Animal Jam Prefrences List

Posted 5 months, 18 days ago by Xen

I might be willing to trade some characters for Animal Jam items. Specifically Animal Jam the mobile version (Otherwise known as Animal Jam Play Wild), NOT Animal Jam Classic!! The closer it is to the top of this list, the more likely I am to accept! Feel free to dm to also discuss a trade or if you would like to look at the rest of my wishlist, just keep in mind I'm not likely to accept trades that dont include items on this list. Also please keep in mind I am an adult jammer and am most comfortable trading with other adult jammers! I'll consider trades from everyone, but please keep this in mind if you wouldn't be comfortable dicussing a trade!

NOTE: Ones that have already been obtained are crossed off, I may be willing to accept duplicates of items for certain characters or as addons! Feel free to discuss a trade!

NOTE 2: I prefer den items more than clothing as addons!

Xen's Design Preferences

Posted 8 months, 29 days ago by Xen

Design Preferences

These are my preferences for designs in general! Please feel free to show me anything that's not on my Not Interested list. Keep in mind I am NOT at all picky about designers, I care least about who designed it and will mostly be looking at whether I will use the design or not. Use the design section very very loosely and please don't feel pressured to offer only designs made by designers listed here. If you want, Please look at my Folder 1 favorites, as well as my Hugbox and Advocates folders to get a better Idea of what I like. (Some designs in Folder 1 may be highly considered)

Designers

  • Bugbox
    • Mostly interested in animal-like one-offs and closed species designs.
  • Crazie
    • Interested in more colorful designs, Experiments (From Lilo and Stitch), and Terraliens.
  • Avilusol
    • Literally anything except humanoids! I like CS designs from my preferred species, but I'll also look at one-offs and any species not in my not interested.
  • Rashieen
    • Particularly backrooms-themed designs and arcade/web-based designs, but will look at any.
  • TBA
    • tba
  • Dilnyan
    • Not sure, offer.
  • Bugwizard
    • Interested in designs without clothes/accessories, mainly kidcore and bright, colorful designs!
  • Plushpon
    • Prefer designs that are less humanoid/don't have humanoid hair!

Closed Species

  • One-Offs
    • Please look at my interests to see what I'd like, I'm mostly interested in anthro one-offs and will likely not be interested in ferals. I'm a fan of either highly cutesey/kidcore designs, or scary/weird monsters.
  • Terraliens
    • Mainly looking for staff/GA customs or Limited MYOs, will likely say no to most MYO-made Terras. May consider other limited Terraliens or any terraliens with limited traits. Not interested in Common/Uncommon/Rare MYOs.
  • Chowlings
    • Only interested in MYO slots or Staff/GA designs. Not interested in customs unless they're from my preferred designers.
  • Symprites/Amarelles
    • Not active in this species, will consider Symp/Amarelle Fenokey designs or customs from my preferred designers.
  • Chimereons
    • Not sure what I'm looking for as I'm not active in the species, designs from my preferred designers/favorites, or designs that fit my preferences would be awesome. Will consider a MYO.
  • Bagbeans
    • Very picky, just offer!

Character Check in: 9/21/22

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago by Xen

As always, my 3 main stories consist of Rifters (only humans/humanoids, my first 4 folders and main story), Critterland (Only invertebrate anthros designed in my style). and Hugbox (Non-Critterland anthros, this is the only folder I'll consider trading characters from.)

I now have a new folder, Advocates, they were originally under "Unhinged" in the Hugbox folder, I plan on doing something different with them, so they have their own now.

Rifters

  • New logo! It's only temporary but it should help visually organize.
  • Folder change: The folder has been reworked entirely, all characters from Rifters are now in a flattened folder, I should've done this a while ago.
  • Inuxen has finally gotten an updated design! I'm so happy with it so far, hopefully I'll finish his ref sheet soon.
  • Jeoffa also has gotten an updated design! His aesthetic has changed from a feminine pop/goth to a masculine goth/clown vibe.

Critterland
  • I will begin uploading other critter designs soon, other than that, no new changes.

Hugbox
  • Pinglists: Feel free to ask to be added to a pinglist for any characters in Hugbox, even if I'm not currently taking offers. Some, like Ace and Pencil, are unlikely to ever go back up for trade, but others I'd be more open to trade
  • Note about offering: For characters designed by other people, I usually prefer swaps for another one of that person's designs. For my designs, I prefer USD. Art offers are my least priority, and I'll usually only consider scene type commissions.
  • Current Offers: No characters are currently up for offer. Waves has been moved to my alt. Characters without the NFT tag I'm willing to take offers on.
  • Future Offers: My financial troubles are over, I don't see any characters going up for offers soon!
  • No longer taking offers on Whiteboard or Cherry and Berry. I did not see any offers I liked that came close to their current value. Feel free to ask to be added to a pinglist.
  • New Characters: Liminal, Meep, Boogie, and Starsy have arrived!
  • Liminal has gotten a bio

Advocates

Character Check in: 8/1/22

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago by Xen

I  don't know, I just wanna let people know whats up with my characters and if any are going up for sale.

