Woah!! Your toyhouse is so creative, and I love the shading & colors of everything! I just wanted to say this cuz Its just so awesome! :3
Hi Tere! I love your art it's beautiful! You're a huge inspiration to me and encourage me to keep drawing! I recently got Paint Tool SAI and want to start making drawings there, but I can't find any brush textures or anything like that (I mean the part that says "Simple Circle" and no texture), and I'd love to use some! Could you recommend the ones you use? Or any nice ones you've found? I've been looking, but I just don't like how the ones I find look in my drawings! Thanks so much! 🫶🌟
OWAAA THANK YOUUU!!! that really means a lot to me!! also your art has improved so much since the last time I saw it! c:
honestly I don't use much textured brushes in my art, these are still my main 3 brushes xD (the 3rd one is the only textured brush I actively use most of the time)
whenever I do want a textured brush, I just scroll through all of them and test them one by one until I find one that fits the drawing fjkdfjd
but maybe these will interest you!! I think Acrylic works nicely for most textured surfaces, and I also like Bumpy specifically for painting clouds
sorry it isn't much, but I really don't use textured brushes that much T-T
I'd say the best thing you can do is experiment and see what works best for your own art! you might even end up finding a really unique way to use textures that I never would've thought of :D
Hi Terenry!! I have a question for you about your animations :d Roughly how long after you started drawing did you begin trying to make animations, or did you start trying to do them alongside regular drawing from the very beginning? Sorry if this is a common question I couldn't find an answer to it in the comments ;-
Hihi!! no worries at all! this actually reminded me that I need to renew my Carrd subscription and update the FAQ section xD but I don't mind explaining!
I actually started experimenting with animation around 2011–2012 with a program called RealWorld Cursor Editor
at first I just wanted to make a custom cursor, but then I realized, wait.. I can animate ANYTHING with this?? so I ended up making whole animated stories (sadly I don't have those files anymore ;_;)
then I moved to RealWorld Paint, which was my first drawing program, and I was also able to make animations in there
later around 2013–2014, I switched to Paint Tool SAI for drawing, and started editing my animations in Camtasia Studio 7, and a year later in Sony Vegas
I actually made a video showing my animation improvement over the years if you're curious! :3 https://youtu.be/O2U95lZccVg
heyo i'm just wanna say u really so freakin cool
i love ur designs, ocs, animations and many more THIS IS SO GORGEOUS OMG and this got me too many inspiration...
Hey Tere,I just drew Zuki but blueOwo
Im planning to make a gift for you that I'll post in the future someday:3
And I also hope your condition is in a good shape

Hi Terenry!! I really want to know, have you ever been to Japan? :D I know that you traveled a couple of years ago when you were dating Elmira, but I don't know exactly where you went.It's just that I see how much you are inspired by the Japanese theme—for example, you draw narrow streets. Have you ever wanted to walk through the kinds of places you base your drawings on? What would that be like? :зз
oo I haven't :0 !! the trip you're thinking of was around Europe
but I'd love to visit Japan someday and other countries of East Asia :3
If I ever got the chance to walk through places like the ones I draw, I imagine I'd stop every few minutes to take reference photos and admire even the smallest details
honestly, it's out of my reach right now, but maybe in a few years I'll be able to save up enough
I'm pretty sure the japanese stationery stores alone would financially ruin me xD
Can I make some Waru contents and post them just for fun, just asking for permission cause it would be rude if I don't
hi tere! ,may i perhaps ask a aquestion? i wanted to know, where did you start at art? its just that your art is really inspiring and i want to draw!, but most things i draw don't end up as expected :/
hey! yeah of course ^^
honestly, I started pretty much the same way most people do, just drawing a lot and figuring things out as I went
my early drawings definitely didn't turn out how I wanted either;; that's a really normal part of it
I mostly improved my art through observation and practice, I've been drawing for many years now, and I still think there's a lot of things I can improve on
if you keep drawing consistently, you will see improvement, even if it feels slow at first :3
yeah sure! the Underground story is a collaborative project with my friend, so I don't want to expand it too much without working on it together
we've been discussing the introduction of new characters and a bit of the worldbuilding, but didn't write anything official yet
but we definitely have future plans for these characters, including a collab animated music video!
Last Progress in 2029 ye... WHAT?!
Do you live in 2029 or is it your mistake? XD
Or did you just leave it in as an Easter egg? :D
thanks for the heads-up! I've actually noticed this as well and been meaning to address it, but I just haven't had the time to make a proper post yet
at first, I didn't fully understand how these AI chatbots work, but after learning how predatory and harmful these sites are, I definitely don't want my art being associated with them in any way
as for the Pinterest uploads, is it someone actively reuploading all my art, or just some random images, can you share more about it?
Guess who’s here to annoy you again? haha
Was wondering if there’s any characters in specific you would like drawn or have just been thinking about / working on recently? i would love to work on drawing furries/animals again :’0
oosjhkds that's so nice!!
honestly feel free to pick whoever you like xD but if anything, I've been giving a bit more of attention to my character R-Tea! https://toyhou.se/2438589.r-tea
(I still gotta post some concept arts I've been working on)
but it can also be any other characters from their world/story :3 https://toyhou.se/2438589.r-tea/links
oh yeah, I've mentioned before that it's actually just for stylistic choice, as I like to experiment how characters would look like wearing different clothes or doing certain actions that would feel off on their quadrupedal form, so I quite like to have that flexibility with my characters
but for the most part, the original form from their reference sheet remains canon!
Terenry you’re genuinely so cool and such a skilled artist 😭 Youre the type of artist that i come back to every few years and get inspired all over again… i love that ur considerate enough to put ur unlisted vids in a playlist too TwT like ur so passionate and draw simply cause you love to i feel like- and you’re so mysterious I really admire how you keep the focus on your art and let the work speak for itself 😭😭 (or maybe im just dumb and cant navigate social media at all lmao) LIKE YOU’RE SO DISTANT AND PROFESSIONAL BUT THAT’S SO COOL but yeah i always enjoy your art sm thank u for still being around :’)) i watched ur venom amv in quarantine and that’s how i got into animation memes then also lead into jp internet culture and discovered all sorts of things i love… thank u for being apart of my childhood… (how is your toyhouse literally a website of it’s own-??)
