for characters and places and actions. oi.

It's neat to think of how the person who created that particular picture of image reflects themselves a bit through it, too.

I KNOW. That is why I have such huge collections by now. I like to specifically look for artistic styles that are out of the norm

I started doing that with Link from LoZ, and eep...the picture collection expanded to 138 pics...

but I certainly have a newfound respect for artists who not only represent the original character well, but are able to imagine something

that's different/new

like extended imagining or something

I was never one who could do that well.

I went to creating my own characters/stories instead of expanding on someone else's

oh, definitely. As you know XD that is something that has always intrigued me. That is part of the appeal of AUs.

all fanart is an AU, in a sense 8|a

true.

also, random. After going crazy with all those music visualization videos, I ran into one that I thought sounded very Mushishi-like.
