Who are some of the other artists in The Arcana fandom that you would recommend?
Gahh this is a great question because I get to babble about all the artists I admire in this fandom but itās also hell because Iām sure Iāll look at this later like āHOW DID I FORGET [insert name]???!ā
But, as I remember for now:
@sketchy-saram has such a cute and beautiful art style and the way they create and explore their OCs and show character through the different scenes they draw or write is honestly such an inspiration. Also they have too many fanchild pairings with @lazyvoyager Iām hoplessly invested in.
Speaking of, @lazyvoyager was one of the first artists that inspired me to draw for the Arcana. They have a great sense for stylistic exaggeration, Illain is a top-tier fan apprentice, their art is impossibly expressive and dynamic and, again, Iām hoplessly invested in their fanchildren OCs.
@timmys-and-scribbles has such a good apprentice! Julianne is paired with Julian and their dynamic is so?? good?? Timmy is fantastic at drawing comics and sequential art and her use of posing and expression is something to admire, not to mention how gorgeous her illustrations are (she can somehow draw bird people/feather details???)
@slushrottweiler-blog again has incredible OCs. The detail she puts into her character design is astonishing and I really like how she does lineart. Itās a beautiful style which gives a lot of personality to her drawings and the scenes she draws with both OCs and canon character are always lovely!
@agent-darkbootie is so creative with the way they explore different AUs and mixing OCs with canon. Again, agent is an artist who really knows how to put character into their art and itās beautiful to look at. Also, itās a small thing but Iām obsessed with how they draw curly hair. Itās to die for!
I absolutely canāt get over how much detail @jyiori puts into their art. Iām in constant awe at how natural and soft their posing can be and then you add beautiful clean colouring and a fantastic understanding of the Arcana style while also being recognisable as their own style and their art leaves me in awe
@jilljoyceartsās colouring is honestly to die for. Every time I see her art, Iām blown away with how clean and detailed it is, while also being able to do backgrounds, lovely and natural poses, and gorgeous expressions. Itās a small thing but she can draw the arcana style so well at different angles. It sounds silly but that always sticks out to me.
If you want good Muriels, @mountain-man-cumeth is the place to go. Her apprentice Karayan is absolutely gorgeous and his relationship with Muriel is really well developed. She has an incredible sense of posing and anatomy that really inspires me to improve in my own art.
[Iām still screaming about these ngl]
@jyuukichannart is also a great artist to go to if you want good Muriels. Her art style is incredibly soft and itās all so pretty. Her costume design and attention to detail is beautiful and the way she draws expressions really hits what the character is feeling at the time. Sheās another artist where Iām in constant awe of her natural posing.
@greyhands is probably the best artist Iāve seen when it comes to replicating the Arcana style. Her sense for physical space and lord the detail in her art is on another level. Every time I see it, Iām gobsmacked with how beautiful it is. She puts so much effort and hits the perfect amount of detail in everything she draws.
@savenkey mainly posts her art on instagram (momky_savenky or luc.eris) but gosh itās beautiful. Sheās already been an incredible influence on my own art with her amazing edits and resources which she provides for the fandom, but her art... just wow! Eris is an iconic apprentice and her lineart and colouring is a true inspiration.
@myarcanamess is gorgeous with character designs and his lighting is beautiful. He really knows how to set a scene with how he draws expressions and the environments the characters are in. Heās especially good with drawing Muriel and Asra and I canāt get enough of it.
@aaliyah-draws is another Arcana artist who inspired me to draw for the Arcana in the first place. Valarie is one of the prettiest apprentices around and her dynamic with Julian is amazing. The way she uses colour is unblelievably gorgeous, her art is so expressive and soft, and her costume design is just.....I canāt put into words how much I love it.
.......Iāve been writing this post for over half and hour and Iām sure I have more to talk about T_T
There are too many good artists in this fandom, guys