DFKLJFD woaa thank you so much for such a kind message??
it really means a lot that my work had that impact on you
even if the unlisted vids don't really reflect the current focus of my work, I still appreciate my old animations as a reminder of how far I've come :D
And I'm honestly glad this is the image you have of me as an artist, like being professional and mysterious in a cool way, rather than just me being an anxious mess ahah
I guess it's one of the reasons why I don't share details about my personal life, since lately I've been feeling a bit disconnected and unsatisfied with my art
so hearing your words of encouragement made me feel a lot more confident in my work and reminded me of the passion I have for creating
so thank you for leaving this comment at the right time
I've been a bit inactive lately, but I'm definitely thinking of posting again soon! :]
Tere! The Bluestar MAP you participated in got finally completed 10 years later! Although they accidentally used the first part you've done instead of the remake. Still, it's nice to see so many old art styles and compare them with the current ones 🥹 https://youtu.be/jRLb9vgnzMU?si=w9d5JLHKgKlPco15
OHHH I SAW !!! this totally caught me by surprise xD
watching the complete MAP and recognizing the parts from years ago really brought a lot of good memories
I remember replaying those parts over and over, and finally seeing it all come together was so beautiful!! my young self is full of joy rn xD
and aaa honestly I don't mind about the old part, a lot has happened during all these years, and I also wasn't following the MAP progress closely to share my part was unlisted
but it's alright, the nostalgia filter makes it up for me :"D
Yooo, hi Tere! I came across a YouTube video this week from six years ago (These YouTube recommendations are amazing...). Basically, it said you were from Salta, Argentina. Is that really true? :3
I am!! are you also from there? :D
I did a few events with my art in my city back in the past, but ever since the pandemic hit, I haven't had much opportunities to do so
Wow!!! It's actually amazing how all people are scattered around the world, sometimes it's even mesmerizing... And no, I'm not from Argentina (although I would really love to visit there). I'm from Russia :3
ahh that's cool! surprisingly I have quite a few fellow Russian fans following me, statistics don't lie xD
hopefully, I'll get the chance to attend more conventions around the world in the future, I'm working on building my merch this year ^-^
What surprised me even more was how long you've known Elmira and her level of English. I mean, judging by when you uploaded 'Random Things,' she was like 13, and you were literally talking on Skype.. :0 (I only started seriously learning English at 17, LOL)
Your own merch?! :0 WOW!! THAT'S SO COOL!!!! What's going to be included? Posters, clothes, plushies of your characters? Either way, I wish you success with this!!! I can't wait to see what kind of merch you'll create, and I hope I'll be able to buy some!! :D
that's interesting!! I imagine a good part of my Russian fanbase comes from my friend elmira xD
even then, our English was really basic, I needed to use the translator all the time haha, but that was enough to chat for hoursss
and yess!! I've made stickers and keychains so far, but I'd like to expand to stationery and order sketchbooks/ washi tapes/ sticky notes etc!
HELLO TERE, I have been wondering… apart from jazz, what music do you listen to? I’ve been watching your speedpaints for like. 6 years? now? ish? Which is insane to me HAHA and the music really influenced my taste, and i’d like to expand on that :D
(also if it wouldn’t be that much of a hassle, can you drop some recs or music you’ve been listening to recently?)
And totally unrelated, but have you decided on the MBTIs of some of your OCs?
HIHII, oOO it is surprising to hear that people appreciate my speedpaints for the music, I always try to pick songs that reflect what I'm drawing / inspired me in the first place, so it means a lot to know people notice
even if these don't get much attention as the animations, I still put some love and effort into these :"D
and uhhh honestly, I haven't been listening to a ton of different genres lately, in the end it always circles back to jazz in some way ahha
but if I had to pick something completely different, I guess I should mention I'm a big Unlike Pluto fan LOL
I've animated a few of his songs already, and I can always relate / get inspired from his music!!
if you're into electronic/ alt rock you may enjoy it
it's hard to pick just a few songs cuz honestly he never misses, but here's a few I enjoy frequently:
- Thread https://youtu.be/T5acaiBKKCc
- Letting Go https://youtu.be/vBWRr0V7anY
- Clone Army https://youtu.be/GTvfWxqQo18
- Whisper to Me https://youtu.be/wuggDIT4H64
- Paranoia https://youtu.be/Sb68546hR00
also, since I don't listen to many singers often, I may also recommend INO hidefumi, I get this melancholic/nostalgic sound from his music, and it's always a breath of fresh air to discover a more experimental type of music
here's a few songs I like:
- FUTASHIKANA SEKAI https://youtu.be/SqWI4TJ2Sdw
- MAN AND DOG https://youtu.be/0rvbr4l_cnI
- CAN'T SLEEP https://youtu.be/u_Kvs9yW_hA
- FUKYO WAON https://youtu.be/bzEw5SfbJb0
- Miracle Of Rendez-vous https://youtu.be/pVTiav7eEUU
(I just really like the sound of the Rhodes piano, so honorable mention to this album too https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1DbbyshAJOskxVjkEqh5ffOXfcB0EsZE)
This next artist is kinda jazzy tho, but it also has this ambient music vibe to it? been really enjoying this mellow type of music, especially when I'm just chilling :]
there aren't many songs, so I'll just link to the full albums
- Horizon https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k9eRmFobMp13E85acbcO6cZq4owt0lYq4
- Resavoir https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nPketQlN8P6ofA1RpygM8PLoxS3VN1rg8&si=vtRG_LhnC9665Kkn
- Resavoir 2 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kMvrHggnWqRsLpWwL5gk62_9YtDX_3vDw&si=2beRM5Eu-jljLFCN
they're not many music artist, but I hope you can enjoy some of them!
as for the last question, I really haven't yet, but I'll keep this idea in mind for when I update my OCs profiles :3
THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M TOTALLY GONNA GIVE THESE A LISTEN HGDJHFD!!! To be honest I find myself gravitating towards your speedpaints the most in your channel, I guess it's really interesting to see the creative process of other artists, especially those who specialise in backgrounds and environments... I can totally learn a lot ^^ Also, I was browsing around on your Patreon a bit ago and saw the update post--- it's extremely common for artists to fall into a creative slump but it can be real hard to get out of it :'D I've been in one myself and am in one right now, so I can speak from experience haha, but I hope you've found a spark anew? Your art is really charming and I can't help but circle back to it myself even if I don't focus on drawing animals/furries anymore ^-^ Don't be afraid to experiment in your art and draw things you usually wouldn't, it can really help! Hoping things have been kinder to you recently as well :-) You've got this!
