sikuriini I adore the way you line your art! I always find myself appreciating art styles that are simple and neat. The thick lineart really suits your characters in my opinion! It's difficult to describe why I think so but maybe it's because your characters have a cartoon vibe to them? Speaking of characters, I love that you have different types of characters. I see a human, object heads, robots, and others! It's definitely nice to see the versatility. And lastly, I love how you designed almost all your characters. It really gives a personal feel to them and makes me think that you care for your characters ♥.
This thread is basically very similar to https://toyhou.se/~forums/5865.forum-games/33525.praise-compliment-the-oc-above-you- except instead of praising an OC, you praise the user.
Rules:
1: You are allowed to compliment anyone about anything you like about the user above. This includes but is not limited to: art, profile, characters and worlds. Please don’t be a simpleton and just say a few words about them e.g. your hair looks nice, You art is good, I like your profile pic, ETC.
2: You are allowed to compliment the same user as many times as you want however, you cannot spam the same compliment to them because I would find that quite annoying if I just got the same compliment from the same guy every single time
3: Weather you know the user above or not, you can make your compliments as long as you want but as rule 1 says, don’t just say a few words. You can prevent this by explaining why you like something about the user above e.g. your hair looks nice because I love how smooth it looks and the colour really suits you as well!
4: Like every other thread that I have made, once you’ve made your comment, please do not comment again until two users comment or unless 24 hours have passed. If no one else comments by then, you may simply advertise something about yourself or simply say “bump”
5: Do not compliment yourself unless the situation from rule 4 occurs. Self-advertisement will be the only form of self-complimenting that I will be allowing on this thread.
6: If you are skipped, message me as soon as possible and I will either take action on the thread or I will share a compliment for you.
7: Offensive or negative comments about a user is an immediate ban from this thread regardless of the situation. This is a positive post that spreads positivity about our users so please just leave your s**t outside!
8: Just like with rule 6, if you do experience anything that you find mean, offensive or anything of the sort, then message me as soon as possible and I’ll let you know what happens from there.
9: If you wish to draw something for someone, go right ahead! Just as long as the receiver is okay with it and that you don’t draw anything about hate of any kind UNLESS this is asked for by the receiver!!! This is also a bannable offence and, depending on the severity of the hate, you could be banned from my future threads!!
10: You are allowed to post links outside of toyhouse although, as you probably know by now, this should not advertise hate of any kind. Yes, this is also a bannable offence from this thread and potentially, my future threads depending on the severity of the offence.
11: The only offences that will not get you a permenant ban are swearing, gore and nudity (DRAWINGS AND 18+ ONLY!!! ANYONE CAUGHT DRAWING GORE/NUDITY FOR MINORS WILL ONLY BE WARNED. REPEATED OFFENCES WILL BAN YOU FROM THE THREAD ONLY)
Examples of things that will never be accepted here include but are not limited to: Rasicm, Hate Crime, Threatening, Encouragement of Suicide or Murder or anything that involves the death of a living being, Bullying, Offensive Jokes.
I will be very, very strict with this so there’s no point taking chances in this thread.
You may start with me first! If you wanna go first, just say “I’m first!” It’s fine if you do that, I ain’t complaining about that
I love the world idea you have already! I never thought of magic being harmful like radiation. I mean I def wouldn't have also thought of the very magic that created the gods could kill them too! I totally would read the rest when you write more!
Also I love the consistent look of your characters, they look like they really would live together.
(Don't mind me, reviving this)
JumpScared Your character's designs are very unique imo, I love how dynamic they look and their palettes are very nice to look at! I think Flit and Ranthy are my favourite! I also love the plant elements I can some find in your designs, they really please my aesthetic haha- c:
Heyy thank you sm!! Glad you're enjoying my games!
I love your characters! They're all so greatly designed and colorful! They're all fleshed out characters that have great stories attached to them. Your art is so good too, I love the simplicity of colors and softness vibe of it! And I also appreciate the forum games you've made, They're so fun and interesting ^ ^
Imo your characters' relationship with each other are so wholesome and realistic! The clashing personality traits yet they manage to get it together is what makes most of them charming imo :0 I also enjoy the slice of life vibe they have! Most of them are fleshed out w a balanced personality. They've got a pretty simple and solid designs that are memorable.
I think you're a wonderful person. You're art is amazing (? especially for your age what the heck you talented potato! ) and you're super nice to talk too! I really like talking about how our character's would interact even though it was just for a brief moment/ask meme on instagram. I'd love to see what you make this year man :)!

