[Sketch Requests] Open Season

[elfgrove]

I have not been sleeping properly lately. It is wearing on me.

Okay. Still trying to get back into the art groove. (I want to get back drawing Schwane Zwei, CotND, and Gwarchiedwad.)

So I'm opening sketch requests again. Sketch requests are going to be like what you just saw that I just finished for the Slayers Friending Meme. This is pretty much first-come first-serve, but if you just got a sketch in the friending meme, there's a small risk that you might get bumped for someone I have not done a sketch for in a while. I'd say don't let that hold you back from making a new request though. The last time I did something like this with 10 slots, it never filled up.

Request Rules!

1. You must specify the fandom and character(s) you want.
   
2. You must specify some sort of prompt. A single word or a 1~2 sentence idea of what you want to see.
   
3. Max of two characters per sketch.
   
4. One sketch per person.
   
5. Keep it PG-13.
   
6. Please don't make it overly complicated. I'm really just not that good.
   
7. [Temporary(?) Rule] This is currently limited to the following fandoms: Slayers, Princess Tutu, Gurren Lagaan, Avatar:TLA**, Rayearth, InuYasha, Gunparade March, FFVII~X, FMA, Utena, Chrno Crusade, Kenshin, Hikaru no Go, Full Metal Panic, Ouran High School Host Club, Hana Kimi, Skip Beat, Library Wars, Ghost Hunt, and of course--any of my original characters/series.
   

I'll open it up to any fandom if the list doesn't fill up. OR, if you have an idea from another fandom, try me anyways, I'm flexible. I just want to keep it limited to shows I'm actually familar with. I'm trying to get back in the swing of drawing after extended breaks due to problems with my right hand; I'm not looking for major challenges or curve balls.
Also, in 12~24 hours or so I will open this up to people outside my FL, and post the offer to a couple of comms. OPENED UP.
**With Avatar, I have NOT watched the ending yet, please do not spoil me. Firebending Masters is the farthest I've seen.

Max number of requests (for now) is 20.

Requests now full. We have a couple of repeat requestors from the Slayers meme, so any additional requests would be bumping them. (As may be obvious by now, all comments here are being screened.)
Although, as eveshka is signed up as a trade for a writing a Lina/Zel fic for me, she cannot be bumped. Lina/Zel fic *joy* !

Juri raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman. Her long purple hair was loose, and her green eyes sparkled above exotic dark cheekbones. She stood there with her shoulders back, no trace of the self-effacing slouch that Anshii had carried as the Rose Bride. Juri had always thought well of herself in a mirror, but compared to the regal appearance of Anshii… “It’s little wonder they hated you.”

...that enough to get a sketch of Anshii? ^_^

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Sure is!

[koneko.livejournal.com]

Could you make an exception for Saito/Louise? ♥

If not, don't worryyyyy :]

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Of course I can. XD

[fastbilly1.livejournal.com]

ooh ooh. The greatest singer to ever live, as for the rest of the image, you can figure that out, I trust you on that.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Haha. You just knew you would get away with completely ignoring the rules by pulling the Heino card. ^_~

[twinklebat.livejournal.com]

I can stick to the rules. Howsabout something with Primera and Mokona? Something cute and/or silly.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Sure thing!
I'm very happy that you got in on requesting something. XD

[asatira.livejournal.com]

How about a knightly Fakir and Sigfried!Mytho? (I think it was Sigried. Y'know, prince!Mytho)

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Oh! You mean brain!Mytho? Kekekeke. Mine is an evil laugh. Somehow I love to tease that character.

[xaynie.livejournal.com]

I can't decide between these 2 so I'm presenting both and allowing you to choose 1 to draw for me as my request (I hope that makes sense). Here are the 2 concepts:

1) Kamina [Gurren Lagaan] - shirtless with glasses doing anything stupid like chasing after a big grizzly bear and wanting to "take it over"

2) Iku x Dojo [Library Wars] - kissing / being cute in a field of camomille flowers, their hair and clothing billowing in the wind

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

....I have to choose between that!? Damn you. Both too frickin' cute. ...I'll figure it out once I start drawing.

#1 would so require "What Would Kamina Do?" written across the top.

[shibamura-prime.livejournal.com]

Need I say it? PRIMA.

Being all happy and/or badass would be keen. Think of Abby when you draw her. I always do. ^_~

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Haha. You have to say, just so I know for certain you want one of my messy lil' sketches. ^_~
Oh wow. I haven't drawn Prima in ages...

[rebelcoyote13.livejournal.com]

*raises hand very meekly*

I assume Avatar TLA: stands for last airbender. In which case I request this...

Request: Sokka and Toph
Prompt: Sokka. Toph. Eyebrow waggle.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Haha. Naturally.
...that prompt makes me giggle. Evil woman.

[cutie-aoide.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I don't really expect you to do this request. I just like filling this out and I haven't commented on your journal in a while. :3

Fandom: FFVII
Characters: Cloud and Tifa
Prompt: Tifa calling Cloud a dork and bandaging his leg (or rest of body) after playing with the orphans on whether or not moogles are real (like a moogle hunt). Unfortunately He and the children get in a scuffle with a chocobo nest and it's momma, so now they all have bruises!

