Now, we all know what fanart is right? It's art drawn by fans of a particular thing.

Here, post the best fanart you've ever seen. NOT official art by an organization or anything of the sort. But, art drawn by people like you and me. It also must be fanart, meaning it is of some sort of hobby, which is most likely anime, a video game, or something else.

You MUST give credit to the owner and creator of the art. They worked very hard on it, and they deserve to be known by everyone. Make sure to insert a hyperlink to the site in which the fanart truly resides.

If you do not give credit to the fanart's creator, I will give a warning. A real one, yes.

Follow my format:

Sosious
Mouse-drawn by Rikku of US Ragnarok Online Community Fanart Center
Drawn with mouse-only in open canvas. Took 10 hours to complete. (You don't have to announce how long it took, but best to include it.)



Oh yes, and if you must speak, speak quietly about the fanarts. In other words, praise them without spamming.

YOU DIDN'T DRAW THAT!!!! 0_0 NO WAY!!! :C That is too good!! WAAAAYYYY to good.

Okay, Reflux. That is good. Tell me, can you draw some fanart of...say...Ivan?

Not much is known because of korean origin. Done by ±èÁ¾ÀÏ of Ragnarok Online Korea Fanart Section

I feel so inferior to all the photoshopness... '-_- I dunno how to use it and make cool pictures into color. But, I can draw with a pencil and paper! Yay old fashioned stuff! Uh... I dunno how long it took, I did it over the course of 4 days when i had free time in school (not often). It's Dark and Krad, of DNAngel. Heheh.... I know the wings are messed up. I mean to fix it, but I no longer have the original... '-_-

Reflux where are you? Aren't you in the process of drawing Ivan?

he didn't draw that... he got it from this page

http://pantransit.reptiles.org/images/2001-09-23/

that image was drawn in 2001 as you can see

search for i_denim.jpg on that page

How do you know that's not Reflux's page?

he said he just finished it and that page is dated for 2001

Good point! Reflux, I'm disappointed with you. I'd give you a warning, but I'm too nice. Consider yourself lucky. :D (but if you do it again, I'll give you 2 warnings.)

The Path Of Light- Ragnarok Online
Artist: Hope Angelis; Source: Ragnarok Online Community Fanart
Took 38 hours to complete.

Hmmm. I think the Ragnarok Online stuff is just okay. There isn't really anything that makes it special for me. :/

I thought some of it was pretty good, but I'm unfamiliar with RO, as I have never seen/played/read about it, so I have no idea what these pictures are about.

I used to be good at drawing. If I ever get free time, I want to try to draw Ivan. I did it once, but I cant remember if it was any good.

that would be good! :}

i do to want to draw him! :}

The Sky is my Canvas
Artist: Unknown



Interesting story that goes with this one. (Read at your own risk)

I have a buddy from college who is totally into hentai (to the point where it's taking over his life). Anyway, he knows that I don't like hentai, and sometimes he sends me links to sites that contain hentai just to mess with me. Of course, he cleverly disguises the links in such a way that it might be a site worth checking out (which he usually gives me links to, 70% of the time). Anyway, the particular site I found this image on isn't really hentai (I think that's obvious from looking at the thumbnail) but it's just full of cute girls (unfortunately, the site no longer exists). He still says it's hentai, though. I guess sometimes his little tricks on me backfire because this image just took my breath away when I saw it. B)

Eee, the 'drawing on sky with chalk' is a neat idea for a picture!

...So this guy just randomly sends you hentai links? That's... an interesting thing to do.

Yeah, that is pretty wierd...
Well, it is better than sending him tubgirl, as many people have been known to do. For those of you who don't know what tubgirl is, I envy you, and I am not going to ruin your happiness by telling you.

I have found some really old mediocre fanart of ivan that I drew...maybe I will post it if I can get the scanner working.

I've heard of tubgirl. Haven't seen it, thankfully. That sky canvas one's cute. :heart:
I might as well add one of my favourite pieces too.



This is apparently by Q-Game, from the site Shining House, but the link there seems to be broken, so this is from a french site that barely seems to work either; most of the images don't load. I'm just glad this one does.

Oh, that is so cool. It's a little strange to see Alex with a djinni, but still a really nice picture. B)

Wha-whaoW!!!! Any good hand drawn pictures of Golden Sun characters are hard to find! But to find Alex? Wow, great picture! Great find, left on the brink of destruction on a site at the edge of Weyard!

Hmmm. I was just thinking of something else. Alex's hair is wrong. He has a mullet. It's not really that long at all. I suppose it's a good effect, though. B)

Once again, nice find, Rozzlynn.

Yep, it is cool. Must be that frigid air at the edge of Weyard, where the land falls away, snow spiralling off into space...

