Sweetspea's Bulletins


Just as it says on the tin!  I’ve adored these darlings and the community for ages and I had so much fun getting all of these customs, but aaaa I haven’t used them in ages and it’s time to finally rehome them all the best i can!!

I’m mostly after things on or similar to other CS/one-offs on my favorites and preferences, but I’ll happily look at anything!!  I’ll also tentatively look at art/custom offers, but oh I’ll just be so darn picky if this is offered on its own!  But everyone’s work is so darn gorgeous so don’t you dare take that to heart, you’re all wonderful with what you do!

You can find all of my Kebanzu here! https://toyhou.se/Sweetspea/characters/folder:3224999  I’ll happily do multiple/all of them for the right offer, or potentially add CS/one-offs of my own to sweeten the deal depending on the offer!

The only thing I’m not after is resale, unfortunately I’ll never resell them oh I’m so sorry about that!

Feel free to comment or DM me to offer!  Will most likely be open until they’re all gone!

ArtFight Time!!

Posted 9 months, 24 days ago by Sweetspea

It’s finally ArtFight time aaaaa let’s gooooo!!   Probably going to be on Team Vampire because hoo boy do y’all love the werewolf team!!  Blue teams my beloved but gosh I want to help even out the teams a little bit!

Oh gosh I hope everyone has such an amazing time this year!  I’m always blown away by what comes out of this community during July, everyone’s so unbelievably kind and everyone puts so much love and effort into what they do 💕 and I’m always so, so honored just to be a part of it!!  Doing something kind for someone else is one of the most important things you can do, we all deserve a little kindness and gentleness, especially now!!  

This year I’m going to focus mostly on revenges since last year there were quite a few people I couldn’t get back to so oh this year I’m hoping to revenge most everything I can regardless of team!!  But of course I’m still planning a few attacks of my own, I’d love to focus on practicing more detailed scenes and animations and I may even bust out a little ceramic piece or two because I haven’t done that in ages!!  So please drop your ArtFight‘s below regardless of team, I’d love to bookmark some gorgeous darlings to do something fun of aaaa!!

And you can find me here as always!  Still got to upload one or two characters maybe but oooo I’m excited for this year!!  I hope everyone has an absolutely amazing ArtFight!  https://artfight.net/~Sweetspea 

Offer Policy!

Posted 1 year, 7 months ago by Sweetspea

Good morning, afternoon, evening, and everything in between everyone!!  I hope everyone's having an absolutely wonderful and safe time out there right now!

I just wanted to preface this bulletin by saying this isn't directed at anybody in particular, if you read this and think to yourself "oh gosh I did that recently!" oh my goodness this is not directed towards you in particular, and I'm not mad or upset at anybody at all!  I adore each and every one of you and want only the best for everybody that ever crosses my path

But lately I've been getting quite a lot of offers on designs of mine that aren't up for offers, or are designs that are very much loved and forever homed!  I know how much designs mean to people and how much joy they can bring, so I never, ever want to hard stop anybody from at least tossing their hat into the ring to try and get a design they've been in love with for a while and that they really do want to use and care for!  But because of the sheer volume I've been getting and the content of those offers, I am going to be implementing some rules so it's easier for everybody involved!

🌱Please avoid offering on designs tagged forever homed!  These will never, ever be leaving me and they all have very big parts in my silly stories you all will sometimes see me upload art and silly rambles for!  These cannot be bribed off of me and I ask people please not to try, it'll just leave you disappointed!

🌱Please try not to offer your entire TH on designs just to "try your luck"!  I always love to help people get the designs they truly want and love, but I've been getting a lot of offers on characters from people who just want to see if they can have them.  I don't mind offers if it's a design you well and truly want and love, but I ask you please pay attention to what I may be looking for instead of just offering your entire TH or only your trade/sale folder and getting upset when I decline!  If a design isn't explicitly up for offers it may be a "bribe me" situation, so be prepared for that expectation too if I'm not actively looking to get rid of something!

🌱If you do want to try offering on a design of mine, please take a look at my favorites and preferences to get an idea of what I may be looking for right now!  I don't mind when people just really truly want a design and will offer anything they can, but if it's not on or similar to my favorites and preferences I will most likely say no!  You're also more than welcome to ask me if there's anything currently out there I'd take as an AB for the design you want, more often than not I may have something in mind currently up for offers!

