Hello! I just wanted to ask---do you have a designing process, or do you just do what your gut tells you to? Because your designs have so much emotion behind them and I'm just wowed by it,,,
Also, what's your favorite Pokémon generation (if you can pick)? I really enjoy Sun & Moon, but Black & White seem really cool, too :3
just got the sticker i ordered from your shop (+ the other goodies you put in there!!)
just wanted to say thank you and i love your work <3
i look forward to commissioning you in the future! ^^
Heyo, Schepp!! I'm absolutely loving Sun Sprain so far. I look forward to reading chapter 3 ^^
I was curious, were there any specific mental health apps that inspired the one shown in the comic? I've been trying to improve on my own goals and own being, so seeing something like that in SS made me think about trying some out... Any recommendations?
hi! n.n im so glad you're enjoying sun sprain ;o; !!!! that really means a lot to me! <3
Unfortunately none that I'm aware of, the therapy app was just a little thing I designed on my own and isn't based on any real apps. All the therapy stuff is more based around my actual therapy sessions (ive had a therapist for 4 years) rather than any sort of wellness app. i honestly have kind of a grudge against a lot of wellness apps as ive learned too much about how they dont really do much to help those in need and are usually glorified journaling apps / impose ungodly working conditions on real people/therapists x_x i really wish you luck in finding some help with it though, therapy has done so much for me!!!!
Hey Schepp! How do you do the triangle-like pattern on your sparkledog/animal designs? :o I wanna draw the sparkledog I got but not sure how to do it haha
Hey! I have a design of yours I wanted to see If I can transfer the credits to your toyhouse! ^^

hi, just wanted to pop in to say how much i love sun sprain!!! the stylization is sooo so awesome, and i love how the characters' appearances change over time as they grow... beat is such a special guy, thank you for sharing his story with everyone :]
been following you and your work, including some of your first comics, since 2017! your art and design have always been such a huge inspiration to me! Cant wait to see what you come up with in the future!!
Awh man,,, I followed you on deviantart YEARS ago and even commissioned you a fair amount of times but sadly I'm no longer all that active on the social medias that (to my memory) you use :"))) I crawled back onto toyhou.se to do some adopt stuff but while I was making myself more at home I remembered that I was following you here!!! Happy to see your delightful art again!!!!!!! With that being said I definitely have a lot of catching up to do, LMAO
I just gotta say, the way you sort all your ocs by color and the art for them is so good I really love it 😭❤️❤️❤️
Omg I wish I'd have subscribed to you on here sooner! Your style's one of my absolute faves but instagram banishes your posts from my feed too often x__x love your ocs and always look forward to seeing your character art!
Heya! I know you answered this question a few months ago, but I thought I'd ask in case anything changed!
I was interested in making my own entropy monster since I'm fascinated with the idea of them and what they represent. Is it still okay to make one of them and if so, what are some design rules to follow as well as get an explanation as to what they are?
Again, I apologize if you reiterate what you already said I just wanted to make sure!
yeah idm at all as long as it follows under the little species guidelines!
here's all of mine so you can see it more clearly: https://toyhou.se/Scheppen/characters/tagged:entropy%20monsters/folder:all
Overall the theme for them reflects something that's lost to time / becoming lost to time. could be of a place, object, or a concept that's ceasing to be / falling out of style / lost / decaying / etc. (Kell is Kmart & the memory of wildberry tarts of my childhood dayz, Pavilion is the remodeling and my sensory experiences as a kid at the local pavilion, Shock is the blue crystal N64 and the era of the N64 as a whole, and Terrace is my early childhood imagination & home as it was). Get creative u know?
As for visual features these are the must-haves
- long tails and necks with strange patterns, glowy bits optional
- human hair and human hands + hand-feet
- V-shaped noses
- Sharp canines
- Big ears
Sounds good, I seriously appreciate it! And oooh got it, I'll definitely think of something creative and keep these design features in mind. :)
I appreciate you making such a personal species open to others! It's so fun and mentally freeing to make characters based on memories and past experiences--it's a feeling that's so indescribable tbh. Looking forward to it!
hiyo n.n the only ocs id ever consider any offers on are in my "ocs" folder, but I like them all a good bit so while u can feel welcome to offer bare in mind it's not super likely I'll be givin anyone up! But don't let it stop you if you see someone you really like and wanna shoot your shot!
i love looking at/reading abt at your characters!! they are so full of life and vibes! <33 inspiring work!
