Upgrading From Fan Fiction to Original Fiction

Jan 27, 2015

Last year I was also supposed to write some original fiction and participate in Nanowrimo. That didn’t happen. I think it’s partially because I was a fan fiction author and I found making the step from fan fiction writing to original writing so daunting. The benefits of writing fan fiction 1. The inspiration can come to you immediately. Lets face it, as fan fiction authors the first thoughts come when watching a movie, TV series or reading a book and going, ‘What if this happened?’ It’s easier for me to draw inspiration from there than other places to be honest. 2. Any from of writing practice i

Plot Twists - A Few Quick Tips

First things first--plot twists have to be planned if you really want to pull them off. It’s hard to add a good or even passible plot twist after you’ve already started planning and writing your story. If you think you need a twist because what you’re writing doesn’t seem able to stand on it’s own or isn’t interesting enough without a twist, adding a one in isn’t going to help much. You’ve got to plan the twist from the beginning so that it make sense and, while it still surprises the reader, they won’t feel like you cheated or tried to pull one over on them. Once you know why your story

The ergonomics of crafting: 7 tips to avoid pain

Feb 10, 2016

Artisan Crafts Week A few months ago our dear Brookette (https://www.deviantart.com/brookette) made a very interesting journal sharing her experience with arthritic pain, and the changes she made to her crocheting tools. Pain and arthritis can be so intense that they can actually stop you from crafting (the nightmare :stare:). I want to invite you to start taking care of your hands and your body now, before you get irreparable damage. Don't wait until you start feeling pain!! By that time the damage is done and all you can do is try to manage the pain. I wrote a few tips to help you, and I urge you to implement them as soon as possible. Crafting is some serious business -

Beginner tutorial to crafting toys (WoW tauren)

Feb 11, 2016

Artisan Crafts Week Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Miaushka. It comes from “meow”, which means something like “that-little-one-who-meows” :) You might have seen my handmade toys or even possibly seen my tier 11 druid cosplay, or maybe you just happened to stumble upon me. I am doing different World of Warcraft-themed handmade crafts: from complicated and laborious cosplay to various toys and mini-sculptures. Now that you know more about my artistic background on DeviantArt, I want to tell you how one of my favorite toys, a tauren-druid wearing the Ulduar tier 8 set, was done step-by-step.

Crafters, be proud!

Artisan Crafts Week I love to browse the Artisan Crafts gallery, read the artist's description and have a look at the comments people leave behind. I sometimes read comments like this: "Wow! That looks great, like it's mass produced!""It's not perfect of course, there's some mistakes since it's handmade.""I think that the fingerprints/imperfections are ok, because they make it look handmade.""Crafts can't be perfect, we're not machines." ... and I cringe every time! Worst of all, sometimes it's the very artist the one putting down their work. I want to tell everyone to STOP thinking less of your work and your skills, and be proud of everyth

Protect Your Work

Jun 20, 2014

For many artists, art theft is a frustrating reality. No matter how we watermark, logo, or constrain the resolution of our work, there are instances where artwork will be reposted, ripped, or used for commercial gain without credit or compensation. For some, this can be almost flattering, to know that there are those that like your work enough to steal it. But, the fact still remains, that your work has been used without permission, and for no gain of your own. My ExperienceI have been a photographer for four years now, and throughout that time I am always learning. Part of that education is around copyright, and how to protect my work. The

7 Steps to become a professional artist

Art in the Professions Hello everyone! My name is Francesca Urbinati, nime080 (https://www.deviantart.com/nime080) on DeviantArt. I'm a professional artist and a freelancer on comics, illustrations and visual design. Here are some tips from my experience about jumping from amateur to professional. 1. Make it happen Nothing will come your way if you don't set the ground for it. In other words "don't wait for success to knock your door, smash his own door and get in (cit.)". Don't waste time, keep on studying every single day and stay committed. The 8th book of my comic series Niki Batsprite. Just a few years ago, this project existed in my head only. Now it's real. 2.
