Fanart prompts: not skinny youngish white people

[sqbr]

PROMPTS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

The last time I asked for fanart prompts I came to the horrible realisation that I had no idea how to shade dark skin and went on a quest to draw more dark skinned characters until I got better.

That worked out pretty well, but there's still lots of other holes in my repertoire (I can't get my own body shape right, for example). Beyond the fact this limits me as an Artist, it also contributes to the invisibility of those outside the "default". Fans of these sorts of characters are pretty neglected fanart-wise!

So, I'm looking for prompts for fanart featuring characters who are as many as possible of:

• darker skinned
  
• have non-stereotypically european features like epicanthal folds or an afro
  
• overweight
  
• under 16 or over 40 (ish)
  
• visibly disabled or scarred etc.
  
• Otherwise outside the physical norm for (fan)art in a realistic way (no centaurs :P(*))
  

Did I miss anything? Visual fandoms (movies/tv/comics etc) only please, since I am going to need the reference pics not to screw up completely. I'm also trying to get the hang of non-G rated/gen stuff, but nothing above PG please. Nothing too squicky. NO ZOMBIES. EDIT: Some fandoms I'm familiar with, but I'm willing to try something I'm not. EDIT: I don't want suggestions of characters, I want particular images you'd like to see, eg this queerlygen prompt, Saving Face: Wil - babysitting/looking after her sister.

Having just watched "Sleeping Beauty" for the first time I am definitely going to have to try and think of something with Merryweather :)

If any other fanartists see this and are inspired by the prompts or general idea that's all to the good! My tablet is acting up, so I will probably be REALLY slow, and don't guarantee I'll get around to them all.

(*)Unless they are also outside the norm in a realistic way. It might also be fun and educational to do prompts for characters with unrealistically unusual appearances (Wings! Green skin! Tentacles!), but this is not that post.

EDIT: Completed prompts

• House: Young Foreman
  
• SGA: Ronon in a suit
  
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Kendra stakes a vampire (drawn while my tablet was broken)
  
• Stargate SG1: Teal'c and Bra'tac and Teal'c and Drey'auc having a relaxing holiday where no-one is trying to kill anyone else (I somehow read it as the first when it should have been the latter)
  
• Harry Potter: Cho is a wizarding lawyer
  
• Avatar the last Airbender: Zuko juggling fireballs
  
• Reliquary: Alcolla, Yakuv, and Hakelda having pizza
  
• Supernatural: Portrait of John Winchester
  
• Avatar the Last Airbender: Toph and Teo, Iroh and Zuko, bonus Mai. This show was designed for this challenge :)
  
• Grey's Anatomy: Miranda Bailey
  
• Friday Night Lights: Jason coaching Smash
  
• The Outsiders (DC comics): Thunder and Grace Choi, being all couple-y
  
• Discworld: Granny Weatherwax and a Nac Mac Feegle
  
• Saving Face: Wil - babysitting/looking after her sister (Yes, I got there in the end :))

Zuko! back when he was young, angry and had the ponytail.

[sqbr]

Doing what? Being angry? :)

[ex_pippin880]

Scar and Mei Chan from FMA
Jet & Ed from Cowboy Bebop
Tousen from Bleach
Nygus and Sid from Soul Eater (and Excalibur :p)

[samvara]

Showing off - juggling fireballs?

[sqbr]

Ooh. That sounds like fun to draw :)

[ex_pippin880]

Noser from Middleman
Jonas Jnr from Venture Bros
Hakoda and Bato and Iroh and Teo (yes that is a flying wheelchair) from Avatar
Wade from Kim Possible

[sqbr]

I don't just want character ideas, I want specific prompts: what would you like to see these characters doing?

[ex_pippin880]

Oh jeez, I dunno. Sailing down the Mississippi? Whatever characters normally do in fanart idk?

[yiduiqie]

Teyla from SGA...on the subject of SG, Camile Wray from SGU (omg MING NA).

Also my favourite, Cho (from HP) and Jubilee (from X-Men).

[yvi]

Kendra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer staking someone/thing?

[bunny_m]

Noser from Middleman

Performing on stage with Young Noser! =)

And while I'm on the topic of The Middleman, how about some art of Wendy and Ida snarking at each other?

[sqbr]

What would you like them to be doing?

[aris_tgd]

Oooh, um, Babylon 5, Dr. Franklin that time he was in a wheelchair after he got stabbed, being pushed by Marcus. Looking annoyed at the fact that it's an INCREDIBLY chipper Marcus pushing him around.

And PotC, Tia Dalma/Calypso kissing Davy Jones (either in squiddy form or not)

[yiduiqie]

I think Teyla and Camile could be chilling (I know they're unlikely to meet, but it's an AU!) Cho is a wizarding lawyer, and Jubilee is in battle, with lightening coming out of her hands.

Can I ask for Foreman (House MD) fanart? The actor fits only one or two of your points, but it's canon that he was overweight as a child, so I'm asking for a childhood scene. He has a brother (whom I thought was younger, but wiki is not helping me), with whom he's distanced now, so I would like to see them playing together. :D

(Er, free feel to ignore if the prompt is not fun or something!)

ETA: deleted and reposted for poor phrasing. I'm sorry.

[furikku.livejournal.com]

Is it acceptable to ask for one's own characters? >_>

Grey's Anatomy request

[kake]

Miranda Bailey from Grey's Anatomy only fits two of your specific points (darker skin, would be classified as at least "overweight", question-begging as that term is), but she is also short (5'/1.52m according to IMDB), which I reckon is a suitable third point.

One of my favourite scenes of hers was a very brief one quite early in the series, when she's on her way out from work dressed up to meet her husband on their wedding anniversary, and she stops for a moment to talk to Derek Shepherd. I think it's the first time we see her not wearing scrubs, and she looks gorgeous. It's such a short scene but it's a big leap in her character development — prior to this we'd only been shown her very focused and stern work personality.

So, I would like to see Miranda Bailey out on a date with her husband Tucker (6'5"/1.96m according to IMDB). Up to you if the scene is dancing or chatting over a meal or whatever. Let me know if you'd like me to hunt through and get you some stills of the scene I mentioned above.

[sqbr]

That does sound like fun, even if I can't rely much on reference pics of adult Foreman :)

[sqbr]

Sure (Though the same "I can't guarantee I'll get around to drawing them" disclaimer applies)

Re: Grey's Anatomy request

[sqbr]

Stills would definitely be helpful, because I've only seen the first episode of Grey's.

Sensei Ping and one of the Lucha Libre, El Comelon maybe, playing chess.

[(Anonymous)]

The actor who played El Comelon: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1638013/

I can't find good stills of him in the Lucha Libre outfit (in two not much of searching...)

You did such an awesome job of Dick Grayson - Batman...

I am having the worst laptop day ever. My post has been deleted twice so I am not adding links.

The Outsiders. Thunder and Grace Choi, being all couple-y in a nice sweet kinda way (rather than a very little clothing kinda way).

Um, I have no idea what comics these guys fall under, but its the Arrow family. Lian Harper (daughter of Roy Harper (Red Arrow) and Cheshire) being babysat by Connor Hawke (Green Arrow II and Roy's brother basically). Lian should be really happy, Connor looking really nervous, and not being bleached for a change.

Er, any questions, ask, I'm not going to push my luck...

[gretel]

Also I realise these dudes aren't part of your fandom, but Judd Winick writing and dodgy colourists aside, they're awesome, so you should. :)

[emma_in_dream]

Any of the Vorkosigans really.

John Winchester.

Yoda.