(ps: have you listened to yellow magic orchestra before? their songs might divert a bit from your tastes but some of them have quite a jazzy/electronic feel and have a lot of instrumentals in albums)
uEHAHS that's so sweet of you to say!!!
artistic burnout is so real and it hits hard <//3 I think there were many factors that contributed to it, but once I realized, it was already too late
but I've been focusing more on taking care of myself lately, and I can feel the spark coming back little by little :D
and YESS!! I might have listened to Yellow Magic Orchestra music before, but I didn't remember them by their name
I definitely went through a Japanese pop music phase xD there's just something about that 70's/80's music sound that feels so magical, and now that you mentioned it, I've been absolutely binging CASIOPEA's music too SJKDf
here's my favs!!!
- Once In A Blue Moon https://youtu.be/SoQ6CSy_d2c (speedpaint soon lol)
- Take Me https://youtu.be/ZNL1qYk06mE
- Midnight Rendezvous https://youtu.be/4Hvvltt7d-U
- Dazzling https://youtu.be/Ufvbtb5PzjU
- Tokyo Sunset https://youtu.be/I_cx-uJZ1fs
also I just unlocked the name of another band I haven't listened to in a while, I completely forgot I animated to one of their songs!!
you've probably noticed how much I love TRI4TH in my speedpaints haha, if you're a fan of the trumpet-heavy sound in TRI4TH, you might enjoy Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra as well!
here's a few more songs I like:
- Beautifully Burning Forest: https://youtu.be/yxYRJEeN6Gg
- Peeled Orange: https://youtu.be/55Qv-CuDl-4
- Lupin the Third ’78 https://youtu.be/5L_za-lHoEA
- The Pretender https://youtu.be/KSHAZaBhEcI
- Ocean To Ocean https://youtu.be/S2mBx9VSkHM
thank you for the recommendation anyway, I unlocked some forgotten songs because of it :33
I'm so glad to hear you've been regaining that spark and taking care of yourself hehe, and AAAHH OF COURSE YOU KNOW YMO YOUR MUSIC TASTE IS IMPECCABLE HAHAH I've been meaning to listen to Casiopea for a bit now so this served as the perfect reminder and nudge to do so! I'll certainly take the other recommendations into account too, I absolutely love ska, jazz, and the like. I'M GLAD I UNLOCKED THE FORGOTTEN SONGS TOO HAHA (and I'm so looking forward to that speedpaint :0!!!!)
I should probably also ask, where do you find new music? I’ve been on Chosic creating playlists and finding recommendations there, but none of the music really tickles my fancy haha
HAHEHE I'M GLAD!!!
tbh I find my music purely through YouTube recommendations LOL I sometimes check on the auto-generated "Mix" playlists to find similar songs!
I also used a site to find similar artists through a music map, I think it was this one https://www.musicroamer.com/player
but I guess it's similar to Chosic xD
Hello. Am i allowed to draw some of your ocs for free? Im new at drawing and need some practice. I really love your character designs.
ooh of course!! feel free to draw any of my characters :D
I'd be happy to see what you come up with!
okay, how can i send it to you, when its done? Do you have a discord server (Pls say yes )
Hello Terenry! It's Esquete from DA xdxd! I have a question for you if you don't mind answering. Am I allowed to make a RandomThings inspired series with my friend? We both love the series but you stopped posting on it... so me and him had the random spark of idea to make our own series basing off of our chats together!! I really do appreciate if you read this ;3!!!
Heyo it's me again,I just want to show you my Fanart for your OC:3
(I still don't know how to comment Pictures)
Finally got a TH account so I can subscribe to you!! The latest AMV was genuinely amazing — totally worth waiting a year for! I really love your artworks — they leave me SPEECHLESS… Your OC lore is amazing, too! Thank you for existing XD
(sorry, I’m not very familiar with English!)
If Zeki has a steampunk sort of aesthetic going on, does that mean the world-building would be based on 19th-century American or English architecture?
edit: also quick question. If I do end up developing that AU storyline would you be interested in hearing about it.
definitely leaning more into the English/Victorian industrialism, but instead of steam powered, it would be time crystals lol
honestly I'm such a sucker for Victorian architecture too, I need to draw them in background more often
I think once the world building's more developed, it could even be its own thing, kind of like how there's cyberpunk and steampunk a bunch of other -punk genres
something like Crystalpunk :P
and yeah! would be nice to hear about your AU storyline if you decide to develop it, I'm super curious to see where you take it
Neat! I'll def like to see a crystal punk world. Also, is there multiple timelines or is it a situation where whatever timeline he's in, it overwrites the last?
I haven't fully set in stone the concepts of the timeline mechanics, since I wanted to put a bit more of a complex thought into it but I'm too dumb LOL
but what I got so far is that time crystals can be used to restore a certain point in history and somehow alter the chain of events to create a new timeline, so there's actually multiple timelines, and i'd say it's a mix of both, like a multi-timeline kind of situation?
and since Zekki's timeline kind of "resets" and becomes corrupted due to the paradox, it's kinda like each reset causes a chain reaction that destabilizes all the previous timelines, hence the retrocasuality effect of time crystals
also without the power of time crystals fully restored, he can't really travel between timelines
there is a set of events that make Zekki realize that he isn't in the "main" timeline, but still gotta work on that plot twist part of the story
"Since I wanted to put a bit more of a complex thought into it but I'm too dumb LOL" YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THAT. It's why I haven't done much research for my post-apocalypse sorta storyline. I still have no idea how my characters put on clothes without making them sorta anthro. I really like your idea! I'd like to say more, but I'm busy with studying rn. Anyway, it's good I learn more about how your world works, cause of the AU I wanted to work on. It seems like your explanation falls in line with what I wanted to do, so yay it works out. The name of the AU guy I showed you is Kizuu. I decided that his story revolves around fixing the holes in the fabric of space in time. He has a sort of seamstress theme going on. Since his body is a mix of both Zekki and Zukki, I'm thinking the universe can sense something wrong, and his body is constantly fighting itself. He has crystals growthes all over his body at times, and the only way to mend his body is to restore every timeline back to normal. (like a prism crystal) So basically, he needs to stop Zukki and Zekki from fighting. Of course, I want the story to be more than that, so it's not a rehash of your work. I was thinking it would be a psychological horror focusing on his deteriorating psyche. I'd love to learn more about Zukki and who he was before everything happened. I wonder if Zukki comes from a different timeline like the 90s or what. Alsooo, I gotta know if you're planning on making another video like "everything black" again.
