✧✦ canvas ✦✧ hyunjin x fem!reader 1.1k words kinks & warnings: artist!hyunjin, unprotected sex, threw in some art metaphors because i could, dirty talk, hyunjin has a big dick, cumplay, overall pretty soft and sweet.

Hyunjin is an artist.

His lofty studio apartment is filled to the brim with various supplies.  Two large easels with partially completed works take residence in his living room, boxes of paints and markers and pencils and crayons are stacked neatly in the empty space next to his couch, and sketchbooks are literally everywhere.  One time you went into the bathroom and found one next to the shower, another time one was left on the kitchen counter, flipped open to a page decorated with an incomplete sketch of the city skyline as seen from his bedroom window.

He is an artist, and you?

You are his muse.

He doesn’t always draw inspiration from your appearance -- although there are many portraits of you gracing the pages of his favorite leather bound sketchbook -- but mostly from your aura.  Just being around you gives him peace; clears his mind of anything negative or chaotic and imbues him with the confidence that he can paint or draw or sculpt anything that his heart desires.

And tonight, his desires are focused on you.

He dyes your lips cherry red with his kisses, leaves splotches of baby pink that turn to cobalt on your neck with his pearly white teeth.  You bite back a moan as he laves your erect nipples with his tongue, his fingers running up and down your pussy, coating the digits with your slick.  You’re so fucking turned on and so fucking done with this lazy pace that he’s setting.  You grab the wrist of the hand that’s teasing you and pull him forward, your legs wrapping even tighter around his hips as you dig your heels into the small of his back.  Hyunjin’s eyes widen in surprise and then flutter shut in ecstasy a moment later when you rub yourself on his hard cock, a pleased hum reverberating in your chest when the head bumps against your clit.

“I need you, Jinnie.”  You capture the lobe of his ear between your teeth, pulling lightly on the soft flesh, grinning when his breath catches in his throat.  His ears have always been sensitive.  “Please.  I can’t wait any longer.”

The growl that leaves him makes you throb with need, the head of his cock pushing gently against your entrance as his tongue runs hot over your collarbones, leaving goosebumps in its wake.  He’s slow to enter you, taking special care since you never gave him a chance to stretch you with his fingers.  The slide in is tight but easy enough given how wet you are and when he’s buried to the hilt, you groan deeply at the sensation of being so utterly full.  Hyunjin is bigger than the previous partners you’ve been with and you never put too much importance on size but you absolutely love this feeling.  With every thrust you lose a bit of breath, the snap of his hips shunting you up the bed, his fingers digging into your hips hard enough to bruise.

“God, babe.  You’re so beautiful like this.”  Hyunjin leans down and presses his body to yours, his pace slowing so he can grind against you with tiny swivels of his hips, no space at all between the two of you.  “Laid out naked with your legs spread for me, so eager for my cock.  You paint such a pretty picture.”

He stretches up slightly to rest on his forearms, his fingers gripping the sheets near your head.  He pulls out until only the head of his cock is inside of you and then slams forward, his teeth gritting as he fucks you harder harder harder, your eyes rolling back in your head at the sheer amount of pleasure that’s taking over you.

“I wish that everyone could see you like this,” he pants, tongue darting out to wet his lips.  “But I’m too selfish and want to keep your beauty all to myself.”

The thought of someone else seeing you in this state sends an unexpected zap of arousal to your core and that’s something that can be addressed later but right now, all of your attention is on Hyunjin and the tightening coil in your belly, your moans and pleas reaching a fever pitch now that you’re close to release.

Hyunjin knows you and your body very well and doubles his efforts, thrusting into you harder and faster, his right hand sneaking between your bodies and finding your clit easily.  He presses his thumb hard against the swollen bud and rubs it in tight circles, using the perfect pressure to send you over the edge as quickly as possible.  Your body is trembling, the muscles in your thighs twitching spasmodically as you fall apart, a litany of curse words spilling from your lips while white hot pleasure warms your body.  As you come down from your high Hyunjin pulls out and straddles you with his knees bracketing your hips, his golden skin covered in a thin sheen of sweat.  He tugs roughly on his cock and and it doesn’t take long until he’s coming, a low groan leaving him as his release lands on your stomach, painting your skin with white.

