Admin Post: Art Rec Challenge - Rec a Fanartist
Something different for November, as we figured people might be a bit worn out after Drawtober, and starting to get busy with seasonal projects and challenges.
Art Rec Challenge: Rec a Fanartist
This is an art recommendations month. Pick a fanartist you like and tell us why you enjoy their works - and link us to a few examples, and to their main site or sites.
Any fandom, but only fanartists please, not professional artists (it's okay if they're fanartists who do commissions or have a buy-me-a-coffee, though, as that's fairly common these days.) They can be from any era - from early Star Trek vintage to artists posting currently.
Tell us about just one artist per post, please - you can make more than one post if you want to rec two or three artists!
A round-up post for this recs challenge will be done at the end of November. Happy reccing!

It's just after the end of October, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you since August? (having just realised we haven't had a check-in post for a while, oops, sorry!)
Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in the past three months, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you looking at a bunch of end-of-year deadlines? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on. There's probably been a lot happening since it's been a while since we did this, so feel free just to give us the highlights!

"Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason" by Daiz
Article Link [here].
While I recommend reading the whole article, I'm also going to place a summary copied from tumblr (og post here) under a cut.
( How Crunchyroll is ruining its subtitles, how we got here, and why it matters. )
Considering the average Dreamwidth user probably remembers when Crunchyroll was a piracy site, as well as the golden age of fansubbing, I'm wondering what people's preferred solution for monopolization, and subsequent decrease in quality, of official anime streaming is. Should we focus our efforts more on pressuring Crunchyroll (and streaming services at large) to fix its subtitles, or on re-invigorating and suporting fansub groups and fansub culture?

Happy Halloween, Anime fans
Along with Vampire Princess Miyu and Ghost Sweeper Mikami, I've been watching some Shaman King and Ajazukin Cha Cha, which stars an adorable magic apprentice named Cha Cha and her mishaps when conjuring anything, dealing with monsters and vampires at times.
The dubbed version aired on Cartoon Network in another country, not sure if it ever did in the US, but there are some episodes uploaded at YouTube if interested.
So Happy Halloween and all that, I'm going back to my own thing.