WAHSJA you've got a point too, I usually try not to stress too much about my characters wearing clothes as feral, I just assume it's normal in their universe
nowadays the terms are vaguely used to describe four or two-legged characters, but the anatomy resembling more animal or human parts can vary depending on the artist, like how some draw anthros with more human-like hands, but personally, I prefer when they're designed to be more animal-like
sometimes I might just switch between feral/anthro whenever it's convenient, since I like my story/designs to have that kind of flexibility
speaking of which, I just recently designed anthro clothes for Zukii and Zekki >:3
and ooo Kizuu sounds so interesting !!
poor little guy dealing with the consequences of my reckless boys </3
it's also cool that you're taking it in a direction that let's you explore your own concepts, while still working out seamlessly with the established tone of the story
I LOVE the psychological horror concept, no one is mentally stable in this story lolol
As for Zukki, I think he's mostly just a regular guy in the early 2000's, he's from the same timeline as Zekii, just from a future time!
Zukii got his own struggles, but still gotta figure that out
both of them are probably as mentally unstable wahjsa but Zukii is better at hiding his feelings
it hurts them both, but at the same time, they kinda need each other?
maybe it's something more complex, like a memory from another version of himself that haunts him
could be really trippy if Zukki starts questioning his own identity at some point, like "was I always supposed to be here? what happened to the version of me that wasn't so broken?" like some kind of premonition to the paradox thing
And a follow-up video to Everything Black YEAHH
the closest project I have to a successor right now is my Lost My Mind AMV that focuses on E.B backstory, I have it fully storyboarded, I just have to work on it xD
I finished this one scene and then completely abandoned it,,, but this time I really wanna push myself and go beyond Everything Black
Waaaaa, that makes me genuinely happy to hear! thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy my silly OC lore as much as I do lolol
And that's not a pressure question at all, actually I love hearing that people have favorites from my OCs! ;0; I was super flattered that Illu was gaining some more popularity recently wjassh
buT !! UUUHGHUHH YEAH, I've had a few AMV ideas swirling around for Dizu,, Binomi and Butcher Vanity I'M LOOKING AT YOU
I swear one day they will be a reality </3
but for now I'm just over here grinning knowing that my hungry murder-cannibal wolf has some loyal fans >:3
WAHH I LOVE YOUR DESIGNSS! I was just chilling until I saw your page! Your designs are cool!! I'm a new fan ^^
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERE !!! May you have an amazing day today, I wish everything of great to you! Keep being the awesome artist that you are, you really deserve a lot!! Congratulations <33 (my gift isn't ready yet unfortunately jgjdkd so sorry xd)
Happy Birthday Tere:3 (I wanna share my gift which is a Fanart but I low-key don't know how to send images here)
Edit:(https://ibb.co/BVvzt5Rh) I still don't know how to send images but I want to show this
Hi! You’re a big inspo for me. I was wondering how you draw so much!? What are your tips for staying focused on a drawing, and how do you draw so fast?
Hi!! aaa thank you so much, that means a lot to hear
to be honest, I don't feel like I draw as much, and my process still has a lot of room for improvement
I wouldn't say I'm particularly fast at drawing, but I've built a workflow that feels natural to me
once you find techniques that work for you and keep practicing them, you'll be able to speed up the process over time
As for staying focused, it can be a real struggle sometimes
but I usually try to break drawings into small steps/stages, (like spending a couple of days on sketching, then a few on coloring, and the next for rendering, etc) so even if it's small, I'm keeping consistent progress every day
+ listening to music or watching other people draw in the background helps me stay focused :D
I hope that helps a bit!
I kind of just started drawing on my own! I've always been an artsy person and began with traditional painting since my childhood and slowly moved towards digital tools
artists like Fierying, TheCynicalHound, and LupisVulpes were huge inspirations when I first started exploring digital drawing
but nowadays, I'm inspired by lots of the artists I follow and my own interests, and honestly, the support from my community really keeps me motivated to keep creating :]
Same! I loved to draw as a kid. Warrior cat artists inspired me the most but then you came and encouraged me to improve :DD Thanks for sharing ^W^
hehe that's nice! :3
Warrior Cats MAPs actually inspired me to start animating too!
at the time I didn't know it was a book series, I just thought the cat animations were super cool xD
but it got me into the whole online animation community!
it really means a lot when someone says I inspired them to start drawing, because I was also a small artist once constantly looking up to people who made me want to improve
HEHE SO COOL!! I really like how you included the primary colors on his design, as opposed to Zukii's CMY palette
and how the markings are similar to Zekki's too, like they're symbolically opposed but still connected
it's simple but yet a very thoughtful design :]
Thank you!! I'm so glad you noticed those details! I have one question, though. Would this be my own character to post art under, as in have his toyhouse profile under my account? Or would he technically be yours since you created him first?
It's technically still my character, since it's based on the foundation of an existing OC I created, but the redesign and interpretation may be credited to you!
as I mentioned, as long as you're not claiming the original character as entirely your own, it's all good by me
but I wouldn't make a profile for him
YEAH SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!!
sometimes,, you just have to lock in lOL
but for real, a complex scene drawing can take me various weeks, the best method is to divide it in different stages like I mentioned in this previous comment, one for sketches, another for lineart, another for colors, another for rendering
I don't worry too much about how long it will take, but rather staying consistent and making progress bit by bit
for personal projects like that, I tend to build the schedule/stages as I go, because sometimes you don't really know how long something will take
and honestly it's not uncommon for me to lose motivation and leave a piece sitting half-finished for months, I just wrapped up a drawing I started back in October last year haha
so yeah, it happens :S
but I hope that gives you an idea!
i forgot to ask but can i animate your ocs for a map part? i was gonna add credit but forgot to ask you just incase
i got a question... do your characters have multiple languages cannon within the world building? or did you simply just throw in whatever language into whatever scene you were working on? 

