"Everybody Does It!" Thoughts on risks and rewards of fan art

[@onikaizer]

a tricky subject, thanks for your insight! And it's very true, You can't do fanart that freely until it's a focused portfolio for a company. Paradoxical

[@27mth]

It's so hard to get people's attention when posting original drawing or etcBut either way I'll draw what I want to do most and keep learning!

[@dvpalumbo]

Yes, it's really unfortunate and I do see it as an extension of our franchise heavy pop culture. Long term I see more value in an audience built with original material, but it's WAY harder short term to get traction

i think its only 'really' an issue if you are making too much $ from it or putting the characters in a poor light according to the IP owner ? and its worth their time to pursue and not worth the free publicity aspect. You probably address all this in the video but I will say that an artist once did do a marvel black cat sketch for me on an AP of his mtg black cat card

[@dvpalumbo]

Yeah, totally. Essentially you just don't want to end up on the radar, but there's a lot of looking the other way as matter of course. Sounds like a cool AP sketch 😉
