User blog:Leslieisaflower/Leslie Rambles: Episode 2

(sorry about how i didn't post last week< i really did not have much time oops)

Hello and welcome another episode of Leslie Rambles. In this episode, We will be discussing Fan art, which is a topic that seems to be a bit overlooked on the wiki.

Introduction aside, let's start.

As a person which tends to make quite a lot of fan art, i understand the struggle of keeping things canon. Take this for example: Perhaps there's a non canon ship that you really like, but often makes the characters look, well, out of character. Or maybe there's an interesting synopsis for an upcoming episode and you want to make a drawing to predict what will happen. The problem here is that the drawing will come off as inaccurate or silly when the episode does come out.

Both of these situations are examples of times when you just can't simply make something seem canon.

The canon problem is pretty big in the TAWOG fanbase.

I will use the whole "deer Penny" fan theory.

Many people started to speculate that Penny was actually a deer from underneath her shell.

many people from the TAWOG fanbase immediately picked up the theory and started to draw their predictions of how deer Penny might look.

This outbreak of deer Penny fan art led to many viewers excitingly awaiting the episode in which Penny breaks out of her shell, due to their expectations.

And oh boy was there deer Penny theory wrong.

Instead of a doe emerging from Penny's shell, The fairy version of Penny that we know and (possibly) love today appeared.

This made many Deer Penny fan artists disappointed, having their theory (and art) proven wrong.

And that is basically the problem with headcannoned art.

It simply has a low chance of actually being true.

And when it does not come to life in the world of Elmore, plenty of artists rage.

A lot of artists also feel ashamed, and swipe their work off of the internet.

This sucks, especially if you spent hours and hours on that one drawing.

Moral of the story: try not to draw headcanoned art.

Anyways, let's go onto art influenced by the canon part of the show.

They're cool.
