Hey! love your art and animations. I was wondering, what is the CSS code you use? i'm interested in using the same one for my account.
Hey sorry for the late reply! I've been away recently :S
I'm happy to hear you like my work! This is the CSS I'm using https://toyhou.se/2964689.-p2u-peek
aa thank you!! nice to know you like my work! ;w;
hii :3
I'm alright, tho could be better xD and you?
ahh I feel you :S I hope you get better soon!
I've been trying to render a video all day, but the render keeps crashing and I can't seem to be able to fix it ;-;
kinda weird cause I've been rendering the same kind of videos with the same way these past months, so idk why my program decided to break suddenly XD
Hello Tere!!! :D
I really like your work and wanted to ask, have you ever encountered fear when starting to draw? I always liked to draw cats and there is a desire, and after I started going to art school, I began to be afraid to make even sketches, it feels as if at a subconscious level the teacher stands and looks at how I draw a sketch and wants to throw out everything that is not drawn in realism. 😔
Hey ^^ Yes I've experienced that when I was starting! But I've never assisted to an art school whatsoever
I imagine art schools are prepared for a wide general public, that's why they're structured in a way to help people who want to get in the art industry professionally
Realism is the basis of this structure, as it's the best way to learn how things work
If you wanna draw cats, go for it!! Remember you draw for yourself
I don't know what direction you want to take in your art career, maybe art school isn't what you're looking for?
As a self-taught artist, I've found it more exciting to experiment and learn by myself, and if I ever wanted to improve myself in something specific, I can count on plenty of free resources on the internet
However, do not be influenced by a comment from a random person like me xD do what you think is best for you!
I hope you keep on going with what you like!
Thank you very much, I have ideas, I have everything I need. After reading your message, I realized my problem, because I am used to the fact that I succeed in the field of drawing landscapes, so when I look at the fact that my understanding in drawing cats is gradually lost, I begin to evaluate myself too much. I will try to evaluate myself less at this stage, and just return to the state where I liked to just draw as much as I can and not be ashamed of my work.
Thank you very much for your motivation ❤️
Hello! I actually LOVE your art so much 💖💖 and I just have to ask, "what art app do you use to draw?"
I need to know, do you accept Gifts? 👀
O do you mean like a physical gift or a digital gift like a drawing or a game?

How can one not like your art work tho?? It's so pretty and detailed but I do have urges on wanting to snuggle those ocs that shouldn't be snuggled or look like they don't want it
lOL it's crazy to think that my art has inspired so many people !! after all i'm just a random artist drawing colorful cats on the internet xD
WJHAWJKS I'D DO THE SAME, I love all my ocs very much
HELLO TERН XD WHAT I WANT TO SAY ,,,, oh, I like your work and how do you detail them ?? I will say this, many say so, Uhhh,,,, but it's still true! your work is very impressive, you look at them and such, wow, a person has so much imagination to translate it into reality, WOW, oh and by the way !!!! all good participation in the ,, competition?
hi tere! i just want to say i really love your style and characters, it encouraged me to pursue digital art! when are you opening up comms again, your chibis are irresistable-

oh if you mean my discord server is currently not accepting new members, it's been under construction for a while, we still don't know when it'll be open to the public again :s
Hello !
I'm trying to work on backgrounds, and saw your work (beautiful art and animations btw!), I'm curious, what's your shading process for such detailled backgrounds ? ^^
Hii sorry for late reply! :'3
thanks for the compliment! usually my shading process is involved with the detailing process
I pick a darker tone to add depth and contrast to the objects, which also works as shading
and then with a lighter tone to add subtle highlights and reflections
here is a little explanation with some examples I did a while ago if it helps! https://toyhou.se/~comments/10469158
Hey terenry any plans for december adopts maybe? I really want a design by you for christmas ;0;!
Not sure yet! hopefully yes but depends on how busy I am by then XD
Hello I really bad at English but how do you draw and shade on temples? I see a lot of details on them but how hard I try I still can’t recreate a temple i really want to know xD
hmm it depends, usually my process is the following:
First you start by getting to know the basic shape of it and the main structure, then add the details and decorations
Like on this example:
As for the coloring/shading process,
- Once I have the sketch finished, then I draw the flat-colored/lineless background, everything on different layers
- After that, I start detailing each area, usually I start adding the shadows and detail the textures with them, and lastly add some highlights details
- And finally when I finish detailing, I add extra lighting/shadows and a lot of overlay effects xD
here's the procces of this drawing as an example:
I hope this can be helpful to give you a basic idea!
