DK Suggested Fanart Meme
Keliren Visual Art DK30 Quarantine 2020 16 15
Description
There’s this great meme you can see over here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVAtmfLXkAEjxEP.jpg called #SixFanarts where you request communities to give you characters from existing IP to draw. I want to do two of them, 12 pieces total, from entirely DayKnights requests. :) Will try to do one every two days with some flexibility to prevent burnout, and one day dedicated to just thumbnailing. Still have slots available! Message me for requests!

Oh no guys. Guys. Have you seen this meme? If you look at a google search of #sixfanarts, you generally get some beautiful but simple pictures in one cohesive style. I uh…haven’t been doing that. I’ve been doing stuff like this:
This is not productive. Although I will finish this picture in the style because I started it, I put way too much stress on myself and when I started having problems sleeping I just didn’t have the spoons to stay on time. So I’m gonna keep going but I’m going to give myself a break.
Here is what I got so far! (Thank you guys for your suggestions, seriously I do appreciate it.)
So I’m three and a half of twelve. I might have to make this two projects.
Thank you for your patients guys.
Alright first week! Do you think I got my **** together and had a productive week smashing out three pictures? No I did not. Instead, I procrastinated and then futzed with my software and hardware for days, started a picture without doing a thumbnail and subsequently ditched it for a new one that I’m not sure I like more.
I did, however, get at least one picture done after setting up the meme format on Krita, the drawing software I will be using for this challenge.
After some deliberation, I’ve decided that I will release the first six after week two, on Friday the 8th (give or take depending on productivity) in fitting with the #sixfanarts theme. But in the spirit of seeing me struggle and know that I AM indeed working on stuff, here is the first one I did.
Phalanx from Shadow of the Colossus for member loopyloo. He has a very, very odd design and it was a challenge to try and do some foreshortening. I went through another design which looked more like this:
Before saying screw it and starting from scratch.
So for my next piece, I’m, going to be doing a few sketches in a sketchbook first, then scanning the lineart. It’s just more efficient that way and I have a tiny wacom bamboo tablet to work with at any rate. Anyway. I do hope Loopyloo ends up liking their picture. :) See you all next week!
Made a sample collection so people can see whereabouts my skill (not great lol) and style is. Sample Pictures https://imgur.com/a/kWOU02o
