The time machine is broken

[dhampyresa]

On the whole, 2016 has not been great. Aside from a few things, 2016 has been horrible to me from the start (and earlier if one counts the Roomate From Hell).

But anyway, *hugs* to anyone who wants them.

I'll make the offer here, for anyone and everyone: Give me a prompt of some sort (even just a character!) and I'll do my best to write you a thing. Or art you a thing, if you prefer.

I would love a sketch or ficlet thing of whoever your favorite character is from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It's been a day. :]

And thank you so much for the *hugs*.

Hanno the Navigator.

Thank you.

[primeideal]

Thanks. Hugs back at you if desired.

I'm looking for something to make me laugh, so Backstroke of the West, please?

[hokuton_punch]

*hugs* I appreciate you so much right now.

... Radu/Mehmet, fluff?

[dhampyresa]

I am working on this, fyi.

<3

[yhlee]

It's all good! I know these things take time. I got your prompt, but I have to get some work done before I can get to it. <3

[dhampyresa]

Sure! Just let me do some research first.

[dhampyresa]

Thank you.

No problem -- but what do you want with Backstroke of the West, fic, art...?

[dhampyresa]

Radu/Mehmet, fluff?

Make my life difficult, why don't you. ♥

Fic or art?

[primeideal]

Fic please?

[hokuton_punch]

Whichever you like! (Art might be especially nice, though...)

[dhampyresa]

There you go! My thought process went "Rey's my favourite" -> "You know what else Yoon likes? Foxes!" -> "Draw Rey and a fox and the desert!" -> "You know what else has foxes and deserts? The Little Prince" -> *imitate Little Prince style*

[yhlee]

That's so gorgeous, and the perfect crossover. Thank you so much. :D

The Little Prince is one of my favorite books. :D

[rootsofthestories]

Give me art or fic set in a liminal space of some kind.,

There were new stars in the sky.

Oh, Hanno had told his sailors there were not but there were. Right above the horizon there were stars he'd never seen before, stars unseen by any men of Carthage.

He'd dreamed of this ever since he'd been a child, growing up on the edge of dunes, and the men in blue had first mentioned new skies on the other side of the desert.

New stars, new sands.

There was something reassuring about the same sky and the silver disk of Tanith, high in the night in her majesty, above all the world.

That's lovely.

SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS STILL A WIP, but right now it looks like this.

For some reason finding references for intimate clothing of the 15th century Ottoman Empire was not possible. Just take some selfies, dudes!

[hokuton_punch]

IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL I AM SO HAPPY, THE ICON IS A LIE ♥ ♥ ♥ (NO WORRIES, I completely understand the difficulties of finding good resources for these guys! Of like, every sort. If I knew Turkish or Romanian it might be easier...)

[dhampyresa]

I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HAPPY! Admittedly Vlad would Not Approve, hahaha. (I know, right?! I'm having to improvise with the clothing and the interior architecture and basically everything. They can have tea, right? That was a thing the Ottomans did, right? RIGHT?)

[dhampyresa]

Are you okay with Star Wars? I sketched out a Rey, but I figured I'd ask. EDIT: It's not very clear from the sketch, but it's meant to be Art Deco-esque.

[dhampyresa]

ANOTHER UPDATE!



I'm almost finished with the lineart. I'll start the colouring (pastels) next week. I'm hoping I can finish it next Friday, before the studio closes for two weeks (school holidays).

[hokuton_punch]

NOOOOOOOOOO THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm terrifically excited, good luck with the coloring!

[rootsofthestories]

I do not know Star Wars but I am okay with the art nonetheless. :D It is very, very cool.

[dhampyresa]

D: I just realised I showed you a terrible, low-contrast sketch. Sorry!

If you'd rather I went with a different fandom, don't hesitate to say.

[rootsofthestories]

It's totally fine. One f the things I love is seeing what fandoms people are super into and watching them create things for it. I don't know why, it's just a thing.

[dhampyresa]

I understand, but I also want to make you something you'll like.

You were talking about Tarot for low-vision people earlier, if you could expand on what that meant (for you), I could make you a card?

[rootsofthestories]

The cards are all labeled in clear, large font. The art is not too cluttered and the colors are either light images on dark backgrounds or have very clear lines.

Uhm....I'm sure there are other things but my brain is not giving them to me right now.

[dhampyresa]

I can do that. Any specific card you want?

[rootsofthestories]

Death, the Magician, the Star or the Moon would b awesome. Take your pick and surprise me!

[dhampyresa]

Sorry for the hackjob, but I could get the pictures to come out okay on both sides at the same time. I think it needs a few touch-ups, so I left it at the studio over the vacation, but aside from that it's basically done.

[hokuton_punch]

THEY ARE SO LOVELY, GOODNESS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ♥ ♥ ♥ I JUST LOVE HOW COZY THEY LOOK TOGETHER

[dhampyresa]

Quick check: dark figures/silhouettes on light background okay?

[rootsofthestories]

That should definitely be okay

[dhampyresa]

Awesome. Thanks for answering.
