Suggestions:
- Robotic scenes - canvas depicting a machine society(kind of like Matrix etc) at its normal daily pace.
- Aquatic - beings adequate to live underwater, various species made from your own imagination.
- Golems - constructs made for various tasks to settle for their masters(example).
- Plants - concept art of trees, bushes, etc. You may think this is boring but I assure you it can be made interesting, I've seen quite a few interesting concepts of such (trap plants, consumer plants, treefolks might count in as well I suppose, etc).
- Eldritch horror - beings outside space and time, impossible in our reality, yet, somehow they still exist. They are grotesque mockeries of reality beyond comprehension whose disturbing otherness cannot be encompassed in any mortal tongue.
- Sci-fi vehicle design - some really cool vehicles like in Star Wars (AT-TE, Hailfire Droid, etc.), not just ones resembling real world vehicles (like the ones we see daily in Art Station or in movies like Avatar. Those are rather boring).
- Alternate history warriors - base your piece on a historically existing type of unit but make it different in a way (ex.: the game "For Honor", Kekai Kotaki's knights, etc. I'd rather if we made this from Ancient to Medieval times (without the gun ages).
- Artificial Intelligence - an AI controlled entity, could be anything from an awesome machine of mass destruction to a humanoid-like construct.
- Race - create the concept of an original race of your own, that would fit in a high-fantasy universe like Warcraft, LotR, Warhammer, Warhammer: 40k, etc. Medieval-themed universe isn't mandatory.
- Monster killer - can be anything, templar, paladin, demon hunter, etc.
- Hunter - just like monster killer, but you know... different.
- Captain - also vary wide range, space captain, medieval captain, etc.
- Emotions - anger and hate, despair and oblivion, etc. All the various intertwined ones that express in a being's emotional state.
- Intertwined thematic eras - Imagine something like dark-fantasy meets sci-fi. It could be a combination of both aspects or a confrontation between them(for example).
- Cryptids - creatures that are said to exist in this world, or maybe not, who knows(Loch Ness, Big Foot, etc).
- Rare Sightings - depict a phenomenon that you almost cannot see, or an animal so rare and different from others, or a rare habit no one commonly sees. Either fantasy or reality, it's up to you. Red sprites(lightning), colorful millipedes, strange cloud formations, tigers caring for his prey's child, etc.
- Archon/Elemental - whatever you think fits the word (Tyrael's, Starcraft elementals, apparently there isn't much of a definition here, just make it recognizable).
- Squads - create an art that represents two or more characters in a team, travelling together, experiencing it first-hand, etc.
- Antithesis/Dualism - "two sides of the same coin", the "two halves" of the same individual(human or non-human), a bad side and a good side sharing a common "ground", some like shape-shifting between good and bad, holy-unholy, living-dead, beautiful-hideous, etc.
- Undead - no longer alive creatures that are reanimated by magical means.
- Vampires - a vampire is a being from folklore who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living.
- Cyberpunk - it is set in a future that tends to focus on the society of the proverbial "high tech low life"(examples include Sprawl trilogy, Dune, Blade Runner, etc).
- Overwhelming odds - a group of people faced with insurmountable odds or overwhelming numbers of enemies. For example, a knight vs a demon, a squad of marines vs a swarm. Despite their oncoming death, "these heroes" faced it with valor and courage, despising fear as it stares at their eyes.