honestly I didn't think too deep into it xD
it's a little random depending on the context, especially since the AMV is full of references (like the images you listed), so there isn't much consistency in that sense
but if I decide to flesh out the world/story more seriously, it'd be interesting to develop more specific languages, especially to reflect the cultures or regions more distinctly!
sup sup!! any solution for making gifs without trash quality? it's wrecking all the shading aaAAAÆE
uhh uh this might be due to the dithering settings! depending on what program you're using to export your GIFs, you might be able to choose between different dither types
and also make sure you're using the higher color depth, GIFs are limited to 256 colors, so there'll always be some color loss, especially with gradients
Alternatively, you could try rendering it as an APNG (Animated PNG) which is a lossless format and will preserve the original quality, although not every site supports this format
but hope this helps! :]
I really like your art, you draw it very amazingly but there is one thing that you rarely do, which is comics, your world building is very cool! So why don't you try making a comic with your world building? so people can better understand the characters and world you create or you can make a silly comics just for entertainment purpose!
hehe thank you for your interest! I've had a few comic concepts in my mind for a while, but honestly I'm a bit worried about keeping up with consistency if I were to make a comic series
and I still have no idea how to format things properly, and I can be a bit clumsy with dialogue ^~^
that's why I prefer to share my stories through animation, but that's definitely something I'd like to dive into eventually! the idea of a small comic sounds nice
that's understandable, it's true that making comics is not easy and it takes patience to make an interesting and enjoyable story. but i've seen some of your short comics before and they were really fun and funny to read! haha.
Good luck in diving into your comics Terenry! (if you want to try).
I just found an old unfinished comic!!
I was thinking about your comment, and I was convinced I had tried to make a comic before, but I couldn't find it,, I had to dig through a lot of folders lol but I wanted to share them with you!
This comic was meant to be printed as free samples for a Comic Con I participated in years ago, but I never got around to releasing it

It's just a fun, silly comic about Koma enjoying all the food in the city xD
There's even an older one that was supposed to be a whole manga chapter on the prologue of Xin's backstory, thing is I had a deadline and ended up dropping it because I knew I wasn't going to finish on time
The only thing missing in them is the dialogue, can you tell I'm not very good at it haha
But I'm probably going to give it another go to comics after all :D
I've seen the comic in the first picture but I've never seen the second one, and it's enough to entertain me with how you tell the story and coupled with your beautiful art, it makes me happy to see it! haha :D
well even though it's not that perfect but this is enough to start a story and if you keep trying to develop it again this will be a story that attracts people's attention especially with your art style! and actually making a comic doesn't always have to be perfect, just an interesting, unique and different story is enough to make people curious and interested in continuing to read the comic, plus a good art style, of course.
If you want to try making comics, I recommend you learn from Japanese mangaka and look for references on various platform sources.
And thank you for sharing your work Sensei! And sorry for the looong text ehe
I... am so in love with your shading... can you make a mini tutorial on how you do it? - I have my own way of shading but I always wanted to know how you do yours ;'0 (sorry if i'm bothering you)
skdjk of course!! I have explained my shading process before
basically, I use 3 tones, dark, mid, and light shades
I use mid tones for the base color of the shading, add depth/details with dark tones (usually around the edges) and add some lights in like the outer parts of the shading to create a smoother transition between the base shading
something like this!
you can achieve this with different brushes, depending on the shading style you're going for
for example, I like to use a brush with higher dilution to get a painterly look 
in the Cel example I used 2 layers for the dark and mid tones (lowering the the opacity of the second shading layer)
while on the Painted one I can get all 3 tones in 1 layer, just controlling the brush pressure
Hope that helps! :D
yass thanks!!l also... wich pencil do you used do this lines?

Hi Terenry! I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your work! The art, animation, design, etc. are all absolutely amazing. But I was wondering if you ever get so tired and frustrated working on a project that you don't feel like activating and just laze around all day. If so, what do you do about it?
Sorry if this weird question to you, you are my favorite artist haha.
Waa thank you so much!! that means a lot to me, and I'm really glad you enjoy my work
I recently saw the art you made for Kurai, and I absolutely love how stylized and expressive your style is ;v; !!
And that's not a weird question at all, it's super relatable sjksjk I definitely have days where I feel totally drained or unmotivated
if there's a project/work I really need to finish, something that has helped me to be more productive is setting small manageable goals each day so you don't overwork yourself, I use a calendar app to stay organized, this one! https://www.xdiarys.com
what I usually do is schedule my to-do list based on different stages, for example, dedicate one day to finishing 3 sketches, the next day to line art, and another day for coloring
this way, you can break down the work into steps instead of trying to finish a full piece every day, which can get overwhelming, here's an example of what the schedule would look like:
you can customize the color of the cells, Green is for regular tasks, Red for important tasks, and Grey for unfinished tasks. If I fail to complete a task I usually re-schedule it for the next day/s, you don't have to be extra strict though
(it has a very satisfying ding sound when you mark the task as finished xD)
also, setting specific days for personal art helps a lot! for example, you could dedicate weekends just for personal projects, so it doesn't interfere with your main workload
it's really important to take care of your health as well, especially when you're handling this kind of workload, so remember to take breaks and give yourself some time to recharge
I personally like taking my time for personal projects, like animations, that's why I haven't uploaded anything for over 8 months, but I just recently came back from my hiatus and I'm ready to work on my next project again :]
so please don't push yourself too hard!
I hope that helps!
Wow that's so.. Very useful tips from you, Thank you. I will try to do your suggestion.
Thank you for your words, it makes me feel a bit better... I beg you please stay a great artist terenry and don't be a bad person, because i really love your work sm and you are my favorite artist.
Have a good day/night tere!
thats so real. theres so many artists that turn out to be weird but terenry is smart. Terenry is professional with everything she says. I have a lot of respect for her. She prob just regular person.
