I do not know a lot about art. That said, I like tarot cards, I think tenebrism is sexy, and I enjoy symbolism. But also, I like comics and cartoony things. It all depends on what vibe you're going for. :)

Fandom and character(s): Asking for It (Jonah, Vivienne), Christine (Arnie, Dennis), Dublin Murder Squad (Frank, Olivia), Under the Skin (Amlis, Isserley)
Prompts:

My letter might give some ideas. I like art that plays with what a character would look like with some conceptual change (cyberpunk, historical or future fashion, cracky clothing choices, etc). I love whimsical/old-fashioned/pastiche styles, limited palettes, black and white, cross-hatching/intaglio effects, animals/creatures or mythology imagery, tarot cards, portraits or a sense of movement or candidness as in photos. I'm open to sexually explicit art; I would prefer for gore to be limited to superficial injuries, but violence/darker subjects implied are fine.

*Throwing in some "face-casts" I'm in no way demanding you follow/imitate:
Jonah Marks = Jon Bernthal or Tyler Hoechlin
Frank Mackey = Sean Maguire
Olivia Mackey = Paula Malcolmson or Kim Basinger

Prompts:
Anything prompted in the letter is obviously fair game! I love portraits, more dynamic character interactions, both colourful and black-and-white images, just about any style, and anything that might start to tell a story. You don't have to do comics to tell me a story, mind--one of the loveliest gifts I've ever received in any exchange is a single image that says SO MUCH to me. :D Honestly, anything that showcases what YOU love to create will brighten my winter more than you can possibly know.

NB: I'm fine with art getting to R-rated areas, but I'd prefer not to receive X-rated art.

[lamiacalls]

AO3 Handle: LamiaCalls
Letter Link: https://lamiacalls.dreamwidth.org/4295.html

General Art Likes: I like a wide variety of art! Bold colours, black & white/greyscale, jewel tones, dark neons. I love interesting compositions and perspectives, and shots that feel like the characters were caught in the moment. I like most tones — fluffy and bright or dark and angsty or intimate and intense.

I like comics and gifs too! I don’t have specific art-related DNWs. I have more specific ideas in my individual prompts below, but yeah, I’m open to pretty much anything! Get weird with it, too, if you like!

Note that all my prompts are suggestions, I'd be happy to receive any art for these canons in general!

Fandom and character(s): Detective Grimoire (Video Games)
Detective Grimoire, Sally
Prompts: The art both of these games is gorgeous, so I would be happy with anything in that style -- or go for something more noir-leaning. Or anything else, really.
- Either or both characters as playing cards - Grimoire as the Jack and Sally as Ace of Spades could be fun?
- Them at Tangle Tower! It's so gorgeous in the game but we don't actually see them as characters moving through the world, so I would be extremely into that.
- Environmental art of Tangle Tower that doesn't include them is something I'd be psyched for too, it's so beautiful.
- Sally working in the swamp.
- What their agency office looks like.
- Them inspecting a crime scene.

Fandom and character(s): Hex (TV)
Ella, Thelma
Prompts: The show was dark in colour but the gothicness of the hall was always constrasted with the vast amount of land and nature outside the school. I tend to associate Ella with purples, but no opinion on other characters. Anything playing up the gothic nature would be great.
- Religious iconography would work pretty well for this, I think? In this case, neither Ella or Thelma need to be directly involve, because I could see some cool Azazeal imagery. But Ella being included in wood carvings or book illustrations of stained glass, slightly hidden, would be very fun.
- The three of them (Ella, Thelma & Leon) in the final scenes of the series, running away from the school as it's lit on fire.
- Or, canon divergence that shows them ready to fight in front of the school (which could still be alight)?
- Any ghostly goodness with Thelma: shenanigans, or her watching Cassie sleep, or doing any other ghostly things.
- Contrasting Thelma's in-corporealness with Ella's groundedness could be cool?
- Finally, some tarot cards, maybe? I'm not sure which they would be, although I like Ella as Judgement, I think!

Fandom and character(s): The Ten Thousand Doors of January - Alix. E Harrow
Any
Prompts: The book's cover is gorgeous, and anything along those lines would be cool. But I'm open to a wide array of art styles!
- Any representation of the characters would be cool! I'm not a very visual reader, so I don't have set visions of any of them and would like to see them.
- Capturing the scene of January finding that door in the field would be lovely.
- Seeing Adelaide and Yule Ian meeting for the first time, or her desperately waiting for him, would be lovely. Or! Them being reunited <3
- Art of the doors in any manner would be lovely.
- Show me Havemeyer being his creep-ass self, menacing January!

I'm also happy to receive art for my Polygon/McElroy Vlogs & Podcasts RPF request, but I have no specific prompts past my fiction ones (see my letter for those)!

Fandom and character(s):

كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة | Kitaab 'alf layla wa-layla | One Thousand and One Nights
جعفر بن یحیی برمکی | Ja'far ibn Yahya al-Barmaki

Tang Dynasty Poets RPF
Lǐ Hè | Lǐ Chángjí

Liáo zhâi zhì yì | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pú Sônglíng
Any (no characters nominated)

Prompts: Art welcome for any fandom, although Tang Dynasty RPF is the most obviously appropriate - I'm asking for a story where the ghost and demon haunted imagery in his poems was real, so there's a lot you could work with there. (You can read some of his poems in translation here.) But something based on Strange Tales would work too, with its foxes and it ghosts and its wonders and the uncertain line between reality and dream. Or indeed, if you can see a way to turn my prompts about Ja'far into art, go for it!

Examples of things I like (this part is probably poorly phrased! I've tried to indicate examples of what I mean, but they may not have made anything clearer): A sense of detail and precision (e.g. illustrations in late Victorian children's books; botanical sketches; complicated repeating patterns; Indian and Persian miniatures; bird-and-flower paintings, particularly of the gongbi school). Conversely, also bold and simple (particularly if black and white, or black, white and one other colour, and more graceful, sinuous lines, rather than angular or blocky). Or suggestive, with some parts trailing off into misty imprecision (e.g. Song dynasty landscape painting), or merely an impression created by a few brushstrokes. Colour schemes either fairly muted, or with rich jewel tones, but generally not neons, pastels or deliberately clashing colours.
