As for [[LiveActionTV live action]] shows, it takes a certain level of artistic sophistication to depict real people with any degree of recognition. That doesn't stop anyone, however, and any visually interesting or unique show is likely to have some fan-made pieces floating around. Most often these are SpeculativeFiction shows, since most fan art based on ''normal'' people is more about the actor or actress than the character. Then again, an entire [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/3d_celebrities_2/ Yahoo! Group]] is dedicated to celebrity likenesses made with the Poser and [=FaceGen=] applications.

* See Website/DeviantArt [[http://www.deviantart.com/ here]] for a large amount of Fan Art (as well as a wide range of original pieces). Beware, though -- SturgeonsLaw very much applies. Searching people's favorite artwork galleries can help a lot in finding good work, even more if you share the same taste as those people. If you like someone's artwork, consider checking their "favs".

* A notorious historical example was a couple of ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' fan drawings found in an old cellar. They were found in Norway, dated to the late 30s, and were signed by a talented amateur artist called "[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler A. H.]]". Mr. H. has been known to be a major fan of Disney, and he drew a couple of other works too.
