There haven't been many prompts for the talking meme, so I decided to drag out another meme: Character Roulette, but of course I do this with drawbles not comment ficlets ( Read more... )

The meme template for this X-Men: First Class fanart meme is from here on dA, by Julia C.

Bundling the pairings questions...

9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to depict in your art? Pairings aren't really that central for me, and I haven't even done that many pairing pieces. In DC it's probably Bruce/Dick and Dick/Roy. For HP I enjoyed the Snape/Kingsley art I did, but it's not ( Read more... )

8 - Do you design OCs? And if so, are they a kind of self-insert/portrait, e.g. a portrait of a non-canon character you play in an fandom-based RPG or a fursona?Usually I don't draw OCs in fanart, unless you count my icons as a kind of OC. I guess my avatar is a type of fursona, since it is an anthropomorphic creature standing in for me that has ( Read more... )

7 - Have you ever had a piece of fanart change your opinion of a character?Not that I can think of, at least not one of mine. I've probably come across character design choices by others that changed how I visualized previously non-visual canon or even made more sense than visual canon, but I can't think of an example there either. Overall my views ( Read more... )

6 - When you create fanart, do you prefer male or female characters?

I'm sad to say that I prefer to draw male characters, because most of my favorites are male (as seen in my answers to the favorite character meme a while ago). I'm not entirely at ease with my fictional preferences (and have rambled about that in length at times past). While I ( Read more... )

5 - If you have ever had a character try to push their way into your art, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?I don't think I work in a way that would make something like this likely. Usually the people in an artwork don't change from the first concept thumbnail to the final version, they just get rearranged and such. Sometimes I ( Read more... )

4 - Do you have a "muse" character, that inspires you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the art isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?No muses here. I have favorite characters, but I'm not necessarily inspired by characters. I don't do portraits that much, instead my favorite kind ( Read more... )

3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to draw/paint/depict/...?Answering just for the fandoms where I created a couple of planned things: For DC that would be Dick Grayson followed by Tim Drake, for SGA John Sheppard followed by Teyla, for HP I really enjoy doing magical creatures most rather than characters ( Read more... )

2 - Name the fandoms you've made fanart for, and how much you've created in that fandom, and if you still create in it.For main numbers I counted only "regular" fanart, but because I'm not very prolific in the brackets is the number if I include quick drawbles, meme responses, comment pictures and such. I didn't count icons of any kind, neither my ( Read more... )
