hihi! i've been doing a lot of pen drawing lately, and would love to take some commissions ^^

overview...
❥ will draw humans, or pouflons/vespires/ursukis!
❥ these will be PWYW, with a minimum of $10 paypal / 15c (pouflons currency).
❥ my pen drawings are not intended to be polished - they are looser and less detailed
❥ you might get a bust, halfbody, fullbody, or multiple drawings. it's a surprise!
❥ if there are aspects of the character you feel are important to mention, absolutely please do! requesting expressions or poses is fine
❥ and lastly, please be sure to read my terms of service. there will be no approval stage for these, and so no refunds.

to contact me...
❥ comment on this bulletin
❥ message me here, on toyhouse
❥ message "snicket." on discord

eeehehehehe.... meme time

1. Which of your characters represent you the most?
   whabam, bunney my sona
   in terms of personality? that's a really hard one to answer, being a system means we all kinda just... project onto various ocs, making it extremely difficult to have a clear answer for this for any of us
2. Which of your characters represent you the least?
   unsure how to quantify, but for sure any villains
3. What is your favorite design you made?
   oh gosh, hard q.... i have a good few i like a lot still. this old one, this came from some dreams, skip, samhain, turmeric, ink... im far more picky about the designs i make nowadays vs the ones ive made in the past
4. What is your favorite design you own?
   surprising very few people, fable inna
5. What is your biggest yet-to-obtain dreamy?
   dont have anything id consider a dreamie type design, and i would definitely feel odd linking to an oc i dont even own
6. What is your most prized achieved dreamie?
   again, dont really consider designs dreamies KJSHDFLKGDS
   i did wind up catching maranga as a resale after really, really falling in love with its design when it first went up. shelly also really caught my eye quick. if i see something i like, i pretty much dive right in
7. What is your oldest character?
   my TRUE true oldest was an anthro deer oc i dont remember very well
   otherwise, i like 2 say the reason i ever started drawing was because i wanted to be able to show the krotech siblings to my friend at the time
8. What is your newest character?
   farrell :-]
9. Favorite feral character you own?
   there's a few! itty bitty, starbug, flat, citrine, and hallow are among ones i think of fastest
10. Favorite human(oid) character you own?
    eeehehehehe.... well... you see, [breaks out sweating]
    some top favs are velour, inna, pinip, zeitgeist and lazarus, saiph, the moonstrum, the traveler, pia, briony, and ill stop myself there
11. Favorite anthro character you own?
    i dont do anthros anymore KLJSHDLFKS i had a bunch in middle school though
    i guess ink might count since zie's a dragonborn LOL
12. First original species character you obtained?
    midveil! indi was my first guy there
13. What characters were the first you had in other species you've joined?
    there's no question 13 so i'm adding my own question. tee hee
    lily was my first floplop; pebble is my first and only in pouflons; jj was my first in guide and seek
14. What character do you plan to shower with love next?
    no clue! whoever grabs my heartstrings/attention is who gets spoiled. i have a tag of maybe ~30+ ocs i like getting art of
15. What character holds the most $$$ value?
    i dont track it, so idk actually LOL
16. What character has the most art?
    teeeechnically my sona, but that's quickly followed by characters from my dnd campaign chrystalis, indi, and currently 'most active' is jj
17. What character has the most favorites?
    the unseen fable and forsythia have very many, but out of all thatve gotten favorites while under my ownership, fable inna takes the cake
18. Any characters you co-own?
    im not one for co-ownership!
19. If you had to give up all your ocs but one, which would you keep?
    id literally die first, ummmm i cant choose one but cannella, fable inna, velour, the moonstrum, the traveler, jj, amaiyah. chessa.... i cannot choose favorites so easily bc i love them all for different reasons
20. Any characters based off of show/book/movie/game?
    kind of?! i draw inspiration from media of course, but i don't intentionally convert a character into an oc
    the moonstrum is inspired by howl pendragon personality-wise; indi is vaguely based on lemony snicket, mostly just in vibes; 
21. Your smartest character?
    hmmmmm... most well studied is velour or the unseen fable; best at maneuvering social situations is the moonstrum or chessa; technologically, amaiyah; magically is fable asja and sasa; most knowledgeable in being baby is itty bitty
22. Your clumsiest character?
    oh this is EASY it's surely saiph
23. Your evilest character?
    [redacted] who is the villain of my dnd campaign
24. Your sweetest character?
    i wish rewta was MY mom
25. Do you have a season/holiday themed character?
    i guess samhain, who is meant to be a spring-based design with an ironically fall-themed name
26. A character you are currently wanting to rehome more than any?
    not anything extremely bad, just unsold adopts or these guys i havent found myself using
27. Which of your character's names do you like most?
    citrine terracotta, ddraig, vaði, itty bitty, juice, fizzipop (laurel's critter form), lazarus and zeitgeist kierst bc it sounds like cursed, pia, the moonstrum... any name i find that i like, i write in a list for later :>
28. Which character have you drawn most?
    probably cannella, cadence, or going way back then scarlet KJSDHFLGKJDSHL bunney is not counted here bc any rabbit i doodle is counted
29. Any hybrid characters?
    wish i knew what tha hell this meant
30. Your most unique character?
    tee hee. there are a lot probably, i feel like as always inna stands out. reath is a design i worked hard on perfecting. samhain feels very unique especially for his leaf shapes. my guides and seekers are easy to point to tho... arum feels special, maranga and pinip, rife, mimsy, the other fables

