Hmm… A profile? Okay…
Once upon a time… No. Too obvious.
There once was a fan-artist from… Too rubbish.
Deep in the dark and nasty regions where nobody goes… Too stolen.
Sigh. Well, let’s get going with the basics. I love cartoons. Traditional cell animation mainly (there’s the odd good bit of CGI animation out there… Look at the Incredibles), and the closer it is to the 80’s golden era the better. If there’s one thing I like doing it’s doing fanart of these various characters. Three main areas I suppose:
The Secret of NIMH: Great film. Legendary really. A very special movie that you really must see if you consider yourself to be an aficionado of animation. I actually have far more NIMH related art at Simon’s Secret of NIMH site (www.thornvalley.com). Look out for me in the gallery’s fanart section. Even if you hate my art check this site out; it’s the best NIMH site out there with other fantastic fan-artists, a friendly forum, and beautiful webpage design.
Sonic the Hedgehog: I’ve been a fan of the swift blue one ever since playing the original. I will come clean and say I haven’t actually played any of the games that were not on the old Megadrive, but by goodness if I haven’t kept up with events on Mobius. The character design is some of the best I’ve ever seen! I can’t help but do some of my own.
Redwall: Only got into this recently, but they are great books. I love knights of medieval stuff like that. Marry that with small furry animals being unpleasant to one another and you’ve got a wonderful little fantasy world. Best character hands down: Cluny the Scourge. The world is so rich it’s easy to create art for it.
Well those are the main sources of my fanart but not to the exclusion of other great cartoons.:
Transformers
Ulysses 31
Danger Mouse
Almost any of Don Bluth’s films
Dark Crystal
Watership Down
The BFG (Cosgrove Hall are legends, as is David Jason...)
Duckula
Anime including Battle Angel Alita, Gundam franchise, Slayers, Ghost in the Shell, Tenchi Muyo and has anyone heard of Grendizer (aka Force Five)?
Of course I wouldn’t be a proper fanboy if it wasn’t for comics and manga (Aqua Knight, Battlechasers, Judge Dredd, ABC Warriors, Spawn…).
Books: Redwall, Michael Marshall Smith's books (especially Spares)
Games: Halo 2, Morrowind, Soul Calibur 2.
And a final point to finish on: Star Wars -not- Star Trek!
Expect to see fanart from all these sources eventually (maybe; possibly; after breakfast).
Also... Check out fanfiction.net (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1093016/) for fanfiction…
Okay… I’ve rambled long enough. I love discussion and feedback so I’ll see you guys on the forums…
Cheers!
