An indulgent question I saw someone else pose on here..! Everyone likes hearing about other people liking their characters, I'm no exception! Let me know who your favorite character of mine is (and why, if you're feeling chatty about it)! I can reply by telling you who my favorite of *yours* is! <3

Oh my god bees you can't just present me with such a golden opportunity to ramble about your characters
Like I'm gonna be able to pick just ONE

1) Current holder of place one on account of being one big callout made for Me, Specifically: Happy Swindle. Just. Just. HOW did you make a character that appeals entirely to my aesthetic (tall, lanky, Too Many Bones with bonus horns, hooves and tail, and also a frankly adorable tooth gap) while ALSO appealing to a lot of things I really love in a character's personality? I mean I've rambled about him before, but fuck do I love me a conflicted character to whom kindness does not come naturally but who is trying. He's trying, and maybe he kinda sucks at it but he tries so hard to be better and man if that isn't a mood and a half. I love him. I am rooting for him. Please keep me informed of his further adventures, I want to know how he fares.
(also that topless, just-outta-bed artwork should be Forbidden he is Too Hot what is this sorcery)

2) Chalawan was my favorite for a long time, because I love both his design and his story. I'm a sucker for retellings of fairy-tales, and for long sparkly noodles, so that checks out. I'm amused by your love of This One Dynamic (powerful man meets headstrong, determined girl, shenanigans ensue) but like- you've explored it in many fun and creative ways, it's always a delight to see what you make.

3) Ayşe is My Girl. I love her so much?? She's so badass, she kicks ass and she takes no shit but she's also caring and kind. She smashed Theo's nose and I am HERE for this. I also really appreciate the thoughtful, respectful way her blindness is portrayed, as well as her relationship to her mother and the people around her. She's just- such a rounded, full character? You can easily believe she exists, she's an entire person and she's such an interesting person. I really love Woven and I'm super excited to see where her story goes.

4) AH! gets a special mention because she cracks me the fuck up every time I see her, but also I love that she's- chaotic neutral, and it shows sometimes. Her backstory is unsettling, and for all she's adorable she's also really- detached? Like she doesn't seem to quite grasp the world around her, for better or worse. It's a really interesting take, for me.

5) Ishavan and Tristan get special mention for just being unfairly pretty. Their more monstruous shapes, that is. Idk man I'm a sucker for your artwork, and I love that "unsettingly long, weird boned monster" thing you got going with a lot of your characters. Tristan especially is My Aesthetic like whoa. Also he needs a hug D:

Anyway I love your characters thank you for giving me a chance to ramble about some of them :p

kdsjhfs ; 0; this makes me so happy to read aaaa Especially your love for Swindle makes me giddy skjhf oh man <3

I love u and I LOV UR CHARACTERS I'm pretty biased in my love of Mothified! I loved drawing her so damn much aaaa she's such a beautiful little beastie <3 But also--your death gods, the crows. They have such a dark folklore feel to them, their names and roles/stories are mMMM SO DAMN GOOD I kind of would love to do an illustration of all them together. It crossed my mind while I was drawing Moth, and the idea hasn't left my brain since lmao Those ominously named caw dieties have some serious staying power in my brain..!!

Swindle is my son and I am rooting for him, I LOVE HIM what a disaster of a man. Please he needs a hug

And duuuuude I would love to see your take on the death gods someday, holy shit. That would be so many kinds of awesome. Commissioning you for something big is definitely up there on my bucket list of Things To Do When I Have A Steady Income, I love your art so much <3 Hopefully sooner than later! I'm really flattered they stayed with you, though, that's rly cool! I'm pretty proud of their concepts and designs, so it's awesome to hear that others like them too~
And I'm glad you like the names! I had a blast finding names from them with some help from my friend Delta-Hexagon, whom you should check out if you like ominously named characters btw. I think they're pretty good descriptive names, for all they are a pain to actually use :p

I love Happy Swindle, mostly because I absolutely love firbolgs and i get really excited to see other ppl with firbolg characters! I also love the mushroom staff he has, along with his constant smug >:) expression. I also love Ah a lot, mostly because I think kenkus are cute and her design/art is super adorable.

oh my!
I love all your characters very much bc they all have such unique design and backstorys!
However, if i had to choose a favorite or two, it would be either swindle or Thomas.

It's not only their design that really drew me in, it's the whole personality they both display.

I really like about Swindle that he has this cheekyness and shine of mischief within his eyes, like it's amlost impossible to tell his true intentions and thoughts, that makes him even the more interesting and intriguing
(also for a HC for me personally, he looks like he always has an Sarcastic undertone to his words and likes to make wordplays and puns with a cheeky grin xD)

to thomas, his overall design, personality to overall story gives me this almost nostalgic vibe, like a story told in black and white with a gruffy voice telling a sad tale.
or like when i used to watch these old school detective movies and Sherlock holmes series.
He just seems like a great character to me and i'd love to hear more of him in the future ^^
(and i hope what i say makes even sense haha)


Aw man, both of those characters are very special to me--Thomas is staight-up my most sentimentally significant character and one who's held the #1 place in my heart for over a decade. It tickles me to hear that these two characters are your favorites <3 Your head canon of Swindle is also 100% on point LOL

From your kids, I have to say, Vilutum really grips me! There's just so much to him and his story, and his design builds upon the intrigue..! He's such a narratively rich and beautifully designed character!! ; 0; <3

yee i really love these two babs they just got me ^^
and i'm happy to hear that my HC is so accurate lol xD

Ayee yee many of my Characters need bios, pictures and much more but yeee i gotta say Vilutum is actually one of my Fav as well : D
I'm glad to hear you like him as well!

