I have a new graphics tablet after the last one broke, and Clip Studio Paint has updated in the mean time.

So give me some simple prompts to try them out! I'll be trying to do quick sketches since I think one reason I burned out a bit on art was being too perfectionist.

By "simple" I mean no more than two characters, no complex backgrounds etc. And either you give me an image reference or it's something I can look up easily without having to make many decisions.

Fanart or original. Nothing too sexy, squicky, or containing zombies(*).

Also, if you want, here's some new Clip Studio Paint features I want to try out that you can add to your prompt:


(*)I only have a problem with the mindless contagious sort, or really gross decay. Possessed/controlled corpses or skeletons are fine, and vampires are A+.

Yesterday I burned the tips of some of the fingers on my left hand, today they're mostly better but I still want to avoid using them too much, which is tough given how many of my hobbies involve typing things with my left hand. Even digital art uses key shortcuts.

But traditional art does not! And I'd been meaning to do some pencil sketching anyway, keep those muscles trained. But I find using my imagination with traditional art very frustrating since it's so much harder to tweak if I change my mind.

So! Link me specific images to draw as pencil sketches! Photos, anime characters, landscapes, whatever, any level of detail is fine but anything complex may be represented with evocative scribbles ;) If you don't have a specific image in mind then something I can easily find a single reference for is also fine (eg "a cat", someone already did that but I can always draw another ;)).

No zombies, nothing too sexual, and if you don't have permission to use the image it should be like... stock photos or famous art etc, not some indie artist's original work or some random person's selfie.

Quality will probably be mid since pencil sketches are not my default medium for a reason, but you will get the warm glow of helping me improve as an artist and rest my fingers.

Fanart or original! I may ask for references if it's not something I'm familiar with.

Please no: zombies(*), or anything too sexy or squicky. Also not "Word of Honour" (or Faraway Wanderers) since I'm in the middle of watching.

(*)I only have a problem with the mindless contagious sort, or really gross decay. Possessed/controlled corpses or skeletons are fine, and vampires are A+.

Some canons I am currently into and would especially enjoy prompts for: She-ra, My Next Life as A Villainess

Please no: zombies(*), or anything too sexy or squicky.

I've been having trouble motivating myself to draw lately due to arm pain, so these may be a bit slow, but I do really like drawing so it'll be good to have some motivation to do it.

Give me art prompts including at least one character you see as non-binary!

By non-binary I mean: their gender is not completely and exclusively male or female. All sorts of non-binary are welcome, including non-binary women and non-binary men.

By non-binary character I mean: original non-binary characters, characters who identify as non-binary in canon, and any character you think would go "yeah, that's me" if the concept of being non-binary was explained to them. It doesn't have to be your only head-canon for them, and you don't have to justify it, as long as it's something you feel sincerely.

I'd rather prompts from binary gendered folk not focus on gender or presentation, and avoid aliens/robots etc for whom human gender is irrelevant.

Image references are appreciated for original characters or those who are hard to look up. Please no: zombies, incest, or porn. Also, no non-binary headcanons for characters who are a binary trans man or woman in canon.

If you're having a mental blank here's a place to start.

Leave a comment with a number and a relationship and I'll draw (or possibly write) something!

Gen prompts welcome. Be clear on whether you mean romance or friendship!. No incest or zombies please, and while you can prompt the sexy ones the art itself will be like Teen at most.

I am especially interested in prompts for Hakuoki or The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, but I'm open minded! Original prompts welcome. Visual references are useful for non-visual media.

Please no: zombies(*), or anything too sexy or squicky.

(*)I am down for blood and vampires though ;) Also, like, sentient possessed corpses as long as they're not too gross.

I am especially interested in prompts for Hakuoki or Steven Universe.

Please no: zombies(*) or Iba or Takeda from Hakuoki.

Give me stuff to draw!

Orginal art is cool, and any fandom is fine as long as it's easy to get references (either from you or google)

No sex, zombies, or most common squicks, please, though I can do a bit of violence.

If you can find me Blender compatible models, I quite enjoy doing paintovers of 3D renders. Padme4000 has some nice XPS models of various Mass Effect and Dragon Age characters.

No zombies or anything too sexy or squicky, and if it’s a canon I’m not familiar with I’ll need image refs.

For those needing some inspiration, and to test out dreamwidth's new image posting capabilities, here's a fun pose I have saved in my reference folder, as well as some from the ever inspiring Sailor Sakky DeviantArt. Choose a pose and give me a subject!

