Lonnie Bissonnette BASE jumping, from here.

A pretty siren. (I love the anemone hair.)

An impressive dragon. (Man, I love really, really big dragons, and this does a good job of conveying that scale.)

An amazingly realistic cosplay of the Corinthian from Sandman, if you scroll down. CAUTION: I showed this picture to Josh without warning and he found it a bit upsetting. Fortunately I had a cute baby on hand for a chaser. The rest of y'all do get this warning: if you're familiar with Sandman, think about whether this is something you want to see. If you're *not* familiar with Sandman, a visual description of the character is behind ( this spoiler cut. )

Centaur Kiss, George Leonnec, 1924, was the cover of "La Vie Parisienne".

Her(?) hat blowing off in abandon, his bouquet tossed up in surprise... her hands, his neck... dang.

(Hm, most of what I post as pictures-of-the-day are things I have fannish feelings about (I ship the hell out of this pairing!), but it might be fun to do a series of some of my favorite Serious Art, if I can find images...)

Tom Daley: bronze in diving, gold in cuteness.

A calendar of gay couples throughout history. I especially liked Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, who "may be the first same-sex couple in recorded history".

Natural Philosopher, by theGorgonist, from here on DeviantArt.

Of course I cannot help but see her as Dr. Barlow. ::grin::

If male superheroes dressed like female superheroes, cosplay edition? I have no idea where this came from, I think I came across it in someone's tumblr awhile ago.

( possibly NSFW depending on your work? )

( NSFW, topless lady )

From a production of Twelfth Night; I think that's Anne Hathaway in the middle there.

From here. A self-portrait by an 18-year-old artist.

I like both of these just as themselves, but I am also fannishly-fixated enough that I can't help but mentally "cast" them - that's obviously Lilit, Deryn, and Alek in the top one (imagine Deryn blonde and Alek a lot younger), and Alek in the bottom one.

So Hollywood might make a Leviathan movie!

I'm totally kidding. This most excellent pinup has nothing to do with Leviathan, it's just art, by an artist named PinkParasol here at DeviantArt. However, due to having a bunch of tabs open at once, and a mixup over which one I had clicked back to, I briefly *thought* it was some sort of Deryn fanart, and couldn't resist trying to pass on that moment of WTF.

From here.

Also I find myself wanting this comic based on them putting badass breastfeeding on the cover, although I have kind of sworn off buying single-issue comics. But seriously, check her out:
