I'm curious to know what designs I have that people would be interested in, in the event I put them up for offer. I am slowly becoming less and less active with my characters, and am likely in the future going to put designs up.

Note: While this is for my entire TH, I'm not entertaining offers at this time.

Additionally, let me know if you'd like me to add you to a ping list!

Someone's trying to login to my account again. I'm not exactly inactive, I'm very much so on here everyday if not every other day. Granted I could be posting more, but still. I know someone is trying to login to my account because they tried to reset my password.

This isn't my first time around dealing with this. But just thought I'd give everyone a heads up in case you get a weird pm or comment.

I hope this reaches knowledgeable ears, ahaha! More details in the thread, but I'm trying to find two specific dreamy that used to be mine, and despite designing them they aren't in my design tab. I'd love to see where they ended up but if they also happen to be ufo I'll tap in.

It's been a year since my last bulletin so I thought I should update on my situation. Mom and I are safe and sound. We've moved successfully out of a friend's house and into our own place in the last month. I'm happily employed and I can tentatively say that I'm financially stable for the first time in a long while. All three cats are still with me, happily romping around the house terrorizing each other.

I'm to be stepping into (another) manager position soon and that will come with an adjustment period, so wish me luck.

That being said I'm open to requests right now. No guarantee that I'll get to too much of them, as I'm really rusty with digital art so the ones I do get to won't all look the same. 🥲

Also if anyone wants a blue sky invite I have like....5 codes to dish out.

Hello! My mother and I are in a bind at present. After the KY flood we helped our neighbor escape her abuser and it's put a target on our backs. The GoFundMe has more information and I've omitted details for safety reasons. (I also omitted the abusers name due to the circumstances we're under, as I don't want defamation charges against us) I can give more details upon request if you need further help understanding the severity of the situation.

If you could please consider helping out by either donating or sharing it's most appreciated!!!

I saw some friends doing this, and thought it'd be a good distraction. <3 Feel free to do this and tag me!

1. Which of your characters represent you the most?

Definitely my persona, but I think the character I designed primarily after myself is actually Cornelia! She was the first character I made when I wanted a self-insert character to go romping around between worlds. She has fun and gets headaches on my behalf. <:

2. Which of your characters represent you the least?

That's actually really difficult. I suppose I put a little bit of myself into each character I design, but I suppose Hayden! Protective and greedy when it comes to things that are his. Whether it's his gold or his people, he keeps them close. That we have in common. Everything else, he's a rotten dragon and I'd hate to be in the same room with him.

3. What is your favorite design you made?

Designs are hard because I'm never satisfied with a character. The only designs that I have let go and given to someone else a good friend of mine owns, and oddly enough one of them is just the clothes I designed for an already existing character. I designed Nia, a cadea for my friend Pharos, and clothes for Keahi that I want to bite. //grabby hands

4. What is your favorite design you own?

Sophie and Titania!

5. What is your biggest yet-to-obtain dreamy?

I want an albino Blakrye and a nearra Sphaerra. Those are my biggest wants currently.

6. What is your most prized achieved dreamie?

Titania was an unexpected offer that I was given and needless to say she's not going anywhere. Sophie too, unsurprisingly!

(See #4)

7. What is your oldest character?

She's not uploaded because I have issues putting her on canvas. Everytime I draw her she looks different, but her name is Satra. She was my first OC and thus my first mary sue.

The....primordial design, if you will sdkjfhskjf -- all her abilities that she was given eventually turned into different characters to fulfill the plot I have in my head. The second oldest character(s) are Melody, Cecil, Aero, and Marek. You can find them all listed in this folder here!

8. What is your newest character?

My myo fathom, Void! I obtained him around the same time I got my custom (Aibon) from Aysh I believe.

9. Favorite feral character you own?

Miiiischhaaaa my guardian character. No thoughts, head empty. Only love.

10. Favorite human(oid) character you own?

oh no, uh uh uh there's a lot of humanoids um hmmm

Amelia and Zoe are by far the ones I've enjoyed drawing the most.

11. Favorite anthro character you own?

Titania aside -- I adore, absolutely adore, Nash. He was one of the Luminette's I had my eye on, and was so happy he came home to me. Nora too was a good steal. I actually really like her colors and just ///chefs kiss

12. First original species character you obtained?

My lacie, Marybelle!!!!! My daughter that desperately needs her story updated and possibly overhauled lmao!

13. What character do you plan to shower with love next?

I've been reading a lot of webtoons and it's making me want to polish some of my older characters, I dunno how that relates. I guess I see a lot of like....noblesse romance genre and I think of Jordan. Her story is more like a wholesome murder mystery if that even fucking makes sense, but I love her and she's so sweet.

14. What character holds the most $$$ value?

I don't want to think about it. I kept track of the numbers at first and after being on this hiatus as long as I've been I just stopped caring. I think Marybelle, because she was my first investment into the adopts community, I spent a lot of time gathering art pieces for her. She was kind of my online face for a few years but really she hasn't been spoiled as much as I'd like.

15. What character has the most art?

If you fact check me on this answer by going to my character gallery and sort, you'd be sorely mistaken to say it was Sol LOL. He's currently being used as a resource image gallery for all of my profile images for all my characters. The one actually with the most images is, shocking nobody, Amelia! She was from an RP group I was in ages ago and like Marybelle was a bit of an online sona.

16. What character has the most favorites?

Looks like Fuyuhi and Titania are tied neck and neck at 36 likes each, Nora coming up third at 30. :')

17. Any characters you co-own?

It's been offered to me in passing, and has come up a couple times, but no. I really do not feel comfortable not having full autonomy over what to do with a design/character. Not why I'm in this community.