Preferably cheerful subjects that have nothing to do with politics or zombies. Fanart or original.
alias_sqbr: "Creative genius" with an arrow pointing to a sketch of me (genius!)
Original or fannish, nothing too complex since my arms have been troubling me. No zombies!

Was going to just comment to [personal profile] lizbee since she was asking me about tablets but WHY NOT GET PROMPTS AS WELL.

So! Art prompts! Original or fannish! No zombies or porn! Preferably something simple because I want to try out the new software, Artrage, that came with the tablet ([personal profile] whatistigerbalm cheers in the distance(*))

And for Liz and anyone else who's curious: it's a medium sized Intuos Pen and Touch Creative from Wacom. Which has been discontinued and replaced with some very similar tablets (eg the Intuos Manga) with no eraser. *clutches eraser* I like it so far! I am a little sad it's not compatible with my old Bamboo pen, since it would be nice to have a spare. Also it has a custom USB cable which will be annoying when I inevitably break it >.>

(*)That is the one you're a fan of, right? It seems pretty nice so far! I only got the older version, 3.5, and not the Pro, but my needs are relatively simple.

Prompts!

Art or writing (or comics or games, if you can think of something short!), original or fannish.

For fic I can only do canons I’m familiar with, Dragon Age Inquisition is what’s most on my mind but I can give other stuff a go. I don’t do prose prompts much, I’m trying to push myself to write more but it may end up very short!

I'm more flexible with art but may require image refs.

And as always, no zombies :)

This is for [community profile] space_swap, which allows art and vids and stuff this year woo!

Distract me from the fact that I don't know exactly when my copy of Dragon Age Inquisition is arriving and I want it NOW.

No zombies. No Dragon Age either, just for this round :)

All prompts will be DROPPED LIKE A HOT POTATO once the game does arrive, but I’ll get back to them…eventually.

I was boggling that I hadn't done one of these since June then looked at my post titles for the last few months and remembered how sick I was for a while there. But I managed to draw some stuff anyway through the fog :) Also I got a copy of Manga Studio 5, which does some lovely lines and painting...that make my computer cry :(

All art has transcripts/descriptions at the link.

Prettiest:

Snow White and Red Riding Hood


Most interesting:
News From The Sea: A little fantasy comic adapted from this short story I wrote. Created for a Comic Books and Graphic Novels course. Transcripts in chapter 2.

As far as I can tell I got...120% for this comic? And that's getting less than half of the available extra credit. lol coursera. But it was fun!

Person of Interest, Avatar: The Legend of Korra/The Last Airbender, Guild Wars 2, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, Red Dwarf, Bastion, Dr Who, Original, Game of Thrones, The Hobbit, Fresh Pretty Cure )

I have to draw a four+ page comic for a coursera course I'm doing and I am TOTALLY BLOCKED.

I'm thinking I'll just adapt part of an existing story, either one of mine or something in the public domain.

Current thoughts tend towards Northanger Abbey but I am open to suggestions! Are there any public domain works, or original/fanfic of public domain works by me that you'd like to see me draw a short story about? Any art of mine you'd be curious to see expanded into a longer story (and have plot ideas for)? AUs are totally welcome but not nonsense crossovers because then I get tangled up figuring out how it WORKS.

It has to be accessible to random strangers so no asking me to write an ending to A Circle of Stars :P Also there is no guarantee I'll actually draw any of it comics are haaaard. BUT I WILL TRY

Also: Penny, I have not forgotten your Asama & Korra prompt, I plan on drawing it the moment the show gets them to a point where I'm not all "Asama & Korra ;_;"

ALSO speaking of AO3 today was FEMSLASHEX REVEALS YAYYY. I drew some Velanna/Sigrun. And I got TWO gifts: Undercover by kiki_miserychic, which is some sexy Root/Shaw art, and Quantum Relations by Settiai which is a very cute EDI/Sam fic.

This course is good but hardddd. I had to write TWO ESSAYS. With an introduction and a thesis and a CONCLUSION. urrrrggghhhhhh essayssssss. Of course we got half marks for even trying because coursera. But the peer assessors said I LACKED A COHERENT THESIS. Luckily we get to do self evaluation too so there was a "you are amazing and all your ideas are gold" to balance things out.

I just downloaded Manga Studio 5 (on sale for $15!) and want to try it out!

So: give me art prompts!

(original or fannish, no zombies. Please provide refs if it's something I can't easily and unambiguously google)
