Be my fair use muse!

So, having won a drabble from irisbleufic (will link when it is done) I was suddenly struck by the utter joy of the idea of commissioning people to write fanfic for me, and since I don't write fanfic myself (if I did, I wouldn't need other people for it) afaict my best option is to draw fanart (or pay money, but that's a bit blah)

So, to see if I have it in me to draw fanart on commission, and since my last "Tell me what to draw!" experiment went pretty well (and I need to draw more): the first five people to give me a fanart prompt get one for certain, and anyone after that gets one if I can be bothered.


Fandoms: anything I'm familiar with.
G -rated. Preferably gen, but I would much prefer "Sheppard and Mackay shop for curtains" than "Dean takes a shower".
Nothing squicky, which for me (as far as I can tell) means incest (like whoa) but also weird power imbalances like teacher/student (not that I'm looking at anyone in particular here :D). And, hmm..probably other things, I reserve the right to go "Actually, I don't think I can draw that, do you have another idea?" EDIT: NO ZOMBIES

EDIT: Also, let me know if you have a problem with me turning it into a comic, since that tends to happen to most of my art by default :D

I am totally fine with stuff that has no human characters, like "Hogwarts in the snow".

I will try, but reserve the right to be crap, and may go off spec a little for artistic reasons.

Done! That was fun :)

[greteldragon.livejournal.com]

So... which comic fandoms are you familar with?

(Obviously I would like something Impulse or Batman(and the rest of Gotham city) related but I'm not sure if you read/know those comics)

[alias_sqbr]

Conventional comics (rather than Sandman, Promethea etc)... hmm. Not much really, apart from reading the odd random graphic novel here and there and watching movies/tv etc. I am of course course familiar with the character of Batman and have actually read some comics, mostly Frank Miller but also some of the more cartoony stuff. I've read a bit of Xmen but not for a few years.

I had no idea who Impulse was until I googled him though, sorry :/

[greteldragon.livejournal.com]

That's cool. I had no idea where you are with comics.

And now I've changed my mind.

Susan Sto Helit on Binky? Maybe flying through I don't know something cool, like a sunset or over AnkMorpork? Its probably original imagery but it'd be cool. (I just read your fandoms thingy and went DISCWORLD :P)

[alias_sqbr]

Done!

[lizbyrd.livejournal.com]

Impulse is so much fun to read, honestly. I loved it.

[alias_sqbr]

I'll keep an eye out for it then.

You do SGA??? \o/

In that case, I would very much like either "the team explore the city -- somewhere high" or, if you would like practice illustrating something, go ahead and pick one of my fics. Several are non-sexy or gen (including a Teyla-centred one). You can find the listing here (http://cupidsbow.livejournal.com/68397.html).

If your McShep example was all a dastardly ploy, and you'd really rather not do them, I would be very happy with "hobbits on a picnic" or "R2D2 has a bad day".

A comic would be awesome, but I really don't mind what style you decide on.

Yay art!

[alias_sqbr]

See, I was going to say "I'm not really familiar enough with Atlantis to be able to do your prompt justice" then decided I'd be fine if my focus was on the prettiness of the city :) But I've only watched up to season 2: who is on "the team"?

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

Team = Teyla, Ronon or Ford (don't mind which), John, Rodney.

[alias_sqbr]

Done!

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

\o/

[elaran.livejournal.com]

um, can i be stupidly specific?

like sga team where rodney has a child attached to his leg and teyla looking all fondly upon him and ronon and sheppard loling?

[alias_sqbr]

Yes you can, and it is done!

Heeey, I've recently become an Irisbleu fan via reading her Batman/Joker fics. She is pretty damn good.

I see Dark Knight and suddenly I go from not really thinking about Gotham universe to being embroiled in it. I think I need to read a few of the comics, I've only read a few panels and watched one or two episodes of the animated series so far.

[alias_sqbr]

Isn't she awesome? I meant to rec her to you and forgot.

I'm not a big superhero comics fan, but these are the good ones I've read:
"Batman: Year One" by Frank Miller is afaict generally acknowledged to be the comic that was most influential on "The Dark Knight". And then there's "Batman: The Dark Knight returns", also by Frank Miller. While good, both, of course, fail the Frank Miller Test.

"Batman: The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore is often considered The Joker comic, though I didn't like it as much as his other work.

Vorkosigan! The time Gregor had the north tower demolished with a gravitic imploder lance - he said it was very satisfying.

oh my gods, is that a modesty blaise icon?!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

*beams at you*

[elaran.livejournal.com]

That's so awesome! I haven't read that comic in ages. :) I used to read it daily when we bought The West and before that too I think. I think I was appropriately shocked when I first saw her naked in a comic strip given that I was 8 years old or something. :D

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Heh, "Oh, I really don't have any nipples"...

[lizbyrd.livejournal.com]

I am thinking like... the characters from a fandom, in steampunk gear (or... as cats). But I can't think of a fandom. Pride and Prejudice! Or Temeraire, that would be cool.

you have probably already seen this but

[elaran.livejournal.com]

oooh awesome. that reminds me of this (http://www.goldenmaze.com/lostcity.htm).

Re: you have probably already seen this but

[lizbyrd.livejournal.com]

I have seen that, and it is pretty awesome!

But I mostly had the idea because I was reading Penny Arcade and came across the strip used for this icon (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/69665738/5926282) of alias_sqbr and which always struck me as steampunky.

Also because I like the steampunk aesthetic.

Re: you have probably already seen this but

[alias_sqbr]

Oh that's awesome!

[rainbow.livejournal.com]

I would love to see anything with the Lancre witches. Or oooo... Granny Aching and the old Kelda having a drink together.

(But I don't know how much your commission fee is, and probably can't afford it no matter how much it is, to be honest)

[alias_sqbr]

Too late! You said it! Now you owe me a gazillion dollars!

*cough* By which I mean: there's no fee, there's just no guarantee I'll get around to it either :)

Actually, I will ask you to repost this at the dreamwidth post, otherwise I can see it getting lost (this is the olllld prompts post)

[rainbow.livejournal.com]

OOPS!

OH YAY!!

oops again! I got myw indows mixed up. Brain fog. It's what's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks the past few days *sigh*

And will do!

[alias_sqbr]

Yeah my diet has way more than my daily required intake of brainfog too :/