Agsgsgegegegw I'm dead thank you so much 😭(< an accurate depiction of me right now)
your art has always stood out to me and is super unique tbh?? like... it gives me MAJOR Picasso and Van Gogh vibes, which I can't help but adore because I'm a huge art history nerd + those types of styles are hella rare (especially in the digital art world)- ngl, something about the brush strokes stands out to me as a whole, as well as your use of colors. like... you can still feel the Picasso/Van Gogh vibes, but it's also its own thing if you know what I mean ufdyvgcsyc-
the lore you've made is also pretty interesting, especially the characters. they're realistic yet memorable at the same time, and although I don't know much about them atm, I'm already pretty interested in them and how their arcs will go. their designs are also just... really unique in general, especially in the hairstyles and outfits?? not to mention that I'm weak af for vintage settings + dead/ghost characters lmao- even outside of your lore projects, your characters have such creative concepts behind them that I can tell they were made by you right when I see them!!
I can't word for shit, but honestly, seeing you and your characters in the forum games is always a welcome sight, and I hope you continue creating in 2020!! :0

- jYGDCUCHDC OKAY HONESTLY I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS THREAD TO BE REVIVED SO SEEING THAT WAS JUST. WILD. either way that's so fucking sweet ty?? I'm still as terrible with wording myself now as I was a month ago when I made my initial response, but it's always nice learning that people like my characters and content lmao. it means a lot coming from you too, as I've low-key admired you and your work for a bit now, and I honestly enjoy seeing you on the forums as well!!
honestly though considering that I'm going off to college this year, I have no idea how my art will be affected, but hopefully I'll have enough time to keep writing at least every so often - whether it be in forum posts or just... Literatures in general idk. :"DD
OH GOLLY RUSTY I SURE AM GLAD YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON WHO POSTED BC I HAVE SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY TO YOU even though im bad at expressing things im gonna try my best to put it all down as best as i can
First of all, I admire all of your characters and their lore so much. So much detail goes into each one, and they all are so interesting both on their pwn and in relation to your other characters. I always love seeing ones I haven't seen before, and I love how much you put effort into every part of their stories. For example, the fact that you even have type preferences picked out for M. Pourife, who doesn't even have a pokemon, shows a lot of planning and detail and I really hecking admire that!!
Second, your art is honestly beautiful. I love the coloring style, I love how expressive it is, and I absolutely love seeing when you draw multiple characters in the same picture bc I love seeing their interactions!! (especially some of the ones with Fitzgerald!!) I also love how you have cat designs and human designs for them, and I'm always excited to see them for each character!!
Next, I love your writing!! Seeing you in the forum games is always fun, and I love getting to interact with your amazing characters. You have so much detail in your writing too; you are really good at expressing characters' emotions through it, and their personalities come through so easily in your writing. Honestly you're my favorite person to see in the forum games on this entire website, and I really admire and look up to you and your work!
Rusty, please continue your amazing work!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!
okay so first off; your avatar is really cute, colorado is a really awesome looking character and I love his whole vibe like a lot. the colour scheme of your profile and it's cohesiveness with your avatar is so pretty, and really pleasing on the eye as I'm reading it. often pastel type profiles end up being unbearably hard to read for my crappy eyes as much as I love those colour schemes, so it's actually super nice to see one that doesn't give me a headache LOL. you have a lot of super adorable characters ;v; pretty much your whole mains folder has my heart, as previously mentioned I adore Colorado, and I'm also a huge fan of Asher and Aaren! they have such pretty colour schemes <3 finally, your art is adorable, as someone with exactly 0 knack for traditional art I'm always extra impressed by artists who can pull it off, and I really love the way you draw fur! it makes your characters look so fluffy and adorable!!
so first i wanted to touch on your art, and from a first glance, it's cute! but from a more in-depth look at your art tab, i can see how versatile your artstyle is and how many it seems to seamlessly apply for all sorts of things, from ferals and chibis to anthros to pixels to animations! it's neat to see how you've pretty much gotten it down accross the board with a consistant stlye for all these different types of art :0
design wise, what really stood out to me was your color palettes! theyre unique and bright, and the way you blend contrasting colors together in designs is something i don't see a lot! it's a nice mix of designs that contrast and compliment colour-wise and it's all very neat for my eyes to look at
finally, character wise, i only skimmed a little or else i'd be here for a while, but it's clear that theres thought and love put into your characters! for those who have bios, their bios have enough detail for you to get a good feel of the character without being super wordy, and your writing style has a bunch of personality to it! i like candy she's cool
conclusions hard but! i think your stuff is neat and keep doin what youre doin >wo

NOW WHERE TO START because I feel like I see you all the time on threads like this. My brain may not be working at the moment, but I feel as though I can safely say that, from what I've seen, you're always sort of peppy and it seems you like to bring people up, which is easily respectable. literally, bless your soul. whenever you're on the forums, i just feel a weird sense of positivity.
but now... i've never actually looked at your profile before, which is honestly a real shame because--
1: whenever i see someone also into some form of biology, it's like i've been hydrated in the middle of a drought [even though i am a fool and already know too many other people into it]
2: in general, i just think the way you've laid out + written your profile is sort of funny. PokeAU's description gave me a stupid little chuckle.