True especially artists on twitter, I'll be honest, many artists that I follow on twitter started drawing suggestive and +18 and it makes me feel uncomfortable and disgusted, yes I know it's up to them what they want to draw but not just one but many who started to get interested in drawing suggestive even underage people also started to be captivated and act strangely because of the suggestive art and even some of my friends also started to act strangely and say suggestive things. but yeah I also can't judge them and don't want to interfere in their business. but I'm happy that until now terenry is still stay as terenry, that's what I like about her ^_^
Hi Terenry! I really love the cloud/smoke effects in some of your illustrations, so I tried to add cloud-ish vibes to my drawings. But it ended up looking really bad so I had to drop them out. Sorry to bother, but would you mind giving a little push to help me into perfecting these clouds?
Thank you!
Do you mean something like this?
to do the cloud/smoke effect I use a soft airbrush with low opacity, first I draw the base of the cloud, and then go over with a smaller brush to shape the details
and finally duplicate the layer, and set the layer effect to add/shine or dodge to create that glowing effect!
Hi, i remember dropping in a comment to you when i first came to toyhouse.
Have always been a big admirer of your art and i wanted to ask about what acrylic/ alcohol markers do you use for traditional art and therefore recommend?
Gotten interested in them recently and im on a hunt for some good ones but I’m having a hard time deciding.
I remember seeing you mention in other comments that you use deli, copic, ohuhu and posca. Ive been looking into all of them and I’m still very indecisive. I’d love to hear your take on them or others you may have/ know of if thats alright.
Thanks so much <3
Thanks for stopping by again! Really appreciate the kind words ;w;
For alcohol markers, Ohuhu is a really good alternative for Copics, especially for their price!!
Ohuhu also has paint acrylic markers but I haven't tried them out, honestly you can't go wrong with paint markers, they're all pretty similar
One thing I'd recommend for acrylic markers is to get some with brush tips! Most POSCA markers have bullet tips, and I personally prefer brush tip markers like Deli's
And I've been looking to get the Arrtx acrylic markers for a while now, but they don't ship to my country </3, if you can get those, I'd say go for it!! Arrtx also seem like a good alternative for Acrylic Markers
Hope that helps you decide! :D
Meowlida again! Wanna bother you again ehe~ X9 How'd you give a gif into ur toyhouse profille code? I tried for a longgg time to make a GIF but ends with no result. Can downloaded to my pc, but can't Added to toyhouse profiile code. like i need to make it to be html-able, but idk.
Anyway, i made a fanart Avia, my fav lil pilot XD but will post after a month since im busy now and.....,When you'll restock the Avia doll again? :((( He's so cuteeeeeeeeee <3
ohh if you want to upload a GIF to Toyhouse it needs to be less than 4MB in size, I recommend using https://ezgif.com/optimize to compress it! adding a lot of compression can make the gif look grainy or lose quality, so it also helps to resize it (like 50% smaller) before optimizing, sometimes resizing it will be enough without needing it to optimize it
once you've got the smaller GIF, you can upload it to your Toyhouse, right click to copy the image address, and embed it in your code using HTML like this: <img src="yourgifaddress.gif">
and aww that's so sweet!! I can't wait to see your fanart of Avia ^^
sadly, the plushie was a limited edition, so there won't be any more restocks ;o; but I hope to launch a new plushie in the future!!
Hi Tere! It's Meowlida again. I just wonder how'd you drawing so good at traditional art.
Do you have any suggestion in pencil coloring way?
Sorry fot bad English ehe~ I'm from Asia xd
Hellooo, it's nice to hear from you again!
it's been a while since I used pencils for coloring xD lately I've been using alcohol markers for most of my drawings
but for pencil coloring, one tip I always come back to is to work by layering, start with a light base, and build up using slightly different colors for highlights and shadows
and blending with a white pencil can help smooth things out! usually when doing gradients and such
it's a little basic but hope it helps!
ooh, it's fun you've been peeking at the playlist to notice that xD
I think I only removed videos that were already included in the unfinished animation compilations, but I just re-added a few that were missing :p
I do plan on making a second edition of the unfinished animations!
Right now, I'm not super focused on creating new types of content, but if I do branch out, it'll probably still be animation-related
Feel free to message me if you have any other questions!
May I ask how you applied a different CSS to your profile tab, separate from the character tab?
I'm using the Full Width code from cheerikola! it's basically like an overlay that hides the sidebar and other things, so it's not technically a different css
The code came in this D2U bundle, but it's no longer available :[
I think it'll be worth contacting them and asking for permission to use it or if they have an updated version available!
But here's some other fullscreen codes I found that should do the trick, like this one or this one
Hi Tere! I've been interested for a while in this traditional piece you made https://toyhou.se/2441584.illu/gallery#96534917 Can I know what art materials you used? ^^
Looks like paint but also kinda Posca? I really like how clean the colors turn in the end X)
I used Deli acrylic markers! they're pretty much like POSCA's and come with both a bullet and brush tip, and you don't have to like shake or activate them
they do paint quite nicely and smoothly, I actually used them on this piece too! https://toyhou.se/~images/95481686 so I totally recommend them if you're curious to try xD
For my cel-shaded style, I usually add the base shading in one layer, and then clip a layer above to add the inner highlights and dark shades
finally, I use a Shine/Add layer to add the outer highlights
the color of the highlights will depend on the atmosphere, for example if it's a day scene with warmer tones, I will use orange/yellow, if it's a night scene, blue/purple
but you can try to match it with the character's palette!
in the example I used red to match the red color accents, but either orange or yellow would work too, since the character mainly has warmer tones

Hope that helps! :D
Hello there! I just exploring Toyhouse's image on Google before and i found your amazing FANTASTIC acc here. Your OC are so gorgeous!!! May i put some inspiration from ur Ocs to mine? Also i would like to fanarting one of ur Oc into my artstyle :D Wich is your fav OC?
