Hello Tumblr fam! I need your recommendations for ikemen fan artists. I have 2 pictures I want to commission and I haven't worked with an artist in 2+ years. I'm doing some poking around to see what I can find but if you know someone who does good work and is reliable, let me know 😊
***Update 2***
I am so grateful for all of the recommendations and responses! This is so much more than I expected, and that is just AWESOME!
I've reached out to the artists that I think have a style best matching what I am looking for. There were so many fantastic visual artists and creators that reached out or were recommended that I honestly wish I could get something from each. If you didn't hear from me, don't worry - I will keep you in mind for future projects! Thank you so much for your time and attention, and for just being awesome!
I like these pens. They’re pretty good. Do you have any recommendations for others of this type. I’m not looking for fountain pens or Cross type pens. I’m looking for a good everyday work pen that is good for taking notes.
Hi! If you see this, please look back through my posts (reblogging anything that fits your aesthetic) and then recommend a Tumblr account or two that I should follow based on my interests.
The question is, what characters should this blog feature for RPs. And the only real, proper, true answer is ‘what do I want to write’. Unfortunately, this answer goes from ‘everyone’ to ‘nothing at all’ to ‘here’s a rotating notated list ordered in vague priorities and impulses, which also changes in the space between infinities’.
So it’s probably a good idea to gather some feedback. As I said in my intro post, the six fandoms I definitely know I’d dig getting into are, in no particular order of importance: Madokas, Dangans, Kantais, Touhous, Katawas, and Personae. It can be safely said that you can request characters from any of those for RPs and it would be strongly considered, although there’s a lot of other potentials as well.
As for things I’m pondering on my own, again in no particular order.
Byakuren from Touhou, because she’s a perfect beautiful saint of peace and also her body is unreasonable. She’s fluffy, soft, strong, can suplex a freight train, and leads a temple as a spiritual leader because doing otherwise would make her less perf.
Seaport Hime from Kantai Collection has already been requested once, and uh. In general, she’s pretty great in a game full of great characters I want to lift and use. Big, strong, but introverted and sharp with outsiders.
Shizune from Katawa Shoujo is a misunderstood perfect angel. Or at least, she deserves better than she got, and I love her, so well. Write what you love.
Hamuko/Minako (fem protagonist) from Persona 3 was always one of my personal favorites ever, she’s got a great style and attitude, a strong character, and all around, there’s a reason she’s incredibly popular to RP. I can’t deny the call.
Additionally, from other sources...
Tifa from Final Fantasy. Come on. Like, she’s one of the cornerstones of video gaming in general, as well as of one of the biggest series in all of gaming. A powerful bruiser who punches gigantic war machines of death, to death. With her metal fists. And is also a loving, nurturing personality, with deep inner kindness and strength. Literally perf.
Samus from Metroid. Again, this is another, like. She’s the strongest, most beautiful bounty-hunter, has single-handedly destroyed whole planets and species, and is badass. Like, above the normal level of fictional badass, in another special stratosphere of it.
*Hyun-ae and *Mute from Hate Plus never get enough attention, it’s such a niche thing, but I love them and they’re great. A small blonde firebrand with Conservative Upbringing and a loose tongue, and a black-haired aspiring engineer whose hope for the future was, uh, well, she’s rescued now so hey. And of course it would be both, because screw the rules, protect korean AI trauma software brides.
Yang Wen-li from Legend of the Galactic Heroes is literally the best, especially if I do end up RPing with Kancolle blogs or something, just. He singlehandedly gave me a preference for the dark, dour, sit-on-the-table-and-brood-about-the-world type of leadership character. He’s more cheerful than that sounds, and one of the most brilliant admirals in any fictional work.
Also, the Vocaloids. Many of them. I did a Vocaloid thing in the past which involved, like, a setting where they were Chobits-style androids you ordered, and so people who wanted to RP would fill out an ‘order form’ of preferences, changes, alterations, etc. So even for the same character, the experience was always different, and the active involvement and upfront ‘this is what I like best’ really made it good. Plus the Vocaloids are just themselves good.
I’m going to have some fun, and I’m going to give you some titles of the TV series that I have been watching. Then I have a question for you: after seeing the series I have been watching, what other shows would you recommend that I watch?
If you had to pick a cover for wordstrings, what would you choose? Preferably something that can be pulled off google images, or wouldn't be too hard to sketch up.