Looking into your library, too, I can easily say that you have a good handle on detail + characterization in writing. [i read the entirety of odd keystone just now and i really like it--] It also automatically made me a huge fan of Orchid. What a sweet, wonderful wife, may she rest in peace. All of your OCs, or at least the ones I've read/skimmed through, are all well-written and I can tell you put a lot of work into them.
They are awesome, you are awesome, I love you. Keep it up, I'm going to sub to you now just so I can keep an eye out v_v
arcanine is the best dogmon
okay so even if I've only really started seeing you around in the forum games fairly recently, I can't help but enjoy your presence in the threads?? your efforts to revive certain games strikes me as.... wholesome in a way, and I gotta commend you for that sweet, sweet dedication. also, it's just nice knowing that there's another fairly active user in this particular part of the forums; I can't explain for shit as to why I appreciate that so much, but... it just comes off as neat in a way??
your characters are also... very much a *chef's kiss* imo. they're so fleshed out and realistic that in spite of the worlds they live in (which come off as more fantasy-/sci-fi-based iirc), you could very well mistake them for real people/entities, and I absolutely adore that particular aspect of character development. I'm particularly a fan of Ophesia, because I'm a sucker for family dramas with a mix of old-fashioned politics and psychological themes ysdgcysfdvgsdf- the juxtaposition of sci-fi and more historical elements is honestly something I don't always see when it comes to futuristic universes, so it's always stood out to me since I first started reading through your characters in that folder. also, your character profiles low-key make me laugh because of the juxtaposition of lore and memes - two things that I love by themselves (and love even more when they're combined together); they really are a joy to read though, not only because of that but also due to the fleshed-out component that I mentioned earlier.
speaking of juxtaposing serious content with shitposts, your IC replies are... absolute gold. I love replying to your characters, and I love it when you reply to mine!! your writing style is quite admirable, and admittedly I'm guilty of going back to old IC replies and just... reading through them just so I can learn the craft. I can definitely see why you'd offer writing commissions tbh; the style is just so smooth to read and definitely one I can recognize. it has that... signature flair in a way, and I love that ngl?? I, as usual, can't articulate much beyond "you're someone I look up to when it comes to writing IC."
plus, I still very much appreciate that M. Pourife sketch you made for me not too long ago!! ik you don't generally post a lot of art here, but I honestly believe that you have a lot of potential in that particular field?? based on what I've seen in terms of art, it's an interesting mix of cartoon and realism, and I can see that becoming as neat and unique as your writing style in time.
I'm honestly surprised that I haven't subbed to you earlier, so... I'm gonna fix that... keep up the good work dude; I'm excited as to what you'll come up!! ^^

- ack that's really sweet ty?? it's honestly still a bit disorienting being so active on the forums as I spent most of my TH existence just keeping to myself, but overall my experience has been pretty positive haha- I'm a shy wreck, so the fact that I'm enjoying my time here is... wild. but not in a bad way. it's more of a pleasant surprise than anything, knowing myself. also, the "traits" thing is definitely a detail I didn't expect, and I really appreciate you bringing it up; you'd even be low-key correct on the reasoning based on the fact that my other lore used "quirks" for that type of character info, and... uhhh... that wasn't the most accurate descriptor in the world. I don't think I project myself too much into my characters or my writing actually, but nonetheless I'm glad you enjoy both of those. ^^
and dyfgvdysufv ty regarding the art and writing?? they're both kind of messes rn as I try to figure out where tf I wanna go (if anywhere), so the thought that they're still at least recognizable underneath all that experimentation nonsense is pretty nice lmao.
I always see you around forum games, and I'm always impressed by how well-thought-out your answers are! It seems like you're both genuinely interested in others' characters or even their muns, and I enjoy reading what you post on these threads! I'm going to echo your words about a fairly active user on this part of the forum as well; I feel like you're helping keep some of these games alive.
You put a lot of effort into everything you write, and that comes through in your characters as well. I love the traits sections especially; they really flesh everyone out, and I think calling them 'traits' adds some extra weight to what's in the section vs. a trivia (what i use) or notes section! I also love how grounded everything is, even with the backdrop of Pokemon as a setting; the more realistic take is very charming and interesting! I love the way you seem to channel your interests into your writing as well. All of said interests are also very interesting in themselves!
Your art is also pretty cool? I looked through your Insta for another game and found a lot of the motifs and palettes really memorable; like the writing, you've also found a solid connection between art and other things you like.
