Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!
See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.
What’s your fannish ID? @jacketpotatoo - but I’m known as Ash! 
What types of fanworks do you create? I create art, usually of characters, and sometimes I make simple comics. I love the ability to materialise the ideas and scenarios I think of in my head, as well as the challenge of getting what I put down to match them! I would love to create merchandise someday (stickers, keychains and such). I also quite enjoy character/film analysis and post my thoughts on my tumblr every once in a while so I may try my hand at a video essay a long time in the future hahaha
What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? Fan art! Seeing other people’s awesome stuff always motivates me to keep improving my own craft. I’m a sucker for character analysis so I love reading fics and metas and watching video essays too
What do you like in particular about this fandom? Matt Murdock! And specifically Daredevil S3. It handled its characters so masterfully and it’s just so incredibly good. I would say I’m only toe deep in the fandom but I like the lack of infighting, especially compared to the larger MCU fandom (unless I’m missing something haha). I’m not much of a shipper I’m afraid 
Do you like participating in fan events? I like participating in fanzines but I don’t have a lot of time whilst juggling commissions and projects and personal art so I don’t join too many. I would join exchanges and such but I’m an avid procrastinator :,)
What about your creating process? I’m not super picky when it comes to the process but my favourite conditions to sketch in is when it’s raining and with music playing. I’ve been listening to Bo Burnham’s Inside while drawing a lot but I like to listen to video essays in the background too. I get excited when watching stuff and when I see other’s art, as well as when a random idea hits me suddenly and I want to draw it out. I also have go-to characters to sketch like Spider-Man, Clint Barton, or my ocs. 
Do you interact a lot with other fans? Not on my tumblr not really! I do the reblog and the commenting and I really enjoy reading the tags - it’s probably my favourite thing about tumblr. I would love to interact more, yeah! 
Do you have other fandoms you'd like to talk about? I’m most actively in the MCU fandom but I dabble in other fandoms like Sherlock, Haikyuu, Starkid, SW, naruto, I could go on. I got into Daredevil because many people were saying it was really good in MCU spaces I was in (and they were right) and with the nwh rumours, I went for it. Really great show. 
Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? I’ve not drawn much defenders art but I have 3 Matt Murdock pieces. Two of them were drawn right after I finished watching S3 of daredevil and the most recent was because I wanted to draw a masked character 
Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? Nope! I feel weird talking about myself this much already haha. 
Where can your fanworks be found? #jacketpart is my art tag on tumblr Socials: https://linktr.ee/Jacketpotatoo (Instagram, tumblr, Twitter for fanart, speedpaints on youtube) 
Thank you, @jacketpotatoo !

Some art tips from a tired artist
Tumblr media
I’m sorry, you guys asked me this months ago... but here’s some tips (I think a lot of artists will tell you this, but I tried to talk about my personal experiences as well) 1. Draw stuff from imagination AND references. Both is important to get better and to develop a certain flow. However don’t pressure yourself too much. If you need 100 references to draw one hand, then go for it. Then try to draw a hand from your imagination and see how you improved. 2. Draw what YOU like. It sounds obvious, but I know a lot of people feel pressured to draw certain things and certain fandoms, and that’s not how it should go. Try different things. Draw bodies, faces, backgrounds... and if you want to come back and ONLY want to draw faces at the moment, then do it.  I think, the best way to improve is to learn how to draw the things you like and to be satisied with the result someday. I like drawing lips, so I drew lips so fuck**** often, that I improved to draw them .. haha 3.  Watch how other people draw. I like watching tutorials, but I really prefer watching people’s speedpaints or just drawing videos and try to find out myself, what they exactly did. After that, I try my own way to achieve the same effects as them. Personally, I find that a lot more challanging and you have more freedome to be creative and learn for yourself.
4. When drawing digital, draw with different brushes. This is probably one of the most important tips I can give you, because I don’t really like standard brushes. Dig a bit in the internet, you will find a lot of free brushes artists provided or you can buy some for a small amount of money. Digital brushes often don’t have texture. For some it’s not a problem, but personally I like to give skin, cloth and hair some texture, to make it more “natural”.  5. Accept the pain. haha. sorry not really. But I advice you to stick to some art pieces and try to finish it. Not everything you draw will be a master piece, but at some point it’s not bad to at least try to finish a piece to practice the whole workflow. You will hate it, you want to throw your picture out of the window after it sometimes. But there are moments, where you come back to your art some days later and say: oh.. I see that i improved. And that’s very amazing. 6. Don’t give up and enjoy your art. Thanks for reading. It’s not much and it’s just what I think helped me a bit, probably it will help you as well.

Personal Review of Love Yourself 轉 'Tear' (Pt. 1)
I will be doing this in two parts just to make it a bit easier to read.
