Update time!

Fan art, this specific kind of fan art, is a different ball game. I’ve got to make all of this my own; Tanjiro, Yongguk, the composition. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and anyone who says differently is not being transparent.

I got started with Tanjiro as he’s drawn but started to feel not great about the deeply Japanese motifs on a Korean model. Why? History. So I opted to do some research and some tweaking and have ended up with something I feel comfortable with, that I’m excited about bringing to life.

I’ve been thinking too about how The Art Establishment polices art, acting like this or that isn’t really art. That’s bullshit, by the way. The next time someone says to you “fan art isn’t real art” ask them about the Renaissance. Whole time period, lifted up by Gate Keepers, full of Biblical fan art.

Now that I’ve made myself irritated, have a photo of Hoshi being cute. Let it soothe you