🌱Just be polite!  I understand that I have a lot of designs that people are a tad rabid to get, but I ask you to please respect me and if you really want to offer, that you offer fairly with the reality in mind that it is most likely a design with a story that I don't want to actively part with.  It may take a massive bribe to get me to consider, a lot of designs will only leave me for an offer I just can't say no to!

🌱Please keep in mind that my favorites are not a shopping list!  Do not under any circumstances bother or harass any owners of designs I have favorited, and do not go out and buy/trade for a design in my favorites before asking me if I'd take them for a specific design you want.  This has happened multiple times and it only leaves both of us disappointed and upset!

With all of this in mind, if I do have a design you're just dying for, I never ever mind a gentle message or two asking about them as long as you offer fairly, you ask nicely, and you pay attention to what I may be looking for!  If it's a design I don't have a solid idea for and haven't used in a bit, I'm even happy to put them on hold for you and try to figure something out!


That's all, thank you all so darn much everyone!  I never ever bite and I try to be as kind and understanding as possible, I just ask you to please try to give the same courtesy back to me and everyone you approach about anything!  We all deserve a little kindness, especially now!

ArtFight 2022! Team Bloom!

Posted 1 year, 9 months ago by Sweetspea

Oh goodness it’s that time of the year again, ArtFight!  The time where we all get together to try and spread some cheer and make someone’s day just a little bit better with some absolutely lovely gift art!

I had such a wonderful time last year as my first ever time trying ArtFight and I was so blown away and flattered by how many attacks I got!  Unfortunately at  the time I was stuck doing messy traditional doodles on the beach, but this year I come armed with new and approved digital works!

this year I plan to revenge absolutely everybody that passes my way, and I cannot wait to do some attacks of my own!  I’ll be prioritizing revenges but aaa there’s some designs out there I’m absolutely dying to do some gift art for!  I’ll be doing chibi fullbodies at the minimum, but I also plan to do some big detailed scenes, some animation practice with and without color, and even a little clay figurine or two!  I did clay work for years but haven’t touched it for a bit and gosh I thought it would just be such a lovely surprise for people!

Right now I’m leaning towards Team Bloom, but of course I never shy away from friendly fire no matter what I pick!  i also have maybe one or two more designs to upload but aaa here’s my lineup for this year! https://artfight.net/~Sweetspea

 The world is so crazy still for so many people, so I think giving people something to smile about now is more important than ever!  I love ArtFight for all of the joy it brings to everybody who participates, so please feel free to toss your AF accounts down below so I can bookmark some of your gorgeous designs!!  I hope everyone has a fantastic week now and y’all stay safe out there!

Pinglist and Upcoming TH Purge!

Posted 1 year, 11 months ago by Sweetspea

Edit: I got the dates of my graduation slightly off so this will now be on the 10-11th rather than the 8th!

Hey ya'll, I hope everyone's having just a lovely weekend and staying safe as always! It's been a bit before I've made a bulletin and aaaa a lot has changed! I graduated from undergrad, I got an amazing job and huge promotion, I've been branching out into trying to make some silly art for myself and others, and I'm going to be moving soon to begin my graduate studies at one of the top universities in my field! And you can probably see from the title of this bulletin what that means! Whenever there's a huge event in my life I tend to have less and less time for developing my designs and their silly ideas, and it makes me so sad to see so many absolutely gorgeous designs go unused with me. Artists work so hard to create these things, and I always try not to let them collect dust with me. Likewise, I haven't had the time to illustrate the ideas I have for other designs I love with all of my heart So I'll be doing another TH Purge starting May 10-11th, when I fly out to go to my graduation walk (so responses may be a little slow)! It will hopefully stay open for quite a bit as I really, really want to rehome quite a few of my darlings and replace them with new designs I have more ideas for, or art to add love to the designs I'll be forever homing, or anything else! But please keep in mind that not every single design in my TH will be open to offers, I will be going through and forever homing quite a lot of darlings and anybody with that tag will be off-limits to the purge and will most likely be off limits forever unless I offer them to you first! I know people usually like to get a bit of notice whenever I do one of these (and I usually try to do them one every 6 months or so), so here you go! I will also be reselling some designs which is very rare for me, and I may be giving some smaller ones away to loving homes for free! Every design will be FCFS and if I see an offer I really like I may or may not wait to consider other options, it all depends on if something really speaks to me! So please comment or DM me if you'd like to be pinged when I do post the purge, and you're also welcome to reach out to ask what I may be looking for for a certain design! Some designs will be prioritizing trades and some art and so on, it all depends! I may also have AB designs in mind for certain designs! I'll be going through in the next few days and fixing my tags as well as my preferences, so feel free to ask if a certain design will be included in the purge at all. If they're not being included, chances are they're forever homed! And that's that! Don't hesitate to reach out if I have a design you've really been dying for, because I may not do another one of these for a very long time and I'd hate for anybody to miss their chance! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend now and stay safe out there!

