Prompts with references

alias_sqbrAm feeling bored and aimless, having put up my reversebigbang art (links when the story is up too) and pretty much finished my dark_agenda art as much as I'm going to. I need to be distracted before I start arguing with people on the internet (more than I have been)
So! Art prompts! I will draw the couple for sure, and probably get to the others over time until I don't feel inspired any more.
Give me:
A prompt: (original or fannish. Nothing squicky or above PG. NO ZOMBIES)
plus
Reference images: Enough that I shouldn't have to resort to google images to figure out how to draw it. Thus: the characters(*) (and the less familiar I am, the more detail I will need. "Use this actor" is fine for book fandoms etc) plus if they're doing something unusual like sword fighting then a ref for the pose (Senshistock is good for this). If they wear unusual clothes I'll need a picture of them too.
Since by far the one thing that I find most off putting about prompts is figuring out how to lay them out and finding the references. I will probably not follow them exactly and look up extra images but it's nice to have somewhere to start from.
Confidential note toleecetheartist: regardless of when you comment I will draw your picture if you give me a werewolf and a casting for the archaelogist. A digsite would help too but I can fudge that :)
EDIT: LJ comment notifications seem to be down so comment on dreamwidth if you can.
(*)Unless it's something like "Hogwarts under attack by aliens" or "The Sydney Opera House under attack by aliens", in which case I will need pictures of Hogwarts/The Sydney Opera House and alien spaceships etc.
