December 2024 Fanart Vote - Voting!

Suprise!

As explained to the InsidAers, the Fanart Votes came to an end a few years ago since I got pretty burnt out on them, but these days I've been struggling to find new characters to draw that aren't just my old 90s/00s childhood crushes. So why not let you guys decide? :D

I won't commit to doing these monthly or anything - it's not currently one of the promised perks of pledging, this is just a "hey, why not?" improv round. We'll see how it goes!

Below, and attached, you will find the full submission details and suggested scenarios. Note that these are just inspirational starting points - I may very well go in a different direction for the winner, but it's at least nice to not be going in completely blind. Given the month, I might do something a little more festive, or I might not!

B.Jenet (Fatal Fury/KOF)
"I'll submit B. Jenet from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters, particularly her new look from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
I can see her being forced to walk the plank while tied up and gagged or having been captured just as she discovered a treasure hoard.

Baldr (Fire Emblem Heroes)
"Baldr from Fire emblem heroes
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/e/e5/Baldr_Heroes.png/revision/latest?cb=20241205213834
Since she seems to be fitting the role of the prosecutor in this sham of a court case our protagonist finds themselves in, mayhaps she gets puts in her place for being so cavalier in her attempts to apprehend us (she fights us when we weren't keen on going to a new realm for judgment)
Or
And it just hit me So her current gimmick is that she can't be harmed since she made a pact with the 9 realms to never be harmed . So we need to find a way to neutralize it
And I'm sure Anna, our faithful commander, not only found a way but also a way to help kind the coffers of the Order of Heroes"

Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) (DC Comics)
"I'd like to suggest Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) from DC Comics.
Main Appearance: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ya3zygktqmxjfcoedrjsm/Batgirl02.jpg?rlkey=3oak86clbm6om48wv36mt44k0&dl=0
Additional Refs: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lidgvlarybr328p9nz603/Batgirl_StephLook.jpg?rlkey=ddtij6jro4bp76tgexvuap6ku&dl=0
It could be fun to have someone like Ivy or Harley getting her wrapped up and suspended in as a kinky holiday decoration in Gotham, or on a heist-interruption gone wrong. With plenty of pluck and sass, she could easily find herself in a situation that's playfully willing (with the right people) or where she's a wriggly, defiant Batgirl trying to work her way out of whatever's binding her (which better be secure to keep her)!"

Catwoman (Batman: Caped Crusader)
"Catwoman from Batman caped crusader
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/batman-caped-crusader/images/7/74/Selina_Kyle.png/revision/latest?cb=20240801171120
She is invited to a private party by the penguin, when she arrives she is exited for all the jewelry that she will steal but what she doesn’t know is that it was a setup. She is quickly tied and gagged(ball gag and arm binder) and when she is taken to stage where she realizes that it isn’t a private party but instead a auction and she is the main event"

Darkness (Konosuba)
"I'm gonna throw in Darknessu (Konosuba)
She does have a winter outfit, but it's a little bulky & not really christmasy, so I'll say instead, having her be properly mummified in giftwrapping &/or stuffed into a giftbox. Scenario could be an infiltration mission she obviously volunteered for or something, really anything goes with her!^^

Gebura (Lobotomy Corporation)
"I submit Gebura from Lobotomy Corporation for nomination
There is not nearly enough LobCorp DiD out there for my taste and I will be drawing her myself soon enough

Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusho)
"Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho
Primary:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_small/9/99927/1931228-n19.jpg
Though Genkai has been mainly portrayed in her elderly form, she has shown her younger self in flashbacks and when she uses her special spiritual power. She has a very traditional home and land that covers a great distance, so there are plenty of places to hide or explore her many interests. She even plays video games, and beats the main protagonist when they play together. So my idea is in her younger years, when she had to escape from any kind of capture she found herself in, she would routinely practice escape training. Toguro being her best friend and partner in battle, would tie her up so tightly that it could cut her clothes if she struggled too hard. While he was off training himself, she would have to escape before he came back for her. Tied up in a shibari chest harness and suspension, hogtied so escape is nearly impossible. She and him would often train in crazy scenarios, so training in the winter as the snow falls makes more sense than on a regular sunny day."