His beautiful lips stretch in a satisfied grin and you mirror his expression, feeling completely and totally blissed out.  He gets off of the bed, careful not to whack you with his knee, and slips on his previously discarded boxer briefs before going into the bathroom and wetting a washcloth so he can clean you up.  He wipes the drying cum from your skin and tosses the rag into the hamper that’s situated in the corner of the room, his lips brushing softly against your stomach, between your breasts, and up to your lips which are puckered in invitation.  He kisses you deeply, lovingly, and then he climbs into bed next to you, one arm slung over your waist, his face pressing into your hair.

“Don’t do that,” you whine while lightly pinching his side.  “I’m sweaty and gross.”

Hyunjin chuckles and breathes in comically deep, laughing harder as you swat his stomach.

“I don’t care,” he states, tilting your chin up with his finger and capturing your lips with his own.  “Let me love on you.”

And so you do, happily allowing him to cuddle you as if his life depends on it.  You’re warm and content, growing more and more drowsy with every passing second.  You peck the base of his throat and settle down to sleep, smiling serenely when he murmurs ‘goodnight love’ and kisses your forehead.

Sacha Cohen ( Itchi )

Sacha Cohen is another collage artist who uses the analog techniques like cut, paste, move etc, there are many positives when it comes to making a hand-made collage but there are also negatives. For one, you cannot easily resize an image when it's already printed off, therefore you must find ways to make what you have work. However there struggle is part of the fun and can lead you to super creative and unique ideas, whereas digitally you have a lot more control but less opportunities to work spontaneously.

What I also notice about his work is how the pages are never completely filled, Cohen always leaves negative space (usually off white) to direct focus onto the collage itself. But what really makes them stand out is the use and combination of imagery and colour, the blend of detailed photography and coloured shapes work really well together, as complicated and simply imagery balance each other out.

Where other artists may focus on creating a whole collaged together scene, Cohen highlights the pure look and shape of what eps putting together. Therefore it doesn't have to look finished or make sense, it's simply an amazing collage that creatively tells a story. Overall I think his art is extremely unique and interesting, I aim to take inspiration from Cohen especially when it comes to his use of old fashioned images in a modern design.

The first example consists of paper cut outs, a dashed line and paint, taking different images/textures and combining them to create a unified piece of art. Within the images of a woman you can see in the style of clothing and hair that she is from the 50s, a prominent colour she wears is red on the lips, dress and slightly the hair. Cohen has noticed this and worked with it, the collaged number 6 is bright red as is a small shape. However he also balanced the colour out with other clear colours like blue and green, this is subtle but still adds a colourful aspect whilst leaving space.

As for the negative space you can see a slight texture to it which isn't usual for Cohen, however I think this adds much more character just by having imperfections (not one solid colour). Another uncommon aspect he added was a paint stroke that covered one of the women's face, however just by seeing the pouted mouth could refer to covering up the negative and displaying the positive.

This next collage has 4 elements: a retro image, ripped blue paper, a letter 'A' cut out and connected dots and lines. Like in many of his pieces it's all very compact and held together in the middle of the page, interacting the different parts together to contrast and balance the imagery into art. With only 4 elements the piece is very minimal, bit this mens the smallest things can be so impactful. For example the lines and dots are such small details, however without them the piece would look empty. Therefore I feel inspired to have the little things make a big change/difference, which means minimising the style to allow space. I also like how the negative space is a cream colour rather than white, because it looks more apart of the art rather than a collage on a blank canvas.

What I like about this piece is the retro feel that all the elements portray, so when collaged creates a beautiful retro piece of art. For example the typography, especially the '700', has an instantly recognisable retro style, And the woman photograph is clearly from the 50s/60s, as well as being in black and white which matches with the old style, and stands out as a main feature.

The shape of the woman's cut out is also a small but clever design detail, where it curves and points down to create a beautiful shape, and you can still see the image clearly. Another unique element in this piece is the patterns, specifically the halftone pattern which adds different accents. However all the patterns contrast well with the large blocks of bright red, as they do with the typography.