You can also watch the speedpaint here if you're interested in seeing the full process ^_^ https://youtu.be/dqWb9FYGkGQ
Hi! Sorry for bothering you tere, but I just want to ask how did you shade your characters so good?! It’s kind of like cel shading but it’s not actually like cel shading???? Teach me how sensei >:0
uhhmm depends, I do have different shading styles! which drawing are you referring to specifically? :o
I really like the style you use to draw the half-face pictures…? With a cloudy background and a quote of the character? I see that you use diamond shapes to shade the face furs, and it looks very nice to me 👀 how did you do that?
Also, how do you draw and shade temples? I see a lot of details in them but how hard I try I still can’t recreate a temple as detailed as yours >< 💦
Oh my, is your profile comment section turning into a Q&A? xD
I see! my shading style is very sharp/geometrical by itself, it just comes naturally,, xD I usually use the eraser to get that sharper look, I erase the edges with linear strokes
as for the shading I use multiply effect for the layer mode, and clip a layer above to add the lighter/darker tones
for my buildings process, I first draw the basic shape, and then just fill it out with details, here's this quick example:
I recommend starting with something simple, and once you have a solid base you can move on to more complex concepts, it just takes a lot of practice! :3
i have 2 questions. What app do u use 2 draw and i havent found ur ref of terenry and i was hoping to fanart is that ok?
I use Paint Tool SAI 2.0 to draw! fanart is very appreciated it! feel free to draw my characters if you'd like ^^
you can find my main sona reference here https://toyhou.se/7347168.tere#23819073
Hi,I came to ask if you could change the credits with my TH username on this art: https://toyhou.se/2446999.aisu/gallery#26721319
ajadsjjdadjjhadj dumb question
1. can I make a design that is a little inspired by your designs? or do I need to credit you to do this?
2. can I get pinged when your commissions are open? if you don't do pings ok then (or maybe you already talked about this and I didn't read dsmajdjdajk)
Hello! I’m here to say that you’ve been a big inspiration to me for a while, and I absolutely love your art and animations! I hope you’re doing well! ^^
hey! I'm trying to find a new art style and I was wondering if I could be a little inspired by yours? I was just gonna do it but then I realized I should ask first SJFKJRDNL also I love your art sm omg <3 how do you come up with designs and outfits? I feel like I've asked this before but I'm pretty sure I didn't lMao
oh MAN I've loved your work for YEARS [yells] I hope ur doing well! Absolutely everything you do is incredible keep it up >:DD
i literally adore everything (and i mean everything) about your style /gen
like your designs and color palettes and art and animations....all of it is so ,,, WOW
youre a really, REALLY big inspiration for me aa-
hey tere! i just wanted to thank you for being an immensely huge inspiration for me! you helped me to find out my style and to improve my art in general <3
aaanndd not to mention but,, do you have tips on drawing scenes? i'm really bad at it and i'm trying to improve it somehow haha-
That's so awesome!! thank you so much, it means a lot that my art has been of inspiration!
I think I'm not the best when it comes to giving tips haha ;w,
If you're struggling with drawing scenes, I'd suggest focusing on what you're good at, or what kind of scenes you'd like to draw the most, eg. nature, urban environments, indoors.. etc
start with something small and with simple colors / more natural colors
once you have something basic to work with, you can move on to more complex concepts
I am not experienced in realistic kind of art, but I know realism is the best way to portray colors in the best way, learn about shadows and light, and that kinda stuff!
you might try taking a look at references that are great to use in some circumstances, or just let your creativity flow and experiment with it!
In the most basic form, the way I like to do scenes is to imagine them in my head, the first thing I do is to visualize my ideas of where the different parts will go before I start drawing, just remember that you're drawing to stimulate your imagination, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Think of your own artwork and draw whatever you like
Everything it's just matter of practice!
I'm sure there are plenty of better tips and tutorials out there that are better at explaining than me XD but I hope I was somewhat helpful!
