Fandom and character(s):
Ancient Egyptian Religion, Set
• He's god of the desert and the margins, of boundaries and liminal places, and you could certainly do something playing with his many duel roles and multifaceted nature. Or something using some of the imagery associated with him: the red of the desert; the savage storms that sink ships at sea or whip up the desert sands; the enduring grey iron ('the bones of Set'). Or a dramatic scene, such as one of his battles.

Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
• The whole thing is filled with over-the-top descriptions of everything from architecture, to scenery, to feasts, to processions, to people being torn apart, to beautiful nymphs.

Liao Zhai Zhi Yi | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pu Songling
• I'm always happy with fox spirits, of which canon offers a great variety.

Tang Dynasty RPF, Li Ho | Li He | Li Changji (Tang Dynasty RPF)
• I'm specifically asking for his poetic imagery being literally real, so this could definitely work for art too. (A number of his poems are linked in my letter.)

General Art Likes: I like 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), or, conversely, bold and simple (particularly if black and white, or black, white and one other colour). 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. I mostly prefer colour schemes that are either fairly muted, or with rich jewel tones, but generally not neons, pastels or deliberately clashing colours.
