Cross-format inspiration tends to crop up a lot at Torn World - it's one of the things that made me want to open it up as a shared world, actually. :)
On the Rocks is a good example of it - Elizabeth shared a prompt (at Sketch Fest) for a unicorn climbing up on a cliff, I sketched this piece: http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/sketchfestart.php?id=1400
Elizabeth started a story for it, here: http://www.tornworld.net/storypageview.php?id=248
Which inspired me to finish it in ink: http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/sketchfestart.php?id=2145
Backwards from that, Elizabeth's poem 'The String of Beads' inspired this artwork: http://emg-zine.com/item.php?id=465&page=&access=Y (Not Torn World related. Also, trigger warning, if you fear spiders.)
I've actually been toying with the idea of running a project, alternating writers and artists, where one item inspires another, inspires another not necessarily related in any fashion - sort of like the old telephone game where you can't see further back than just the last work... just to see where we ended up.
