The best fan art you won't find on TRF

There are certainly good and extraordinary artists on TRF. This thread was sort of like a wishlist of people who'd be great additions to the forum, and a bit of nostalgia for when this section used to be more active. Not to jinx anything, but it's already starting to turn around

(also have been commenting on some of your works on DA, like the spikewall one a while ago )

Thank you, you are so sweet. I didn't know you were a fan of my work on deviantART. What's your name on dA?

Oh that is one of my very old pictures. I should redo it, realistically like my style now and see how it would look.

And speaking of traditional artists - on DA there's a wonderful artist who has gorgeous TR fanart made the traditional way. Her nick is alineshenon:

I agree. It's just disappointing to me, that all the pieces people have been posting are strictly digital, except the one by Ana that Heather posted and Aline's too. Aline's a really good traditional artist, and I agree with you about digital/traditional.

I understand what you mean, it's just there are awesome artists on her too. Indre is definitely one (Bumio) and Cameliya (Nightwish) is pretty talented too and they're both on dA and TRF. I just don't like the idea of artists such as them and many others to go unnoticed. But I get what your intention was.

^ My nickname on DA is Valkyyria. I don't have really anything in my galleries there yet but I have many drawings that I'm gonna post, someday. A lot of Laras and other stuff. Maybe one of the reasons why I haven't done that yet is because I haven't done any digital painting. Just traditional pencil drawing.

I really like the idea of your spikewall drawing, so you should totally redo it!

Btw - I really like this thread! I haven't seen any thread about DA works on here yet

/Edit

I found this awesome drawing yesterday made by Kim-san:
