I also wanted to bump my purge bulletin,
https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1581017.th-purge-bump-added-a-lot-more
Please comment there if anyone catches ur eye!
I'm pretty open to most art offers and Im very patient on wait times as long as you get back to me if I contact you to check in
Not usually my thing but Ive been thinking a lot about art recently and how Im not really able to use a lot of my own OCs/or just not connected to them anymore. I posted a purge earlier this year and just went back through that tag to add more
https://toyhou.se/qhostbyrd/characters/folder:all/tagged:Hm/extagged:Pending
I am NOT looking for offers on anyone outside of this tag, do not ask!
I don't like being asked for pings either. edit: hey please respect my boundaries on this or im just gonna block, I find it rude!
Im looking mostly for art! but Im also open to character trades, or customs if I follow you.
Please know I'll be asking for art in color and that my characters are mildly complex! I'm also very patient about wait times.
Here is a bulletin with my design preferences https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/737543.design-preferences , or a folder for visual https://toyhou.se/qhostbyrd/favorites/41466
If the design you're interested in is by me or was visibly redesigned by me, I'd prefer USD offers! It is final exams and I've been needing materials for my sculptures.
other characters I can take just USD offers for are
https://toyhou.se/14282391.devin - worth $100
https://toyhou.se/3261655.holly - worth $20
https://toyhou.se/13778913.blu - worth $45 , buffbears design
https://toyhou.se/6973189.lotus - worth $10, this character is mature locked! 18+ please
https://toyhou.se/4936577.shapiro - worth $24
Please keep offers in the comments it is way easier to keep track of! Thank you!
I delete a comment thread when the trade is complete, or after an offer has been declined. Just for cleanup & readability of the comments
Hi folks, I'm sorry to be bringing this up again.
Here is a PSA post & formal document I made regarding the user DipperPines back in January:
https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1102478.psa-design-theft-lying-manipulation
https://toyhou.se/~r?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1ZLbqUwjoNYSRhjG_aAdNM4_sacZnKVxcJ_TWe3fmOHI%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing
I have yet to hear word of a response or apology, but Dipper is still doubling down and has now removed my credits on the collaboration designs we made together. I made probably around 30 designs with them (their lines, my coloring), and I'm getting tired of this. If you own a charmie by us can you please request my designer credit again or add it in the description so it can't be removed.
I don't know what to do further about this situation other than to point people to my document, this user has a very recorded history of manipulation, and has in the past stolen designs + vehemently gaslit about it.
screenshots of proof for the removed credits, will add more later when I have the energy to look. designs we made with @ dracononite had their credit removed by Dipper as well.
Dipper has also added this blacklist note to their TOS recently despite the fact they've tried to get designs of mine after I cut contact and had stated not to
https://toyhou.se/qhostbyrd/characters/folder:all/tagged:hm
So I've never done this before, I never even trade OCs- but a lot is on my mind and Im realizing Im never going to rlly redesign/reconnect with these guys like I wanted. Finally compiled a tag and I'm open to offers on them.
USD offers for designs I made is encouraged, please only offer trades/art for the others unless theres art by me in their gallery!
Don't go outside of this tag, I don't appreciate unsolicited offers on my OCs.
You can comment here or in the comments of the character. I often forget to respond to DM offers so please comment instead!
Also please don't take this as a statement on my mental health, I'm alright lol. I think I'd just like to give my energy to OCs I'm really enjoying.
Hi there!! I've posted about this on twitter but not here yet I realized.
As of last winter I've been working at a new job to support myself so I could limit my workload with freelance. I still have commissions as an option but I haven't actually opened up for a batch of anything in over half a year. These alongside school have caused some stress on my schedule and on my energy levels so I've ultimately deciding I'm retiring a lot of my options for commissions in the first place, only sticking to a style I really enjoy working on, while I buff out my portfolio for after graduating.
These are the only options I'm going to have from now on:
- Sketches with flat color (Icons or Fullbodies only)
- Paintings (Icons, Fullbodies, or Scenes)
- Character Design
I no longer will be offering lined or lined/shaded work, I don't have the capacity or motivation to do them anymore.
I'll of course still be finishing any previous work with the old options, but if your commission is in WIP and you'd like to change to one of the other styles (i.e. painted instead of lined) I am more than fine doing that for no extra charge.
While I redo my website to reflect these options I'll also be refining my TOS to discuss turnaround times and my process more clearly, now that I'm dealing with a second job.
I always respond to work DM's, you're free to contact me anytime for updates or etc.
Hope this gives some insight into where I'm at currently, apologies for not making a post here sooner!
This is admittedly an extremely heavy and transitional period for me especially in my degree so that's why I've barely been actively posting anywhere or etc.
I'm hoping I can share some of the OC work I've been doing for a couple of classes soon.
It's recently come to my attention that @ DipperPines is slandering me and lying about me since I cut them off for this same behavior. I was trying to leave this privately between my friend group and I but I won't tolerate whats happening right now.
Here is a full document with formal evidence of the frequent lying and gaslighting that DipperPines will use to manipulate people.
Also evidence of their past history in design theft.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZLbqUwjoNYSRhjG_aAdNM4_sacZnKVxcJ_TWe3fmOHI/edit?usp=sharing
My friends and I have dealt heavily with this person and their behavior and are opting to keep our more personal matters private, I do not want to engage with this person and at this point I think people should be aware of the behaviors they employ.
I cut contact with DipperPines back in November and we removed them from Charmies a few days before that.
I do not support harassment of this user just form your own thoughts after reading and block if you need.
If you’ve experienced this behavior or have other examples of design theft I’ll leave the comments on. Please don’t post speculative things in the comments without proof. I may add more later if I have the energy to do so.
Another post about them:
https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1102367.-dipperpines-beware
As a note because I'm seeing people comment on the other bulletin. I made collaborations with DipperPines a lot, I often colored the linework they gave me for adopts. I do not support design theft, please be aware collab designs had my input and were not directly copied like theirs.
This person and I have each other blocked everywhere, so no I could not contact them before making a PSA. I'd already contacted them directly about the behavior prior to this already and they've only doubled down on it.
May or may not update this every now and then- you're always free to ask me about design trades. Let me know if anything is hard to understand & I can scribble a quick visual, I'm not great with words.
NOTES
There are subfolders for a quick view of my favorite designers if needed
This isn't meant to be like a "seeking"/dreamie folder but if you'd rather not have someone in there please let me know, I understand!
- I love fun/silly characters with bright and/or saturated colors!
- If you want a custom design from me and have some characters UFO feel free to throw them in my dm's and I might be up to trade!
- Please don't offer designs to me that you wouldn't be comfortable with me changing a bit! I tend to redesign characters I get to suit them to my coloring style or favorite aesthetics.