LF Procreate Advice

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago by Sweetspea

Hello hello everyone!!

As always I hope everyone’s doing well and staying safe out there!  And I hope nobody minds this little bulletin I’m tossing out there to the amazing art communities on Toyhouse!

After a long time of debating I’ve decided to jump headfirst into art again, and since college is coming up again anyhow I decided to get myself a new iPad Pro 12.9 inch with an Apple Pencil and procreate, just to get started with something I know a lot of people are comfortable using!!  I adore the program to bits, but of course I’m not a master of any sort right off the bat and I’m a tad lost on how to get started!  So I thought why not reach out to the amazing people here I’ve had the utmost privilege of getting to know over the years!

So please, help a tired college gal out!  I’d just love any advice or links to any tutorials at all or anything at all to help teach me!  I’m also not quite fond of any of the default brushes yet (although HB and 6B pencil are my mains so far, although I feel like I have to go through the lines a few times and god is bucket filling those spaces with color is hard!) so I’d love links to any premade brushes y’all especially enjoy, free or not!  I’ve obviously been a huge fan of art for so long but I’ve never had the opportunity myself to really dive into it, so I’m over the moon I get to do it now!  And my work may not be the best, or even good, but it’s mine and I’m gonna enjoy doing it and that’s all that matters!

Thank you all so darn much in advance!!  I know people get started at this so much younger than me, but better late to the party than never!  I want to make everyone awful little fanarts and doodles and ahh I can’t color or anything to save my life please help this clueless gal out so she can surprise people with silly fanart!!

Art Fight? Art Fight

Posted 2 years, 9 months ago by Sweetspea

Hello hello everyone!

First off I hope everyone's having a lovely and safe week as always, and I'm still slowly getting through all the offers from the Summer Clearout Event I had a few days back!  A few designs are still EO and I'm always accepting more messages whenever, ya'll know I never bite!

But ayyy I'm participating in Art Fight this year, finally!  I've been wanting to participate for years and I've finally gotten the time and the will to jump headfirst into it, and I hope to see all of you there!  This year has been hard on everyone, so lets spread some cheer and give some wonderful people some smiles by doodling their gorgeous darlings!

I'll be attacking absolutely everyone I can, and trying to attack back everyone who happens to take the time out of their day to doodle my darlings!  I'll be experimenting with all sorts of art forms this year to try and get the swing of making art again, so you can expect anything from digital art to traditional cutouts interacting with things on the beach (give me all of your sea-themed babies ahhh) to maybe even little ceramics!  

So come and swing by my Artfight here, and maybe even drop your own in the comments so I can come check out your gorgeous designs!  If anyone's curious what characters I'll specifically be uploading to AF this year you can find them all here, and I'm trying to get through uploading them and fiddling with the code on AF!  I hope to have some silly little fun profile templates done for the site too before the event starts on the 1st!

Team Cyberpunk wooo!!!  Good luck to absolutely everyone and I hope you all get a smile and some cheer out of this lovely event this year!!  Stay safe everyone and have a lovely day/night, and as always my inbox is always open to ya'll <3

Character Offers Always Welcome!

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Sweetspea

I've gotten a few PMs about this recently so I just wanted to go ahead and say that my characters are always open to be offered on, because I adore seeing everybody's gorgeous art and designs and I'd hate for anybody to feel hesitant to ask about a trade if I have a design they've just been dreaming of!

However, I'm not actively looking to get rid of any characters unless they've been tagged as 'trade', so a lot of the designs I have are very tentative and very well loved!  Some may be forever-homed or unable to be traded, but if anybody encounters those it's no problem whatsoever and I'll just let you know!  Please never hesitate to reach out to me either here or on DA, wherever you feel the most comfortable.  Messages asking about designs in my possession never bother me whatsoever, just be aware that I'm incredibly picky when it comes to art/designs for trade, especially if it's for a character of mine you see has a lot of extra art!

Hope everyone has a lovely day/night!
