This year for the Project for Awesome, a bunch of creative Tumblr people including myself are offering to do requests for art, writing, or songs in exchange for pledges to donate to the P4A. A few of us did this last year and it was a really popular idea! The people participating are listed below along with what types of requests they are taking.
To submit a request, send them a message like “I’ll donate $10 to the P4A if you draw a puppy-sized elephant eating pizza” with any amount of money and whatever you’re requesting. If they post what you requested, then you donate. I’ll be tagging my request posts with #P4A Requests and I encourage the other posters to do the same.
Mostly visual art:
Lovely Nerdy Things
I’d take requests for fanart/drawings/quote art/pun art for any fandom or nerdfighteria! More sample art
Ginz/Mayela
I’m taking requests for digital art drawings. 1 or 2 characters, props are fine, but no backgrounds. I encourage people to browse through my art tumblr to get a better sense of my art style if they want!
the Complete Fiction
I post some visual art (mostly digital). I’ll do pretty much any type of art, especially anything nerdfighteria-themed. I’m completely fine with gore, but would rather nothing NSFW. I’m best at single drawings, but if anyone is interested in seeing a short comic then I’ll give it a shot.
Ivy, What is my legacy? My art they don’t see?
I’m willing to take line art and flat color request for female characters from the waist up. I’m Also willing to take short stories(300+ words) and drabble (under 300 words) request. I’d rather not do it with cannon characters unless I’m given a description of their appearance and their attitude/ the way they behave. I’m willing to take request the 9th to the 11th.
Alicia, turnabout owl
simple drawings/comics; I’ll mostly be taking requests for Nerdfighter-themed drawings/short comics until Sunday, but I’m open to requests from other fandoms as long as it’s sfw and not overly complicated/detailed.
Julien, …so we do them anyway
I can do fanart for any cartoon, stylistic postcard fronts, calligraphy banners (10 characters or less), or a short fic (~300 words) for Steven Universe, Undertale, Hamilton, Harry Potter, Les Mis, Into the Woods. I will not do NSFW.
Riddhi Doodles
Ryan S. Thomason
I’m a calligrapher, and I’d be happy to take any not-anon requests of four words or less - usernames and short sayings, that kind of thing. Etsy shop
Chelsea
I can be available to do physical drawings up until Sunday the 11th.
Zoosemiotics
I can do animal /creature art, original characters, nerdfighter themed drawings, drawings of your pets (with clear photo refs provided), coloring book pages… and more, just ask. Please no NSFW requests. I’ll do my best to complete your request in a timely matter, but please know it make take me time to get it done. My style varies, please check out my tumblr if you want to get an idea of the kind of styles you might get.
Katie
Any quotes that do not have profanity in them, nerdy quotes preferred but are not necessary. All quotes will also be added to my store as posters, and all proceeds from there will be donated to the P4A. More details in this post
GildedFish
I am willing to do both traditional and digital drawings. The bigger the donation the bigger and more detailed your drawing will be. I work best when drawing animals but I am happy to draw people as well. Fan art, OC’s (with examples), and original art is welcome. If you would like an icon or blog a banner, feel free to ask.
Writing & music:
Hillary
I can take requests for Harry Potter or Star Wars fanfiction all P4A.
Hipsterratic
@hipsterratic will make a song over literally anything you send him. Recorded with acoustic guitar.
Meig, A Dinosaur A Day
Basically what I did last year and what I’ll do this year is that I’ll write articles about the animals of someone’s choosing. I keep ADAD to dinosaurs only (so descendants of the most recent common ancestor of Megalosaurus & Iguanodon, which includes birds); but for P4A I offer to do entries about any organism someone might choose - such as other extinct animals (pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, et cetera) or animals alive today which aren’t birds (like mammals, other reptiles, et cetera).
If you would like examples of the articles I write, here are some recent ones that I am quite proud of: link link link
And some of the ones I did for last year’s P4A on Non-Dinosaurs (as you can see my writing has improved over the year): link link link
Thanks, everyone! Please share the heck out of this post! The more attention we get, the more money we can raise.
If you get a request fulfilled, please remember to donate!
