narya_flameDear Trick or Treater,
Hello! I'm so glad you're going to be making something for me and I'm really excited to see whatever it is you have in mind. These are all art requests; please rest assured that I am not at all fussy about styles and I'm bound to love whatever you make, as long as you stay out of my DNWs. As always, don't read anything into the number of characters requested, how long the prompts are, or whether I've asked for a particular fandom before. Don't feel you have to go out of your way to use my likes or suggestions if they aren't your style or if they don't speak to you (I'm really not picky, they're only there for ideas), and feel free to combine requested fandoms and characters if you're so inspired. Just have fun, and thank you for making me a gift <3

- Unrequested AU that significantly changes the canon setting (e.g. mermaid AU, omegaverse – canon divergence is fine, as is post-canon exploration)
- Pregnant characters/childbirth/babies

- Any requested characters dying or already dead (exception where a ghost character has been requested!)
Art Likes
- Portraits
- Action shots
- Calligraphy/illumination
- Clothing, jewellery and hair
- Close ups of tiny details like stitching, beading, engraving, etc.

- Art as character study
- Comic panels; sets of linked drawings that tell a story

- Facial expressions conveying more than one emotion at once
- Unusual perspectives – through a window, over a gate, down a tunnel, from a distance...

- Beams of light; strangely shaped shadows
- Basically anything that plays with colour, light, shadow, space and movement

I'm not really expecting to match on this but it might be a fun one to explore if whatever we've matched on has lost its appeal. It's really short and can be found here - I don't really think I can give you any ideas beyond those in the text itself. If you like setting as character then this one is definitely for you!
- The adventures of the young warrior - triumphant, exciting, or terrifying? Or just a quiet moment by the fire? You decide.
- The river watches peacefully over those who live, play and love on her banks. (Or: the river loves you and wants to drown you slowly, then eat the flesh from your bones.)
- The cat, the king's fisher and the otter-folk, playing together, or hiding from the horrors of the Old Forest
- Old Swan and/or Fíriel, relaxing by the river, or sadly watching the Elf ships sail
- Barrow-wights - waiting in the hills, and reaching out of the shadows to unwary travellers...
- If you want to do calligraphy of part or all of one of the poems featuring the character we've matched on, that would be absolutely delightful

This is pretty straightforward - basically, I love dinos, gimme gimme! Clever Girl (and her velociraptor pack) looking you in the eye before going for the kill, or peeping through the jungle foliage? The T-Rex in the storm, screaming to the skies? Baby dinos just hatched, or a dino bonding with its handler? (Ideas only - any dino content very welcome.)

I am especially fond of the 1996 version with Helena Bonham Carter - the casting is so on point and the Cornish scenery is gorgeous - but I am open to any era or interpretation here. If we've matched on Viola then please go wild with gender presentation fun. (This canon is an exception to my shipping DNW.)
