Correct, and that's actually simple to answer! The old name caused me a lot of stress and pressure due to my past behaviors and how I've been treated negatively, so I actually never liked it. Within the plan of rebranding I had to make a new change that truly feels like me nowadays

Caffetap came out as the appreciation of caffeine themed, personally one of my favorite is to pour hot water from either hot chocolate and cappuccino - such is why the water came from the sink.. or it could also be used for a coffee machine just so that it could tap in. Ring the bell and you'll get "Caffe-tap"!
(Alternatively I'm also known to be called as "Caffe" as a short nickname)

Unfortuantely my motivation for ArtFight is as lost as the dust in the wind, so I don't think there's a high chance of me joining the entire event. In fact, I already lost my interest as I lack the duty of art attacking people, therefore it puts lots of stress in my mental health. Art trades are acceptable though, so I wouldn't mind any at all in case I can be able to draw anyone's character!

Love the energy on yer feedback, thank you so much!! There's lotsa' stuff that are still work-in-progress related to my OCs, but your comments are greatly appreciated no matter what! ^^

Great question! Short answer is no, but in relation when it comes to Pokémon OCs, I'd say pretty much so! I often tried my best to make Terrier and Gnawbag have the same style as what the main Pokémon artists do when it comes to appearances, and I pretty much love that franchise a lot! Sure, I'm no kinds of master of knowing much about the game, but I've grown to it in my heart as a kid and I became a huge fan of every Pokémon on the list
I'm still thinking of drawing a Crawdaunt OC for the first time.. they're still one of my favorites!

So glad to have somebody who's got some Pizza Tower related OCs!! I'm happy that you really enjoyed it so far as my energy gathered me of wanting to finish this so badly, and I'm glad I did!! I'm still definitely in the midst of my mood wanting to do the rest, so expect to see more of the fanart coming along ^^

Sometimes they do, other times they don't. While all of my characters are most likely without powers, some do have their ability to either create, manage or do whatever it takes to show their control all by themselves; for example, Blugon can fly with wings, Hopper can jump higher but can most likely have a little low on gravity while landing (think of it like a Luigi movement style!), Kanialka using his floating sword to attack his opponents, so on and so forth..

However, that still doesn't mean all powers are meant to be without them! If anything when I do plan on writing their descriptions about their abilities, they'll be seen for which one's available here and there.

That's actually a great question! As somebody who's been a kid in previous years, I've done lots that shows the obsession of drawings and its pressure of motivation, and knowing myself it's quite simple to answer; lots of practices, effort, improvement and everything had to be taken in an artistic feeling to make the expressions about characters feel more cartoony and feel like they're living beings. Without the personalities, nothing would've felt the same and things would be quite dull and empty - but when it comes to a solution in mind, we have to prepare what's best for us to tell the story above the horizon.

Sometimes I often like to make the colors either feel natural or colorful, and sometimes I like to choose what kind of palettes would it be. Whether or not whatever fits them is up to a decision, and if the palette is the right thing to finalize; it's something you gotta be proud of! Not all colors can be perfect of course, however mixing and twisting them up and forth can be quite fun to mess around with.

As for the styles, I can absolutely see where you're coming from! Mixels is one of my favorite childhood shows and seeing as some characters might have its own recognizable artstyle or lineart inspired by it can make things feel more wacky and fun. If anything, making art about your characters or anything else related to them is something that you wouldn't want to forget how important it is to show lots of love of your entire hard work.

I'd say in my little own tip of the iceberg from the skies; take what's best found from the sources either on the internet or IRL (for example, common and wild animals like dogs/cats or crocodiles/alligators, any objects like trash cans or a toy robot. You can also search anything about any fictional characters too), try to mash them up as a character, find any artstyles that suits you the most (personally I like with or without lineless, however I'd like to twist things up by also learning different ones) or find any childhood shows or cartoons that you understood where it came from; do whatever, whenever! Creativity is unlimited and that's what is the coolest for all of us existing artists.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS??? WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE PEOPLE SUPPORTING MY WORK BUT THANK YOU!!

There's lots of stuff that I really need to organize for Toyhouse, and so I haven't finished a lot of them - but your support really means a lot and I greatly appreciate it!

It's worth the pleasure drawing one of your Kartoon character (haha! get it?). This was the moment where I'd be able to draw someone's character on Toyhouse like you for the first time, so hopefully I'd get to do more of yours and for the others, too!

Hiya hiya!! Forgot that I had "Equinova" as my name by accident (considering that I found a new name to bring something new for my future), but I'll be changing it to "Caffetap" in a month!!
