chacusha | Dear Creator letter for Multifandom Doodle 2023 Round 2

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

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 (e.g. Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man; Woman Yelling at Cat; ThisIsFineDog.jpg, "Sometimes I can still hear his voice"; meme redraws like Me, My Girlfriend, and Her 500 Dollar Four Foot Tall Mareep; etc. etc.).
Art memes like character hairstyle meme or blushing faces meme (or whatever variants you like).
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.
Pixel art.
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!

Chrono Trigger

Ayla
Lucca Ashtear
Marle
Nu
group: Ayla & Lucca & Marle
group: Crono's mother & Crono's cat(s)
group: Lucca Ashtear & Robo

I love the designs in this game -- I used to doodle them sooo much. Any kind of cool portrait, these characters in your style, these characters wearing something different than what they wear in the game (redesign? winter clothes? clothing swap? wearing clothes to match the time setting they're in?). The Nu's design is so funny. Please just doodle a Nu. Something cozy featuring Crono's mom and any of Crono's cats? Maybe a cat sleeping on her lap or chasing after a ball of yarn while she's knitting? Any of these groups of characters? Adding any other character or pairing not requested is welcome; I just was particularly interested in these ones and so wanted to make sure I got one of them.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Rapha Galthena
Marach Galthena & Rapha Galthena
Creator's Choice of Redesigned Jobclass
Original Jobclass Design

Rafa/Rapha and Malak/Marach are my favorite FFT characters. Would love to see anything for them -- individual portraits, the two of them together, casting magic, in the clothes of any jobclass, interacting with any other character, etc.

I also really like the jobs in this game and how cute the art style is. I'd love to see your take on any of the jobs, or a new job of your invention.

Magic Knight Rayearth

Things I like about this canon: I like the gems and armor and JRPG inspiration of the general look of the Cephiro. I like the vaguely color-coded characters.

Alcyone
Ascot
Caldina
Lafarga
Shidou Hikaru

I debated quite a bit which set of characters to request. Then I noticed that all four of Zagato's underlings made my shortlist of favorites so I decided to theme my request around them. I'd be happy to receive any of these characters individually, or any combination of them, or any of them interacting with any other MKR character. In general, I'm a big fan of Shitennou / Four Heavenly Kings as a JRPG/Japanese fantasy trope -- if you want to do a mash-up with any Shintennou-like character in a Final Fantasy game, I'd be up for that. (I also feel like MKR characters map onto Final Fantasy classes nicely, so that's another mash-up idea.)

Alcyone: My favorite MKR character! She may be an obasan but she is hot and I love her design. I vaguely remember in the anime that they did things with her character I wasn't into, though? Please just keep her a badass "o~hohoho" ice sorceress lady with tragically unrequited love for Zagato.

Ascot: Whether a child or adult he is a cutie. Maybe something with his summons or something silly where people react to how tall he is as an adult. I like his relationship with Umi too.

Caldina: Love her bubblegum pink hair and matching personality. Maybe something involving dancing -- doing different styles of dancing or dancing poses or something. I like her relationship with Lafarga but also am happy for either of them to be paired with other characters.

Lafarga: I love loyal knights and I think he is handsome. I also think Lafarga looks a lot like Final Fantasy Adventure's Julius, if you want a random crossover idea.

Shidou Hikaru: I feel a bit weird requesting Hikaru without Umi and Fuu, but what the heck, let's do it. I have a habit of using Hikaru as my internet avatar that goes WAY back, so I feel an affinity with the character. Anything with gratuitous use of red, pink, or fire will make me happy. I like the various outfits she wears in artbook illustrations, especially the fantasy ones.

ReBoot (Cartoon 1994)

Adult Enzo Matrix
AndrAIa
Bob
Daemon
Dot Matrix
Hexadecimal
Little Enzo Matrix
Megabyte
Mouse
Ray Tracer

I'm a big fan of this show. I like the cast and the designs -- the viruses especially are such an Aesthetic. Some ideas: A character drawn in your style; redesign a character for modern CGI; character(s) rebooted into a parody of [game of your choice]; mundane AU. Please pick your favorite character of these, or your favorite ship involving any of these characters. I'm happy with anything!

Soulcalibur / Soul Calibur

Hong Yun-seong
Isabella "Ivy" Valentine
Maxi
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✨; Maxi: I like all of them, 1P and 2P both (his look doesn't change much from game to game!); 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

Various relationships I like. I am desperate for content for any of these relationships; would love to see any of them just like side by side. Other ideas: 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?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Brunt & Gaila & Leck & Nog & Quark & Rom
Brunt & or / Quark
Odo/Quark
Odo
Quark
Creator's Choice of Scene from Recipient's AO3 Fic

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/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. Anything with these two -- flirting, smut, on a vacation or business trip together, whatever you have in mind.

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!

I've written a lot of fic for this fandom, and would love fanart for any of them!

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.

Creator's Choice of Scene from Any AO3 Fic
Creator's Choice of Scene from Recipient's AO3 Fic

Pretty much all of the fic in the Sword of Mana AO3 tag was either written by me or written as a gift for me, so yeah, I'd be happy with a scene from any of the fic there (aside from the crossovers).

Trials of Mana

Hawkeye/Riesz

I kind of forgot to nominate anything more, but happy to request these two. Maybe something inspired by the pixel art (original class change designs, the weird colors they get when they class change, gear you can buy/equip in the game but which doesn't change their appearances). 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~~? Older/postgame looks? Any scene from one of my fics?

I'm very not picky when it comes to this game. I'm basically happy with any character, not just these two.
