>considering how volatile tumblr has gotten lately
Maybe it's just the people you're following or followed by, but my dash has mainly backlashed against the fucking bizarre witch-hunt from the last week or two. Hopefully people actually take the "ignore, block, and/or report" motto to heart instead of resorting back to actual bullying.

But back to the main point, just draw whatever the fuck you want. I still get embarrassed as hell posting fan-art, especially the unjustifiably self-indulgent ones, but people will eat that shit up.

If you're really worried about devaluing yourself as an artist by creating fan-art, try to "elevate" it. Throw in some ambitious attempts, instead of the typical 3/4ths bust with cell-shading and basic line-art. Combine master studies and fan-art, go painterly as fuck, use it as an excuse and vehicle to draw things you normally don't. It's a win-win scenario. You'll get better, you'll get exposure.

Plus it's fun, to be frank.
