Where Can I Find Fan Art For Books By The Case?

Oh, fanart hunting is one of my favorite rabbit holes to dive into! For 'The Book That Wouldn't Burn,' I’d start with platforms like DeviantArt or ArtStation—both are goldmines for niche fandoms. Tumblr also has a surprisingly active community for book-inspired art, especially under tags like #Mark Lawrence or #TheBookThatWouldntBurn. Instagram’s a bit hit-or-miss, but searching hashtags can sometimes turn up hidden gems from smaller artists. Reddit’s r/fantasy or r/bookart might have threads dedicated to fan creations, and don’t overlook Twitter (or X, whatever it’s called now). Artists often drop WIPs or finished pieces there with relevant tags. If you’re into digital galleries, Pinterest boards can be a treasure trove if you dig deep enough. I once spent hours curating a board just for book-themed art—it’s weirdly satisfying!

There's a whole galaxy of book fandoms making art—seriously, if I scroll through my feed for ten minutes I'll find watercolors of 'The Kingkiller Chronicle' characters, stylized noir pieces for 'The Sandman', and cozy cross-stitch patterns inspired by 'Anne of Green Gables'. Fans turn words into pictures in every direction: character portraits, alternate-universe redesigns, comics that fill in scenes the books skimmed over, and wild crossovers where 'Dune' meets 'Discworld'. The range is ridiculous and wonderful. If you want a quick map of where the biggest art communities orbit, start with these usual suspects: 'Harry Potter', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit', 'A Song of Ice and Fire', 'The Wheel of Time', 'Mistborn' and 'The Stormlight Archive', 'The Kingkiller Chronicle', 'The Sandman', 'His Dark Materials', 'Dune', 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Percy Jackson', 'The Hunger Games', 'Twilight', 'The Mortal Instruments', 'Anne of Green Gables', and 'Discworld'. Each fandom has its own flavor—'Harry Potter' and YA titles often have huge ship-art and gif communities, epic fantasy tends to inspire map art and detailed armor/clothing redesigns, classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' get Regency fashion redraws and modern AU portraits, and sci-fi like 'The Expanse' or 'Dune' inspires tech mockups and spaceship concept art. Places to look: Instagram and Twitter/X are great for quick discovery, Pixiv and DeviantArt host more detailed galleries, Tumblr still houses long-form fandom boards, and Reddit or dedicated Discord servers are where communities organize prompts, trades, and critiques. I’ve bought zines and enamel pins from creators who started by posting fan paintings on Tumblr—there’s a whole economy and culture around this. If you're an artist, try joining prompt collections (like fandom-specific 'draw this in your style' challenges), tag responsibly, and check the author's fanwork policy (some creators are chill, others have strict rules). If you’re a lurker, follow a few tags, drop a like or a comment, and you’ll quickly find artists whose styles you love. For me, finding a reinterpretation of a tiny side character that made me tear up is always the highlight of a slow evening, and it’s how I keep re-entering these worlds.