HII! Just wanted to say I’ve been an inspiration for like the longest time,,, ur one of the people that got me in to animating! And I rlly love ur art and designs keep up the awesome work!
also question,,, sorry if you’ve already answered this I got tired of trying to find it in the comments bc there’s 200+ of them haha 😅
how did you do the music coding?
aaa thank you so much!! it means a lot, really makes me happy to hear that ; w ;
The music player I'm using is this one! https://www.deviantart.com/codingtrash/art/Music-Player-1-616035933 It's a paid code, it's available for 70 points
The code comes with a guide on how to install it, it was used back when DeviantArt still supported HTML, but it does work on Toyhouse too! You will need Toyhouse premium though, as it requires of CSS
woweee,, hi again, i finally bought the music player but when I click the download thing it breaks? do u have any idea what to do?
hey!! I just wanted to say that I think that they are stealing your artstyle(or characters?)
Hey there! Honestly your coding is absolutely insane-
if you end up answering, before you so, I know you edited if from a base code from flipping through the comments before asking to make sure i wasn't repeating a question asked before.
and since i couldn't find it... how did you get the fixed images that pop up in a few spots on the main welcome thing? I've been Trying for way to long to get it to work in one of my character's profiles, and I was hoping you could help provide me with the line of code + how you used it- or at least point me in the direction of a tutorial/base code if you used one? even the slightest bit of insight would be perfect. qwq
Ah thank you! :3
If you mean the fixed welcome image, this is the code!
<div class="card-block py-4" style='background:url("IMG LINK") center / cover fixed;'></div>
Here's a guide for background images that could be helpful too ^^

Hello, sorry in advance for the bad English ;; I just wanted to say that your art is beautiful. You've really inspired me to try landscape type art. I was never motivated to do so because I'm terrible at it, but your art is so astounding and it gave me hope. Your backgrounds, colouring, art style, and shading are so nice to look at. I hope to one day get a commission from you once they open up again !! Have a nice day !
Ahh thanks for the kind words!
Happy to hear that my art was inspiring to you and has helped to give you some motivation to get better at landscape art! it really means a lot
I've always thought that landscape art is really tough and a challenge, but with enough practice it can turn out to be an exciting and creative process, that's why I enjoy drawing them
Thanks again! ^_^
afsdjfsdlak Terenry i just want to say it again that u are a huge inspiration 4 me ;o; <333
no wait, nono more than that-!! you really helped me find my art style, although lots of other artists did too in the past but i never stayed long and moved on to another artist pretty fast, and overall i just did not have anyone to look up to in art for a long time. the last time i had one was years ago- and slkdfjsdalkfjasl lets just say you are my first main inspiration since years ago! seriouly, lots of my character designs and some other stuff have at least a tiny bit of stuff that is inspired by you, it might not seem like it but they are!
your the reason why i even bothered to improve my art & animation <33
sorry this is poorly written aa ^^" did not give myself time to think it through bec i`m impatient as i wanted to spill this for a long time
Hello! I just wanted to tell you that I love your designs! They never fail to inspire me to design more, and always are so pleasing to look at! It's a really unique design style, and never fails to surprise me! Your art is really unique too, it's always really stunning, and the amount of detail in your art makes it 10x better. Keep it up! ^^
Ello!! I just wanted to say DANG your art is amazing!! Even your toyhouse aesthetic dang!! How do you manage to draw so many wonderful pieces for so many characters and complete animations-
AnywaysDatsAlIWantedToSay Keep being epic!!
holy moly your art and use of colours are gorgeous!
your backgrounds are seriously art goals, keep up the great work! ;w; <3

All my commissions types are currently closed! I don't know when I will be opening them yet :0
Hiya! I really love all your art and characters! <33 I was wondering if it's fine if I was inspired/slightly referenced your art? (sometimes I have trouble with scenes, and look at how you do components such as the moon or sky to help me with it!)
Hey thank you!! <3
I don't mind if people get inspired on my art as long as it isn't heavily, or entirely replicated! But you can totally be inspired and have a little reference to help you out ^_^
I think you're talking mostly about scenes, but just in case I want to mention not to reference any of my characters if you'd include them inside "my art" ;v;
Hii i just wanted to ask what code you used for Tere and Kumi’s responsive art thingy? ;w; I’ve been wondering for a while now :’D
Hey! :D I used this one code https://codepen.io/knyttneve/pen/YgZbLO
It requires css to work, so you'll need toyhouse premium to use it!
um

sorry you probably get a lot of these o.o
Hi there, while browsing through your art and I came across some really gorgeous traditional-art scenes! I was wondering, what materials do you use to create them? It looked like either paint or oil pastel, but I wasn't sure-- whatever it is, it looks amazing!!
