Nayia, what are your favourite BATIM's AU, and your favourite authors/designers?
Well, that's a very difficult and somewhat dangerous question. I like a lot of creators for various reasons - because I like their style, their idea for AU, or 'cause other thing. I also like many universes. I don't want to hurt anyone by omitting, but it would be possible if I started making a list. And the list would be long (which is why I still haven't answered the BATIM favourite comic list question, sorry XD) In principle, all creators whose accounts I follow, or like, or comment their works may consider themselves to be included in my favourite artists/AUs list.
But I pondered this question. And I decided to choose ONE person and their AU. One person who is just great in my eyes, and I really enjoy reading the next fragments of the history of alternative universum...
At the outset, I will highlight something... I'm not an uncritical reader. I see imperfections - both fabular (e.g. deficiencies in the plot logic) and workshop (e.g. no backgrounds or anatomical errors). Yes, in my own arts also. I'm aware of my own mistakes and errors. And others. I don't point out them, 'cause I know that most creators are aware of their imperfections, and it's never nice to have a pointed finger at them (that's why I always ask you, for example, not to pay attention to the fact that my straight lines in my drawings are usually so curved, as if I couldn't afford the usual ruler). Nevertheless, I can see them and in almost every creator I read/watch, I could find something like that. On the occasion of this question, however, I started to wonder if there is an artist I had nothing to complain about. Whose creativity impresses me, whose plot has no logical gaps, and who (which is also important) is a nice person to whom I will gladly leave a comment, 'cause I know that they will not laugh at me or my poor English. And yes, there is such a creator.
That's why my answer is Elwensa and her New Soul AU.
I love her drawing style. I love the attention to detail and the amazing psychological study of the characters, paying attention to details that no one has paid attention to before. Very human and natural relationships. The fact that each character is distinctive not only in appearance, but also in character. From the visual side, the next pages are very polished, just small works of art. From the fictional side - we have a great story, the details of which are gradually revealed to us. Perhaps I could pick on one imperfect thing about her - non-chronological posting of the plot. The comics set in the Studio are read a bit differently, when you already know that Allison, Tom and Sammy will not leave this damn place - it hurts a bit. But this is the only drawback of this creator.
So if I had to choose one and only one creator and their AU, it would be Elwensa from New Soul. Everyone else I read, follow, and comment on may consider them to be on honored second place ^ ^
(I don't think I offended anyone in this way - anyone who reads Elwensa's comic for a while will probably agree with me that it's great and deserves an exceptional treatment, right?)
So click, click, click ^ ^
