i want to see your ocs!!!!! tell me their favourite things like food and music

okay so I have a LOTTTT of oc's im gonna focus on my most fleshed out ones bc thatll mean they get the most interesting answers! :3 okay? okay!

Laura (My main fursona, the dragon girl we all know and love): She is just me her music taste is wildly varied from oldies from the brass era of music to jazz to punk pop punk emo grunge heavy metal rap breakcore hyperpop and more! fave food is chicken cordon bleu just like me :) Fave Drink is EASY Dr. Pepper :3

Bailey (The OUPPY sona we all adore): again me but i definitely think that when im full puppy space i fucking go insane on hyperpop, breakcore, jungle, dnb, the loud music that tickles the brain good. Fave drink Cherry Coke/Cherry Pepsi :3 fave food is BURGERS

Tawni (my awesome diner owning cowgirl sona): Tawni is a tired woman who works hard she wants melodic calm tunes, she is the jazz girl, she is listening to long ambient tracks, she works her butt off she is a little sad little tired just let her vibe. Fave drink is huckleberry tea with wildflower honey and a shaving of orange peel :3 She loves mushrooms and her awesome hog wife Hollyhock (belongs to my wifey @vonkarn) finds em for her :3

Harper [Cheerio] (Da beawr sona): Cheerio loves to bake and I feel her music tastes are pretty laid back but she wouldnt hesitate to get silly with some fun punk tunes or silly music (like i bet she loves tom cardy/bdg esque stuff) fave food is pecan pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top (she deserves all the treats forever) and her fave drink is ice cold iced raspberry tea :3

Finch! (my jackalope): Finch is a dramatic ass tomboy femme punk bitch she wants to listen to those tunes that make you amped and ready to fight, she for sure shares like my heavy experimental tastes and listens to a lot of Hip Hop, Breakcore, experimental, noise, punk, riot grrl, etc she going wild. Fave food is fucked up but dude she loves a tasty fucking fried chicken drumstick man its simple but it goes hard. fave drink: chocolate milk (its cool and tough fucking fight mee)

Vincent: He is a cringe little gamer gremlin he trophy husband as hell stay home and games on his overpriced rig and setup, but also he is quite literally a phenomenal painter, artist, and writer. Vincent has a lot of feelings in his heart and he arts them out or he'll die. He is a lil poppunk/hyperpop/MCR boy like thats his JAM. fave drink is literally Monster Pipeline Punch

Jersey (this my brother/dad/found family he means a lot to me): Jersey is literally resident goodboy handyman he woodworks, gardens, fixes just about anything, he also loves bbq and thus has a smoke setup and does that for his calming pasttime he cooks a ton in general too and loves nature and foraging. he literally is the most reliable person on the planet and will always be there for u anytime u need. He is a foodie he loves capital F Food all of it he just goes in on food. his fave drink is coke and he literally has tons of old antique coke signs and boxes and shit all over he just thinks its neat he is just a dude.

I just got toyhouse account :D

[artfightdramaconfessions]

I have a character bookmarked that has now been archived. I saved a reference of the character before artfight started along with the ID because I knew that artfight would be down. I never got around to drawing them. When I was browsing recent characters I came across the EXACT character but it was posted by a different account. I clicked on the profiles of both accounts and the toyhouse linked to the most recent one actually has the character + lots of drawings (clearly a regularly used character) and the other one didn't. I think the earlier person may have stolen it? What should I do?

[godbirdart]

first off, i just want to say that i love your art, you are a huge inspiration to me and i love how expressive your characters are! would you have any tips for someone trying to grow a following from their art? specifically within the furry community ideally. im just not sure where to start

i hope youre having a great day!

thank you so much!!

okay i gotta preface this with: i have been doing commissions for over a decade. everything i say here i've been doing since roughly 2014, but my career as an artist didn't really Take Off and become reliable until 2019. success isn't immediate. some artists will grow faster or slower than others, not every tactic is going to apply / work for every artist; and that's okay. just keep pushing yourself and adapting and figuring out what works for You!

