✦ Safe Fantasy Request Examples ✦
These are wonderful ways to let your familiar roam freely…
🌟 Genshin-Inspired
- “My cat as a Genshin-style catalyst mage”
- “My fox familiar as a wind-element adventurer exploring a mystical archipelago”
📜 Fairy Tale & Folklore (Public Domain)
- “My dog as a fairy-tale guardian from a Grimm-inspired forest”
- “My cat as a librarian mage in an Alice-in-Wonderland style library”
- “My owl as a messenger perched on a Bremen Town Musicians–inspired tower”
- “My rabbit familiar exploring a forest filled with creatures from Aesop’s Fables”
🐾 Original & Genre Inspired
- A cat familiar as a wizard, alchemist, or hedge witch
- A dog companion as a brave knight, ranger, or quest guide
- A fox, raven, owl, or crow acting as a spirit guide
- A familiar inside a cozy RPG-style village, fantasy tavern, or magical cottage
- Tabletop-inspired scenes with maps, dice, potions, spellbooks, and candles
- Whimsical cartoon-style worlds with original characters only
Rather than copying existing worlds, these illustrations capture the feeling of adventure — filtered through magic, imagination, and your familiar’s personality.
✦ Requests I’m Unable to Accept ✦
To keep both the magic and the mundane in harmony… I cannot create artwork that includes:
- Direct recreations of copyrighted characters
- Trademarked costumes, logos, or branded items
- Scenes copied from specific movies, games, or shows (unless specifically permitted, like Genshin Impact fan-art guidelines)
When something isn’t allowed, I’ll always suggest a safe alternative that still captures the spirit of your idea.
🎮 Games & Game-Style Worlds (Public Domain–Safe Concepts)
While most modern games are copyrighted, these styles and mechanics are not:
- Medieval fantasy RPG worlds
- Tabletop-inspired adventures (dice, maps, potions, quests)
- Cozy village games with animal villagers
- Dungeon-crawling with animal companions
- Cottagecore, fairy forests, enchanted inns
✧ Important Magickal & Mundane Notes
This option is available only for:
- Public domain worlds and characters
- Games, shows, or stories from companies that openly allow the sale of fan-made artwork
I do not recreate copyrighted characters, logos, or scenes for properties that do not permit fan art sales. When in doubt, I’ll help you determine what’s safe and suitable.
