All right, I've done my daemon portraits up now. It was good practice, and a lot of fun. You can see them below the cut. There are characters who haven't appeared in my stories yet, but for whom I have headcanon. Including Q. Just 'cause. The sizes and styles vary depending on what photos I could find of the characters and the animals they have. All character images are from
Cumberbatchweb. The animal images are just google search results.
They were all sort of inspired by the portraits that inspired Phillip Pullman to create the concept of daemons. Here's
one from the daemon page on wiki. I saw it when I was researching daemons back in the day.