18. If you had to give up all your ocs but one, which would you keep?

Being truthful here, most of my characters were given to me so they'd just go back home to the friends who initially gave them to me. Sad to see them go, but happy they're home with people I trust. I think the only characters left after that are OC's and if I could only stick with one it'd have to be a comfort character that I can insert into any story. All that leaves is Mini, the persona eh?

19. Any characters based off of show/book/movie/game?

None that are uploaded here! I'm shy to admit that I do make fansona's for a series I'm hyper-fixated on. I think I made two characters for MLB, and an adventurer for Genshin. <:

20. Your smartest character?

Boy genius, Rayne. His curiosity is only eclipsed by Odin himself. While he'll do most anything to satisfy his desire for knowledge, he's not about to hang himself from a tree and look between the roots of Yggdrasil.

21. Your clumsiest character?

Hmm, good question. I don't think I've ever thought of that. I feel like I only ever use clumsiness as a plot device, but I suppose it wouldn't be too far off to say that Clayton has broken one too many phones while running around. He seems the type to lose his keys, his phone, and trip over his laces once in awhile ahaha.

22. Your evilest character?

I'm terribad at making villains. At worst any oc would be morally grey, or just kind of a dick. This is why none of my plots or stories are very compelling. I write/draw/hc for comfort mostly!

That being sad, Koudai got his powers taken away by mother dearest because he doesn't behave and doesn't really respect the rules his elders have put into place to keep a balanced relationship with humans. :') Jerk.

23. Your sweetest character?

Thorn needs a new name but she's just been named that for so long I can't make myself rename her, ahaha. She's Melody and Harmony's little sister.

24. Do you have a season/holiday themed character?

I think the closest thing I have to a themed character would be Salem, because iirc he's winter and another character that was to be sold with him was autumn.

25. A character you are currently wanting to rehome more than any?

Please take this bird off my hands. I desperately wanted to join this community, and it just -- hmnn.

26. Which of your character's names do you like most?

I have many many characters and often times names don't really come to me. But these are my favorite names that I've got so far: Nora, Eden, Nash, Jericho, Vale, Ludo, Harper, Mischa, Aero, and Espirit.

27. Which character have you drawn most?

Amelia and Titania! Hera too.

28. Any hybrid characters?

As in like a dreamy/czylph uhhh no I don't think so. Most of my characters are the species labeled, or a kemonomimi of some kind. I do have shape shifters, but none that are explicitly a hybrid.

29. Your most unique character?

That's hard to say, I don't think any of my characters really stand out against the crowd aside from favorites I've already listed.

Disclaimer: I'm simply sharing what knowledge I have, but I insist you do your own research on the subject. Additionally, to be completely transparent, I do not condone the creation of NFT's or any sort of cryptocurrency.

What are NFT's? [ None-Fungible-Token ] It's a string of computer generated codes that attaches itself to an image, hence why we're going through such an aggressive time with art theft. People need appealing imagery to attach this code to in order to sell it. However, most website phrase this as: "Artists can now sell their digital works with this code to prove its authenticity." Kind of like how traditional art pieces usually come with a signature or a card of some kind to show that it's an original work and not a copy.

However, news flash, you can right-click save. You can screenshot. So no they're not wanting the image, they're wanting the string of code. How do they generate these codes? More specifically these codes are called digital tokens. They're made similarly to Bitcoin in which people compete in a mining competition. Well what the hell is mining?

" "Mining" is performed using sophisticated hardware that solves an extremely complex computational math problem. The first computer to find the solution to the problem is awarded the next block of bitcoins and the process begins again. " -- https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-does-bitcoin-mining-work/

And so what a lot of these, unlovingly named, cryptobro's are doing are setting up farming rigs with all of this equipment and they'll compete over who's rig will essentially solve the most puzzles, to win the most money. That's kind of the extent of my knowledge on that, but basically the reason I'm against NFT's is not just for the art theft aspect. It has to do with the environment and the lack of empathy these people have for it.

If you think getting ahead means it's okay to step on the necks of environmentalists and nullifying any progress that they've made in reducing carbon emissions by participating in cryptocurrency that involves this:

https://mobile.twitter.com/sonicmega/status/1471941670153244673 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz9YK2Y6ZnM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1NfEb1UF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-vrdPtZVXc

Cryptocurrency uses a lot of energy, meaning a lot of fossil fuels are being used. There *are* other energy methods that are attempted to get put into place, but they're not any better in the long term.

"To put this into perspective, the daily carbon footprint of Bitcoin is the equivalent of watching 57,000 hours of YouTube videos. And, its daily electricity usage is equivalent to the amount of power an average American household uses over the course of 25 days. The environmental impact of NFTs is similar, as it uses energy-intensive computer transactions to authenticate and sell the art." -- https://brightly.eco/environmental-impact-nfts/

That's just one day of mining, in one rig. Now multiply that and think about how hot these farms are getting.

Please reconsider, and if after reconsideration you still decide to partake in competitions like this then just leave. And for those who don't really care for the environment, but also aren't really interested in getting involved in a digital circle jerk of code distribution, the reason you haven't been able to get any GPU's is because of all of these NFT and Bitcoin rigs. This is why prices are so high, and why you're getting scalped.

If anyone has anything else to add, you can comment below but no guarantee I'll be around to respond. Please be civil.

I don't interact with many people on here, and those I do I'm friends with on discord. For the time being, until I'm able to figure out a more secure way, I'll be auth only/privating all of my characters. Beau, Solcyon, and others have reported that their art/designs/characters are being uploaded for sale as NFT's. I should not have to say it, but for transparency and clarity: I do not condone NFT's in any way shape or form. It's theft plain and simple, and a environmental hazard.

So two friends of mine are cleaning house mostly and they've got some really cute adopts up for sale/trade with HQ art.

Please give them a look see!
