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

A hand on the left is holding a pen writing the words Content Creator Spotlight. There is a little Punisher skull on the pen. End ID]