Thank you!! Most of my traditional art was drawn with Derwent pastel pencils!
I upload the progress of these drawings on my instagram ^^ https://www.instagram.com/terenry/
Hiya! Just wanted to say your detailed backgrounds, especially the japanese-influenced ones, are amazing! One question, do you use references for them? Because i'm practicing backgrounds and I'm not sure how I should go along with it-
Thank you so much!
I don't use references for my art, I do look at random pics to get an idea, but not directly reference them
I like to create and design my own original buildings and backgrounds!! It really only takes a lot of practice haha
Backgrounds has always been my favorite part when drawing, so I just enjoy making them a lot! :D
If you're struggling with drawing backgrounds, I'd suggest focusing on what you're good at, or what kind of backgrounds you'd like to draw the most, eg. nature, urban environments, indoors.. etc
you might try taking a look at references that are great to use in some circumstances, or just let your creativity flow and experiment with it!
Hi! ^^
My commission prices can be found here: Commission Prices, but I don't have a specific date for when I will be opening them
It's possible that I might open commissions next month, but I'm still unsure about that!! :0
and ahh I'm not too good when it comes at giving tips ><
I think the shading will depend on the style you would like to focus on, it can be realistic, or a more cartoony style
I am not experienced in realistic kind of art, but I know realism is the best way to portray colors in the best way, learn about shadows and light, and that kinda stuff
I personally like to use different shading colors depending on the atmosphere of the drawing
if it's a night drawing, I would use mostly blue tones, or if it's a sunset drawing, I would use more reddish/orange tones
if you want a bright and colorful background, pick brighter colors, If you want a photo-realistic effect, you can use darker and subtler colors
but don't be afraid to experiment, I would suggest to try different techniques and work out which one feels right for you, it's probably the best way to learn something new! everything it's just matter of practice!
No problem!
I actually don't use many brushes :0
These are all the brushes I use:
▸LINEART BRUSH (for sketching, linearting, and color)
▸DETAIL BRUSH (for shading, painting, and backgrounds)
▸TEXTURE BRUSH (rarely used, for random textures)
they're pretty normal brushes, so there isn't much tips I can give about them xD
Just here to say I am so inspired by you , you are a huge idol for me, i hope I can get as amazing as you :00
Just wanted to say your characters, art, and animation is always so cool! Also if you ever reopen commissions I'd literally love to commission you one day :0
just wanted to stop by and say that i love your art! it's been a pretty big inspiration for me!! (the profile css is super cool too haha)
(and uh... if i ever have time, would i be allowed to draw fanart for any of your characters? they all look so nice!!)
Heya Tere!! Im always wanted to ask you, what is your gender??? And your pronounce??:0
And yeah, yo characters fvking cute!!!
hey, what template did you use on your folders? They look so nice!! 💕
okok but like actually quite curious,, do you watch anime ?
Also you have such an amazing style, I literally love your scene art,, any tips for learning how to make scenes like that ?
yeah! they are closed at the moment, but you can find my commission prices here ^^ https://toyhou.se/6987839.commission-prices
Hello!! I absolutely love your art and it is so awesome and amazing!!! Are you ever open for any DT,AT,or simple art requests?
Ahh thank you!! <3
I'm currently not open to anything, I'm not taking trades and requests anymore at the moment!
Alrighty,and Btw you were the one who animated my favorite part of that Brightheart (girl like her)map!?
(Part 11)
Yeah! :D
Awesome man!! I'm kind of actually starting a cartoon series soon! Any tips for the animation part of it((Isn't posted yet,looking for editor))
That's amazing!
Though I have no idea about creating cartoon series, so I don't think I can give any tips about it
I'd recommend looking for tips from other people that participated on animated series and stuff! I don't know any so I can't really help much on that :S
But good luck in your project!!
Aaa your art is so godly,,holy heck. Duddee!!🌟💕💫 i have a question too, what art program do you use for your drawings? :"O
Hi!! I absolutely love how creative all your OCs are, and the fact that their profiles are so organised really completes them. I'm just wondering what template(?) you use for their profiles? Like, the design of them with Name, Info, Refs etc. and would you be able to send a link? I love it so much!
Thank you so much! ^^
I bought the code fromEggy, this is the one I'm using https://toyhou.se/2505659.o1-overview-6-