(not gonna lie, i was planning at some point doing fanart of him and one of your Oc's, but of course only if it's okay!)

kjhfsdlj aaAA I am flattered you'd even *want* to draw my kids ; 0;!! You'd be more than welcome to 'em!

fhigudh yess i will <3 I love them all so much and love to draw them
I'll make sure to tag you on DA when i do! (^-^)/

Sunny for sure! Everything is so cute, from design to clothing to personality!

aw, I'm so happy you like my Sunny pup! <3 Of your crew, I gotta say, Fischer stood out to me! His character design is so adorable and his nonverbal tendencies reminds me of my own little brother <3

Oof you have some of the most amazing characters <3 I adore Bees, Prince Soan of Autumn, Rook, Bird, and Kiki!!

aaa that's such a broad selection, thank you!! <3 I am so glad you like my kiddos!! You've got so many gorgeous characters, too!! I have a very obvious bias though, to Bee Rosalynn! Her design is so nice, I'm keen on seeing what kind of a story/personality you cook up for her!!

Ah thank you so much! I have her story made, just haven't had the chance to type it up yet on her TH <3 I will soon tho

ROOK AND PAWNIE,,,,,,,,, they're BLESSINGS

oh man haha! I am so happy you like them!! There's a little isometric puzzle game planned out for them..! I look forward to one day being able to develop it! Of your characters, Linus and Gavi are so up my alley in terms of their design and apparent personalities skjf they look so good ; 0; <3!!

omg??????? id buy 3 copies of that game tbh

thank you ;o;;

I have to second on Ishavan. I LOVE his design. I suppose he just sort of...brings together a lot of things I find  aesthetically pleasing, such as weird monsters, feathers, cryptids (he reminds me of one of those "sea serpent" carcasses that are actually decomposed beaked whales), water, warm climate and abandoned/overgrown architecture.  Plus the whole concept of the drowned city and his relationship to Maika, I'd love to hear more of their adventures.

I also really like Fleur, concept-wise. Her profile is very short but it raises so many questions, plus I love the art of her (it once again feeds into stuff I find aesthetically pleasing, though this time the "overgrown" thing is a person not a piece of architecture) . Bird I've liked since charahub days. And Taliesin seems to have a really cool arc forming, it's nice hearing how he's coming along whenever you post a new picture of him.

I like reading your character profiles in general, because you don't make them overly cluttered and they always manage to both explain the setting and make the reader interested to hear more.

oh man, thank you so much! I love writing their profiles and giving a nice vertical slice into their world/stories! I'm so happy to hear that they read well! <3 Of your kiddos, I gotta say, aesthetically, Siegfried charms me the most! But Hehlel's story, and her relationship with the half-demon that caused her banishment is totally my cup o tea!! :D You've got such wonderful, colorful characters, Boss!!

Hahah, senpai noticed me. :P I feel flattered and a bit self-concious because my profiles tend to be a mess. I don't really have much of a filter for what's necessary information so I end up throwing it all in. I'm really happy to hear that you think my characters are wonderful and colorful though.

You aren't the only person who likes Siegfrieds' aesthetics. XD Though for me he's...the kind of an old OC of whom I don't have much of an opinion of nowadays. He was for a roleplay series that fell on its face and died right out the gate so I've only ever drawn him once and he's actually severely under-developed which likely impedes my ability to appreciate his design. Glad to hear you like Hehlel though. I loved her story and roleplaying through it as well. :D Somehow that series was soooo much more light and fluffy than the stuff I'm participating in nowadays, despite being essentially about a banished angel kickstarting The Apocalypse.

Theo and Cortes;0;

Two good kids who can do no wrong!! hhh I wanna work more with Cortes and her short story ksjdhf someday! WELL, OF YOUR KIDS I OBVIOUSLY LOVE MEP CUZ I LOVE YOU. Also Pepper, for big ol' sentimental reasons... And Six because your passion for him and all the love you've put into his character is infectious ; o; <33!! THEY'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL KIDS, PEP.

I love cortes so much TT__TT she is best girl. u must,, tell me if u do FNRJKGERG HEY!!!!! lkjfghrek NOOO I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

hjrgkrt huuuuu TT___TT these mean a lot to hear wtf ty benpis u made my day

Omg...it's a hard pick you have so many gorgeous kids but I gotta say Ishavan, I absolutely adore deity characters, especially the idea of ones that can change forms at will and don't have a corporeal form of their own. Also he's just got a fantastic design, both human and dragon ;o; the best fluffy noodle man

aww haha thank you! I am so glad you like him! He is definately one of my favorite designs to work with..! J did such a beautiful job designing his noodle form, And Geegs killed me dead with the human design ; u; <3 Of your kids, I gotta say Nyra is probably my fave! I got a soft spot for a good magical bird <3!!!
