Welcome to #WebcomicTalk. Our topic this week is "fans." We have four more questions over four days.
Q2: "Has your comic received fan art? Can you share some of the art you've received?"
Please share your answer while including the hashtag #webcomicTalk so that other creators can join in on the conversation. You are welcome to respond to the question any time you see it, even weeks later. We'll boost replies regardless.
@webcomictalk well, some of my friends have drawn fanart of my OCs while their comic was being made eheheh...
I'd rather not share right now though, as they aren't on the fediverse and I don't want to post their art without express permission or a way to easily link to them within the same platform.
@webcomictalk Nope. Furthermore, the closest thing to a website of my own that I have is an unfinished wakelet collection with just loose illustrations of mine.
I would like to put my webcomics all in one website one day, but for now I only publish them to various social media, such as here on Mastodon, and to NewGrounds.
It only has a semblance of sustainability right now because they are few and short (unfinished)... Ideally I'll make a website before my next project/chapter.
@webcomictalk A2: A few people have drawn fanart of my comics over the years :D I'd rather not repost it without their permission though. Aside from regular fanart, I think some of my comic characters have been included as cameos in others' comics, but I don't think those comics are online any more.
Shitpost fanart is my favourite <3
Some friends have also drawn gift art, but I don't think that counts.
@webcomictalk I do not. I think I shared some of the fanart I got on my first couple of comics in the author comments, but I don't think I ever had a fanart section on any of my webcomics.
Most (all?) of the fanart on my recent comics has been posted in the Discord I have for my comics. It's a rather informal place so people just post their stuff when they feel like it, and there's no dedicated fanart section.
Yes I did and I asked for permission to share them.
These are just a few of them but I like them pretty much.
The others are on my Discord in the fan-art gallery.
@webcomictalk - Q2: "Has your comic received fan art? Can you share some of the art you've received?"
The ones I've loved is when other comic artists would send in some fan art. Here's one from Venus Envy, the OTHER trans webcomic in the early 2000s, and one from Grey Matters.
When fans would send fan art in, I'd often give them a chance to draw an episode themselves if they'd like, for exposure. Some took me up on the offer:
Q2. Over the years I've gotten quite a bit of fan art for my different series. Just look at all the cute stuff people have made. It's all so beautiful T_T
@webcomictalk I don't think #LandWalk is established enough to really get fan art (hopefully one day!), but some folks have done fantastic drawings of a few of my characters for Art Fight!
@webcomictalk Yes! Some stuff I've commissioned, but other times I've done art trades, or just gotten it spontaneously. A handful of highlights attached:
