Museum of the Marquise

This page is for me to talk about aesthetics and character designs that I like! There's some overlap between the two admittedly, but maybe that's a given, lol.

Aesthetics That Appeal To Me

This covers things that I like looking at mostly. From beautiful art to moodboards, also things like looped animations and stimboards!

  • Ocean/water
  • The Moon
  • Space
  • Landscapes in general, but especially plains and forests to be honest.
  • Circuit boards, and technology in general, though computers in particular are always neat to look at/learn more about for me
  • Solarpunk
  • Post Cyberpunk
  • Magitech, i.e. combining magic and technology in the same setting
  • Halloween
  • Witchcraft
  • Glitchy stuff: Though preferably nothing too hard on the eyes!
  • Cityscapes
  • Flowers
  • Mushrooms
  • Interior Design; Mostly stuff that falls under things like mid-century. Usually stuff that also makes use of colors besides white, black, grey, and beige. More maximalist than minimalist for me!
  • Sky, also weather as well. Looking at looped images for clouds moving and lighting striking is especially neat to me.
  • Auroras
  • Gemstones
  • Neon Things
  • Y2K Aesthetic Things
  • Art Deco
  • Art Noveau
  • Cubism
  • Surrealism
  • Pride, as in LGBT+ things, but especially I like art that makes use of a pride flag's colors as a limited palette!
  • Autumn, like with falling leaves and pumpkins and stuff like that. Ironic since where I live we don't really have much of an autumn, lol
  • Something probably oddly specific: Art with mostly dark blue + gold color schemes, especially themed around the ocean or space/astrology/astronomy.

Character Designs That Appeal To Me

These don't always overlap with my favorite charatcers. Still, I love seeing the kinds of really unique designs people will come up with for these design types!

  • Aliens
  • Androids
  • Angels; Especially ones that aren't just "human with wings and a halo", but more monsterous. Be not afraid!
  • Anthro characters, espcially seeing rarely-used species is always cool. Heck, not just animals, but anthros of things like plants and objects too!
  • Cartoons
  • Clowns
  • Cryptids
  • Cyborgs
  • Demons; similar case to angels, I prefer the more monsterous designs over the human-like ones.
  • Dragons
  • Fairies
  • Fantasy stuff in general; orcs, elves, and so on. I've seen a lot of people pull off really unique and fun designs with this sort of topic!
  • Folklore and mythology based characters, be it based on a character from mytholog/folklore, or inspired by some sort of folklore/mythology
  • Masks
  • Mermaids
  • Monsters in general
  • Object Heads
  • Puppets
  • Robots/androids/what have you, though especially non-humanoid robots!
  • Witches
