Actually fanart and fanfic are often compared but the funniest point of comparison is how you express that you like it. Like it’s pretty common and welcome praise to tell a writer they get the voice of a character perfectly or whatever but if you told a fanartist “this is great I can really tell this is that character” you would sound insane
(Looks at drawing of Mario) dude the way you draw Mario. Like you just KNOW that’s Mario
Ok but if I ever say this about a drawing of Alan Bradley from Tron, know that this is the best compliment ever
It is easy as fck to draw a white guy with brown hair and glasses and a suit. It is HARD AS FUCK to make him recognizable as bruce fuckin Boxleitner
If you can do it YOU DESERVE RECOGNITION DAMMIT
