chacusha | Dear Creator letter for Multifandom Doodle

I'm

DNWs

Non-canonical pregnancy; original child characters.
Gore / innards. (Injury and blood are fine.)
Creepy irregular bumpy/holey/wormy textures. (This doesn't come up often in art -- I've never seen a piece of fanart with textures that gave me a creeped out feeling but in theory it is possible to creep me out with irregular textures with strongly-defined edges.)

General likes

These are things I always love so much I put them here rather than copy them under all the fandom requests.

Costume (re)design / putting character in outfits of your own making/interpretation.
AUs of all kinds. Canon divergence, modern/mundane AUs, wild/wacky AUs -- it's all good!
- Some of my favorite AUs: IN SPACE! AU, roleswap AU, superhero (or magical girl) AU, coffee shop AU, high school or college AUs (includes teacher AUs), western AU, regency AU, gijinka/human!AU for animal/non-human characters and anthropomorphic animal!AU for human characters (I'm a fan of Animal Crossing style art!), characters sorted into Hogwarts houses, Avatar nations, Westeros houses, Starfleet divisions, etc.
Romance likes: Flirting/seduction, holding hands, blushing/flustered characters, kisses (some ideas), dancing (especially while wearing fancy/formal clothes), characters in wedding clothes.
Contrasts and opposites; symmetry/mirroring. Two characters facing away from each other, for example. Or one right-side up and the other upside-down.
Gratuitous visual symbolism.
Friendly sparring between warrior characters, and fight scenes more generally.
References to memes.
Flowers and flower symbolism.
Art style experimentation, if that's your thing.
All ratings from G to E. Blood/violence/injury is fine. Explicit sex is fine.
Any genre/tone.
Bright colors. Saturated pastel colors like in Impressionist art. Limited palette drawings.
Cute art and chibis and toony art.
Ink drawings or black and white art.
Stylized art. I especially like art nouveau.
Tarot cards.
Incorporation of game mechanics for video game works.
The whole concept of "the beach episode" -- characters on vacation, at the beach, wearing swimsuits, etc.
Fake anime screenshots.

Note: That's a highly non-exhaustive list of my art likes. My art tastes are really broad. If you have your own idea, please go with it!

Final Fantasy VI

Celes Chere & or / Terra Branford
Ifrit & Shiva
Madeline/Maduin
Sabin Rene Figaro/Cyan Garamonde (& Gau)

Celes Chere & or / Terra Branford; Ifrit & Shiva: I don't know if you can tell this from this sign-up but I like ice/fire contrasts, and Celes and Terra and Ifrit and Shiva are perfect for that? I like Celes and Terra as platonic foils but I also think they work so well as people processing trauma and figuring out what romantic love is together. Something intimate and tender like hugging/embracing or holding hands, perhaps? If you want, you could also combine these pairs somehow.

Madeline/Maduin: These two give me feelings 😭 A moment along their journey of falling in love, or something with these two plus baby Terra?

Sabin Rene Figaro/Cyan Garamonde (& Gau): I just love this weird little family unit, especially how Cyan finds it right after he's lost his family. Some ideas: Cyan and Sabin sparring together, brushing/braiding the other's hair, any moment where Sabin and Cyan are being dads to Gau.

Legend of Mana

Creator's Choice of Produce
Creator's Choice of Game Location
Heroine & Creator's Choice of Monster Pet

The art style of this game is just so cozy. I feel like any one of these things would be enjoyable for capturing some of the storybook whimsy of this game. I love the funny produce; the locations in this game are so atmospheric and I'd love to see any kind of rendering of them; and the fact that you can have monster pets is just nice.

Lady Blackpearl
Sandra
Blackpearl & Sandra
Pearl & Blackpearl
Florina/Sandra
Blackpearl/Florina/Sandra
Elle & Flameshe & Monique

I love the Jumi characters, okay?

