Donut-Toast's Bulletins


I'm taking a short break from designing Content Warning Icons.
I really appreciate all the support and feedback I've gotten for these icons and am absolutely astonished by how many people find the concept useful! like, REALLY astonished! I never imagined the thing to get more than a 100 faves, and now it's already got a 1000+! that's crazy!! So when the likes started ramping up and people told me the icons were triggering visually, I did my best to change them as fast as possible before they really got Out There. And while I was already at it, I added some other requested CW too! Because if people find these useful, I want them to be useful for all sorts of topics!

However, I'd be lying if I said these past 4 days haven't been exhausting,,, KDLAFJAKSDLFAD
Like!! It's been really nice to see people happy to have this code for sure!!! But irl it's been a routine of wake up, eat, do chores, read comments, make new icons, go to sleep.
I've already made 54 animated designs! 13 of which are old and now unused. I'm happy people have spoken up and continue to speak up about visuals that are too triggering!!! Don't get me wrong!!! Please continue to do so!
And I certainly wouldn't make this decision if I wasn't more confident about the redesigns with everyone's feedback!!
but aye,,, I'm exhausted ^o^

I'm going to draw some things for myself for a couple of days so I can build back up my stamina, but then I'll get back to it! pinky promise!   (image that index finger isn't there)

Anyways, I hope you guys understand! Have a nice day/night!

New Year, New Layout!

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago by Donut-Toast

This took me a while to settle with because I do TERRIBLE with change, but my folders have now been sorted differently! Auterhol has become a pretty big centre point for most of my stories, so it made sense to me that folder should get more organisation! 

Auterhol has been changed to a Flattened folder style and exists out of Main Folk, Side Folk and Townsfolk.

The folders UK, Toons, Monster Girls and Greece (1776) have been removed.
Most background characters from UK have been moved to Somewhere over the🌈. Damien, Sarah, Shun and James have been moved to Main Folk.
All characters from Toons and Monster Girls have been moved to Unknown, but most are hidden.
All characters from Greece (1776) have been moved to Other Time Periods, but everyone is hidden.

A couple of characters from Somewhere over the🌈 have been moved to Auterhol too. The most notable ones are Gnörf, Mr. Sandman, ★  🎀  𝒞𝓇𝓎𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓁  🎀  ★ and Aqua.

I have also hidden Henna and Mary again. In general I've just been feeling really anxious and embarrassed about my stories again (which is just something I need to pull myself through), but with Henna and Mary in particular I think I'm not portraying their culture properly and believe I might even be playing in on stereotypes when it comes to their backstory. They're located in Main Folk and are really close to my heart, so they're not going anywhere! I just want to do more research and change some things before I make them public again.

Happy (late) New Year everyone!

I'm terribly sorry for the change,, I promise you won't miss much! They were mainly just background characters, characters with old bios and fan characters I hadn't drawn yet. I'm still just really anxious about the whole Feral situation and started feeling super embarrassed about having their profiles Like That and, uh, the usual overthinking stuff too.

I'm sure they'll be public eventually when I feel okay again. But until then, my apologies for any missing characters :o

Posted 2 years, 6 months ago by Donut-Toast

Heyo!! I made these spooky outfits and thought, hey! Why not share them on Toyhouse too? So here! Use them however you'd like ^o^
I also made a forum post in case you end up drawing your characters in one of these and want to share them.

An Experiment I've Been Thinking About For A While

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago by Donut-Toast

Would you pass them to the next person?

23 Votes Yeah I would!
2 Votes I'm not sure...
12 Votes I think It would be hard for me if the design is cute
0 Votes No I would private them and keep them

I've been thinking about making a character inspired by HitchBOT, a little robot who relied on the trust of other people to hitchhike to its destination.... Except this character just travels around from person to person ^o^
I mainly just think it's a fun idea, but I also think it'll be interesting to see how far this character will actually go within the character trading/selling community until someone privates them and keeps them as their own character!

Soooo Yeah! I was just wondering how you guys would deal with such a character if they suddenly were transferred to you out of the blue ^o^

I've been meaning to make a bulletin about this for a while now, but today was the drop that overflowed my bucket.

Please don't ping me for characters you're going to sell! Especially if I favourited them.

I'm not in the character trading community and to me personally it's upsetting to see characters going from owner to owner, especially for large amounts of money. I do delivery! I don't have the money to spend 400 dollars on a character! I haven't been to the ★Hot page for a good while because of this too and despite having put on my profile I don't want to be tagged for stuff like this, I still get notifications about it.
I would also like to say none of my characters are for trade/sale... I thought this was obvious by the way my profile is structured, but in the past people still have offered on my characters. So I'm saying it here now.
My characters are very dear to me! I make my characters for a story and specific universe... Or to appreciate a certain media. I use them to cope with irl events and to understand myself better. I don't want them to be offered on and I feel like I shouldn't have to put a warning on my profile stating that. This is my personal profile so please don't treat it as a mall!

Thank you for understanding!

A bit slow on the attacks aaaaaa

Posted 2 years, 9 months ago by Donut-Toast

Since I can't seem to make any sort of bulletin on Artfight, I'm gonna put it here!

I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful attacks!! You're all so talented and you guys captured my characters really well in the pieces you made! I never really expected so many people to want to draw them in the first place!! Thank you so much!!! 

But I also want to apologise aaaa... I haven't had a lot of time to catch up on y'all and since last Wednesday I've also been stuck with a nasty flu <:o.(
(We did a quick test today to see if it was da big C but it luckily came back negative!)

And well, I feel really guilty! I've really been trying to even things out with breaks and everything but everything is moving so slow! So,, sorry for the late revenges! I'll try to get to it as soon as possible ^o.^"
