Fanart meme!

[telophase]

Stolen from the_z - if you want to join in over on her version of the meme, go here and request away. I'm changing it a wee bit, to suit me (time!) needs.

Five (5) people who leave a comment will be chosen at random. This post will be left up for a day so it's not just first come, first served. [Since I want to start tonight, I'm leaving it open until 6 PM Central time. Feel free to post requests after then, but they'll go into my General Inspiration File and not be part of this] I'll determine chosen requests by a roll of the dice. I will post the fandoms for which I am willing to draw and will only honor requests from those categories. Here's the twist, if you get a picture from me, I want a picture from you. Even if you're not an artist, I want to see an image (by my request) from the same fandom you've requested. These images must be hosted on your own webspace. If you don't have means to scan images, you can draw on the Magatsu.net Oekaki. All images will be posted as comments, so check back if you're interested. You may post this on your own journal.

Feel free to suggest more than just the character - a pose, situation, etc. or prompt would be nice. :D

Relevant Fandoms:

Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children, Cowboy Bebop, Qwan, Bleach, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Gaiden, Fruits Basket, Naruto, Death Note, Non-Disney Kingdom Hearts, Okami (er, from the first two sections because I haven't finished the third and there's at least one spoilery character in the last section I don't want to know more about until I play), Samurai Deeper Kyo, Princess Tutu, Blade of the Immortal, Rurouni Kenshin, xxxHolic, Fullmetal Alchemist, Mushishi

NOTE: These will be more on the order of oekaki or quick, messy sketches, rather than fully rendered nice pieces. :)

========================

ETA Requests for the meme are closed! If you post anything after this, it'll all go into my General Inspiration File and may or may not see the light of day, but I'm only using the currently-posted requests for the random drawing.

Saiyuki Gaiden/Saiyuki, maybe something about echoes of reincarnation or Goku-in-cave? Or something representing sakura: impermanence and beauty and mono no aware and promises.

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

I barely know anything about any of those! Well, I know about Final Fantasy and Fullmetal Alchemist, but everyone draws fanart of that... Only read volume 1 of Qwan and still have to finish Death Note (one day I may actually get around to it). Which leaves the only thing I've finished and know about Fruits Basket by default. :D

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D Any particular character/s, prompts, etc? XD

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

Pah, you mean you want me to supply you with actual details?! ;)

Umm, well since I love Kyo lets choose him and lets have him attempting to be nice/ helpful towards Tohru in some fashion (and probably messing it up somehow XD) because he's always awkwardly charming when he's not being angry. :D

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Saiyuki / Gaiden, Gojyo and Kenren :D

(Watch me whimper because it's *years* since I drew...)

[nightambre.livejournal.com]

Tatsuki, from Bleach :D

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Sure...why not.

Fruits Basket, Hatori

Erm...I'll follow up with a pose in a minute I need to think about that.

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see Hatori not looking irritated or surly. Casual clothes (or as casual as he gets anyway) a plus.

Or else, maybe Rin not looking irritated or surly.

(Do you sense a theme here...?)

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

In Fruits Basket you only get "irritated or surly" and "confused/ determined" flavours. ;)

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

See, that's where the artistic license comes in! ;-)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Someone once asked me to do a picture of Heero from Gundam Wing ... smiling. I somehow managed to pull it off. I NOW FEAR NO ARTISTIC EVIL.

[farli.livejournal.com]

*think* Rue from Princess Tutu!

...That, or Yuuko from xxxHolic. I still love the print I got from you at akon~

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Kenshin! Because I don't think I've ever seen any RK artwork from you. :o

[telophase.livejournal.com]

(I've done Kenshin a couple of times, but the last was a year ago (http://telophase.deviantart.com/art/Kenshin-in-Motion-Toned-36179742). :D)

[rachel-renee.livejournal.com]

Cowboy Bebop or Rurouni Kenshin!

[rachel-renee.livejournal.com]

Forgot to add:
From CB, I love Ed and Ein. The techno-geek in me has too much fun watching them!
From RK, it has to be Meg and Sano. There is too much of an untold story between the two of them.

MUGEN VS IRUKA Yaone in a Sari Because We Remembered She's Actually From India, Fakir the Emo Beatnik, or Ginko the Punk Rocker. Because any of the above will be hot.


Now that I have a mailing address again, I will trade you stuff for that Tutu doujinshi! (P.S. I LOVE & ENVY YOU KOREAN TUTU FANS)

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Yaone in a sari? BRILLIANCE! I bow before your superior omake requesting ability.

[octopedingenue]

ISN'T IT A PRETTY THOUGHT? It would probably cut down on battle breast bounce fatigue, too.

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Those chains have got to chafe...

[tokyoghoststory.livejournal.com]

RENO!

looking shocked! and amazed!

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Konzen. Sunflowers and liminal light; jewels and braids; bonds and bare feet.

[madame-manga.livejournal.com]

Blade of the Immortal:

Manji on horseback, Rin behind sitting sidesaddle and holding on to him for dear life. Manji is chasing down a couple of people who may escape completely if he doesn't hurry, which is the only reason he deigned to get on a horse. He was trained to ride as a young samurai, but he much prefers his own two legs.

Rin would like to see Manji succeed in catching these people, who ambushed them, wounded Manji and came very close to badly harming her, but she's a little concerned about the degree of Manji's anger... and she likes riding a horse even less than he does!

Okay, that was probably way overdescribed for a sketch... and it's obviously a fanfic situation. I have no shame. ;D But I've also got reference available for traditional Japanese horse tack, if it comes to that!

Spike and Julia from Cowboy Bebop, in the rain, with ravens gathering.

Rukia in a sleigh drawn by two pale horses (Bleach).

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Naruto timeskipped American high school AU, any characters but as their high school archetypes.

[octopedingenue]

Sasuke will regain the glory of the Uchiha when he goes to All-State on the French horn!

[umadoshi.livejournal.com]

...I so very much can't draw (even with the "stick figure okay" note from later). And yet Fruits Basket is on the list. o_o I would work something out.

Since someone else requested Rin, I'll request Hatsuharu. Prompt, um...cooling down after karate practice. Or anything else.

(Someday I'm going to have a bit of money set aside, and on that day I'm quite likely going to ask you about your commission rates. ^^)

REQUESTS CLOSED!

Anything posted after this comment gets to be added to my General Inspiration File and may eventually see the light of day, but won't be in the random drawing.

Yuya goes into sprouty-haired shonen explosion mode while Kyo makes the O: face!

[chomiji]

Ooooh, I'm so sorry I missed this ... (but then I might have had to draw ....)