I'm sorry if i bother you much with this (',u',)
just a smal question,,, I've read and reread your warnings several times, but sometimes they change and I get a little confused, but... do you accept inspiration in your OCs? Like, a very light or medium inspiration
sorry if I made you uncomfortable with this! ^-^,,,,
yes!! that's exactly what I mean! inspiration is totally okay, for example, if you want to make a character with a similar vibe or theme to mine but with your own twist :D
the difference between inspiration and reference is that inspiration is about getting ideas from something and making it your own, while reference is when you directly copy or heavily base something off the original
that's okay! I still encourage you to create your own palette, you can try to mix things up and make it your own, experimenting with different shades can make the design stand out and feel more personal :]
also uh, I'd appreciate that you didn't use my art/characters for profile pictures without permission ^^;
heyhey!! been lurking for a while you’re my biggest inspiration! just wondering if its okay for you to share the edited code you used fir illu’s profile since its pretty cool but i cant grip coding for the life of me :’(
its chill if not tho i just wanted to mention how much i love ur art >333
I grew up watching your animations back when I was in later years of elementary school and didn't expect to find you here on toyhouse, your characters' scenery art is incredible! You were a really big inspiration for me to start animating years ago :0
It's awesome to see how much you've improved in art and I love your designs and stories and everything is so cool!
I checked the FAQ and it seems to not pop up as well? especially the 2d animals and traditional art too so hopefully it will get checked out ^^
I mostly just use a big brush size to create circles, and spam clicks until it becomes a solid circle xD
and for lines/boxes/border graphics, I use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, which will create a selection and then just fill it in with color (you can hold the Shift key to create a perfect square)
and then use the deform option to change the shape

to create a square border, you can use the Magic Wand to create a selection outside the square, then go to the Selection window and "Dilute Selection by 1px" (I recommend setting it to a shortcut key)
then invert selection and Ctrl+X to cut, same thing applies to create circular lines

for icon graphics like the second pic, I just look it up on the internet xD for example "satellite vector", vector icons are most likely to be easier to edit, just use the magic wand to remove the white background with the "All Similar Colored Pixels" option
I just noticed my carrd page is broken aaa, I will fix it soon! but here's the brushes pic from the FAQ
but yess!! inspiration comes from various sources, music is one of them, the best examples are my speedpaint videos, I always choose the inspired song as the introduction (and which gives the title of the drawing)
the music often shapes the atmosphere and emotion of what I'm working on, like my recent Adria Blue speedpaint: https://youtu.be/HPb14w_t3Zk
and I think I always had a passion for Japanese Architecture xD I find this culture to be very beautiful from an artistic perspective
I just love how the designs can be so minimalist and elegant, yet full of intricate details, and the way it blends natural elements with traditional buildings
and for character designs, it comes from analyzing elements that make Japanese style so distinctive, like the motifs in traditional fabrics, colors, shapes
it's all a combination between imagination and inspiration :]
AAAH I love your artwork so much, one of these days if i ever have the opportunity to commission you for a piece of her i will absolutely be jumping straight on it LOL
Hi, Tere! I'm sorry if I ask silly and odd question, I hope that's okay :')
But I wonder do you accept collab adopts with other people of a certain art skill, or only with your acquaintances/friends?
I saw that you had adopts with other people, and I would like to offer you something like that too!
HIHIA !! no need to apologize for the questions, I'm happy to answer as much as I can! :D
1. I download music/videos with y2mate https://en.y2mate.is
I usually just add "pi" after "youtube" like suggested on the page, and that should automatically convert the video ready to download
2. I think the vibe should adapt to the design rather than forcing the design to match a vibe, if that makes sense? since most my oc designs come from random burst of inspiration LOL, and there's rarely some deep planning behind
I think, this comment, might answer your question regarding how to design a character to a specific theme?
and also this other comment about my design process!
3. and yes! it's totally fine to take inspiration from, as long as it isn't an exact copy/same elements etc
just be sure to add your own twist or spin to make it uniquely yours :]
4. Both are great, but I think I lean more towards SAI
I think it's mainly because I've spent so much time with it than with CSP, and i'm also more used to it
I like the simplicity of it and the workflow just feels overall faster than on CSP (loading time, panels, etc)
CSP definitely has its perks tho, like its support for custom brushes and advanced features for animation
I personally don't use brushes that much, so at the end I think it's just a matter of preference
5. It really depends on the piece, but generally it can take me a couple of weeks, depending on complexity, most complex pieces usually take around 20 hours
animation is another story, it's super process-heavy! something like 1-second scene might take up to 3 days, especially with complex details or effects
and 3 seconds of animation might be up to a week or more, but time can vary depending on the style of animation
6. YES!! I'm so glad to hear you're interested in their lore!
I do have AMV's planned focused on XIVIL and also Project FTL (E.B's story)
and an AMV for Time Crystals is already in the making too, so there's definitely more to uncover!
AAAAA ZEKKI FANART???? I'm screaming omg YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!! he looks amazing in your style! waa I absolutely love it
seriously, thank you so much for this! ;v;
Hello, I have some questions to ask if that’s okay :]
- How do you do building structures and textures? :0 They’re things I struggle with implementing in my scenes but you draw them in a way that looks very natural, examples of some of your works that I mean are these: example 1, example 2
- I think you mentioned somewhere that R-Tea’s story was changed so R3PL4Y’s not very relevant in it anymore, I’ve been meaning to ask if he has / will get his own story as well?
- Last one for now, do you happen to have the clip of an old wip(?) where there was Otaime and R-Tea? I think I recall the animation having a perspective shot (180 degree turn?) and posted on ig(?) but I can’t seem to find it anymore
Sorry if these were a bit much, have art of Mar in exchange :D

Hihi !! I'll be happy to answer them
for the textures on those buildings specifically, I actually used a brush pack for Clip Studio Paint by Devin Elle Kurtz! you can find them here: https://tamberella.gumroad.com/l/YLfEvh
they got a wide array of brushes and are free to use!! so I always recommend them :]
as for your second question, yes! R3PL4Y's role has shifted, I'm working on a separate storyline for him
originally R3PL4Y gets isekai'd and meets R-Tea randomly and joins his quest on defeating demons and stuff xD
with that in mind, I've been thinking for a while about a videogame AU, while still mixing elements from the original story
I didn't want to get rid of this duo completely, so I believe it could infuse the story with the same dynamic energy but with some cool RPG adventures :D !!
and I think this is the clip you mention, it was old fr lOl https://www.instagram.com/terenry/p/Bpu-kuDHvam/?img_index=1
I hope this answers all your questions!
and OMGG?? you really didn't have to! Mar looks absolutely amazing in your style, I love the colored lines and the soft color hues!! the way you blended the colors is just stunning
Thank you so much for the gift! ;w;
Ahh I see :00 I’ll give them a try, thank you so much!! Your plan with R3PL4Y sounds very cool too, looking forward to see what you do with them :] and yes it’s that one!! I tried looking for it in several occasions but I guess I completely missed it every time Dx Tysm aaa I’m glad you like it, Mar was very fun to draw :D
HII HAPPY BIRTHDAYY !!!