Blackpearl; Sandra; Blackpearl & Sandra; Pearl & Blackpearl; Florina/Sandra; Blackpearl/Florina/Sandra: I especially like Blackpearl and Sandra's designs. I like that they are both women (or possibly genderfluid) knights. Blackpearl and Sandra make great foils for each other because of their role as Florina's knight and their conflicting approaches to that role. I also always take Blackpearl with me for the end of the Jumi arc and Blackpearl v. Sandra is a great, emotionally-satisfying showdown. Pearl and Blackpearl are also obviously great foils/contrasts too! I definitely thought Sandra's feelings for Florina were coded romantic, and I feel like Blackpearl/Florina/Sandra is a setup that makes sense postcanon. I love the Knight/Guardian duality to Jumi and I think that all of these characters or relationships play with that aesthetic in some way! Anyway, all this is to say I would love to see anything capturing these great things about these characters.

Elle & Flameshe & Monique: And not Jumi, but I just love these three sailor-drowning-mythological-creature gal pals and want to see them hanging out.

Old Kingdom - Garth Nix

I love these books and I find the worldbuilding and visual details like Abhorsen uniform and bells really fascinating. I'm always interested in seeing people's takes on what the characters or locations in the world look like.

Abhorsen's Bells
Charter magic symbols
Charter stone
Creator's Choice of Cleyr
Lirael
Lirael/Nicholas Sayre
Lirael & Disreputable Dog

Lirael is my favorite character! I love the sadness and loneliness of her early life, and how she grows into her role as Remembrancer/Abhorsen-in-waiting. I like her panpipes! I like her and the Disreputable Dog getting into adventures (trouble!) together. I like her artificial golden hand (could work nicely as a crossover with Jaime Lannister or Luke Skywalker). I like the cute awkward puppy love thing she had going on with Nick and would be interested in anything shippy or cute between them. The part in the book where she's in the boat with Nick/Orannis at the Red Lake is one of my favorites, as is Lirael in the Ninth Precinct of Death.

I loved the Clayr characters as well, and I loved the descriptions of various Clayr characters, so I would love to see any one of them or your Clayr OC. :)

I'm also interested in some visual worldbuilding, drawing what Charter magic symbols, Charter stones, or the bells look like.

The Sandman (Comics)

Death of the Endless
Desire of the Endless
Dream of the Endless | Morpheus

One thing I love about these comics is the changing art styles/getting to see the same characters rendered in different ways from issue to issue, the in-universe mechanic that the Endless appear differently to people, and the way the Endless have existed throughout history. I feel like this is very good for fanart: pick a time, pick a place, pick an art style, and show me what they'd look like. I also think that Desire's androgyny is really fun to play with too. I'd love to see what you come up with.

Soulcalibur / Soul Calibur

Hong Yun-seong
Isabella "Ivy" Valentine
Seong Mi-na
Setsuka
Taki
Zasalamel

These are some of my favorite characters/characters who I'm very partial to. I'd love to see them in any look from the game, or for you to give them a makeover. Give them a historically accurate look, maybe? Or make them fashionable, historical accuracy be damned! Other ideas: character relaxing/doing an activity or hobby in their free time that they love.

Some of my favorite outfits: Yun-seong: SC3 1P; Ivy: SC 2P, SC2 2P & 3P, ✨SC3 1P✨; Seong Mi-na: SC3 2P, SC4 1P but I love all of them; Setsuka: SC4 1P; Taki: SC2 2P; Zasalamel: SC3 1P

Hong Yun-seong/Seong Mi-na
Ivy Valentine/Zasalamel
Neve | Setsuka & Patroklos Alexander
Pyrrha Alexandra/Tira

Various relationships I like. Maybe the characters having a meal together (what would they eat?)? Training/sparring/battling?

Yun-seong/Mi-na: Roughhousing; in formal wear.

Ivy/Zasalamel: A meeting in the library.

Setsuka (Neve) & Patroklos: First meeting, Setsuka correcting Patroklos's technique, reunion post-canon?

