I'm not sure how useful my letter is for art, but I'd love artwork for all of these! For the book fandoms, any kind of visual take on what the characters or the settings might look like would be great; for the visual fandoms, something character-centric would be great. I like art styles from realistic to highly stylised, full or limited palettes, stark contrast or something gentler. Recently, I've also found stained glass-style art very delightful, in case that's something that interests you.

I love art that focuses on one tiny moment in canon and puts it in the spotlight, AU moments of what might have been, or missing scenes. Action or domestic, romantic or angsty or both. Characters touching, or looking at each other. I also love portraits of individual characters, or for worldbuilding, depictions of scenery, objects, maps ... Maybe spaceships for the SF books, or something steampunky for Nantucket. Or more symbolic artwork that doesn't depict any particular scene. Or (where applicable) fanart for my own fic! I like art styles from realistic to highly stylised, full or limited palettes, stark contrast or something gentler.

For character interactions, shippy or gen is both great. Any rating.

Art-specific DNWs: characters blushing, pieces that are entirely in pastel colours
