--oh no exactly, this will be the second of about 30 paintings on da which will be fan art if i do another. and ill make sure its decent quality and of something with a bit of hype going around, and that i'd love painting

--If you want to do it, do it... who knows what could happen, maybe you're right. Just make sure to balance out the fan art with your own ideas... or else you might become known as "the fanart guy".

--yeh but looking at it, if i got say, 150 faves on dA from my first halo piece when i was an utter rookie, maybe i cant get 250 now (not that it matters) but from that, maybe 20 new watchers, then after that i may get more faves, more watchers as people see my art in other peoples fave gallery etc. basically i wanna get a bit of a snowbal going so by the time im pro i have a huge audience

--His art was already pro by that time though, I feel like if you are going to do that you have to blow people away in the first go... Like Rapoza did.
02 May 19:47
--well what about dave rapozas tmnt fanart his career skyrocketed from those pieces

--Isn't the goal to make your art stand out by itself? Without having to have a well known IP behind it?... Unless you really enjoy doing fan art, I wouldn't go for that idea.

--hmm what do you guys think about doing fan art mainly to attract an audience and get some exposure? just because i realised that my most popular piece was the first digital piece i ever did on dA, because it was a crappy Halo ODST illustration and people ate it up...

--the idea is that less color means you can focus more attention on composition and light, it doesn't have to be b/w
