Line 6:
Most commonly sourced from animation (both North American cartoons and [[Anime]]), since by nature animated characters are ''designed'' to be easy to draw. People with an interest in visual arts are also more likely to be animation fans than most others.
As for [[Live Action TV|live action]] shows, it takes a certain level of artistic sophistication to depict real people with any degree of recognition. That doesn't stop anyone, however, and any visually interesting or unique show is likely to have some fan-made pieces floating around. Most often these are [[Speculative Fiction]] shows, since most fan art based on ''normal'' people is more about the actor or actress than the character. Then again, an entire [https://web.archive.org/web/20130607061233/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/3d_celebrities_2/ Yahoo! Group] is dedicated to celebrity likenesses made with the Poser and FaceGen applications.
In Japan, '''Fan Art''' in manga form, from either anime or other manga, are called ''[[Doujinshi]]''. Technically, ''doujinshi'' can refer to all independently published manga, but to American anime fans it usually means a fan-made parody or erotica based on an existing work.
Line 20:
* See [http://www.deviantart.com/ DeviantART] for a large amount of Fan Art (as well as a wide range of original pieces). Beware, though -- [[Sturgeon's Law]] very much applies. Searching people's favorite artwork galleries can help a lot in finding good work, even more if you share the same taste than those people. If you like someone's artwork, consider checking their "favs".
* For a different kind of fan art also see [http://www.vgboxart.com/ vgboxart], a site/community that focuses on the creation of Fan Art in the form of covers. It started as a site for video game boxes (hence the name), but now it can be described as generalentertainmentboxart as works vary from games to movies to books. All sorts of [[Cover Tropes]] apply for the fan work seen there, a lot of uploads are actually good, and a select few are much better than the official packaging seen in stores.
* As mentioned above, a lot of webcomics have '''Fan Art''' sections. For example, [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/art.html Gunnerkrigg Court], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130815002024/http://community.910cmx.com/index.php?showforum=111 El Goonish Shive] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130815002601/http://zapinspace.com/fan_art.html Zap!].
** [[Casey and Andy]], too.
** The [[Whateley Universe]] forums now have a fan art section, and some of that is links to [[Deviant ART]] pages.
** Also, there is a section on the [[Looking for Group]] boards made for [https://web.archive.org/web/20120502014810/http://forums.lfgcomic.com/index.php?showtopic=1784 posting Fan Art] - though it should be noted that there is [https://web.archive.org/web/20110827200227/http://forums.lfgcomic.com/index.php?showtopic=1785 a separate page] for Fan Art feedback.
* [http://www.furaffinity.net Furaffinity] has an entire category dedicated to "[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]" art due to the enormous dump of Fanart. [[Sturgeon's Law]] applies liberally to this one.
** [[Pokémon]] and [[Digimon]] have their own categories as well, [[Rule 34|with their own]] [[Not Safe for Work]] [[Rule 34|sections]].
Line 35:
* [[Older Than Radio]]: The works of [[William Shakespeare]] have inspired art for hundreds of years, perhaps most famously Sir John Everett Millais' painting ''[[Hamlet|Ophelia]]''.
* A remarkable amount for ''[[Kim Possible]]'', encompassing [[Intercontinuity Crossover|crossovers]], the KP cast in other roles, [[Continuation Fic|Kim and Ron in the future]] (in college, married, with kids, or just older) and a ''lot'' of Kim and [[Foe Yay|her nemesis Shego]] in a [[Les Yay|lesbian relationship]]. Curiously, though [[Rule 34]] obviously applies, the last often tends toward being [[WAFF|cute]] rather than overtly sexual.
* There's a website called "[[Rule 34]] - If it exists there IS porn of it". [[Captain Obvious|Guess what it's dedicated to]]. We're not going to link to it.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'', naturally, has
