chacusha | Dear Creator letter for Doodle 4 Doodle 2025

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!

A Song of Ice and Fire

Fandom-specific DNWs: Looks mainly inspired by the show. A bit of influence is fine but I would like to see at least some elements not indebted to the show because that's so much harder to find nowadays. Please give your own personal take on these characters -- I'd absolutely love that.

Catelyn Tully Stark
Orys Baratheon
Sandor Clegane/Sansa Stark

Catelyn Stark: I'm just craving some art of her. Robert's Rebellion-era Catelyn, present-day Catelyn, a portrait, or a slice of life/domestic scene, or your favorite Catelyn moment/scene from the books, modern AU, by herself or with another character, roleswap AU of your choice.

Orys Baratheon: Random historical character I like. I'd like to see your take on him! If you want to throw in another character, feel free. No other prompts -- just want art of this character, whatever you want to do.

Sandor/Sansa: I will never not ship these two. They're so great for fanart too -- big gruff scarred warrior and his tiny Disney princess. Just having them stand next to each other is great. Other ideas: hanging around King's Landing together, medieval/chivalric imagery, Battle of the Blackwater, meeting again, modern AU, sci-fi AU, dog/bird or dog/wolf imagery, Sansa + Sandor + the many dogs they undoubtedly adopt together.

Bravely Default & Bravely Second (Video Games)

Alternis/Edea

My OTP, which I'm always hungry for more art for! I know Alternis's armor is Evil to draw (or at least I think so), so feel free to draw him in an alternate costume. Some random ideas: sparring; hugging from behind; getting married (including it happening in Alternis's imagination); coffee + sweets; something angsty (e.g. one killing the other); depicting any kind of "pining-activating scenario" like sleeping close together, riding on a motorcycle, wearing the other person's clothes, etc.; modern AU; superhero/tokusatsu AU; black/red color schemes; Alternis blushing (with or without his helmet on lol); genderswapped Altdea; a sketch Alternis drew of him and Edea together.

Brother Bear

Denahi
Kenai
Sitka
Tanana

I adore all the human characters in this film and always wish there was more fanart of them! Any of these characters in your style; imagery related to their totem (including headcanons for what Tanana's totem is); younger/older versions of these characters; modern AU; furry/anthropomorphic animal/Animal Crossing versions of characters; characters being Insufferable Brothers; something cute; funny facial expressions.

Final Fantasy X

Fandom-specific DNWs: Auron/Lulu.

Lulu/Wakka

My super rarepair canon ship. orz It's so hard to get anything for this ship (or for Wakka more generally), so would be delighted with anything. Some ideas: Getting married (including Besaid wedding dress/customs); younger/older versions of them; depicting any kind of "pining-activating scenario" like sleeping close together, riding on a motorcycle, wearing the other person's clothes, etc.; family portrait; battle couple/got each other's back; grumpy/sunshine vibes; understated displays of affection.

Kimahri
Lulu
Wakka

I really like the character designs in this game -- I think they're top tier. Give me art of any of these characters and I will be so happy. Portraits, wearing alternative outfits, using weapon/magic/skills, downtime/hobbies, modern AU, roleswap of your choice, etc. Feel free to add other characters too if you want as I appreciate their relationship with basically everyone -- the only DNW is that I'm not into the Auron/Lulu ship (sorry).

Kimahri: Big blue cat! Kimahri looking more like a traditional Lancer/Dragoon; any kind of close-up/detail of parts of his costume; Kimahri as an actual cat or lion, or human!AU Kimahri; anything highlighting height difference (either between him + non-Ronso characters or him + other Ronso).

Lulu: Lulu with her hair down or with short hair; Lulu in something more casual (or IS she already in casual wear??); Lulu with/making her plushies; Kingdom Hearts-style redesign; Lulu being goth on the beach.

Wakka: Just, like, a portrait (I like his ridiculous flame-lick hair lol); Wakka + a blitzball (could be the standard one or one of the gnarlier ones he uses in battle); costume redesign/Wakka wearing something other than the Besaid Auroch uniform; fem!Wakka; Wakka having an "older brother" moment with anyone else.

The Orville

Claire Finn

Claire is probably my favorite character -- I'd just love to see anything for her. A portrait (the green streaks in Claire's hair my beloved <3); wearing an interesting outfit, including anything she wore in the show, or a crossover outfit, or a costume for a simulation program. If you want to draw her with any other character, including ships, go ahead!

Secret of Mana

This game is a nostalgia favorite of mine. I really like the original pixel art and the remake art as well, and also the various illustrations that were produced for this game. Anything that takes the bright fantasy art of this game and does something with it would be appreciated. <3

Primm

I used to doodle her a lot when I was young. I'd just like a portrait of her in your style, inspired by the pixel or new or old concept art; using one of the weapons or casting magic; modern AU; older/postcanon Primm; redesign. Okay if you want to add other characters, but it's optional!

Creator's Choice of Boss
Creator's Choice of Elemental Spirit
Forest of Seasons
Moon Palace

I adore the designs of the elemental spirits, and Secret of Mana's were the first designs I encountered, so they have a special place in my heart. Would love to see your doodle for any of these. This game also has such creative boss designs -- I always like seeing people's takes interpreting the pixel art into how it would look in the world of the game. Please draw me your favorite boss! I also like all the locations in this game -- they're gorgeous and so atmospheric, but I love the Forest of Seasons and the outer space imagery of the Moon Palace in particular. Anything with these would be great ♥

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

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.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Brunt & Gaila & Leck & Nog & Quark & Rom
Brunt & or / Quark
Odo/Quark
Lwaxana Troi
Odo
Quark
Creator's Choice of Doodle from a fic I wrote

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!

Lwaxana: Lwaxana is one of my favorite Star Trek characters. Let her be fashionable -- in an outfit she's worn in canon or one of your own design, or naked! naked wearing only jewelry!; her in a wig/hairstyle of your choice (or in her natural hair!); drawing her in period (Earth) costumes might also be fun, or wacky AU/alternate versions of her. (I'm requesting her under DS9 to save me a fandom slot, but please feel free to draw on her appearances in TNG or have her interacting with TNG characters if you like.)

Odo, Quark: I also like these characters individually and would love any kind of solo depiction/portrait. Redesign them, or put them in an outfit that they haven't worn in canon? Or a screencap redraw in your style could be fun!

General notes: 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 Lwaxana, Odo, and any other Ferengi character I'm requesting.

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

Visions of Mana

Aesh
Careena
Hinna
Julei
Khoda
Lyza
Morley
Palamena
Val

This game didn't get much attention, but I really liked it! I liked the character designs and would just love to see doodles of any of these characters. For the main party, you can choose any of the class looks that you like. Or draw a character with a different hairstyle? Or enjoying a day at the beach. Modeling modern-day fashions. Or draw them as if from a fake anime adaptation of this game. Character + appropriate flower/plant imagery might be nice for this game!

Anything I've ever Requested in the Medium or Technique You've Always Wanted to Try

Creator's Choice of Doodle from art I made

In general, I LOVE medium experiments, especially experiments involving traditional media -- very happy if you use one of my past requests to try out something that's new for you: https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything/username/chacusha?groupby=fandom

I basically always request art when it's an option, and I had about five more fandoms I wanted to request but didn't have enough slots for, so please feel free to fill one of my older prompts instead of the ones in this sign-up.

Also always happy to get derivative fanworks for any of my fanworks.
