So I've been seeing a lot of migration on here lately due to various reasons. I completely understand almost all of it, but it's still a little sad when someone leaves, even if I never particularly got along with that person. I'm not really a vehement FA fan myself, but its upsetting because when they leave FA, they (in the collective sense) tend to disassociate with the fandom itself.
So I propose a day of fanart. Let's be completely honest here, there's a lot of furry filth that we deal with as artists that is just completely unmerited. It's the internet, yadda yadda, whatevs. But how about giving something back? We get to see artwork for FREE, where just a little over a decade ago, good, high quality fur-art was something limited exclusively to private collections.
On August 31st, everyone should pick two of their favorite artists and post some fanart for them.
TLDR;
Rules:
1. Pick two artists. Make fanart by Aug 31st.
2. Keep it clean unless that artist likes art of their character otherwise.
3. Don't be a fanboy. Its not about you. It's not about riding someone else's coattail.
4. If it doesn't look good enough, then try again next year. Whole year of extra practice!
5. If they don't say anything on your piece, move on (or if angry, just stop watching them). Don't dwell. Don't pester.
6. Don't get wierd about this guys.
7. Don't ask for shipping info, just post and share a link. Asking for private details is a no-no.
YAY YAHOO WWEGJSDJbmf :D Two thumbs up for Fan Art Day!