My next example has more elements than some others, however it looks extremely minimal and simple. This means it has a perfect balance of simple and detailed, therefore looking delicate yet so intriguing. What I find interesting is the choice of imagery, the arm is clearly a child's which is odd for us to see. However the things we're not used to are the more intriguing things, because it's weird but cool. Apart form a few red circles, there isn't much bright colour in this piece. I think this is also why it looks like there's a lot of negative space, and therefore portraying a simple/minimal collage. Surprisingly I think this piece holds a lot of power, considering it consists of so little, but that's what allows small details to really stand out.

This final example stands out for all its different elements and how they're used, most of his pieces are made with paper and pen whereas this piece uses paint, crayon, pencil and paper. It also has an overall messy look to it when usually his art is clear and clean, this is seen through the strokes of paint, scribbles of crayon, jagged pencil lines etc. The paper has been deliberately worn down too, which creates a real sense of texture and adds character.

Although the whole piece looks very worn out, I also think it's fun because of the variation of colours incorporated. The only uncoloured part of the collage is the old photograph, however it has been merges with colour by adding other materials that gently but surely colour over the image. This inspires me to experiment with unusual materials when it comes to creating handmade collages, because they could lead to making something unexpected and unique.

Jackson Pollock. Untitled. 1938-41. Drawings, brush and ink, gouache on brown paper.

Jackson Pollock. Untitled.1943.  Drawings, pen and ink on paper.

Jackson Pollock is an American artist who under the care of psychologist Joseph Henderson, produced many psychoanalytic drawings informed by surrealism and automatic drawing techniques. The above drawings are 3 out of 83 that Pollock provided to Henderson as an analytical aid. 

Pollocks work was more relevant to my practice last semester when I looked at psychoanalysis and its relationship with art. However, With my Orbs series, I am taking inspiration from Rotchenberg ink blots, with the intention of creating ambiguous shapes that can be interpreted by the audience to give insight into their own psyche. The colour, shapes, and movement in Pollock’s works inform me in ways I could potentially expand my videos works and my drawings.

Jon Schueler. 1956. The first day. Oil on canvas. 121.9 h x 228.6 w cm

Jon Scheler is an abstract expressionist who in this work depicts the first day of the universe, as God creates it in the Christian religion. “ In contrast, Schueler renders the dazzling beauty of light as it is divided into colour. Theories about perception, the chemistry of paint and the meaning of colour become important in his realisation of such a difficult subject” ( Dixon, Christine. 2018).

When viewing this work, I was particularly interested in how he combines colour to depict light, light and colour being two things I have experimented with this semester. This traditional type of painting interests me as a starting point to investigate its potential if it was to be translated into a digital and temporal format.

Al Wald. Skywatch II. 1971. Paintings, synthetic polymer paint on canvas. 183.3 diameter.

Inspired by Abstract Expressionism, Wald creates geometric shapes and spatial ambiguities. These shapes can be referred to as ambistructural abstractions which refers to how they recede and expand due to the optical illusion. Held also investigated the restrictive palette seeing colour as unnecessary and using only the formal element of the black line on a white background to create this work. He uses this, and the circular canvas to allow this work to almost ascend to an object rather than a painting.  

Originally I was interested in this work due to my current project of creating orbs and interesting visual effects within the confines of a circle. The visual illusions and how this reflects our perception of light also has relevance and made me consider how some of my projection works rely on the visual illusion of depth, and this is something I should consider to a greater extent when expanding and finishing my work on projects like Nostolgia Glitch (2018).

W.i.P.

                                             A  Work  in  Progress    

                                               By: Scribe’s Work                                                    May 23 2017

Art -  1. The  expression  or  application  of  human  creative  skill  and  imagination,  typically  in  a  visual  form  such  as  painting  or  sculpture,  producing  works  to  be  appreciated  primarily  for  their  beauty  or  emotional  power.

