artworks as such.

So much lovely art this year - I'm really looking forward to seeing what people request/write for it.

Not the person who nominated the Northendgirls art, but the characters are anthropomorphized and female versions of football clubs that were at least in the Champions League Round of 16 in 2014-15. (E.G. the Arsenal FC character [bottom left] is drawn as an assassin, because the team is nicknamed "The Gunners," and the Chelsea FC character [top right] is drawn as a pensioner, because until Chelsea changed their nickname to "The Blues" in the 1950s they were known as "The Pensioners.")

As far as I know, there is no story, but there are some additional artworks in this tag. There is no story behind the art that I know of, and I'd say you probably don't need to know anything about football to understand the art.

I've moved it up into the art section, and changed the link. Thank you for your very helpful comment!

I'm the one who nominated Sengoku Avengers, and yes, you can write it without knowing the original source -- there's a paragraph or two of background for each character. If anything, what you need to know is Japanese history and folklore, not comics. :-P

I've moved it up to the main list. Thanks for letting me know.

Oooh, I love Vengeance is Sworn! I can't wait to see the requests for that!

So many possibilities! I'm really looking forward to seeing what people write this year.
