Hello!
Glad we matched.
Treats are always welcome (as long as you avoid my DNWs, of course), and I love both fanart and fanfic.

Art:

I like bold choices and colours, cartoon/comic style is A-OK, manga/anime as well, more realistic is appreciated. I love seeing differences in body types, metaphors and symbols.
I like quiet moments and giving characters a place to breathe. Nothing wrong with environmental storytelling when you push the character to the periphery, or only show a detail or two. I like stylised art styles, and old movie posters. My favourite traditional artist is Alphonse Mucha and traditional Japanese woodblock art, if you want to get inspired by the old stuff. I enjoy minimalism as well as detailed pieces. Pin up is great! Redraws of famous pieces is good!
Art DNW: Explicit art. I don't particularly enjoy abstract art and art made from literal rubbish or scraps. Heavy body horror (wounds, injuries OK). Chibi.

 

Other mediums:

Ok with almost everything, such as AMV, comic, podfic, interactive, games.
Other mediums DNW: Please no social media or message fics and similar.
