UWAH I'd love to do a page trade actually!! >__< & I've been looking for an excuse to draw more pages AHA... I often end up giving up in the middle of my personal ones

For my side, I'd love if you could draw Pinu! in a similar style to the first sketchpage example you linked >w< please brace for impact because I will be sharing plenty of info HGHSG, here's what I'm thinking!!

- A larger fullbody/halfbody (your choice! all it has to be is the focal point of the piece) of him holding a cup of brown sugar pearl milk tea (...guilty pleasure of mine LMAO) with a straw in it!
Feel free to make the drink as pretty as you wish, n make sure the brown sugar looks like it's 'melting' into the milk tea + the tapioca pearls are visible (you can look up images if it helps!)
- A 'food chibi' - what it sounds like!! I have a whole collection of Pinu-thematic snacks here, I'd love if you could draw one or two of them with a chibi of Pinu hugging it (yeah , I have a thing)
- Bare with me here... a halfbody of Pinu holding up a hoodie (hoodie design here) and a pair of shorts on hangers, with a speech bubble and caption next to her with 'Should I be wearing shorts outdoors in the middle of winter...?' - I'd prefer the text to be hand written! not the biggest fan of how fonts look in art pieces ;c
Because that's a little difficult to understand, here's a quick visual I drew up! it's very chibi styled though, so you can draw the halfbody in more detail :3c
- A headshot of Pinu with a bedhead. just depict them like they just woke up. Make their hair and fur as messy as you can (sticking up in places, countless ahoges, have fun with it HEHE), looking loopy with one eye open?
- A very simple chibi headshot with them slurping instant ramen. Super simple!! Just a teeny one! Here's a visual of the instant ramen + its colours, but feel free to add highlights so it doesn't look so dead kaha
- These small cookies sprinkled around everywhere, as props! Such as how the flower petals are sprinkled about in your example

To help, here's a little sketch guide I have on depicting Pinu!! e.g. if you have trouble drawing his shoes, they are p accurate here ^.^
ALSO also, I'd prefer if the sketchpage didn't have a texture overlaid on it! Just flat colours is fine :~)

^ Please let me know if all that's ok!! I know it's a lot to behold HGHHAA you're totally free to match it with a equal level of complexity for my side ;D

as for that - I hope you don't mind that I toss you the form to fill out! please add as much detail as you can!! Maybe add in a tidbit of trivia or personality about your character - I love hearing all the little intricacies and it's esp important to consider for larger-scale works like this >:3c

Character Link:
Anthro or Feral:
What would you like (props, general layout, vibe, etc)? Describe it in detail!:
Character pose/expression/accessories/other:
Character-specific info (personality, trivia, story, etc):

I'd also prefer if we exchanged sketch WIPs to see if there is anything that needs changing! ^O^~
last of all, tell me if you'd like our pages to be shaded or not! I'm fine w doing either <3

HIHI SORRY IM QUITE BUSY TODAY!! and when you sent me that was 1 am, i will get back to u as soon as i can!!!! but yes id def be able to do all that!!! it sounds very fun hehe >:3c

KEHEHEE that's totally OK!! 1AM omg, I hope you got to sleep in the end T. T sounds awesome! I'll b eagerly waiting your character details ):3 !!!

HI HI i finally got a bit of free time to type oh god (its midnight. BWAHBWAHBWAHBWHA)
i also took so long because i kept thinking about which oc id liek you to draw but i think i finally settled on something hehehe

Notes about the stuff you sent: everything sounds ok!! i will probably do like 3 chibis hugging food since i LOOVE drawing food heheh, the large drawing will probably be a halfbody (since i already have an idea for it, but we will see) and tbh i never heard of sugar pearl milk tea before but it looks really good
I also dm handwritting stuff!! i also prefer it that way, my hand writting looks like this, is it ok??
Also i think you were already going to do that, but id prefer for you to wait for me to at least sketch my part firstjust so i know i wont give up since. im also. famous for giving up on. personal sketchpages. BWHABWAHBWHABHWA i just want to make sure it wont happen with u D;
Also² i def want it to not be shaded i feel like id die with the way i shade things /lh. (i color pick every single thing and then render on top of it it takes a lil while BNABNWA)


now for my form!

Character Link: https://toyhou.se/6497771.duke !! my lil guy!!!!! you drew him once i hope its ok for u to draw him agian!!!!!! >:]c hes a dnd character so if i say "party member" and "dungeon master" thats why snqmswnmq youre free to ask me stuff im sorry if this all is confusing!! english is not my main language and its even harder when its big blocks of text for me

Anthro or Feral: huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh human. BNWABNWA technically half human/half dragonborn
I could def pick a furry if you feel more confortable with it tho!