I wish you all the best and I hope you have a great day! ^v^
Here's my gift ;3

YOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THIS IS SUCH AN OUTSTANDING PIECE, I LOVE ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS ON THIS, you really nailed it with the background and characters, it feels like such a lively scene!
I adore how Kumi is just jumping around sdjksdk you captured the energy so perfectly
and Tere's expression is so adorable I'd surely enjoy that ice cream hehe <3
Thanks again, this is an amazing gift! ;w;
Yayy you're welcome! I'm glad u like it!! ^ ^ and thank you so much for your feedback I really appreciate it a ton! <3
Fun fact is that I placed a lot of easter eggs on that drawing which was something that kept this background idea alive since I was struggling a lot to create a background and KEEP it on the process of this artwork (worth it) xD definitely will try more of that in the future!
SDJKHDS SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY, THIS IS SO COOL !!
I love the pose and expression wowee the colors really make them pop, and that neon orange is such a striking choice!
thank you very much for the gift !! ^_^
Everything is fine!! YOUR LATEST AMV IS SO AMAZING!! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CONCEPTS AND KNOW HOW YOU CHOSE THE FINAL COLORS FOR THE PROJECT!!! And thank you very much for the words >< they mean a lot to This palette is like "hmmm, Elmi likes orange.... Hmmm and Tere likes neon blue! Amazing choice made >:D"
YOO THANK YOU, I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!! the final color palette for the amv was kind of an accident xDD
This was its original color palette actually! but I ended up adding a bunch of random layer effects (honestly, I had no idea what I was doing)

so I'm so glad that so many people liked the colors in the end :D
ALSO omg, you're so right!! orange is one of my fav colors too, this combination turned out amazing >:33
oooh yes I see!
I usually edit the animation in Vegas Pro 20 and then render it as a PNG sequence
I import the frames on either Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint (not sure what program you use, so I'll explain both)
in Photoshop you can simply go to File > Open > Select the 1st frame of the png sequence > check the "Image Sequence" box at the bottom of the file viewer folder > set the frame rate, click OK
then go to File > Export > Save for Web, and there you choose the settings you want
as for Clip Studio, it takes some extra steps and little longer to load, but sometimes I feel the gif export quality is better? it really depends, usually I export them both on PS and CSP and compare which one looks better
create a new animation file with the resolution of the drawing, select ALL the png sequence files, and drag an drop to the layers panel inside the Animation Folder
important: make sure to extend your timeline length with the same number of frames as the png sequence
now on the animation menu go to, Animation > Edit Track > Batch Specify Cells > check the "specify name of existing animation cel" > select the first frame of the png sequence on Start Cel, and the last one on End Cel, and that should automatically add all of your png sequence frames to the timeline
now you can export the Animation and save it as an animated Gif
another simpler alternative is to render the video and then convert it to gif, I use https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif
but the image resolution is limited, so I suggest trying out the above options if you want to maintain quality
hope that helps! :]
alright Terenry, if you had an rpg game which characters of yours would it be about? ngl I be thinking probably like have it about Zekki or something.
Psst *whispering* I use this one for my large sized drawings 👀 https://www.resizepixel.com/reduce-image-in-kb/
I don't use any websites, I usually change the resolution on the drawing program itself
in SAI I have "change canvas resolution" and I use the percentage unit, so I can quickly half the resolution for example
Clip Studio also has the Change Image Resolution, it's basically the same thing
or saving the file as jpg also does the trick xD
Do these characters have designs?? cause I wanna design what I imagine them to look like for fun

they do! and their names are Envy and Desire
I never really consider them ocs, but I had planned to animate them again someday
would you like to see their designs? I'm not sure if that'd somewhat influence your idea haha, would love to see your own take on them!
ooo yes i wanna see them!! :O i actually wanted to draw them but since i didnt know they had designs i wanted to make my own
these are their updated designs! I don't have a full reference for them yet, this is just an animation frame sjksjk
colors are flexible and doesn't have to be the exact same hue
also here's their old designs so you can have an idea of their patterns! Envy's leg markings are the same, as well as Desire's back and tail patterns
SOBBING;;;; I'M SO HAPPY YOU LOVE IT, it’s really nice to hear that it means so much to you!
also bocchi great anime -b
btw want me to submit the full res file to rylu's gallery? since I noticed it's kinda blurry :]
Oh, hi there :P
Just wanted to say, that I love your OCs and art, soooo I decided to draw a fanart

I don’t know what to say, so I wish you to develop further and draw for your own pleasure ^^
TERENRY IVE BEEN DYING TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THE WHOLE AVIATION CHARACTERS IDEA. also have you watched one piece. whenever i see a character with goggles i love them. you made me love goggles.
LOl it's kind of a funny evolution honestly, I originally just wanted to create a pilot OC, and then the whole aviation theme sort of grew on me
it all started with Nekoii and Avia, cuz they used to be related characters (no anymore) Nekoii was a train conductor, and Avia was kind of his counterpart and used to be enemies wowo, that's deep oc lore
actually, you can see them fight in this old map part ! https://youtu.be/aooUil-xmj8
I used to be more into trains and railway back then but as I started to develop my ocs, I started to gain interest into aviation and aerospace more :p
also I haven't watched one piece because the 1k+ episodes kinda sets me back wSHJA but agreed that character with goggles are just superior !!!!
Hii Tere !
Here is a Kinuko fanart I've done, the drawing is very experimental with a new art style and brush-shading, I've been testing a lot of stuff recently hehe

Hope you like it! I really like your characters and I'm planning to draw more of them in the future ^^ if you don't mind ofc haha
AA OMG THIS LOOKS AMAZING!! I adore how you've shaded and textured everything, the detailed fur is nicely painted, and the sunset colors give it such a calm vibe to the scene, it is very pleasing to look at ´w`
Thank you so much for this beautiful fanart! I'm excited to see more of my characters in your artwork, feel free to draw them anytime!
