There's a bunch of fanfic remix exchanges and I love the idea but am much more of a fanartist. Any other fanartists interested in the idea of a fanart exchange? You'd get matched with someone with similar fandoms and choose a picture to create a transformative artwork from: a different point of view, what might have happened next, a larger context, a different character in a similar style, same content in a different style etc.
Ideas about how to run such a thing would be very much appreciated. I think the minimum requirements would be:
-an easily browsable collection of fanart eg a deviantArt account or tumblr tag
-at least three pieces of art in an eligible fandom (where the fandoms would be worked out in advance. And I'd be inclined to include stand alone original art as a "fandom" since a lot of people draw it)
The
Remix Redux rules say no changing the pairing, which seems like a good idea given fandom. They also say "no changing the plot" which is less relevant.
I'd personally be ok with graphics, collages, and craft as well as more traditional art but I don't know how other people would feel about that. (Someone could KNIT THE SCARF a character is wearing!) The aim is to use the original work as inspiration, not to make someone a gift, so the assignees preferences are less important. I might let the remix be a fic/vid etc or based on one as long as everyone offered fanart to remix from as well, depends on people's preferences.
Thoughts?