i saw others do it and now its my time. i stole it from [insert many names] n even if i take this down in a few days... fun...... reminds me of deviantart journal memes
as with all things, i am very wordy X)

• linking ocs: i don't even use this function for my own characters 😭 im not against it, i just forget it exists
• dms: anytime! if you have my discord, you can dm me there as well. i usually prefer toyhouse dms for coordinating fast trades/offers, and discord for more involved trades or commissions
• voice chat/call with me: i am a little freaklet and i will probably hop in server calls with anyone at least once if we've chattered a bit, but i get nervous about 1 to 1 direct/dms calls because anxiety brain. im a social creature given the right enclosure!
• see pics of me: this is the closest you get (i have reason to be paranoid about putting my face out in public spaces, so i keep my privacy!)
• art inspiration: i have like 2 interpretations of this q
  • my inspirations: a mishmash of so many things... it was easier to pinpoint specific things when i was young and grasped tightly to the styles of artists i loved. most notably, i loved osamu tezuka (mostly astro boy/mighty atom), hiromu arakawa (esp. fma), and masaaki yuasa for his work on kaiba.
  • using my art as inspiration: of course, as long as you aren't just jacking my entire style! i do doodles where i at times try to mimic aspects of someone else's style, be it for practice, fun, or curiosity; i tend not to post these as often, if at all. i do not condone tracing my art ever.
• design inspiration: another i have 2 interpretations for!
  • my inspiration: maaaany places!!!!! im more deliberate with my designs than i used to be, which is both good and bad LOL, a lot of times i see one specific aspect of a design that peaks my interest, but the rest of the design isn't too interesting to me, so i hang onto that idea. i like to write them down somewhere (....and hope i dont forget where....), come back to them later when the original design i saw isn't fresh in my memory, and work from there. it makes me far less prone to accidental copying than the times i sit and slam out a sketch.
  • using my designs as inspiration: yes, to a degree! while i do believe that any artist's interpretation will vary from the original or that i am attached to the way i incorporate something because of how i hem and haw over things, i'm not against seeing someone else work with a similar concept. as long as they are not so similar you would think they're related designs, however arbitrary that may sound, it's basically a "dont copy and we're good"
• co-owns: not for me.... my brain goes haywire, but if you co-own then i hope it works out for u
• asking 4 pings: i will likely forget i am so sorry
• asking to offer: you miss every shot you dont take, but ocs on this account generally are staying with me until i die or release them into the wilderness
• putting my ocs in dreamie folders: i prefer not, if you intend to link that folder as what u seeking in trades ; ___ ; im not one for accepting unsolicited offers... 
• is fanart/gifts okay?: i would be purely flattered
• are headcanons okay?: from people ive talked to about my ocs, yeah!! i take it as a riffing thing, like "would they do this"
• is shipping okay?: with people ive discussed the details of!
• is kinning okay?: this is a solid no. my ocs are very personal in ways that i do not put out publicly, and they aren't part of any webcomic or published story that details the characters very well. to have someone assume they wholly know my character is not only uncomfortable for me, but holds a lot of presumptions about the character, most likely. if something about my ocs resonates with you, i am happy about that! i only ask that you recognize that this is different from knowing the character as i created them to be.
• is fanfiction/writing okay?: i prefer this from people who ive talked in depth about my characters before!! the only exceptions i could think of are a few of my guide&seek characters, if treated somewhat like an npc
• is using your characters as icons and such okay?: nope </3 i know some of them are v cool/pretty but these fellas are my squeaky toys
• can people draw their characters with yours?: same as fanfic/writing question, but a little broader! im more open to it :>
