My style is probably not what you’re looking for, and I see this is really about you wanting to be able to draw. But I’ve been coming back to painting now that I’ve got a tablet and had time to play with digital art. Do you have something you want me to try? I start teaching again next week, so I certainly couldn’t give you any timeline or even say it would happen in a timely manner.

I replied:

Oh wow, thanks! There are so many things rolling around my head that I’ll have to think for a bit, but that is super nice, whatever the timeline.

[Later addition on Jan 11th:]

It's probably pretty predictable, but my suggestion/request would be Faramir in Byzantine!Gondor dress (but with the canon long black hair!)

colorwheels14 replied on the same day:

Excellent! I'll let you know when I get something done that I'm happy with. :D

I responded:

Thank you very, very much!

colorwheels14 replied:

You're welcome, I've been thinking, and I have ideas! But I also have a question-- do you associate any colors with Gondor/Faramir? It's been a while since I read the books and need to do it again. Also, warning: I teach art history (esp. medieval!), so Byzantine for me brings to mind lots of mosaics, icons, and textiles. ;)

[The rest of the conversation took place over PMs and email.]

I'm kind of stunned that someone I don't even know made me a moodboard for the Lucy fics. Well, for Lucy herself (!!). 

The Lucyverse is not always my best work and is certainly not my most popular (the most-kudos'd of the fics doesn't even crack the first page of my fics on AO3), but it is one of the dearest to me of everything I've written, so it's all the more gratifying that it's for that. And pretty perfect for her, esp come ROTJ (which the series is closing in on as of the most recent chapter and my outline). And it's a genuinely nice one, and ... such a nice thing to do? I'm just really touched.
