Fan art is NOT cheating. It is just as much a form of art as everything else and it is more than possible to be creative, original and interesting while being inspired by movies, music etc.
A lot of people see fan art in a bad light and I'd like to change that. Just like all other forms of art, fan art requires skill, talent and imagination...
This isn't about helping those with too few page views/favorites etc. Some of these have none, some have over 900!! The idea is to prove that fan art is just as amazing as original ideas.
This news will display many levels of skill, some higher than others, but remember that an artist never stops learning. Being "better" than someone is a myth, its not true. We're all growing as artists and we must respect all levels of skill and deviant users of all ages

I dare you stuck-up jerks to look at this stuff and say it's not art. Anyone who does obviously doesn't know the definition of the word. So stop trashing us and mind your own business if you have such a big damn problem with fanart.

Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
And thanks for the constructive feedback you sent to me. Thats the first negative point I've been told about and it took me by surprise but hey, thats dA and I'm an adult so I shouldn't be offended. Thanks for the honesty!

People do not realize that there is a deeper creative side to creating fanart. Whether it be changing a character's appearence to look more realistic or vice versa, much planning and care is need to create the perfect composition in the final. People also don't realize fan art can provide as a learning resource for artists. I for one do fan art and my own original creations, yet, I found by doing fanart I have improved in my art skills to make my original art better. Another thing, fanart lets you be creative and can lead to a new personal style or learn a new technique to use in your own personal images.

Come with me to Canada! Toronto is like New York, except without the stuff.

I myself make fan art and original creations, both of which go hand-in-hand when it comes to my learning process.
So...
