Q&A

ART TRADING / MINIGAMES 

Can I draw ____ for DTPAY?
See my DTPAY Permissions

Are you open for art trades?
See my trade thread!

Can I post art you made for me on [insert website here]? 
Yes! Please link back to my TH account.

Can I put a watermark on art you made of my character?
Honestly I feel weird about someone else's watermark being on something I drew, and would prefer that you didn't- but if you feel strongly about it, I'm not going to stop you.

Can I use art you made for me for commercial purposes? 
I'm okay with my art 'adding value' to characters for sale purposes (even gifted/traded art).
However, don't use my art for other commercial purposes without getting my permission first.

Will you send me the originals? 
If I made a traditional or partially-traditional work for you, feel free to ask for the original, I will mail it to you if possible! (sketchbook stuff may have other images on the same page/back) 

Do you do commissions? 
See my Commissions bulletin!

Do you do requests? 
I usually only do requests for RPG party members.
I occasionally host request streams on my Twitch channel that are open to everyone. These happen randomly, whenever I feel like it.

You made a mistake on a piece for me, can you fix it?
If I drew something wrong, please message me and I'll try my best to put it right! It's ok to ask even if the art was a gift!

Can I edit art you made for me?
Yeah, I'm ok with that. Please make a note in the description that you edited it tho!
But first, feel free to message me and ask me to make the change, I will if I can!

I made you art in a minigame/artfight, can I submit it directly to your gallery? 
Yes, feel free!
I'm also fine with uploading it myself.

Can I just randomly draw your characters? 
Yes, and please show me when you're done!
Please follow my permissions!

Does _____ have pupils?

Sometimes I don't draw characters' pupils, it's just a stylistic choice, unless stated otherwise! If you would normally draw pupils, please go ahead and draw them with them!

Can I draw our characters together? 
It depends on the character, message me and we can discuss! 


CHARACTER TRADING 

Are any of your characters UFT? 
I don't typically have any up for trades. Feel free to offer, though!
I won't trade a character with the 'played' tag, and none with the 'NPC' tag, except those in the 'Grab Bag' folder.
I'm most likely to accept USD [paypal, kofi] or art offers. I won't accept virtual currency. 

Can I put your character in my 'dreamie' folder? 
I don't mind! Just keep in mind I rarely trade characters I make unless I have the intention of selling or trading them when I make them.  

Are you looking for characters? 
I'm not actively looking for characters, but if you have a character in my faves, a character who matches my design wishlist, or want to offer a custom, feel free to message me!  
I'm most likely to do a trade with you if you want art or a custom design in return. I might also consider USD offers, but I'm really picky with those.
Please do not offer me characters whose designers are not properly credited, or who have any uncredited art.

Can I [...] a character you made for me?  
Any character I designed can be gifted/traded/sold/redesigned/deleted/used for NSFW* (*within TH rules, obviously)
You may design relatives for a design of mine that you own / 'breed' the character.
Selling it for a higher price than you got it for is fine by me.
If you want to just get rid of the character, consider offering it back to me, but, if you don't want to do that, it's fine, do whatever you want with it! 


CHARACTERS / ROLEPLAY 

Want to relate our characters / RP? 
I'm not really great with text RP, I much prefer to play RPGs in a synchronous group setting. Feel free to invite me to a game!
I'm open to making 'headcanons' or discussing scenes between our characters to draw!

Can I ask a question about a character? 
Sure, message me, or comment on their profile!

Can I take inspiration from your characters? 
If a character was created by me, I'm okay with you drawing inspiration from their stories or design, within reason. Nothing in this world is truly original, so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Just don't use my art for them.
For RPG NPCs, I'm totally fine with you using them as they are in your game. Message me and tell me about their adventures! Just do not reupload them or claim them as your own.
If they were not designed by me, follow the creator's TOS. 


FAVORITES

If a character is in your faves, does that mean you want them? 
Characters in my 'Cool Designs' folder are just characters I admire aesthetically.  
'Cool Characters' is for characters with unique/unusual designs, or aspects of their backstory or personality that I think are interesting.
I'm not particularly looking to acquire these characters, but if a trade were offered to me, I might consider, depending on the character. You can ping me if you want. 

Do you want characters in 'Might Offer On'?
Characters in 'Might Offer On' are characters I'm considering buying or trading for. I might still be on the fence about them, so talk to me before acquiring them for a trade with me.
I only add characters who are actively for sale or trade to that folder.

What's with 'Ambers'? 
That folder is for characters named Amber. My name is Amber and I'm just interested in seeing what kind of trends people attach to my name.  I'm not looking to acquire any of these characters. 


PODCASTS / ACTUAL PLAY

Where can I see your Actual Play work? 
I play on and produce The Bear Table Podcast. I also occasionally appear on Midgardia's Twitch streams / YouTube.

Which characters are from AP? 
The Bear Table 
Guin (Syzygy- campaign) [Avani, Remy and Dirt are NPCs from this campaign]
Ann (For the Queen- oneshot)
Blazeweed (Warrior Cats Adventure Game- oneshot)
Gail (Grandma Club- oneshot)
Sylver (Petals and Pistols- campaign) (not yet released)
Scattle (Drywater- campaign) (not yet released)
Midgardia
Winifred (Gozan Revolution- oneshot)
Zoya (The Noble Rot- oneshot)
Xylas (Frozen Sick- oneshot)
Patience (Koboldly Go- campaign)

Do I need to listen/watch the streams to draw the characters? 
No, feel free to draw them regardless!


PERSONAL

Who are you? 
I'm Amber, I'm 28 and I (unfortunately) live in the USA.
You can call me Phini! 

What are your pronouns/gender? 
pronouns; she/her
gender; come back with a warrant
I'm okay with being referred to with any pronouns or genders if it's for a meme or reference.

What's Phosphini mean?
It's a reference to the visual phenomena of phosphenes!

How do you pronounce Phosphini? 
Phos - like 'fauc'et
Phi - like 'fee' (this syllable emphasized)
Ni - like 'knee'

Why do you sometimes draw yourself with an eyepatch / one eye? 
I have anisometropia. I came very close to losing vision in one eye as a kid, and still have very bad vision in it. I sometimes do wear a corrective eyepatch over my good eye, to try and train my bad eye into seeing better. I usually don't do this in public, because people get weird about it, and it gives me a headache, and I run into stuff.
Drawing myself with one eye is my way of representing that. 

Do you have a sona? 
Yes- Phos! She's a straightforward representation of me, no separate backstory or anything. 


If you have further questions, please message me!