2. The  various  branches  of  creative  activity,  such  as  painting,  music,  literature,  and dance.

Art.  So  many  ways  to  interpret  it.  It  has  different  meanings  to  everyone,  or  no  meaning  at all.  But  it  usually  means  something  to  someone. Art,  one  word,  has  many  different  'meanings,'  depending  on  the  way  you  look  at  it.

Art  isn't  a  new  thing,  it's  a  VERY  old  practice.  Ranging  from  cave  walls  to  today's  modern  art  on  digital  surfaces.  It  can  be  found  on  cave  walls,  carved  into  stone,  painted  on  canvas,  sketched  on  paper,  or  ( more recently)  drawn  digitally.  And  this  is  only  meaning  in  the  'typical'  art  form  of  drawing/painting.  Music  is  quite  old  as  well. Art  might  not  seem  important;  but  it  is.  Art  served  as  a  method  of  story  telling  as  well  as  a  way  to  keep  record  of  things  before  written  language  was well  developed.  And  after  that,  it  served  as  a  medium  of  expression,  of  feeling,  or emotion,  a  message of the generation.  "Art  is  a  reflection  on  life.  Life  isn’t  something  we can  cut  and  fix.  It’s  always  in  a  state  of  flux." ~El Anatsui.  Art  reflects  the  generation  that  it  was  made  in.   

           Artists  have  been  many  different  sorts  of  people  through  the  ages.  Some  of  my  favorites  shall  be  listed  below,  along  with  the  name  of  a  piece  of  their  art.

Georgie O'Keefle  (Born November 15, 1887 – died March 6, 1986 age 98)  –  Blue and Green Music 1919 - 1921  Oil On  Canvas, Based  on  the  idea  that  music  could  be  translated  into  something  for  the  eyes. 

Leonardo da Vinci  (Born  April  15, 1452 – died May 2, 1519 age 67)  –  The Battle of Anghiari 1505,  also  known  as  "The Lost Leonardo"

Michelangelo  (Born  March 6, 1475  –  February 18, 1564 age 88)  –  Sistine Chapel  1508  -  1512,  Michelangelo  seriously  hated  doing  the  ceiling.

Vincent van Goph  (Born  March 30, 1953  –   July 29, 1890 age 37)  –  Wheatfield with Crows  1890,  one  of  his  last  paintings.

Damien Hirst  (Born June 7, 1965  –  still alive, age 52)  –  The Unbearable Lightness of Being 2003,  one  of  his  more  normal  pieces. 

Damien Hirst  is  the  best  one  to  end  the  list  with,  for  he  is  the  one  that  brings  us  up  to  modern  times  and  art.  Many  of  his  pieces  are  odd.  But,  most  modern  art  seems  to  take  this  in  some  stride.  Colors  and  blobs,  oddities  and  strangeness,  abstract.  Absract  Art  is  currently  the  most  'popular'  big  time  art.  Sometimes,  there  are  meanings,  sometimes  not.  It  is  sometimes  viewed  negatively  by  those  that  don't  understand  it,  I  myself  don't  get  half  of  the  modern  art,  but  it  does  still  carry  meaning  to  someone.  Art,  in  most  any  form,  is  still... art.

And  Speaking  of  art  and form,  there  are  many  different  sorts  of  art  forms.  Traditional -paper,  canvas,  sculptures  and  such-,  Digital -art  done  electronically-,  Sculpting -self  explanatory,  and  mixed-media ( a  mixing  of  multiple  other  art  forms ).  Now,  a  bit  on  each  sort  of  art  type.              Traditional,  the  older  art  form,  also  the  most  accepted.  Now-a-days,  the  term  'Traditional  art'  mostly  means  paper  and  pencil,  canvas  and  paint;  though,  sometimes  pottery  and  sculpting  are  considered  part  of  the  'Traditional'  art form.  Paper  and  pencil,  the  simplest  way  of  drawing/sketching.  

