The series are missing fingers to tell their favorite characters in the series.The filmmakers have several sequences that marked them forever.A comic book lover loves a certain passage that he has read more than 20 times.eSports also have their favorite video game, and those characters that occupy a special place in the heart. We are all fans, but only a few practice fan art .
What does it represent? the fan art?
Fan art is the art that followers of an artistic, cultural and/or audiovisual manifestation make.They are, above all, visual works that refer to a work already created and that use the characters, the worlds or any allusion, to create a new, unique piece about that universe that another person created.
These creations make the original work, if possible, even larger and more popular, because they expand their universe and explore territories that the original author himself had not even imagined, because, this is the most beautiful, they are born from the Imagination of each artist and they are a totally free and personal expression, an own interpretation referring to that work.Each amateur captures his own concept of what he liked most about that movie, series, comic, book...and his work becomes a tribute.
In fan art there is nothing in return.That is, there is no economic consideration.Only love and gratitude of the reader/spectator for all that the work has given him .For all that It has made him sound, marvel, tremble...For the good times spent.It is sincere and pure thanks in the form of an artistic piece that, of course, does not always have the quality that we would like.
Because we can all do fan art.In fact, it is very common that, as children, we have drawn our favorite character, with greater or lesser success.If we go online, we will find spectacular works of the best fan art , with an artistic projection of doubt.But also more clumsy drawings.The fan art is made from the heart, and as the saying goes, the intention is what counts.
Where it comes from, where it goes
It would be difficult to define the origins of fan art, because the artistic manifestations have always existed and the authors who have been inspired by them and have honored them later, are not few.That is, could it be called fan art a the series of 'Las Meninas' that Picasso painted?
The most purists (there always are) put the starting gun, even so, in the first fanzines of the twentieth century.Fantasia and science fiction were the star genres that inspired artists who embodied their own vision of what they admired.That yes, many consider that the saga'Star Trek ' marked in the 70s the beginning of fan art as we know it .The fans of the series began to hold meetings in which Basically, they celebrated their love for the work, a kind of "cult" in which they also shared the works they created by referencing the series.
At present, the phenomenon of fan art has brutal repercussions in the wake of the explosion of digital media.Not only the tools have been diversified so that the authors can create authentic precious wonders in which the maximum care is taken detail, because the digital painting and retouching tools like Photoshop or Corel Painter are practically endless; but, in addition, there are many sites to share those images, from DeviantArt to purely visual networks such as Pinterest, Tumblr or Instagram. Fan art everywhere.
And what do the authors think?
Without a doubt, the theme of fan art can raise certain suspicions on the part of the original authors.To what extent is it legal for you to use my characters to make your own creations? We could consult many sites that talk about this topic to determine that the fan art is legal while nobody makes a profit with it , since the copyright does not correspond to that person.
Although the truth is that many authors are widely grateful for the displays of affection that fans capture in their artistic works.So, the writer GRRMartin , for For example, he has a section on his website dedicated to the fan art that his works have inspired.Likewise, the Spanish novelist Laura Gallego also dedicates a loving section to those creations made by lovers of her publications., both authors belong to the genre of fantasy.
They are not the only ones who feel that fan art is a manifestation of the love of fans.Recently, and on the occasion of the premiere of the movie `` Logan '' on the big screen, which assumes that Hugh Jackman has been the face for 17 years visible from one of the most charismatic X-Men, the actor thanked the support of his fans by sharing a video on social networks with different fan art that Wolverine had starred in.

If you don't have fan art, you're not famous or you're na
Oh, you swagger that you are the fashion series, the movie of the century, the videogame of the millennium...Don't talk to me about followers, tell me how many fan art pieces they've dedicated to you.
The phenomenon of the television series is a hotbed of fan art of all kinds.A fiction like ' Game of Thrones' has more pieces created as a tribute, than dead characters in its chapters.For example, on Instagram, the gameofthronesfan_ar account, with more than 30,000 subscribers, is uniquely dedicated to the pieces of anonymous creators who love the HBO series (and Martin's novels, which have read them, of course).
In the world of cinema, the most charismatic works have been reinterpreted by fans.There are few authors whose value, associated with his homage to the seventh art, has been recognized by critics and public.Graphic designer Flore Maquin She is very famous for her movie poster recreations .And yes, some surpass the original in spectacular.
As it could not be otherwise, the world of comics, especially referenced in superheroes, is one of the absolute protagonists of fan art of all kinds.It is one of the most important genres that inspires artists of all kinds In fact, a website like ComicArtFans collects samples of works by authors from around the world and presents their pieces as authentic works of art.On the site you can see very old works that have a high cultural and iconic value in case themselves .
And, of course, we cannot forget the world of videogames.There are forums where League of Legends or Overwatch fans can share their creations or enjoy those of others.A curiosity about this phenomenon occurred the year happened when the cartoonist Roman Kenney, who works for Blizzard, «turned» the character invented by a small fan into a creation of the purest Overwatch style.For the reaction of the video, it seems that the girl It was quite exciting.