i’m putting this under a readmore as it got a bit long. every time someone asks me for advice on professional Anything i always write up a five page essay despite trying to bulletpoint it oof

post on multiple platforms and keep them all updated. i’m putting this one in bold because it is possibly the Most Important thing. we’re all watching twitter sinking over there, and many of my mutuals there were floundering because they hadn’t established themselves on any other social media site. i strongly recommend three or four socials minimum. my main four sites are tumblr, deviantart, twitter and toyhouse. furaffinity is also good. inkblot and artfol are new and i use them frequently as well. if you don’t like posting manually to every site each and every time you post art, Postybirb exists and is what i use to crosspost all my art to most of my socials at once.

avoid venting a lot on main. we all have frustrating days where our art isn’t getting the recognition we hoped, or we’re feeling petty about a controversial topic or the latest drama. it happens! it’s okay! however, many people just don’t like seeing dozens of negative posts on their feed. most people will sympathize, but if your negative vents are constantly clogging their dashboard they’re not gonna stick around.

shamelessly self promote yourself. reblog your own art. retweet it again. repost it. mention your other socials. we live in a world of timezones! when you post art, only a fraction of your audience is going to see it. i recommend reblogging / retweeting one to four individual pieces periodically over the course of a day and change it up each day. you can also repost your own work into photosets and title it “recent commissions” or the something like that.

don’t hide your linktrees and carrds. seriously! the amount of times on twitter i went to try and follow someone on another platform only to find they had no carrd or linktree link,, it is infuriating. put your socials link in your bio or pinned or SOMEWHERE readily at the top of your profile that’s easy to spot.

if you’re offering commissions, make a telegram channel or discord server for your announcements / openings.

post regularly. this one is a lot harder for artists that don’t make a lot of content, but posting even a status update once or twice a day can go a long way - especially if you’re on twitter with that platform’s hideous algorithm. alternatively as i said earlier, just retweet/reblog your work a few times a day and you should be good.

art trends are cool and fun and an easy way to get your work seen by others. see a “draw your sona in this outfit” meme? go, have fun with it. this one’s a bit tricky as timing is everything when it comes to ~trending~ content, so try and draw quick. that said, it’s never outdated to drawover reaction memes with your fursona.

try not to clog your socials with memes and shitposty images. this one is directed at twitter specifically. with twitter moments now gone, your media tab is the last way for people to hope to find your work organically on your profile without having to use the twitter search. they can’t get invested in your work if they can’t find it!

it’s okay to change course if you’re not vibing with where you’re headed. if you want to move onto a new aesthetic - that’s fine! you may lose some followers if they don’t click with your new vibe, but you’ll inevitably gain some new ones.

avoid frequent name changes. so many of the artists i follow have changed their brands / urls over the years that i don’t recognize them anymore.

tag your work properly. on tumblr, the first five tags on the original post are the tags your work will pop up in in the search feature. make those first five tags the Most important ones; example: #furry, #anthro, #art #fursona etc. twitter’s algo seems flip-flop if it likes tags or hates them. if you see a tag trending, repost your art in a photoset with the hashtag in the post [example: if #pokemon is trending, repost some of your pokemon fanart with the hashtag in the post body]. if the tag isn’t trending,,, i’ll be honest it’s a gamble if twitter likes your post or not at that point. i have no advice for that hell algorithm.

hosting raffles or doing a mini art request event [example: “leave a ref and i might draw your oc”] is good for traction while simultaneously giving back to the community + your audience a little!

try and reply to / like comments on your work. it’s not required per se, but it’s good to express gratitude.

engage with other members of the community. comment on other peoples work. like it. retweet it. follow other people. obviously don’t be disingenuous about it, but this is what the professionals call ~networking~

don’t compare yourself to others. this one is one you have got to keep in mind constantly. you’re going to find 17 year olds with huge followings and 30 year olds that are doing professional industry work whose level feels alien and almost out of reach. if you’re not doing as well, don’t let yourself get discouraged. we all gotta start somewhere!

related to the above point: be nice to your followers. venting on main about not having the same audience volume as others can come off as a huge middle finger to the audience you already have.