What would you like (props, general layout, vibe, etc)? Describe it in detail!:
I will do it toggle spoiler like you did!

i will try to keep it as with the "same ammount" of stuff as you asked for?? hopefully this makes sense
ALOT of these are inside jokes. so youre free to ask for me to change/explain stuff if youre just curious BWABHWA

- A halfbody/fullbody holding his rapier ! maybe ready to fight?? and him like >:D HELL YEAH.
- for the chibi foods i was thinking instead of being chibis of duke, maybe being his party members?? sicne theyre compeltely different charas idm you just being headshots!! here's their refs , but i understand if you want to just cut this one off >:]c i could come with something else up
- a halfbody of him holding a rope, looking excited "c'mon guys!! we've got chairs to ball!!" flapping his wings excitedly
- for props in the background, i was thinking maybe dnd dice??? this one in specific but i get if youre unconfortable, i bought this dice before knowing about all the bad stuff about bad dragon. just a red dice would be ok! whatever you feel most confortable tbh. or on the other hand,the props could be lil fire emojis!!
-  a headshot of him and a simple dog golden retriever with a double arrow poiting to both of them saying "same character" (hes very golden retriever coded) OR instead, just him with dog ears instead of his dragon ears saying "dog."
- a simple headshot of him holding a climbing potion saying "this could have been useful to prevent us from drowning.", kinda annoyedsweating a bit but mostly nervous/trying to laugh (context: he forgot he had that potion and almost got everyone drowned. so he would be like "woops hehe '^^ "). The climbing potion dont really have an image to represent it, but it describes as "The potion is separated into brown, silver, and gray layers resembling bands of stone. Shaking the bottle fails to mix the colors.", so you could do that or just green! (since its my personal imagination of it lol)

You're honestly free to do whatever tho!!!! theres a little backstory below

Character pose/expression/accessories/other:
i think i said everything above

Character-specific info (personality, trivia, story, etc):
spoiler trigger but now not only for you but by whoever im friends with that im in campaing with not to read his backstory too BSMWQNBSKWQ i trust them they wouldn't read it so :]c

this is copy pasted of the backstory i sent to my dungeon master, so im sorry if its formated weird!
also I'm so sorry this feels so much like an infodump. you're totally totally free to skip all of this and just see his personality instead. SMWQNSMW

He was born between a human bard and a dragon. like that donkey and dragon from the shrek movie idk dont ask me how that worked

Her mother is the dragon, her name is Aizagora and his dad is the bard his name is Alexandre. ref link tho i dont think you will use it

The bard was an adventurer, like in a party, just like dnd!! But npc NRNEJWJW
And they got a mission to invade a castle and steal something, they were offerign alot of g old so they just accepted it

They invaded at night when most people were sleeping and had to find the thing so they separated in small groups to cover as much ground aa possible. The bard ended up going to the dungeons and there they found the dragon (duke's mom) caged

The dragon could comunicate because they had like, a magic collar thing?? That translated anything they said in draconic to common, so thats pretty much how the bard and them communicated
The dragon had it from the castle, its also kinda like a shock collar if they refused to colaborate with the castle members

So they talked for a while, and the bard felt sorry for her so he decided to free her, seeing she really was just so tired from being imprisioned there for years

They coudlnt really be stealth anymore with a dragon on the
loose, so in end they ended up burning the entire castle NEBWHWHWHWHWH and the thing they were suppose to steal burned too but hey, at least they had a cool dragon friend now,,!,,

they went more on adventures and ended up getting close
I have more ideas about their dynamic, but its  not that important i think, if youd like for me to tell tho lmk
but yeah basically they had a thing and duke was born
After that the bard retired from the adventurer job and said farewell to his old friends to stay and be a father to duke

it was a very sweet home, well, actually a cave, no city really allowed a talking concious fire dragon to live on them
Duke learned draconian from his mother and common + Brazil from his dad

He used to tell him all the time about his adventures which is what motivated duke to start his owns!
He also really wanted to see more dragons like his mom, like hed love to see one of each type lmao

His dad also used to bring him to close by villages and cities both for School along wifh just like... Socializing in general NENWHWHWJHW to not be stuck inntje cave for his entire lfie

At the start of dukes advebtures, his dad, even if old, went with him to make sure his son wouldnt get hurt
Untill his dad found a lead that could help him find his old adventure friends, and rhats when they separated paths
Duke would love to have gine with him but his fahhwr refuses
Now duke is just rooting for him to be able to find them, and reunite again
And maybe finally meet his dad`s friend that he talked so much abkut

And he cant wait to go back to home to talk with his mom about his cool adventure and how he saved a clown (another party member) from being drowned

^^ this is the backstory, what happened before the campaign

this is waht happened in rpg so far, this is mostly so you can understand some of the inside jokes if youd like:
(also formatted weird since its a resume our DM gave to us)

Having been hired to deal with a rodent problem back in the walls of Damerel, our heroes work quickly, vanishing after refusing to hand over an amulet that they retrieved during their adventures in the sewers,  this very amulet had the power to summon hordes of rats (owned by kacis, which ref sheet i linked above), which given their previous predicament, the people of Damerel were not too happy about. Picking up a pet rat with the ability to cast a fireball on their way out, they began to wander together off into the woods to the next town in search of new adventure.

