Prompts:
General art likes/prompts: I love art that tells a little story (including little comic panels/cartoons/meme redraws, art with a bit of a "punchline", especially for the more comedic fandoms I've requested), anything displaying a secret hidden moment of intimacy or touch between two characters (shippy art in general, too, of course), and atmospheric settings featuring rain, snow, old buildings, lamps, or trains.
On the more format-y side of things, I like art that experiments with the interplay of shadows and light, illustrations of canon scenes, monochrome art, art nouveau and art deco, and art that imitates the appearance of old photographs or other in-universe visual documents (for example propaganda posters).

Some more fandom-specific prompts: As many of my requested fandoms are text- or audio-only (Dot, In the Light, First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, Hidden Almanac) and therefore do not provide canon appearances, any depiction of how you imagine the characters would be just amazing for these!!!
Furthermore, Nyaight of the Living Cat creates a lot of opportunity for cute cats doing cute things - and also to design cat appearances for those characters that have not been turned into cats (yet?). In this regard, I would be delighted to receive art of my requested characters as cats, but if you have different faves in the series, please feel free to draw those instead! (Or, of course, to draw the human characters and no cats at all.)

NSFW likes: I like semi-clothed sex (especially for the more historical fandoms on my request list, I love the fashions of the past and would enjoy seeing them all rumpled or pushed aside in an intimate moment!), or NSFW art that is more "suggestive"/implies rather than shows, but I'm also open to more explicit art if that's where the mood takes you.


However, please don't worry too much about my likes or prompts. I would just love to see these characters/fandoms visually represented, in whichever context you want to put them in, and in whichever style you are most comfortable. Thank you!