I like humans/humanoid as well but have much more of a difficult time connecting than anthro!
Anywhere it says "toony" its likely a species I've seen portrayed seriously & unseriously- so I mean more cartoon-like than realistic!

I love distinct things that characterize a design like specific body types/themed clothing, etc!
I see a lot of people note whether they prefer masc or fem-leaning designs and I'll just say androgynous or transmasc is usually where I connect as that's closest to my identity.
Its super affirming to see designs with top scars/wearing binders/etc so feel free

I have a few characters in my main folders with Strabismus (crossed eyes), medical eyepatches, and scarred hands- please don't use these for design trades, I prefer to do it myself as they're personal traits for me.
If you have a theme in mind that's not here, or need a subsection of a theme to narrow it down- feel free to ask.

*goofy/silly stuff, not horror!
*LOVE stuff w/ comic art motifs like halftones!!
I tend to lean more towards saturated colors than muted.
Colors are really important to me and often the thing I'll make changes to with most designs I get, please do not offer me designs you wouldn't be comfortable with me shifting the colors of a little bit!
- Colors with tint > Pure B&W
(i.e super dark blue rather than #000000, cream instead of #ffffff) - Range of hues > Monotone
- Heavy contrast (I love bright colors on dark bases)
- Preferably no random additional color that only comes up in one place
(i.e eye color, shoelaces, teeth) - Cohesion (Rainbows in color order, etc)
*These are not exact! They're just meant to show general palettes, not to be color-picked from!
I have no dislikes of designers unless its someone known to be awful.
Sometimes I'm up for taking my own designs!

Here's just general info and such!
- Will automatically block if offered appropiative/racist designs or designs with hate symbols/associated with hate groups.
- I don't care if a design offered is on a base or not.
- Please do not use terms like LQ, HQ.
- I can often tell when a design is ripping off someone else's work.
- Please don't make/offer me designs heavily based off of a specific character (i.e. Thor but as a dog) its not my thing.
- Don't buy/get designs in my favorites solely to try and get stuff from me, don't lurk in my favorites or harass the owners of any character in my favorites. If we're friends and you see something UFT/S you think we could 3-way trade for, PLEASE ask me first!
- Comment here or DM me if you want to ask about design trades or have some UFS/T designs you want gone