Pyrrha/Tira: Something creepily tender, like Pyrrha crying and Tira wiping away her tears?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Brunt & Gaila & Leck & Nog & Quark & Rom
Brunt & or / Quark
Odo/Quark
Odo
Quark

Brunt & Gaila & Leck & Nog & Quark & Rom: The Magnificent Ferengi! Would love to see something cute like a fake movie poster, Western-inspired outfits, wanted posters, or anything that highlights their different personalities/vibes. Maybe like little cartoon heads?

Brunt & or / Quark: Every piece of art featuring these two, I have loved so much -- let me try to explain why. Brunt and Quark are really perfect foils/mirrors for each other -- they're about the same power level, they both have almost been Grand Nagus at a couple of points, they're both engaged in more-or-less the same Ferengi game, moreso than other Ferengi you see. And yet there's enough contrasts between them in their personality and demeanor and bearing to give them a real visual contrast. I like them as platonic foils but I also think they both have canonically displayed interest in/attraction to the other and so would be interested in something with a romantic air too. That said, for these two, I prefer a dysfunctional or semi-antagonistic romantic relationship rather than something predominantly fluffy or sweet.

Odo/Quark: My OTP! Anything romantic -- something sweet and fluffy, flirting or having sexual tension with each other, smut, whatever!

Odo, Quark, general notes: I also like these characters individually and find their looks/general vibe cool. Would love any kind of solo depiction/portrait. I enjoy alien redesigns that imagine what Star Trek races could have looked like if not constrained by budget/practicality, which works great for drawn art if that's a direction you want to go -- applies for Odo, Quark, and any other Ferengi character I'm requesting. Or put them in an outfit that they haven't worn in canon? (Quark/all Ferengi deserve all the ostentatious outfits in the world, and Odo could use some pushing out of his boring uniform comfort zone.) Or a screencap redraw in your style could be fun!

Sword of Mana

Hero
Heroine
Julius
Willy

These are some of my favorite characters from this game! I nominated these under Sword of Mana, but I dig their original Seiken Densetsu / Adventures of Mana designs too, so feel free to go with those. Or mash up/combine the two? I like any combination of these characters too. Some ideas: Just, like, a portrait; a moment/scene from the game; any character interacting with a spirit; a moment from any of their childhoods/period growing up.

Mana Tree
Mana Sanctuary

Mana Sanctuary and the Mana Tree floating high above the clouds are both such an Aesthetic. Would love to see any kind of rendition of them.

Trials of Mana

Angela
Charlotte
Duran
Hawkeye
Kevin
Riesz

Okay I'm requesting all the main characters. I enjoy each of them! I'd love to see something inspired by the tiny pixel art (as opposed to the remake designs) -- in particular, all these characters get gear throughout the game (e.g. Kevin's martial arts gi and furs, Charlotte's ridiculously cutesy monster costumes, Angela's dresses, robes, and bikinis, Duran and Riesz's various kinds of armor, Hawkeye's capes) that doesn't really get conveyed in art, but they look cool. Also, all their classchange looks too! Other ideas: Older/postgame looks. Characters using magic/techs.

Pairings:
Angela/Crimson Wizard
Angela/Duran
Crimson Wizard/Duran
Charlotte & or / Kevin
Hawkeye/Riesz

These are various pairings I ship. For the pairwise combinations of Angela, Duran, and the Crimson Wizard, I like the bickering/tension between them. You can also play with the way they serve as foils for each other: Angela vs. Crimson Wizard (good magicless mage vs. evil magicless mage), Angela vs. Duran (bratty princess vs. uncouth knight), and Duran vs. Crimson Wizard (cocky warrior vs. cocky mage).

Charlotte & or / Kevin: I just think these two are cute and both on the same (weird) wavelength. Maybe them interacting with some of the monsters of the world or Vuscav or Flammie.

Hawkeye/Riesz: Maybe Hawkeye wearing Laurentian-style clothing and/or Riesz wearing Nevarlan-style clothing? Detective/thief AU where Riesz is a police detective and Hawkeye is a charming thief ~~out to steal her heart~~?
