i think theres a big difference between drawing a character in a stylized way and like..... drawing realistically and making it look like the actor cos then ur like. drawing -the actor dressed up as the character- instead of drawing the character....... idk if that makes sense......also like people photoshopping pictures n such of the actors (in character) doing......things ... is just so weird to me like idk im sorry i can never get behind it.
and as for shipping real ppl/writing fanfiction abt them (or art or whatnot) its also just weird. and like has proved to be harmful to the irl people and their relationships.............. sorry its weird please just stick to shipping fictional characters xxx
oh em gee hello encrede!
i 100% agree, i was thinking that fanart where the characters are stylized enough that it is not a 1:1 redraw of the real person's face is valid, but then that made me ask myself "am i implying that people with more realistic styles are not allowed to draw ship fanart then"

..
i've seen so much AI generated stuff of the actors too... it's so wrong. but yeah i agree real person shipping is such a breach of boundaries and i think the people doing it need to take a step back and REALLY think about what they're doing.. yeah you don't know them and they don't know you blablabla but it's past the realm of fiction
idk cos like if u like drawing realistically thats not a problem, just like draw ur headcanon instead, dont reference the actor, or do but idk i would just try to make it not look like The Actor. cos that also just looks so uncanny to me

i feel like this sounds very controlling of me LMAO but idk. i guess its harder when the character is from a movie/tv show that wasnt based on books or something, bc then u never imagined them in ur head before they got cast? but still idk! id personally feel creepy and gross if i drew nsfw art of some stranger without their permission!
and omg ur right i never thought abt the implications of ai in all this....... ive thought about ppl ai generating stuff of celebrities but never of characters hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm but idk im vehemently anti current-popularized-use-of-ai (aka using chatgpt for everything and using generative ai to make ""art"" )
well what i have in mind comes from a show so there's no prior headcanon of what the characters looked like so... the actors are the only reference! but personally in general i prefer stylized art over too realistic art anyways cus if i want to look at their faces i'm gonna look at the source material.. i'd rather see how different artists interpret a person's features!!
