Original or fannish, nothing too complex since my arms have been troubling me. No zombies!

Willow from Buffy hanging out sociably or doing magic with a Discworld witch(es). Maybe Tiffany Aching?

Draw a fave video game character as a cyborg.

[lilacsigil]

Any female character from Long Live the Queen!

Genderswap the cast of a SF series. (Babylon 5 or Blakes 7 come to mind)

OOps!

That anonymous one was me...

So I thought about this for a little bit and realised there was only one thing I felt qualified to draw :)

Re: OOps!

[alias_sqbr]

The whole cast was a bit much, but I thought about who would be the most interesting from Bablyon 5 (since I haven't seen muhc Blake's 7) and settled on Londo.

Teething dragon(net)?

[mooreeffoc]

A robot playing with some kittens (or vice versa!)

[alias_sqbr]

Willow and Magrat, bonding over a book :)

[alias_sqbr]

At first I was overwhelmed by choice but then I suddenly KNEW who would be most interesting to draw as a cyborg :D

[anghraine]

If you're still doing it ... Philadelphia Darcy? idk if you remember the rambling post about the current f!Darcy fic Under Construction, but the main deal is that she has no connection to the Bingleys and therefore Elizabeth doesn't meet her until Rosings, though she's heard some nasty remarks from Wickham. Apart from the AU-of-the-AU with f!Fitzwilliam, the only bit I've posted is about 2/3 down this page.

If it's helpful, I fancast her here.

It occured to me after drawing this that the diamonds might be a choking hazard, but I shall assume dragon digestive systems are pretty hardy what with the fire breathing and all.

I've had the idea in my head for many years, but never managed to realise it. This is great!

[alias_sqbr]

Cool! I'm glad I could make it for you.

[alias_sqbr]

OH NO I just realised you said kittens/robots plural. Let's say the cat toy is also a robot.

[alias_sqbr]

Not too late at all! I thought it might be fun to go for a paint-over/manip version of The Portrait. Can you tell me the name of that woman so I can dig up some more refs? Working off that face angle here's some images I found to use as a base (because I am no 18th century portrait artist ;)), but I can use something else, or try for a combination. Or do my usual style if you'd prefer!

Ooooh, I wouldn't have thought of that, but it sounds awesome! Her name is Vicky Papadopoulou (she's older now, but the full shot is here, and she's also here and here and here and here.

Oh, I do like the picture of Lady Derby. Also, if you ever do need late eighteenth/early nineteenth refs in general, I have a pile saved here.

[alias_sqbr]

I can't decide if I like it or not but here you are!

[mooreeffoc]

Kittens and robots are also more than okay in the singular (though I'm happy to headcanon the cat toy as a robot)! This is ridiculously cute and I love it.

[anghraine]

I DON'T FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DECIDE AT ALL. Wow, she's gorgeous! And in a completely different way than I expected; I knew she'd be different from your usual style, but I wasn't expecting something so ... painterly? Thank you so much, I love her!

[alias_sqbr]

Yay! Thank you!

[alias_sqbr]

Hooray, I'm glad you like her! I don't do much painting in part because I always end up second guessing myself, but it's fun every now and then as a change.
