On Fanart and OCs

Wed Dec 23, 2009, 6:22 PM
Fanart makes me smile, it makes me happy, but it just makes me kinda sad to think that the only art someone will make will be fanart.

I dont like making fanart because I dont think Im good enough to take someone elses character and defile it with my skill level. But thats an exuse that only works for me.

I like OCs though, and really its like computers, I liked that metephore I made. You know your computer. You know what it likes and what it doesnt. Its not alive. Its not going to be anything more then a tool. Just like characters. But you know it. Its yours. Like your OCs. When someone uses your computer, dont you get that funny icky feeling in your stomach? Or when you use someone elses, its like invading their privacy. The same is with characters, wich is why before Hetalia I had always been againts rping chacecters that arnt mine. I learned that was Godmodling when I was little, and the people who played known characters did it wrong because I was like, 10 when I was last really around that stuff. Now I know people who can do it right.

I like characters from shows, from books, from movies, but it makes me feel weird to think that all someone is going to do is center their art and creativity around a character that isnt theirs. Because those characters are someone elses OCs. They arent Gods just because theyre popular characters. They are still OCs just like yours and mine and focusing on them like that... Its okay. Its not anything bad.

But dont you feel better using your own imagination? Say what you feel should be said; through your own creations? I do.

I mean its been forever and a half sense Ive rped with my own OCs. I miss that a lot. But with my writing and letting them do what I created them to do in the first place, god it feels good.

Writing fanfiction, it doesnt do that for me.

Does it not work that way for fanart as well? Fanart... does what it set out to do, if its a sad picture it makes me sad, if its cute it makes me bubbly. <3 But... its diferent. Idk...

Hey guys, am I a bad person for
A. Loving a song on the Twilight soundtrack
or B. Loving it because I saw my favoret couple in it?

I have two minutes I have to animate now because I love this to death. I just have no idea how to get the video in my head onto the computer. I have the problem for quite a few songs. Anyone have any advice?

My advice is I give up. Thats what I do with all the other ones after I cant figure it out.
