>>19469428>fanart always makes me pretty sad. so much creative talent wasted reproducing other people's ideas.Artfags/Drawfags seldom dedicate their entire effort to churning out fanart.
Besides, fanart provides decent opportunity to tackle new styles, new approach, new settings - quite often outside of ones own comfort zone.
Then you also have exposure...
...and there is also the base will to credit beloved franchise with a work of your own.
