Art ideas!

[telophase]

I need art ideas! And rachelmanija needs to procrastinate!

AnimeFest is coming up in less than a month, and I need to produce art for it. What seems to sell well, besides the poster of the three hot clones from Advent Children, is things that depict little moments between people, especially humorous or "Awwwwwwwwww!". The one I've got of wee!Naruto measuring his hand against Iruka's always sells, as does the Naruto/Hinata one ripping off Lady and the Tramp with ramen noodles. The standard "character-in-pose" doesn't sell especially well - there needs to be some sort of story implied.

So: any ideas? I'll take any manga.anime fandom, although I'm more likely to do something from Naruto, Saiyuki, Death Note, Bleach, Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts I, Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, or anything else that's been on the Cartoon Network.

rachelmanija really wanted me to put up a poll for this, but my head hurts due to crawling around under desks looking for active network drops and I can't think of anything good to put up in one.



1. Byakuya in the beauty parlor, getting his VERY NOBLE ornamental curlers put in and chatting with other shinigami in the next chairs (Kenpachi-- that 'do must take some maintenance, and Yumichika getting a manicure.)

2. You know that iconic LIFE photo of a WWII sailor bending a woman over backwards for a kiss? Do it with Sakura and Sasuke, with Sasuke the one who's bent over backwards.

3. Kakashi getting "Icha Icha" autographed by Jiraiya.

4. Shikamaru pulling Temari toward him with his shadow.

5. Baby!Gaara building a sand castle.

6. Subaru and Seishirou playing chess (for a white-black destiny extravaganza)

7. Vash at Dunkin Donuts (or Winchell's, whatever's local.)

8. Cop!Hakkai cuffing Hustler!Gojyo.

9. Ukoku and Koumyou facing each other, silhouetted against a full moon.

10. Mugen or Jin, engrossed in some activity, unaware that Momo is about to land on them like the facehugger in "Alien."

I especially like # 1, 5 and 9, and may be attempting them.

Shirtless Renji lying on his stomach, getting his tattoos touched up.

Niiiiiiiice.

Shirtless Renji lying on his stomach as someone runs their fingers along his tattoos?

Got reference for his tattoos other than his face? I've only got the Viz versions so far, and there's nothing more than that in them.

If she doesn't, I can look resources up when I get home. There're some splash pages that show them off better.

Sweet, thanks. :)

Yeah, there's a nice shot of him without his shirt, showing the tattoos on his back in one of the scans... um... I think somewhere in volumes 20-22? It gave me the idea, actually. I can look for it for you, but I bet if you asked on one of the Bleach communities, someone already has it uploaded.

If heyoka doens't track it down, all I need is the chapter number and I can go download it off stoptazmo. I just don't want to face their slooow servers and have to download a number of chapters and spoil myself while looking through them. :)

Chapter 173. Try not to look at the rest of it; it's massively spoilery.