I LOVE UR PFP its so freaking cool it gives me old gameboy pokemon vibes!! hope ur having a lovely day btw
edit I love ur ocs n would totally commission you (also are you ok with fanart of ur ocs)
sorry if I'm coming off as rude or annoying/gen
Thank u!!! Thats exactly what it's based on U.U 💕 ur so sweet, not annoying at all!!!
My comms open early January so keep an eye out if you'd like >:^] and im always ok with fanart, it makes my day!!
thats sO COOL OMG!!!
yea thats fine I cant wait until they open up (would totally commission a pixel gif of my sona!!) awesome I always ask n make sure
wow, your characters are so unique, I really adore them! I especially love your choice of words in their descriptions, very poetic and beautiful!
hey i had a quick question about your sea beast characters? (like kelda for example) how do i get my own? i feel really connected to them and would love one of my own.
I'm really touched you like them! but sea beasts are a personal species i made to represent my own gender identity and emotions, they're not really in the realm of closed or open species and I prefer that people don't commission me for them or make their own. you can totally make ur own sea serpent ocs ofc, i have no control over the idea of that n.n I just ask that you don't take too much from my sea beasts in your own designs!
I really wanted to pop in here and say that I love the ideas and aesthetics that you put into your character design and descriptions!! The vibes especially hit for me, they’re fantastic. It’s very inspiring honestly and makes me wanna create even more characters soon, so thank you for that!
hi kell!! i'd been wanting to ask but what exactly are entropy monsters? and could i make my own or are they a sort of personal species? i hope i don't sound rude I'm genuinely intrigued :D !!
You're not rude at all! They're a very loose species that manifest from all memories (good ones and bad ones) of places or things that become lost to time. Basically a big mix of nostalgia and sensory specifications, though some are less "hip nostalgiacore" and more "uncomfortable". I've been making them as a way to reflect on my weird affinity for dying malls and places I might never go back to :^]
I'd say they are a personal species, I don't tend to make species with the whole "open or closed" thing in mind, but I don't really mind if you wanna make one or not, if you want to really badly then go ahead! I'm much less picky with them than my Sea Beast species u.u Some things to keep in mind design-wise if you're hoping to be a lil true to form is that they've all got long necks, long unique tails, human hair, glowy colorful eyes, rabbit-like noses, and human hands/ hand-feet!
I SAW THE ANTHRO GLISCOR YOU MADE, THEYRE MY ALL TIME FAV POKEMON AND I LOVE HOW YOU DREW THEM!!! i wish i couldve bought them but thats ok! ive been wanting to make an anthro gliscor for a while i just never knew how to draw them cuz they have weird anatomy haha
question, are you chill with me drawing a character of yours? they have the "want art" tag but I wanted to make sure ^^'
Hey, I was wondering if you would happen to have request or trades open ;u;! I Love your art style so much! that would be very noice!
I absolutely LOVE your characters and designs!! You’re a huge inspiration to me and I really hope I can get one of the adoptables you sell on Instagram one day :))
Your a huge inspiration, one day I'd love to get a custom from you !! You are super rad, stay cool !!
couId I get notified when you re-open commissions? or, aIternativeIy, if anyone from my uft foIder interestes you in exchange for art?
what ever happened to that giant yellow dog-like creature? they had a leaf on their head and they were in a couple of your older yt videos I believe? just curious bc i loved them so so so so much <3
ok so 1. I love all of your designs, they're all wonderful and very creative, i love all your sonas and their aesthetics.
2. i made a dumb little doodle of buk. i don't know if you're ok with me putting it in the comments here or if i should send it to you elsewhere. i'm still really new to toyhouse so idk if there's any place other than here to send it.
would you ever do pings for these fellas? :D