Many  a  person  doodles  in  a  notebook  with  their  #2  pencil.  Of  course,  the  more  into  drawing  in  the  traditional  fashion,  the  more  expensive  the  hobby  can  get.  With  the  huge  amount  of different  supplies.  Charcoal  sticks,  kneaded  erasers,  crayons,  markers,  and  the  many  brands  of  each  of  these  few examples.  Take  crayons  for  example,  a  shortened  list  of  crayon  brands:  Binney & Smith (Crayola),  E. Steiger & Co.,  Franklin Mfg Co.,  Eberhard Faber., Charles A. Bowley.,  Joseph Dixon Crucible Co.,  Prang Educational Company.,  B.B. Crayons...  That's  the  name  of  a  few.             And   that's  just  with  paper,  things  get  even  more  crazy  when  one  adds  in  the  canvas  and  painting  factors,  as  well  as  just  any  expense  of  art.  When  painting  is  the chosen  art  form  though,  the  expense  does rise  a bit.  But  by  gosh,  it's  a  medium  that  is  so  popular  and  good.             Of  course,  there  is  also  pottery  and  sculpting.  Which,  as  they  do  fit  in   the  'traditional'  category,  are  so  very  different  than  the  past  two.  It's  such  a  different  set  of  actions  that  are  involved.             And  finally,  mixed  media.  Mixed  Media  is  the  use  of  a  variety  of  media  in  a  work  of  art,  mixing  charcoal  sketching  with  watercolor  for  instance.  Or, using  both  paints  and  markers  on  the  same  piece.  Or  putting  a  3D  picture  with  a  statue.            There  of  course,  Digital  art  as  well.  Usually,  there  are  fewer  initial  supplies  that  are  needed  when  doing  digital  art.  But  getting  a  good  tablet/screen  to  do  said  art  on  is  often  expensive.  It  doesn't  have  some  of  the  same  issues  as  Traditional  art,  such  as  trying  to  get  a  glow  effect  or  trying  to  make  something  that  has  a  difficult  pattern,  digital  can  make  those  problems  mostly  go  away.  It  does  have  its  own  issues  though:  wearing  down  your  nib (the  tip  of  the  special  pen),  batteries,  working  with  layers,  and  picking  an  art  program. 

"A  picture  is  a  poem  without  words." ~ Horace

Of  course,  drawing  and  painting  aren't  the  only  form  of  art.  Writing  is  also  an  art form.  This  is  the  art  that  tests  your  vocabulary.  There  are  pros  and  cons  to  writing,  one  good  thing  is  that  it  requires  less  hand – eye – coordination.  Even  if  you  are  writing  something  on  paper,  it  just  takes  a tad  less  effort.  Of  course,  creative  writing  ( making  up  stories )  does  test  your  ability  to  "world  build"  and  have  character  development.            There  are  several  ways  to  categorize  a  story,  one  way  is  by length – is  it  short  or  longer -, how  many  there  books/stories  there  are  to  a  certain  idea – trilogies or  series  with  fewer/more  books –.  Short  stories  have  less  time  dedicated  to  them,  and  the  plot  has  to  move  along  faster,  often  a  bit more  romanticized ( deal  with  or  describe  in  an  idealized  or  unrealistic  fashion,  to  exaggerate )  than  most  books  of  a  larger  word  count.            Then  there's  poems,  also  known  to  tell  stories  or  just  describe  a  thing  or  emotion. Sufferer ~Scribe's Work Once  and  a  day a  time  has  passed thoughts  drift memories  shift I  was  holding  on I  was  holding  out Keeping  my  grip But  fingers  slip The  head  is  hurting Fog  invades  the  mind hands  tremble surroundings  crumble Eyes  untrusting Sights  dusting Pain  growing Soul  is  glowing Defeated  I  am  not With  no  worrying  thought Though  I  do  suffer I  remain.

  Some  are  really,  really  short  and  others  are  SUPER  long.  Older  poetry  often  held  true  to  certain  form  and  scheme,  but  modern  poetry,  more  or  less,  throws  that  out  the  window.

