Hello art community, I have a question about fannart. Ive noticed that in most pieces, when people draw certain characters, they change their race or body type, even when the piece of media doesn't have diversity issues. For example, I saw a piece of Link from Zelda, but they made him chubby with a droopy-er chest. Could I have an explanation to why people change certain things like that? (I just dont really get why somone change a characters race or body type or gender or things like that when traits as such have already been established. Just a little curious *please dont tell me its for creative liberty, im asking for a general answer haha*)

[in English ⬇️] Вот уже много лет рисую, а самое сложное - это всегда начать новый блокнот. И, вроде, с опытом и приходит отношение к этому типа "была не была", но всё равно момент всегда особенный и волнительный. А у вас как? Прошло уже или всё ещё замираете, проводя первую линию? ... Here it all begins. The most difficult part when you start a new sketchbook is to draw a first line! One would think that with experience a kinda "whatever" attitude should kick in, but here I am, still holding my breath when draw a first line in a new sketchbook. What about you? Is starting a new sketchbook easy for you or you also feel these 🦋 drawing the first line? ... #newsketchbook #firstpage #sketchbook #khadipapers #lamy #lamyfountainpen #lamysafari #fountainpen #fountainpendrawing #watercolorpaper #urbansketchers #linework #artquestion #artistsoninstagram #singaporeartist #singapore_in_sketches #usksg #blackandwhitesketch #bw #archsketch #archsketchbook #inspirationalthoughts (at Serangoon Garden Estate, Singapore)

To all short-comic artists, (who hopefully see this post)

How do you come up with ideas for the stories? I am extremely struggling to find a one shot. It's frustrating because I want to practice story telling and drawing/inking manga pages. 🥲 Help.

Hi everyone! Is there someone you would like me to paint that is well known? Hoping for interesting subjects.

As we go into 2021, I’m curious as to what drives artists to create? What makes them put their art above many other things in life? For me, I have a desire to truly find out who I am as a person. I have tried my hand at many ventures in my life, yet none of them have allowed me to delve into my deep thoughts and beliefs like art has. I would love to hear what motivates you to create, please comment and may the creative process continue for years to come. . . . . . #artcreative #creativecloud #artquestion #artstudio #makeart #createart #art_sharing #artgallery #galleryart #collectart #artcollector #newart #originalart #modernart #fineart #artists #artistssupportingartists #artistrystudio #artistsonig #artistspotlight #artmagazine #motivation #wscranmore (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJoh4lRHlEw/?igshid=eczhf41cuhvm

Question!!! So in 2015 I created these posable demon sculptures as part of a bigger piece: an automaton called Demon Mutiny. When bringing it to shows (before it sold) people would ask me if I had individual demons for sale. Which I had no interest in making at the time. But times have changed... So my question for you guys is: should I make single demon sculptures and if so, how much should I charge? They are made with animal bones and dental drills with genuine ruby eyes. Pricing art has been an extremely difficult task lately. I feel like maybe the old art rules about keeping your prices going up or comparable to things sold in galleries might not be the best strategy during this pandemic. But at the same time I’m seeing art for sale by my colleagues that are much more than would I would be for things in the same realm and it makes me worried that if I lower my prices would that either make their stuff seem too expensive or my stuff cheap? If I keep my prices at that level would no one be able to afford it?

My real question is if you're a character artist and you haven't drawn an absolute himbo yet, what are you waiting for?
