What
I Like In FanArt
|
 |
No,
I definitely do NOT draw my own. I write because the keyboard has to
do what I want it to. Pencils have no such obligation. My hands are not
designed for that.
But
I do enjoy it, very much. I love looking at it. I love evaluating it. Even if
they look nothing like my own ideas, often an idea or expression is exactly
what I'm looking for, or how I would see it, and that's when I love this stuff.
Try these:
My
Favorite Sites:
- Elfwood:
A good all-round fan and non-fan site. However,
look out: the search engine is far from the best and most of these artisits
seem to enjoy drawing people in various stages of undress. If you avoid these
bits, however, it's a great site with some really good work. The above "Sirius
on a Motorbike" pic comes from there, by the incredibly talented Christine
Sanders.
- HP
Monthly: A (surprise!) monthly fanart contest.
Some of it sucks, some of it's really good. But the really good ones generally
have links back to sites full of great fanart by the same artist.
- Chamber
of Keys: A really cute and talented artist runs
this site. I enjoy her work immensely. She's esp. good with MWPP. The other
pic up above (Sirius Babysitting Harry) is by her. She's got a great sense
of their personalities.
- Maleficium:
The Marauder's Map: All MWPP. Some of it is
NOTHING like my ideas, but some of it is remarkably close, and I have to admire
her taste in fics (I've gone through most of her list by now). And the site
itself is hilarious. Just read her commentary if nothing else, it's HILARIOUS.
Please note that,
although Lupin is my fave Marauder...one of my fave characters...my favorite
pieces of art are of Sirius. This is because I'm extremely picky about
how Lupin ought to look. If you have found a good pic of him, for the love of
Zemenar, share it with me. Just e-mail me the link at [email protected].