"Mary  had  a  little  lamb,  little  lamb,  little lamb~ Who's  fleece  was  white  as  snow~ And  everywhere  that  Mary  went,  she  threw  the  lamb out  the  window~!" ~Version of little lamb being chanted at work (5/10/17)

The  thing  of  sheep  can  cleanly  bring  us  up  to  the  next  topic  of  fabrics  and  dye.  Clothing  is  a  sort  of  art  too.  Older  style  clothes (particularly women's)  were  often  a  huge  amount  of  decorated,  or  at  least  pretty,  fabric.  The  fancier  the  skirt,  the  more  expensive  it  was.  There  are  some  that  would  have  embroidery  on  them  that  mimicked  the  patterns  of  stained  glass  windows  or  just  fantastically  complicated  patterns.

Of  course,  then  there  are  the  less  complicated  ways  of  making  art  on  fabric.  One  that  can  be  done  at  home! Tye Dye!  Dye  is  a  fun  and  messy  way  of  adding  color  to  clothing.

Speaking  of  fun,  have  you  ever  watched  an  animation?  Well,  animation  is  yet  another  sort  of  art.  And,  just  like  still  art,  there  are  many  different  forms  of  animation:  Traditional  ( example:  Disney's Fantasia ),  CGI  (example: Rise of the Guardians ),  Rotoscope animation (example:  The Lord of the Rings 1978 ),  Claymation (example:  Shaun the Sheep ),  Stop Motion animation (example:  Kubo and the Two Strings ),  Flash  Animation (example:  Wakfu ).  There  are  more  than  this,  but  many  of  them  are  different  sorts  of  similar  animations.  Now,  animation  combines  the  skill  of  drawing  and  story  telling  in  moving  form ( cause  comics  also  tell  a  story,  though,  they  do  not  move).  These  animated  videos  can  range  from  a  few  seconds  in length  to  several  hours,  but  even  getting  a  few  moments  of  animation  can take  days.  Most  shorter  videos  are  done  by  one  animator,  while  most  movie-length  animations  have  a  team  of  at  least  three.           There's  also  video-editing  I'm  going  to  put  under  the  term  animation.  Because,  they  are  animating  in  way,  just  onto  a  pre-existing  video.

And  the  concept  of  animated  movies  brings  me  to  voice  acting.  Voice  acting  is  the  art  of  conveying  the  emotion,  thoughts,  and  words  of  a  character  in  fiction.  Just  through  the  use  of  one's  voice,  of  course,  there  usually  is  an  animated  figure  that  will  later  be  adding  expression  and  movement  to  these  lines.  But,  sometimes,  there  isn't  and  it's  just  the  voice. 

            Which  brings  me  to  acting.  In  both  movies  and  plays.  The  art  of  acting.  Having  to  be  someone  you  are  not. In  movies,  there  is  the  ability  to  do  retakes,  but  the  stunts (when  done  with  practical  effects )  are  quite  impressive.  In  a  play,  there  is  only  the  one  chance  to  get  it  right,  so  there  is  a  bit  of  more  pressure,  but  also  there  usually  isn't  as  much  fame  and  social  pressure  to  being  a  play  actor  nowadays.

Going  off  the  idea  of  filming,  there  is  also  the  art  of  photography.  Still  pictures,  taken  with  a  camera.  It  can  range  from  a  scenery  shot  to  a  person  to  a  flower.  You  can  edit  it  or  leave  it  as  is.  There's  different  cameras  that  take  pictures  slightly  differently.  You  can  go old  school  and  find  yourself  some  film,  and  make  old  lookin' pcitures,  or  you   can  go  new  school  and  go  digital.  There  are  perks  and  downsides  to both  ways.  ( Photograph  taken  by  me,  of:  Butterfly -it’s in a case)

Dance  and  music  are  both  used  in  movies  and  plays,  but  deserve  a  small spot  of  their  own.  Music  is  art  for  the  ears.  Sounds  that  a  person  finds  enjoyable.  Whether  it  be  simple  music  and  tunes  or  complicated  like  that  of  Beethoven.  There  are  many  different  types  of  music,  from  pop,  country,  synth,  classic,  and  rock. 

            Dance  goes  with  music.  Moving  to  the beats  of  the  song.  Just  as  there  are  different  types  of  music,  there  are  different  types  of  dance,  usually  going  with  the  different  sorts  of  music.

