Just a little update abt my OCs on Art Fight!

Since the sight has a tendency to go down due to the amount of traffic early on in the event, I've added a tag to all my OCs here who are on AF so you can find them/their refs when the site is down!

If I end up adding any more OCs to AF throughout July (not super likely but hey u never know lol), I'll be sure to tag them as such on here!

Art Fight OC Tag!

Shroomin'!

Hi everybody!! 

I just got a new character that I'm very very excited abt!! But since she's based on a pre-existing media character (if u don't know already u all get One Guess lmao) and I've seen people run into problems w/ those kinds of chars before, she's currently on authorized view only.

I have no problem if u wanna be authorized! This one character is the only authorized-exclusive thing I have on here atm, but who knows what may come in the future! So if u wanna be authorized to see this stuff (and if I haven't authorized u already) just leave a comment or otherwise lemme know and I'll be happy to let u in!! :D

I love me a good OC questionnaire prompt!! So when I saw a couple people I follow doin it, I decided to as well even tho I've done things like this before haha 

1.) Which of your characters represent you the most?

Shep! He's my main mans :]

2.) Which of your characters represents you the least?

Mm, a lot of my older WoF OCs  aren't like super connected to me anymore other than Vostok, they're all just kinda doin their own thing

3.) What is your favorite design you made?

Oh boy I have so many I'm rlly fond of. Ig some of my tops would be PBnJ, Rhazz, Doppler and Luau.

4.) What is your favorite design you own?

In addition to the previous one, of designs that aren't mine, I rlly like Moxie, Magma and Foxtrot.

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

Dreamies aren't rlly my thing bc I don't wanna like, encroach on other peoples' OCs, but I'd love to get a design by JuniorPaws someday, I love their work sm omg

6.) What is your most prized achieved dreamie?

See above </33

7.) What is your oldest character?

Vostok by a fairly large margin aha, I made him way back in either late February or early March of 2017

8.) What is your newest character?

That would be a tie between Rye and Pumpernickel, since I made them both on the same day last August, so they're twins both canonically and IRL lol. I'll be getting a new OC soon tho   

9.) Favorite feral character you own?

I gotta be predictable and say Moxie, I love her sm she's such a comfort OC   

10.) Favorite human(oid) character you own?

I don't have any human-ish characters lmao

11.) Favorite anthro character you own?

Shep, PB and Luau are all a contender for that spot, tho if it came down to it, it'd probably be Shep on top

12.) First original species character you obtained?

I've never really been into original species but depending on what definition u use, there's a few answers. If WoF fantribes count, I had an OC named Valravn from the WoF fantribe DreadWings AGES ago who's long since vanished from the face of the earth. Otherwise, my oldest current fantribe OC would be Galeforce. Outside of fantribes, the first of the two OCs that are from more or less fully original species is Isaac!

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

Aside from New OC Coming Soon To A Theater Near You, I have been thinking abt Rye and Pumpernickel so much lately

15.) What character holds the most $$$ value?

I don't keep track of that but it would most likely be either Vostok, just by sheer amount of art, or Shep bc I've gotten some pretty good comms of him. Doppler and Rhazz also have had some decent money spent on art of them as well

16.) What character has the most art?

Again, Vostok, just bc I had him as my main sona for so long, especially while I was on the staff team for WoFA

17.) What character has the most favorites?

That would be Pebble, tho that's mainly just bc he was owned by a much larger account before I got him

18.) Any characters you co-own?

Nah

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

Why must you make me choose like this? </33 I'd have to keep Shep I think

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

In addition to all my WoF OCs, Spatter is a Goodra :]

21.) Your smartest character?

Probably Doppler since he's a weather science mans hehe

22.) Your clumsiest character?

South, pure of heart and small of brain bc he's young

23.) Your evilest character?

Probably Chernobyl but I'm not sure I'd call him evil, just kinda stalwart, ig?

24.) Your sweetest character?

Rhazz or Luau, they're both the sweetest kids u will ever meet

25.) Do you have a season/holiday themed character?

None really, I like to keep my characters a bit more general in terms of theme. Luau is kinda summery tho

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

Mm, really just Galeforce atm but I've been thinking abt maybe putting Foxtrot, Sunrise and Tōhoku up for offers since I rlly don't use any of them much

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

Character names are something I rlly love picking so a lot of my OCs have names I like a lot! Some of my favs are Moxie, Magma, Kwaro, Wanderlust, and Eejanaika!

28.) Which character have you drawn most?

Shep ofc (currently at least)! He's got almost 150 pieces in his gallery, but overall, I've probably drawn Vos the most just bc I've had him for so long lol

29.) Any hybrid characters?

A bunch of WoF OCs are tribe hybrids, and then Pebble is a Husky/Samoyed mix if that counts haha

30.) Your most unique character?

Hm, I'd say probably Doppler, since I've never rlly seen anyone else make an OC with the same gimmick. I've seen slightly similar concepts but never done in the same way

I'm seein people do this on here atm and I always adore peoples' thoughts abt my OCs so I wanted to pose the question too!

Ignore the fact that I ask this on my Insta story all the time lmao, and feel free to answer here even if u tend to respond there as well!

If u wanna explain why a specific OC is your fav/among ur favs, you're more than welcome/encouraged to do so, but you don't absolutely need to by any means!

I'll also respond to ur comment with my favs of ur OCs bc I like seeing other peoples' funky little characters [appreciative] and I wanna return the good vibes :]

See them all here!: https://toyhou.se/Tacoma/characters

U should totally check out Barry if u haven’t already bc they make absolute banger content /pos

1. Who was your very first human / anthro / feral sona?

My first feral sona was Vostok, made in late Jan/early Feb of 2017, and my first anthro sona was Spatter, made in July of 2019!

2. Which sona has been redesigned the most / has the most iterations?

That would probably be Vostok, since I've had him for so long (which will be a running theme of answers lol). He's had a lot of, sort of, revitalizations, but never a full redesign

3. Which sona has the most art?

Once again, that would be Vostok lol, currently at 191 pieces (which doesn't include a lot of SUPER old traditional art that I never wanted to upload), although Shep is catching up fairly quckly!

4. Did you design any sonas in mind to specifically be a sona, or have your sonas been happy accidents?

Spatter and Shep were both designed to be sonas, Vostok and PBnJ moreso just kinda fell into the role lol

5. Do you have any physical items of your sonas? (e.g. pins, stickers, plushies)

I have art my friends have drawn of all my sonas on several t-shirts, but nothing of them specifically (though I would very much like to get some at some point hehe)

6. Do you have any retired sonas?

Ah yes, that would be Doppler. Once I started moving away from both WoF and wanting a career in weather, I eventually demoted him back down to a primary OC

7. How many of your sonas were designed by you?

All of them! As much as I love my OCs designed by others, I tend to be very picky about designs that aren't made for me specifically, so I don't usually adopt other characters in the first place. Additionally, I find that I tend to connect better to characters I've designed myself haha

8. Have you had any sonas that you traded away?

Nope, all my sonas, both past and present, still belong to me ^^

9. How many sonas do you have?

4 at the moment! Though I have thought about possibly promoting some more at some point, particularly Luau, Moxie and/or Rhazz

10. Which sona do you think is the one most commonly associated with you?

At the moment, I would say Shep since he's my main and most front-and-center sona, for a long time it was probably Vostok since that was my online name for like 4 years lol

11. Would you ever want to dress up / cosplay / fursuit any of your sonas?

I am Looking discreetly at Shep and PB

12. Have any of your sonas never been redesigned?

Kinda going off the second response, none of them have ever gone through a full redeisgn, but all of them have had minor design updates and touchups over time ^^
