Description ... or just plain fanart?



It feels like a lot of reasons why I was inspirational was because I drew someone else's characters. I think a few of my friends on dA here, including other artists from other fandoms, feel that way too.

I still love Phineas and Ferb. I love Perry to bits. But it hurts when I get comments from kids who tell me they want to see more PnF and JUST PnF. Not every one of my watchers are like that, I know, but considering the art I put up today, I can see most kids are just here for PnF.


Dan and Swampy inspire people to come up with their own ideas. They inspired me. Dan ENCOURAGED me himself to keep writing if I loved doing it. THAT means more than having him thank me for loving his show.

I feel like drawing more Perrys, but don't expect very many PnF pics anymore. Stories will keep coming, but pictures are getting scarce. Did you know that, if you want to apply for an animation job, You're not allowed to show fanart????

I'm not mad at anyone. And it's perfectly fine if you found me through PnF art. I just don't want people to think that I'm chained to this fandom.




I'll draw more Pnf when people learn to accept that I will draw them when I feel like it. My other ideas that aren't PnF related are original too.

D'awww poor you! There's no WAY an artist can be attached to a single fandom; there are so many other shows and movies and books out there to love to bits. Not to mention one's own original ideas!

Just keep drawing what you want, sweetie. And don't get discouraged if people are too lazy to listen to what you're saying. Just keep doing what you love, and remember that you've got a bunch of fans who will love you no matter what you draw, myself included. If you ever need to talk and none of your friends are available, you can come to me

I found you through the seer. I love all our art! I'm actually planning to write on other fanfics but I'm backed up. Some people just need to learn that artist can draw what they want. Not what there fans want. Your my inspiration! Just ignore the people that are bringing you down!

I see what you mean. I do love all your work and I wish I could both write and draw the way you do! It's so well... inspirational! and I've noticed some CNKND stuff popping up! Blimey, not seen that in years! Good though. Anyway, you do what you want and don't let other people push you around!

i know what you feel...
i also draw PnF and my classmates always wants to make me draw Ferb. even though he is not my "fave"...
but as what a friend told me,
" make everyone happy, even if you don't want to do it."

soo..
i love perry sooooo much...

KicsterAsh In reply to phiniell [2012-02-24 17:40:58 +0000 UTC]

I'd have to disagree with what your friend says. If you're drawing only to make them happy, then you're already doing it wrong. You need to draw for YOURSELF. Not for the people around you.

Considering that I originally found you through your Danny Phantom art, this doesn't bug me one bit. Although I am sorry that others are giving you a hard time over it.

And I will tell you the same thing I tell others here who I have found through fanart: I may have found you because of that, but I keep watching because I like your style and how it's evolving.

DustyButterfly [2012-02-23 05:54:36 +0000 UTC]

If people want just PnF stuff, they should go to a group or something. I love looking at your original stuff, even if I don't comment (mostly because I can't think of anything better to say then 'pretty' or 'great job'). I love you fan art, but I also would like to see more of your characters too. Either way, keep up the great work!

Liooness2000 [2012-02-22 16:29:30 +0000 UTC]

Draw whatever you want whenever you want, we're here because we love your work. And keep writing! That's something that's fallen to the wayside for me because of life, for the moment. but I love to read and your stories are moving and powerful. Keep going, you're a great artist and writer and you'll make it.

I think this picture of Perry looks very cool!

I personally watch you not just for your fanart, but also your original ideas. I love IMagination Jumpstart, and I hope to see more of it

Its great to get inspiration from others and have them inspire you to create your own orignal works

amberlynn103 [2012-02-20 22:42:17 +0000 UTC]

I too originally found you for your PnF work...but right when I got to your page, I immediately went to your gallery to see what else you did, and I fell in love with everything!
I, like other watchers on dA, can't wait until you post some of your OC's...just putting that out there.
And don't worry if people aren't happy because you haven't been putting up PnF lately and focusing more on your OC's, at least you have the satisfaction that you're doing something that you (and other people) love!

Ladycorrup [2012-02-20 18:47:15 +0000 UTC]

I did find you by your PnF fanart and I loved them to bits and they inspired me to do my own PnF fanfics and artwork. I love all your other stuff as well though and not just because of your PnF art. Broaden your horizons, thats what I say, it doesn't matter how many people want you to do phineas and ferb all the time, if you don't enjoy drawing it all the time, then don't I draw because I get inspired and I enjoy drawing it, I don't draw because people tell me too or tell me what to draw.
Draw what you like girl Nobody can stop you!

alright. you like a plethera of stuff, so I don't really mind either way. I love the way you draw everyone in PnF, though, particularly Perry. especially Perry. In fact, your drawings have inspired me to knit a Perry the Platypus. No one has actually knit a cute one yet, and I intend to succeed, based off of your wonderful pics. And it's nice that you're branching out. I think every writer/artist should do so.

Ya know, I came across your works cuz my nephew showed me this Phinbella series on YouTube. Once I finished that I got so hooked that I started searching for PnF stuff on YT and then I came across this: [link] Once I saw that I HAD to find it. And, here I am. The point is I love your PnF stuff, but I also love some of your other stuff too. Just keep doing what you're doing, I try my best to look at all of your stuff cuz really you have some talent.

Good. Do what you want, and love it. Love it to bits, whatever it is you love doing. Draw Perrys. Write fanfictions. Be an animator who produces the next hit show. Sell an original story and make millions. Whatever your inspiration is, follow it. I, at least, will watch you no matter what it is you want to post for us.

molly6cats [2012-02-20 00:59:26 +0000 UTC]

You are definitively not chained down by this fandom Ash, I know that for fact. I love every gift you give us, and I'm glad you know I do. These kids, they just like the familiarization of PnF, and the stuff you drew of the dynamic duo (and of course everyone else - especially Perry ) But I can assure you, it's not up to them what you draw. And I know you are just as free from chains as we all are.

All I know is that you inspire me by being you. Sticking to your beliefs, doing what you want, and producing passionate, engaging and brilliant quality fiction and art, which streams details and specifics and technique and experience.

Just keep going Ash. I'll be right there with you whatever you do, because I know whatever you do will always be filled with love and awesomeness.

I'm gonna give you some random advice for whenever you feel down. My mom taught me this:

Work like you don't need the money.
Laugh like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.

I know that was totally random but I think it's a nice phrase, right? I just think you should take it in this context as: Do whatever you damn well want to do! And be happy while you're doing it, not giving a single crap about what people think about you while you do it!

Thanks for inspiring me!

Aw he looks tired and needs a hug but understand as I like your PnF stuff but understand that you don't wanna draw it all the time and draw and write for other fandoms.

i admire animators because like in EVERY other career ther is a lot of competition, people think that something like being a lawyer or a doctor is safer but to get into the medicine school i wanted i had to be in the top 200 out of over 1400 aplicants, no matter what you do someone will try to reach the same goal so no career is safe.
All ican do is wish you luck and hope your imagination will never die because a wrold withot imagination is world without ideas.

getting anywhere in animation is tough. i congratulate you on doing what you love to do best, and support you no matter what art you decide to use. personally, i love the stories, and the fanart is a bonus, but i love to see people's original art as well. keep up the good work!
