Fanart prompts: female characters

[alias_sqbr]

So after some thought I've realised I'm really not up to doing art complex enough for thelittlebang or ladiesbigbang. So, to use up my frustrated creativity: Give me fanart prompts involving female characters! (which is to say, characters who identify as female in canon)

Nothing too complex, no zombies. Femslash is cool in theory though chances are the art will come out looking more like gen :) I'm open to whatever canon as long as you're willing to provide references, but right this second am feeling the love for Portal, Thor, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.

No idea how many I'll draw. At least two, I guess.

Toph/Azula!

*big epic pleading eyes*

[sqbr]

OOH.

Yes, definitely, but it may take me a while to come up with a composition remotely worthy of the pairing :)

[alias_sqbr]

Done! Toph and Azula on a picnic.

[lizbee]

I AM SO HAPPY! It's now my phone's wallpaper! I love the way they're leaning into each other, and how Toph has created a picnic spot that only they can reach.

[alias_sqbr]

Yay, I'm glad you like it! And yes, that picnic spot has a lovely view and makes it very difficult for anyone to bother them :)

wendy watson from the middleman! i can provide pics if you have no idea what i'm talking about.

[sqbr]

Oh, I know exactly who you're talking about :D Pics would still be appreciated since it's an obscure enough show that good screencaps can be hard to find.

Anything specific you want her to be doing?

[tree]

woohoo! there are some good, though, small images at this article. is that enough? if not i can find others. um, anything in her MM uniform, maybe pointing her gun at some off-screen menace? or the hint of a tentacled monster or somesuch?

[alias_sqbr]

Here you are: Wendy Watson vs Giant Octopus. This turned out to be exactly what I felt like drawing :D

[tree]

ZOMG I LOVE IT!

[alias_sqbr]

Yay! ^_^

Astrid Farnsworth from Fringe actually getting to do something related to her job! She is an FBI agent with a degree in linguistics (and music!) so presumably can run and fight as well as analyse, do detective work and arrest people, though she does not often get to do anything like this on the show. Here is an excellent pic, and one where she was actually working on codes and a snarky one here.

[tree]

there was actually a post about her recently at racialicious that made her sound so cool i almost wanted to watch the show just for her. also? her name is astrid. i love that name! </butting in>

[lilacsigil]

Astrid is wonderful (and her actress, artist Jasika Nicole, even more so), but sadly underused on the show.

[sqbr]

The actress has a really awesome tumblr with cute drawings, I nearly started watching Fringe based on it then came across all the sad Astrid fans talking about how underused she is.

[sqbr]

Done! Astrid and Gertrud. It's a crossover with Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which I realise you probably haven't seen, but I asked my muse for mysterious text that would be fun to draw and this is what it gave me :)

[lilacsigil]

I just realised that I had this window open and hadn't yet said how awesome this picture is! I love Astrid's suit and her hair, and her open and intelligent expression - she's both working and enjoying it. The butterflies and the way they meld with Astrid are amazing.

[alias_sqbr]

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it! That's exactly the expression I was aiming for :)

Here's a challenge: how about Minerva McGonagall?

[sqbr]

I'm amazingly terrible at drawing older people, so rather than anything very creative I did a pencil sketch to help practice what wrinkles look like etc. It was a nice challenge :)

[kerravonsen]

Thanks! I particularly like the eyes.

Pippi Longstocking.

Or Mamma Moomin (who may have another name, but I can't think of it.)

[alias_sqbr]

Belatedly cleaning out my inbox: I think Mama Moomin would be fun to draw, but since I haven't read anything Moomin related in decades am not feeling super inspired. What would you like her to be doing?

[fred_mouse]

from my memories of the stories, she was always busy, organising, cleaning etc. So, something completely away from that - relaxing in a hammock? Standing on a cliff watching something on the horizon?

(sorry about the delay in replying - I've only just found the comment notification in my email)

[sqbr]

Done! Sorry I took a while.

[velithya]

hmmmmmmmmm
It's nearly fang_lightning's birthday, some kind of birthday-related fang and/or lightning picture wouldn't go amis...? ♥

[alias_sqbr]

Done! Didn't turn out quite the way I wanted but I didn't want to fiddle with it for too long or I'd miss the birthday.

[velithya]

lovely! Can I post it to the comm on birthday day? ♥

[sqbr]

Absolutely, do what you like with it!