Along their travels, they would bump into an elven child whose name is now Onver Sourdirt.  Onver asked for their assistance to help save his dear friend from strange creatures that lumbered about the woods. These creatures would become known as the blights, it would later be revealed by an orc monk called Mazoga that these blights were once members of their small town but it's since been changed and twisted into these awful creatures, a former shell of who they used to be. She felt as if she had no choice but to ask our heroes for help, instructing them to the source of the blight, a large tree that seemingly sprung up overnight, having the source of the spreading disease, turning Woodlands gray and dead. Believing a druid that hailed from the town to be responsible, she asked the heroes to deal with the problem in exchange for some gold.

As they traversed the woods, they would stumble across an unconscious tiefling, deciding to assist him instead of rob him, he would introduce himself as Freddy, a member of a traveling circus who's just recently became separated from his family. With the help of Freddy they would locate the tree known as the Gulithias Tree,  fighting off a group of blights as they made their way up to the tree in search of the Druid, when it came time for combat, instead of their sharp weapons and harmful spells, they relied on their sharp tongues to convince the Druid to leave these words. To everybody's surprise it worked. (to everyone surprises because duke lied saying there were ghosts in the tree. no one expected it to work, and we frequently joke about us being the ghost busters if you want to do something related to this :] )  With the Druid gone they discovered within the cauldron a cure to the blight disease that would revert people back to their former selves if drunk. Scooping up a few extra bottles they destroyed the tree and returned to the town to give them the news. Freddy was unable to find the rest of his circus family so set off with the rest of our heroes to find them.
Upon moving to the next town they were attacked by slimes, after fighting them off they discovered Chappy town,  Chappy Town was in the midst of a very important celebration, a festival was being set up, however something was preventing the festivities from festivising. A rogue bard by the name of Davy had been attacking the town with his awful music and worse slimes, killing the mayor of Chappy Town’s beloved cats. He frantically begged our heroes to rid them of Davy and his awful hurdy gurdy. Infatuated with the mayor, they wasted no time in destroying Davy, and I mean absolutely obliterating him, man became a pile of ashes, his pronouns be was/ were.

Able to enjoy the festivities Chappy town had to offer, the mayor told Freddie that he had heard wind that his circus group had made their way to Port Shaw to perform, however the rest of the crew had discovered something a little more urgent, wandering off into the woods while Duke was passed out after drinking the hairball concoction (a beverage) , they discovered the druids pet spider and followed it to an old cabin deep in the woods where they discovered a sapling. Kacias decided to take the Sapling with them, keeping it in a jar. The mayor would then direct them to a port where they could find a dear friend of his by the name of Captain Riggs, informing them that this man could bring them to Port Shaw as a thank you for helping him rid the town of Davy.

Deciding to stick with Freddie in his search for his Circus, they made their way down to the port and discovered the captain they were searching for, being allowed passage on his ship they began to sail but things weren't as they seemed. Deciding to annoy the captain they stole his poison and replaced it with hair dye, and soon they would come across a shipwreck, the flying fortune. Captain Riggs decided to investigate with our heroes, but it turned out to be a trap as Captain Riggs was under the control of the black Leach and had attempted to backstab our party. Fortunately the party was able to rid him of the black Leach and declined his request to kill him, they decided to rid the world of the creature that had destroyed captain rigs ship and crew,  captain rigs described the creature as a brain eating monster that forced him to bring back unsuspecting sailors to their death. Traversing their way deeper into the fortune they found the layer of the beast, a strange ship with stranger technologies.

In the belly of the beast, arguments were had, horns were lost (freddy, also linked above, lost a horn because kacis hit him with a staff lol) , chairs were balled (duke tied a bunch of chair togheter to use as a way to keep the rope from falling down the hole while they were trying to climp) , but they were able to slay the creature, preventing further harm from coming to the world. As the ship self-destructed, our party narrowly avoided drowning, and have now returned to the ship to recover, continuing their way to Port Shaw in search of Freddy's Circus.