Karlach (Baldur's Gate 3)
"Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3

She's a toughie, so overkill on the bondage, and probably something heat resistant or fire retardant like magic tape or liquid latex. She and Shadowheart often flirt too, so she could be done as a gift for her."

Lumine (Genshin Impact)
"Lumine from Genshin Impact
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hk2e6tsie3jid9cxokx8z/Character_Traveler_-Lumine-_Portrait.png?rlkey=0cxf03ylma9ps64dk48et1q5w&st=ukmo0lgi&dl=0
Heres a link with a sub outfit design and dom outfit design that I've gotten for Lumine:

If you go with Dom Lumine. Perhaps she's getting dressed and expecting someone to come home soon. Perhaps she's already dressed and tapping her crop against her palm as she's welcoming them home. I would say maybe Ayaka or Keqing. =v=;;
If you go Sub Lumine, could go with the sub outfit or just do her regular outfit with an arm and leg binder suspending her in a House of Gord setup with a nice OTN or Muzzle gag. =v= Or she is tied in a nice shibari style looking off camera at her SO who tied her up. I think if you went rope or armbinders with that one, a OTN would be more appropriate."

Supergirl (DC Animated)
"Supergirl from dc animated series
https://www.deviantart.com/alexbadass/art/Superman-TAS-Supergirl-Kara-In-Ze-557888985
Supergirl losed the battle against Unity. She kneeled on the ground and was tied up with plenty of white tentacles(https://youtu.be/HE3IiJNnkWg?feature=shared). The tentacles tried to irrupt into her throat to parasitize her. She struggled hard but couldn't get rid of them. It seems a despair moment for her."

Seiko (Dandadan)
"I think Seiko from Dandadan would look fantastic in your style. (Her outfit with the shorts in ref 2 I think works best)
Primary Ref: https://imgur.com/QhJMLuJ
Accessory References: https://imgur.com/QDpTCt1 and https://imgur.com/J1iW349
Seiko is an exorcist who fights evil spirits by drawing barriers. If she draws a circle (usually done with her bat on the ground) she can trap things caught within said circle, or repel things trying to enter it.
She is very snarky, easygoing, has big Wine Aunt energy, but her intuition is sharp when it comes to matters of spirits, and she has made a great number of enemies of the local yokai.
I think her barrier-entrapment fighting style lends itself really nicely to some bondagey turnabout, where a begrudging captor wants HER to know what it's like being crammed in a tight space unable to talk or move. This could manifest as some good heavy storage / shipping container style bondage, or maybe she's found herself at the mercy of a powerful shibari yokai? If we're in the mood for a crossover, maybe she's mistaken Jaz for said yokai and is being restrained for everyone's safety?

Zatanna (DC Animated)
"Zatanna from DC animated
https://www.deviantart.com/mrtoonlover83/art/Zatanna-Zatara-DCAU-vector-3-917352860
Zatanna was planning on performing for a Christmas party but she didn’t realize the host would be Harley Quinn. Now she’s looks like a Jack in the box forced to standing inside an open present 🎁 while she is bound and gagged with oversized red ribbons (reference to how Lois Lane was tied up in Batman/Superman movie). Looks like the party’s just getting started."

You can vote for as many characters as you want, and voting will run for about 5 days, til 2am GMT Wed 18th (that'll be more like Tuesday evening for western, USA/Canada/etc based friends!).

P.S. By the way, please note that my SubStar will also have a vote going, so please don't get too caught up in vote wars here, as there may be surprise upsets - the character who wins the vote on this site might still lose once I tally all the votes from both sites. I know that'd suck, but it might happen! :p
