Been quite productive in the past 3 months.

I reckon I've done over 20 pieces in since June-July. It's probably the most productive I've ever been, and that's not including my comic! I feel pretty good about myself right now~ It's been a crazy couple of months, but in that time I've managed to tighten up my drawing and study coloring, which has been pretty important. I've also learned how to add details and work digitally, which has been a time saver. What does kind of suck is that, in the past week there's been a lot of talk about fan art laws, and that puts what could have been a nice business venture into the mud. I'm sure some people will still sell fanart, even though it's pretty much illegal to do so, but there's too many people doing it and it'd be hard to stop them all. That turns the issue into more of a morality stance - do you feel if it's okay to profit off of somebody else's ideas? It's hard to stifle a good idea, especially since most people's intellectual properties inspire many artists to do their own take on the idea. Fan art is also the main reason why fans A.) follow an artist B.) purchase pieces at conventions In a different world, artists would be able to sell their original ideas with as much fanfare as their fan art gets. Since that's not the case, and most artists want to be able to make money off of their art, it seems like we have no choice but to make fan art in order to bring fans in. I know the topic is more or less a "look the other way" view, but it still sucks to be in such a predicament. That being said, I was planning on making designs for t-shirts and eventually selling fan art of my own, but it seems almost taboo to do so now. Then again, these laws have always been around, so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Ah well. I'm gonna keep drawing.