If you do this, yay! But if not, that's ok. I can't wait to see your other requests!

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Haha. We have seriously got to work on your habit of making overly-complicated requests. :D I shortened it down to something more resonable on the request list.

(Don't forget, if I get a bunch of requests, I'll be bumping the ones who just recieved one from the Friending Meme. But right now, yours is on the list.)

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Well... It's been a very very long time since I tried drawing Utena, but I should be able to do it. Evil tea party sounds like a really fun prompt. Those mysterious purple-haired anime folk. :D

[tomoyoichijouji.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE kthx

...I was totally tempted to request something LOLZY about Kamina, but I realized I didn't have a prompt really. And I just had to request a cool crossover. So I guess I'll forgo the lolz and request something kinda interesting (and cool?) instead:

"As Prince Siegfried and Utena said goodbye, they clasped their hands in fellowship. Mytho said, 'I know that a fallen prince told you that a young woman like you couldn't be a prince. But I believe you truly have the heart of one.'"

I think those two might have a great camaraderie. ^_^ (I'm meaning Siegfried!Mytho in particular btw; I suppose Utena in her school uniform? or maybe an interpretation of what she might wear outside of the school?)

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Haha! Welcome to the party! How did you find out? (I was gonna pimp this at the PTT comm, but I didn't want to interfere with serika_san's sketch event.)

Haha. I've never drawn Kamina, but he should be fun... I think. He does have one request up on the board at least.

I can totally see Utena and Siggy being buddies! That's a faboo idea! I look forward to playing with it!

[coppeliad.livejournal.com]

I vote for a PTT role reversal: Fakir as a duck and Ahiru as a knight!

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Cool idea.
Haven't seen it drawn with Ahiru as a knight before. Seen plenty of duck!Fakirs though. ^_^

Sketch Request

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, I'm shirekat on deviantart! I'm so glad you're doing sketch requests!
So... if you would be ever-so-kind, could you perhaps do something PT? Something funny/silly please, with Fakir/Ahiru pairing, and (if you think it fits), throw Autor into the joke.
Oh, and please include some awkwardness on Fakir and/or Ahiru's part ('cause that's what makes them so cute).
Pretty please?
:3

<3 ~ Kat

Re: Sketch Request

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Hi ShireKat!

I'll see what I can come up with for a Fakir/Ahiru silly piece. But sorry, no Autor though. The request rules limit it as a two character maximum.

[auriga]

Well, since there's still free spaces...^__^

How about Gourry and Pokota from Slayers? Prompt..."Sword of Light"! Why no I didn't go to capslockslayers for ideas, really. <<

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

LAWL. Capslock.
Haha. I ♥ you.

[tsutsuji.livejournal.com]

Since you just drew such lovely Xelloss & Zel art for me over at the Slayers friending meme, I'll understand if this gets bumped out by another request. You mentioned Chrno Crusade, though, so I couldn't resist asking if you might be able to do Chrno (young version preferably) ... asleep or lying on the grass with his hair loose? Or... something like that.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Aww. That'd be cute. The last CC I drew was this, so that should be fun.

[slai.livejournal.com]

Hi Becky,

I would request one, but I'm so clueless at the moment on what to request X(!

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

That's okay. Amazingly, the list is almost full now. Shocker, huh?

[pyro-ike.livejournal.com]

"We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

How about something with older Simon from TTGL? (That is, Garlock!Simon rather than Hobo!Simon.) I know the quote is Firefly, but it just fits! Perfectly! It needs to be.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Sounds fun. I'll definitely be challenged to think of something that fits the prompt. I haven't finished the series yet though, what do you mean by "Garlock!Simon rather than Hobo!Simon"?

[akogarezephyr.livejournal.com]

Hmm can you guess who I am? *giggle* But before I say anything I want to make sure if you wouldn't mind doing me a wee sketch. c;

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Akogare! *glomps* Of course I wouldn't mind! What do you want?

[jadet-chan.livejournal.com]

Sousuke & Chidori [Full Metal Panic] Promt: They're reading/studying and Sousuke has dozed off. Maybe Chidori looking over at him bemused/fondly? Thanks! ^_^

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Gotcha.

[selphish.livejournal.com]

Another Full Metal Panic request!

Prompt: Halloween.

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

Will do! (Thanks for making a request!)

Where?

[tomoyoichijouji.livejournal.com]

I want to know where I should be looking out for above requests. Will they be posted on non-locked posts on your LJ, or will they only be on DA, etc. etc.? Thanks! ^_^

Re: Where?

[elfgrove.livejournal.com]

They'll be posted both on my DA and in non-locked LJ posts here. As soon as I have yours done, I will also reply to your comment here with the image. I should've explained that, huh? (Don't worry, you won't miss getting it.)

Sorry about the wait. Work's been eating my soul the last two weeks.