Personality wise he is very friendly, friendly to the point of being stupid. and trusting people too easily. Also easily manipulated but really really strong and reliable! he could lift your mood up with a few hugs :] very touchy type person. extroverted. if he sees you on the street he WILL strike a convo. this is a threat
Easily excited but as easily distracted, forgets stuff easily, only wants to be friends with everyone, only became a rogue because it sounded cool on paper but it goes totally agaisnt his morals stealing stuff lol



this is ALOOOT of text. im sorry in advance.

!! GAAH goodness that really IS a lot of text... X__X BUT IDON'T MIND AT ALL!! The extra info is vv helpful and exactly what I need to properly characterize the page, not to mention interesting content - ironically enough I read it all while trying to dodge sleep last night :'3 makes for a great 1AM read I'd like to say !

YAAYA food chibis for all! Me too, food is such a comfort draw for me - have fun illustrating them for my kid Pinu c; little tangent; you should definitely try brown sugar pearl mt if you ever get the chance, it's incredibly delicious (and photogenic HAHA!!) - just. make sure to lower the base sugar levels if you're permitted because it is painstakingly Sweet >__<''
yesyes your handwriting is totally ok!! Love to see it ^O^ and yes, for sure - feel free to shoot me the sketch when you can!! I'm totally good with flatcolour too! <3

I'd love to draw Duke omg!! he has a very fascinating backstory, but I just about died at the donkey n dragon comparison </3 JEFLP. Thoughts aside, I have some ideas already ! maybe I'll draw up an extra chibi duke conversing with the druid's tree with a terrifyingly Spooky expression on his face.. just a thought to nom on :3c
Some assorted queries:

- I can draw the party members, just let me know what kind of foods they prefer!
- Would the halfbody with him holding the rope captioned with the text you mentioned, or is that only for show?
- You forgot to link the dice AHAAHA if you could edit the comment and hyperlink it in that'd b awesome!

all aside everything sounds good to me!! I'd love to tackle this trade with you o7 Just let me know if you have any questions about Pinu, n I'll be sure to inquire with you if I have any of my own!

HIHIHI SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!!! IM IN THE MIDDLE OF TEST WEEK ON COLLEGE LOL sorry im kinda dying over here,,,
AND HELP SNWQMSNWQ idk if i should be happy you enjoyed or mad you were stayign that late reading stuff >:[[[ sleep is important (i say, when i sleep everyday at. 2 am.)
But im glad it was fun!!! i was just hoping it wouldnt be too bothersome!! im bad at big blocks of text so i just addume everyone has it too tbh lol

FOOD IS SOOO FUN TO DRAW im not sure why??? but i like drawing them hehehe
And i will def try!! boba tea is not that common in my country tho, so it might be hard to try it but i hope i can someday!! and dw i love me some veery sweet stuff >:D i used to drink mc donalds ovomaltine milkshake on a regular basis untill i noticed how unhealthy that was lol

and here's the sketch!! another thing that took me so long is that i wanted to finish the sketch before replyign woops. lmk if i need to change anything!! >:D
I also wanted to ask, since hes changing clothes + just waking up, which clothes hsould i draw them on??? like is there any pajamas youd like to draw them with?? :]c

BWHABWHABHWA IM GLAD I MADE YOU LAUGH that was the best explanation i could think of for. dukes backstory BHWABHWABH It makes me giggle

AND DAWNNN TAHTDBE SOOO CUTE!!!! the bottom right corner of my drawing looks a bit empty so i might sneak another lil chibi pinu on there hehehe i will see

- HELL YEAH!! will put it in spoiler then so it doesnt crample everything

I asked each of the players for their favorite foods!! only one of them replied and then we got distracted talking about my little pony lol, sothe other 2 im just giving them foods i think it fits :]

Freddy - the player described "Rocky Road ice cream with cherries and whipped cream, banana  and chocolate shavings" BHWAHBWA thats a MOUTHFULL youre free to just do the rocky road ice cream instead if thatdbe too much!!

Kacis - Dark chocolate! like those with high cocoa concentrations? he's very bitter on the outside and sweet on the inside so i think this is the closest thing that i can think that fits :]c other then. a random japanese candy i sound thats sour outside and sweet inside 

Mouthball - Kiwi !! i think it fits him both aesthetically and because theres a joke that we hate him and i hate kiwis so it fits (i adore him tho ok.)


- yes the halfbody with the rope would have the text mentioned!! >:Dc the halfbody doesnt need to have written the "hell yeah!!" tho lmao

- WOOPS SORRY HERES THE DICE BWHABWHBHAW

i'm having alot of fun so far!! i hope you have fun drawing duke and his silly friends too!! :]c