I’ve had the whole weekend since the release to immerse myself in listening to this album, and since I was very passionate about listening to MAMAMOO’s new direction of music, I decided to make a post about BTS’ recent release. I honestly did not want to be too hyped for it, for I think the last release fell a bit short (I do have favorites though), but the Intro and the news that it was going to be more R&B and hiphop had me intrigued. Also, I’m already attached to the group so I could not just look away that easily.
Thank you BTS-Trans.tumblr.com and other ARMYs that help international fans appreciate BTS’ lyricism.
1. Intro: Singularity - I love all the members, but most of the time I gravitate towards V’s personality. So listening to this track via music video release made me really proud of him. He really showed how all-around talented he his. Vocally, V’s voice is so deep and spacious, like those caverns you’d see in movies like Journey to the Center of the Earth. This track sounds sensual, but when the lyrics are regarded, it makes the track seem like a calm realization that the real self can’t be hidden forever. Initially, I interpreted the lyrics as a self-sacrifice in order to love someone else, but after reading it a couple of times, I concluded with more of an internal struggle between the persons one makes within. An inward self-sacrifice. I love these lyrics because of how it’s written as a short narrative and as well as me having had to interpret it in two different ways.
Using Stigma as my reference point, I shouldn’t be surprised that V would sing a track like this, but I’m glad he did it anyway because you can tell he has improved a lot and I think he used his tone the best here.
2.  Fake Love - What got me to like this song is how anthemic the hooks are. I can feel how tiring it is to keep up such kind of love. I think I wouldn’t have noticed it if I’m not going through personal thoughts that are so similar to the lyrics.
I like how smooth and kinda dramatic the pre-choruses are. The raps don’t stick out to me as much as if I’m too slow to pay attention that they had rapped at all. They go over my head.
Overall, I don’t know why I keep expecting them to release an edgy title track when I should have been used to this since maybe HYYH era. It felt more pop.
3. 전��지 못한 진심 (The Truth Untold) ft. Steve Aoki - I think it’s obvious that this was the most unexpected song on the album because seeing Aoki’s name next to it, one can assume it could be another EDM hit. This track has got to be one of my favorites because I occasionally listen to ballads that grabs your soul and squeeze feelings out of you. The vocal line sounds like they’ve improved a lot and I’m glad they’re able to showcase their vocal strengths this way. I’m also happy that JK didn’t sound breathy for once in the lower ranges and even throughout the song. I love how simple this song with the subtle piano chords playing throughout until the last minute of the track. During this last minute, there’s more instrumental that sounded grandeur which builds up to this glaze of electric beats and electric guitar. “Ah, that’s where Aoki is probably,” I thought. This had me believing that the vocal line can pull of some rock ballad...maybe someday, haha.
Lyrically, it felt a bit painful because there’s conflict between wanting to show the real self towards someone else, but there’s a lack of confidence that’s preventing the truth to come out, which makes me sad but very reflective on how this song sounds: lonely and desperate.
4. 134340 - The instant this track played, I immediately thought LO FI. I watch a lot of Artist Youtubers and they’d play lofi music while showing their speedpaints.
The raps were cool, smooth, and lax to match the rhythm of the song. The chorus made me feel a bit nostalgic. Something about the melody made me think of the old songs my parents would play whenever we go on road trips. Overall, 134340 is an easy groove.
I enjoyed reading the lyrics as it compares the protagonist to Pluto, the dwarf planet. The feeling of being forgotten resonates with me. I kinda like the juxtaposition between the lyrics and the sound. It’s like looking up in the stars in the middle of a road trip, and suddenly feeling insignificant by comparing sizes. I can also imagine the solar system doing it’s thing of revolving around the sun during the chorus, now that I know they’re singing “All I’m doing is circling around you.”
5. 낙원 (Paradise) - By this track, I realize that this album (so far) reminded me of how MAMAMOO shifted their sound towards what’s trending in the KR&B and KhipHop scene. The vocals here made me wonder off to comparing them to what VIXX and MONSTA X’s latest releases. The only difference I have thought of is that BTS’ vocals sound more rough and “down-to-earth”, while VIXX’s vocals sound more prim and proper, and MONSTA X would sound in between BTS and VIXX. I don’t know how to describe, but BTS seems to have a better lower range because of V. So if I were to put each group in order of high range to low range, it would be VIXX, MONSTA X, then BTS.
Anyway, I love the group vocals by the end. There is so much going on instrumentally but it didn’t feel like a mess. An organized mess? Haha. Those chords and bass effects makes this song feel light and dreamy. The high hats weren’t overplayed and obnoxiously loud. This sound really suits the group because the rap verses flow felt so natural and then the vocals felt collective and supportive, rather than having each member sing a line.
Ah, I fell in love with the theme of the lyrics. It wouldn’t be BTS without encouragement of dreams, may it be something so simple or difficult to reach. I kinda like the idea of taking the time of enjoying and taking in life as you go along. And I say kinda because let’s be real, there are things that are better done at a certain time than later, but that is a different topic for another day.
After knowing about the lyrics, I can imagine this song being played during their PUMA ads.
There is a Part 2 to this...
