Guardy's secondary account for adopts (including for forum games) and utilities and things like that. If you don't get a reaction here, please do ping my main or send me a DM over there! I occasionally 'upcycle' characters I get in games by drawing more art for them and generally cleaning them up a lil and chucking 'em back into circulation if I can get them to look nice and shiny enough; that's not a statement on the quality of your characters - I'm just a big sappy sap who wants to see as many characters as possible permanently homed and loved, especially those that have been making the trading rounds for a while. I generally only keep characters that I either really love, or don't feel comfortable trading away due to unclear origins, dubious legitimacy, or a design that I couldn't get polished up enough to feel like they're ready to find a permanent home just yet. You can offer on anything in the UFT/UFS folder; you can TRY with the permas, but it almost certainly won't work. Please don't offer on anything tagged "no trade"; those I either can't give away, or won't give away. I don't officially do commissions, but - assuming I'm not too busy - can probably be bribed into doing art or creating customs for you with neat characters (or the Mocchi-currency suryens, if you're in that community). |

Adopts
- Don't sell my adopts for more than you got them, unless you bought (BOUGHT, not were gifted) additional art for them. Your own art counts, but be reasonable, okay?
- For Ye Writerly Folks: A very well developed character you put tons of time and effort into is valid grounds for asking higher prices, even if it's words and not images. Again, though, be reasonable - I'm talking fully-formulated profiles (or actual literature pieces), here, and a fully fleshed-out personality and backstory.
- Credit is appreciated where convenient (so, basically on TH and in the description of your main character reference; everywhere else is optional)
- You can re-design them, scrap their bio, change their name if they have one, give them additional forms, change gender, body-type or species and basically do whatever the heck you want with them.
- You can also use them in your personal projects. Roleplays, webcomics, stories... whatever. As long as it's law-compliant and doesn't promote discrimination, it's cool.
- If a project using my adopts ends up published professionally, a lil' mention somewhere (and if it's only "thanks @ Guardy / UnheimLich 4 character inspiration") would be A+ (especially if it's something art-based like a webcomic), but not absolutely necessary.
- I reserve the right to post the art I did of the adopts while they were in my possession to various social media websites, potentially without a link to TH at all.
- I often put my art on my tumblr, and I generally don't like to link in tumblr descriptions unless I have to (partially because tumblr likes to break links occasionally) - if it's both my art and my design, I see no reason to.
Art
- If I draw stuff for you, that stuff is yours, and you can upload it wherever you like, as long as you don't make money off of it.
- You're even allowed to make minor edits to it, for example cropping it or slapping a border or some font on there to use as an avatar or forum signature, as long as you still acknowledge that I drew the thing you edited - so don't trace my art to cheat in contests or whatever.
- As long as I still get credit for the outlines/sketch, you're also allowed to outline/color/etc any sketch or lineart commissions/gifts you got from me.
- I obviously highly encourage giving credit and linking back to any of my profiles, but if you use that picture somewhere where giving credit is very difficult, I won't be mad if you don't. Just don't be a jerk about it, okay?
- If you upload to Toyhouse, please link back to my TH account; otherwise I'd prefer tumblr, but any will do in a pinch.
- (Also, please try to ensure that nobody steals the art from you, because that would be plain embarrassing for everyone involved)
Thank you so so so much for my handsome boi from the music thread!! I love him 😍

Aaaah, thanks for that super nice comment, I'm glad to hear you like her <3
I actually pretty much set this account up to breathe some new life into the trading threads - I know the same characters tend to get passed around a lot, so I'm aiming to chuck some new characters on there because character design is fun and I can use the practice, anyway, pretty up any old characters I can with some new art and keep those I don't quite know what to do with unless I can find someone who wants them.
I figured I can actually do art and create characters myself and don't have to rely on picking up good trading material anywhere else, so I might as well put that to use and hopefully make some people happy.
plus, this forces me to actually draw fullbody refs, which I'm usually too lazy to do with my own personal art x'D4 years, 11 months ago
