FAN CONTENT ROUNDUP

August 2023

This is the first post in the monthly fan content roundup series where I highlight some of the cool stuff you guys do – and lord, you do a LOT! While I try to promote as much fan content as I can on my social media, I think doing a little roundup at the end of the month is a nice way to share the goodies with those that might have missed them.

Sadly, I can’t include every single piece of fanart here, so I will limit myself to a very arbitrary list of works that have stuck in my mind the most. If your art wasn’t mentioned here, please don’t be discouraged – I greatly appreciate all fan content and try to share and comment on all fanarts I see. If you know a good way to include all of the fanworks in one post, I’d love to hear your suggestions for it!

Anywho, let’s start with some bangers

An AWARD-WINNING(c) Sanya fansong by tart, my goat, is genuinely a really beautiful and mellow piece, making for a very interesting contrast to Cleave. It was a kind of challenge between us to write the edgiest Sanya lyrics possible, but I think the end result turned out unironically cool! Brother you just don’t miss.

Next up, this Parties Are For Losers remix by Clio featuring Meltberry’s vocals is absolutely insane. If you enjoy the original, I guarantee you’ll love this one – it cranks up the hype tenfold! And if you don’t enjoy the original, check it out anyways, it slaps.

Now let’s move onto fanart!

@Atlaspocalypse on Twitter has done some really amazing PAFL pencil drawings that you should 100% check out. Their colours are just gorgeous!

And I personally fell in love with semi-realistic artworks by @simmiko on Tumblr. They’re incredibly skilled and capture the characters beautifully.

Speaking of capturing, @roboticsorcerer on Tumblr encapsulated Katya’s unsettling side perfectly – this portrait really stuck in my mind ever since I saw it.

The PAFL artworks by @matcha0milk on Tumblr also blew me away. The design and colours on all of them are top notch, with this Dmitry and Olga portraits being my favourite works of theirs so far.

Continuing the topic of awesome visual design: make sure to give some love to this series of song-based artworks from @saturn-scribbles on Tumblr. The compositions and typography are super cool and go great with the bright angular artstyle!

On the opposite side of the stylistic spectrum, I’ve been a huge fan of @uwaowa on Tumblr ever since I saw them in my mentions. Their soft yet violently vibrant art is equally unique and nostalgic. It’s very beautiful, and I urge you to check out their non-PAFL works, too.

@k_ukush on Twitter has an amazing sense of atmosphere. They’ve made some great PAFL fanarts before, I loved the mood in this Faulty Feline Philosophy piece as well. Go follow them!

@Mofigrib on Twitter continues to regularly produce really pretty fanarts which never ceases to impress me. They also translate PAFL lyrics to Ukrainian!

This cross stitch by @npmets on Tumblr is so freaking cool. Just look at it!!!

@norge-boi on Tumblr has very charming art, too. I love this kind of hatchy rendering, it works wonderfully for their style.

Finally, I gotta give @labrat-heart-emoji a shoutout as perhaps the most dedicated Dr Temnova fan: their science lady fanarts are as numerous as they are interesting, all featuring very experimental colour palettes!

Some sillies

Three years ago my friend and I made a stupid visual novel that was basically a parody of cursed fanfiction, with them writing the script and me making the game – and we decided to make it public this August. I suppose it counts as fan content, partially… In any case, if you ever want to play through a very stupid PAFL shitpost, we got you covered👍

Every day I think back to this particular Katya drawing by @team-cri and smile

Also @soediz on Tumblr and Twitter has been bombarding my mentions with silly little Sanyas and I wouldn’t have it any other way

I think that's gonna do it for this month!

I'm really thankful to everyone who's willing to dedicate their time and efforts to making fanart of my characters and songs - it's seriously amazing to see how much beautiful and fun stuff you guys produce. 

Like I said, I really wish I could shout out every single one of you. If you have any ideas on how I could improve this format to include more content creators without bloating the post too much, please do share!

And don't forget to send love and support to everyone mentioned, GOT IT?🫵🫵
