Deviant (Fan) Art

In my opinion, deviantART is the online equivalent of a modern art gallery, with a few exceptions. Millions of art pieces are showcased through vast categories, and many different styles and and artists are celebrated.

I like how deviantART asks you to state in your profile what kind of artist you are– and there are so many different kinds! I could’ve fit in so many categories, but for the current purposes of the account, I chose Artist: Photo Manipulator.

I opened my account over a month ago now, and so far, I have submitted one piece. This will be remedied immediately upon completion of my time here at BCIT.

Fan Art

I am a firm believer in fan art. Aside from fan-fiction, I believe that fan art is just another way for true fans to express their fandom. In a way, it unites the fan community– not to mention many fan-artists are also commissioned to do pieces for fan-fiction authors to complement their stories.

I only got into fan-art recently, being inspired by my cousin Adriel. His fanatic love for Emma Watson made me want to create a few pieces for him as a present. This got me hooked onto fan art in general.

Twilight

Around the same time (late last year), I started reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. This sparked a fresh wave of fandom across the internet, and it was only a matter of time before it hit me. I started two pieces featuring the two main characters, Bella and Edward. These two pieces made my final BCIT portfolio, but they are far from finished.

I was going to make a few others featuring other characters in the book, but I wanted to wait until they were actually cast for the movie so that I could use the real actors photos in my pieces. Again, these will have to wait until after finals here at BCIT.

Party People – Nelly featuring Fergie

My latest piece is one I am quite proud of actually. This is one that I neglected my homework for. I needed to make time for this one because I just couldn’t get the idea out of my head until I completed it. I really liked how it turned out–it’s very close to how I envisioned it. This was inspired by the song of the same name. It was released less than a week ago and I can’t stop listening to it!