As always, my 3 main stories consist of Rifters (only humans/humanoids, my first 4 folders and main story), Critterland (Only invertebrate anthros designed in my style). and Hugbox (Non-Critterland anthros, this is the only folder I'll consider trading characters from.)

Rifters

  • Nothing's really changed, I have a drawing I want to finish of Chrom and a ref sheet for Savage.
  • Pages for some characters have been done for a while, I'm slowly working through the rest, but some are stuck until I finish updated art for them.
  • Characters with updated art will have avatars with colored translucent backgrounds, while ones that need updating have white backgrounds or no borders.

Critterland
  • A New Character: Tenchi, has arrived! This character was previously a gift, he's been returned to me for a while now, but has just recently been given back on Toyhouse. He has a twin character named Sallow who is owned by Threekings!
  • Tenchi and Hunty will be getting new bios very soon. And Macktis is getting a revamp.
  • Hunty has had a few design changes, a few more may be on the horizon.
  • Some new characters are on the horizon, including a volcano snail, a bombardier beetle, a fly, a moth, and a butterfly.
  • I'm planning on using a new template for Critterland characters rather than just the same one I use for Rifters. Ideally it would be less extensive than the current one, but not as simple as the one I'm using for Hugbox. I would adore any suggestions.

Hugbox
  • Current Offers: Currently actively entertaining offers on Whiteboard and Cherry and Berry, additional art has been added for the former. 
  • Future Offers: Considering taking USD offers on Yuè Chén, Bam, and Waves sometime soon, but I have a few artworks for them I'll be posting now that Art Fight's over. They probably won't go fully up for offers until then. I'm very tentative, since I'm still very connected to them, but I desperately need money, we'll see.
  • No longer taking offers on Yolky, I've opted to keep him for now. May reopen later.
  • A New Character: Ace, has just arrived! This guy has been a dreamie of mine since I started following crazie's designs. I kinda wanna say he's the reason I joined the adopt community. Meaning that now that I have him I literally don't know what to do lmao..... I guess.... keep participating somewhat? Anyways I'm excited to make some art for him. He'll be getting a bio very soon. Suggestions for a new name that also starts with A are appreciated.
  • Character Trade: I no longer own Toasty, I disconnected from him and took offers. He has been traded to Threekings in exchange for a $60 voucher, The worth of his purchase price plus additional art, with a discount for works that hadn't been completed yet. I will continue drawing art for him and he has gotten a lot of new art since then if you wanna check him out!
  • Cherry and Berry, Whiteboard, Yolky, and Hazard have all gotten bios. Next up are Chomper, Vennie, Ace, and Eclair. Bonus points if you can guess what I based Hazard's bio off of (Hint: it's a subreddit)

Random Happenings
  • Alt Offers: All characters on my Alt account that aren't tagged with NFT (Not for Trade) are up for offers (Exception is Radio until his new art comes in)! Mainly looking at USD, but I'll consider characters too. Art is pending for Radio, Goggles, and Sing.
  • Art Fight is over, this was my first time ever participating, and my goal was to practice my backgrounds and scenes. I think I sucessfully did! I finished with 9 attacks total! 1 Lightly shaded Cheeb, 1 Lightly rendered Badge. 3 Sketch Scenes, and 4 Fully Rendered Scenes! 7 of 9 were revenge! It's been absolutely awesome! The practice was invaluable and while I didn't make as many dynamic scenes as I wanted, or revenge everyone, so far I'm pretty proud of what I did do :) Next year, maybe animations? Who knows.
  • Also now that I have Ace, I'll probably be slowing down a ton in the Adopt community. I only started adopting and trading not even 2 months ago with my purchase of Sing. It's been weird haha,  I've really only ever made my own characters and caring for designs from other people is certainly... new, but not unwelcome! :) I can see why some do it consistently! I started following a bunch of awesome designers and have interacted with awesome people, so while I'll still be participating, my minor adopt frenzy is over and I want to put love and care into the designs that I did get in that time! I don't like people feeling like their wonderful designs will just rot away on my account so trust me, I will do something with them! <3
  • Speaking of, my conventions for the year are almost over! My last con will be Megaplex later this week where you'll get to see Sniall 2.0! After that, It'll be straight back to art and my business, as well as some fursuit work (2 new heads and some revemping!) The focus will probably center around Rifters and Critterland for a while, but mileage may vary!