One  of  the  last  things  I  want  to  talk  about  is  Fan-Creation.  Which  means  Fan  Art,  fan  fiction,  cosplay,  and  things  just  made  inspired  by  something  one  is  a  fan  of.  Now,  there  are  those  that  think  that  fan-creation  is  not  real  art,  and  that  "Real  Art"  has  to  be  one  hundred  percent  original.  But,  going  but  the  earlier  definition  of  art... "The  expression  or  application  of  human  creative  skill..."  it  does  not  mention  having  to  be  one  hundred  percent  your  own  idea.  There  are  a  few  that  still  don't  like  it,  and  they  are  allowed  to  not  like  it.  But  they  should   not  crush  the  artist  for  drawing  Fan Art  or  such  because  they  happen  to  think  that  "It's  not  art."               Moving  on.  Fan-Art,  as  in  drawings / paintings / sketches,  is  one  of  the  most  recognized  fan-creation  forms.  It  has  the  most  variation  of  all  the  fan-creation  forms,  due  to  the  many  different  forms  of  that  sort  of  art  there  are.  It  serves  as  a  way  to  show  you  like  a  thing.  It  makes  for  easier  practice,  because  the characters  already  have  a  set  design  so  you  don't  have  to  try  and  come  up  with  something.  It  makes  most  happy  to  show  how  much  they  love  a  thing  through  drawing  it.   ( Flowey  the  Flower  Signed – Scribe's Work.–, Undertale.  Game  by  Toby Fox )

Fan-Fiction  is  the  written  side  of  fan  creation.  It's  a  grand  part.  It  can  expand  off  of  the  original  concept  of  the  thing  it  is  based  on ( canon ), or  just  be  something  based  in  that  world  either  following  all  the  world's  rules  or  coming  up  with  its  own ( fanon).  Of  course,  both  can  take  time.  Writing  is  a long  process  sometimes.  But,  fan-fiction  does  provide  a  good  medium  in  which  to  develop  writing  skill.  The  world  building  is  already  done,  so  it's  easier  to  work  out  a  writing  style  and  figure  out  interesting  concepts  that  follow  certain  world  rules.  Excerpt  from  "My  Beginning"  a  Bionicle  Fan-fiction:   ---------------------  "You covard!" I raged, "come back and fight me!" The other one, the mind that had been in danger, the one that had been my reason for forcing myself into existence. He fainted. Not knowing what else to do, I picked him up and a quick glance at his mind told me where I needed to take him. I teleported to this place. This island called Destral. ---------------------

Cosplay  =  Costume  Play.  The  art  of  dressing  like  a  character  from  something  or  just  an  interesting  costume,  or  even a  character  that  one  made  up  to  go  with  something  ( often  called  oc's )  that  goes  with .  Whether  the  costume  is  overly  simple  ( example,  my  Vakama  cosplay ),  a  middle  ground  between  complicated and  simple  ( example,  Abi's  Ruby  cosplay or  Becca's  Photo  'Bomber' ),  or  super  complicated.  Usually,  no  matter  what  sort  of  cosplay  you  do,  you  have  to  have  at  least  a  little  bit  of  skill  in  costumes.  

There  are  probably  many  sorts  of  art  I  didn't  cover,  but  I  covered  as  many  as  I  could  think  of.  There  are  troubles  with  the  ones  listed,  either  being  a  problem  with  actual  art  process  ( broken  tools,  lack  of  skill,  missing  supplies )  or  with  other  issues  (the  put  down  of  the  artist,  hate,  lack  of  motivation ).  Recently,  there's  been  a  huge  strike  against  artists  on  the  interweb:  things  being  stolen,  false copyright  strikes,  huge  negative  feedback  because  of  hate,  and  many  things  similar.  Thankfully,  this  is  being  solved  by  both  the  artists  and  the  sites  that  the  art  is  posted  on.

Art,  has  meaning.  That  meaning  is  different  to  most  everyone,  but  the  meaning  is  there.  It  Defines  the  day  and  age  it  comes  from.  It  defines  the  artist.  It  often  defines  those  who  enjoy  it.