Forget 'one of', that one is my favourite. I truly wish I could see everything the artist might have drawn. Alex's hair could be almost that long; he could look like that after only a few months of letting it grow, I'm sure.

While that find was on a french site that I got to via an american site, good hand drawn Golden Sun characters aren't quite so hard to find if you look round the japanese sites the Alex fanlisting links to and use Google to try and find the sites at the other ends of all the broken links, and to translate the menus... Well, that's a little fiddly too, to be honest. I guess I should add some more to the museum. Most of those fanarts still aren't as good, though.

There's some good stuff at Intermezzo. (Edit - thanks Marlin!)


As there are quite a few Ivan fans here.


The modern look is a little strange in a few of them:




Alex looks very strange in one.


I'm kind of fond of this one of Piers.


And this one. (That's a hairband.)


And finally, there's a cute one of Jenna and Garet.

Rozzlynn. I've increased the file upload limits to 500 kb. However, most people have free imageshack accounts. Look at the URL of the chalk-girl I posted from the last page. Or I think it might be imageshack.us

You can upload huge images there and they'll provide you with free thumbnails. Good site. B)

Uhh... it seems no-one noticed my edit. What do you think? Is it worth adding more, or is the stuff from these sort of little Japanese fansites not quite Museum-quality?

Oh, most of the stuff I upload isn't really "fanart" but it's just high quality drawings people make.

Most of those are really cool. I'll save them to my computer later. B)

But yes, editing a post doesn't bump the topic. I can't think of any setting in the admin control panel that would allow that.

And quite rightly too. I'd merely have thought that for people who signed on later, those would have been new posts anyway. I guess not that many members frequent this thread. Your non-fanart uploads are very high quality, so I wouldn't want to lower the standard with anything even if it is fanart. Still, I think there's a fair bit I might be able to add, if those were good. Later, though.

Yes, they are pretty good. My favrite is the one of Garet and Jenna. :happy: Please, by all means, add more!

Hmmm. Personally, I like the Felix and Jenna one. Aristocracy! :D :}

:ohmybig:

Lies! Alex most certainly does NOT have a mullet.



And here's a fanart of Alex and Mia! Long hair!

Long hair... nice. ^_^
Like the fanart too. :heart: Alex looks a little strange, but not majorly so. Mia looks fantastic there.

Well, here are a few from a site I think is called Blue Cat. It seems to have been missing or broken or something for a few months now. If it ever comes back, or I find where it's gone or something, I'll be able to add the link. For now, this is all I have of it.


Scruffy yet vivid. I used this as my desktop for a while.


One of my favourite all-eight images.


Wrong time of year, but never mind.


A bit of mudshipping I actually like.


Anyone have any clue what they're saying?


:heart:

Yeah, yeah. He has a mullet. Your pictures are being blocked right now because I'm at work so I can't see them. u_u

But one of the older issues of Nintendo Power nominated Alex for a Nintendo Power Award of "Best Mullet." Also, If you go upstairs in the Alhafra inn (continent of Osenia) you can meet Alex and see that I'm right. His hair only comes down to just below his neck. Mullet. :ninja:

Anyway, I'll try to translate the conversation between Ivan and Mia. However, I'm afraid there is quite a bit of Kanji mixed in with the Hiragana. If it was written in all Hiragana I wouldn't have any problems. I'll see what I can do, though. :(

Great pics, as always, Rozzlynn. B)

EDIT: Okay, here's Menardi for comparison: SHE has long hair.

Okay. I'm double posting here because I want to start a new thought.

Anyway, I went delving into my archives and I found some more goodies. I'll show them slowly so that they last longer. And I get to torture you that way! :} :D

Naw. Enjoy.



The image has some kind of watermark in the lower right. I can't make it out and I've tried several combinations. Maybe somebody else could have better luck.

Be warned though, that I got this image from that buddy I mentioned that likes to send me links to hentai. u_u

wait, wait, wait, for someone to have a mullet your saposed to have short hair in the front
clearly for these pics he has long hair in the front and back



mia has more chance of having a shemullet then alex :dry:

Hmm. Lets just agree to disagree on this one.

Anyway, I have another goodie.



I have no idea what it says, but it's pretty!

The second one won't load; the first one looks great. Nicely coloured, all autumnal. The watermark just looks like games.enet.com.cn to me, which loads as a huge-looking Japanese site with games pictures. (That's probably the one.)

Should I wait until you're done with that thought before I add any more GS things?

Oh, and Lor, I forgot to ask - where did that fanart come from?

Hmmm. Both of the pictures I just uploaded are working fine as far as I can tell. Why don't you try it again?

Oh, and Lor's image is the title "Splash Page" for Lemurian Moon (a defunct GS site hosted by GS Realm).