gaining a following takes time. unless you get a really lucky break, it’s going to take a lot of work and self promotion to build up your brand.

slap your name on everything. i mean it. any art you do - sign it. watermark it. people can and will share art in telegram channels and discord servers, and if the art interests someone they can easily source it back to you if your name is on it.

you can buy adspace. if you’re catering to a furry audience specifically, you can buy adspace on furaffinity pretty easily. inkblot i believe also offers adspace for artists though i haven’t looked too deep into it. this is really a “if you’re okay burning money” situation, as the huge chunkk of internet users have adblockers now and it’s a gamble if people will see or even click on your ad.

just have fun and do your own thing. you can hop on trends and draw art that caters to your audience’s tastes, but don’t forget to draw what YOU want and what YOU’RE about. Draw what makes YOU happy.

hope these help!! ;w;

PINNED POST - about me~

Made: Sept. 12, 2024

Updated: N/A

IMPORTANT LINKS

Twitter: k_stellastra

Reddit: stellastra

Toyhouse (for OC info): stellastra

Artfight: stellastra

Hi, hello! You can call me Stellastra. This is my freshly-made art blog, but I've been on tumblr since 2014 on my personal blog.

I'm currently queuing some of my art I've made since 2021 so I can slowly have a stream of content as well as eventually get this blog up to speed with my other social media.

To tell you a bit about me: I like to draw, play video games, take photos, work out, and collect historical fashion books.

I'm admittedly a fairly shy and private person, so my posts will almost strictly be related to art and/or my OCs. However, feel free to send me a message, whether it's about me, my art, my OCs, or if you just wanted to drop in and say hello. If you send me an ask about my OC, I might accompany the answer with a drawing!

All I ask is for some basic cordiality if I don't know you.

Some Ground Rules:

I make art based on mature games/genres. My content is intended for an adult audience. I do not interact with minors (people under 18 years old).

Since tumblr has the reblogging function, I politely ask that you do not repost my art. The only exception is if I drew something for you (like your OC). In that case, if you want to use my art as an icon, header, or part of a set of that OC's references (like on Toyhouse or somesuch), that's fine, so long as I am credited.

I can't believe I have to say this, but just be a decent human being. It's not that hard. I will not engage in petty discourse openly nor in DMs.

I am not doing commissions. I am not offering them nor do I intend on doing so in the foreseeable future.

My favorite video games are:

The Elder Scrolls series (particularly Morrowind)

Guild Wars (both GW1 and GW2. GW1 is my childhood jam~)

Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (a D&D-like fantasy setting paired with the 19th century aesthetic? *chef's kiss*)

Halo series (Bungie-era, haven't played any 343 entry since 4)

Tomb Raider series (the Legend games are my childhood classics)

More random fun facts about me I'm willing to share (if you wanted to know for some reason):

I'm half-Filipina (Igorot, specifically Kalinga) and half-white (apparently of mostly British ancestry, according to a 23andMe test my dad did).

I was born and raised in the the southeast USA.

Unfortunately, I can only speak English (+ some rusty high school-level French). I want to learn Tagalog or Ilocano (my mom's native language) someday.

I have pet cats.

I can safely say that I really started drawing when I was around 10 years old, when I was doodling in the margins of my schoolwork in the fourth grade.

I love watching 'so bad, it's good' movies like The Room, Troll 2, Samurai Cop, Neil Breen movies, etc.

I have an unhealthy collection of historical fashion books. Most of my collection is 19th century European stuff, but I'm always looking for books of an earlier time or even non-European cultures.

If you're looking for any specific resource regarding historical clothing, feel free to shoot me a message and I can point you to some resources for reference material. Should you need something specific, I'm willing take a look in my collection for you. I JUST LOVE TALKING ABOUT HISTORICAL CLOTHING!!!

Well, with that out of the way, it's a pleasure to meet y'all~

[rat-lurker]

Rain world ocs!!

Haven't poste in a while, but I return with many rain world rats and other creatures. Below will be spoilers ranging from mild base game spoilers to downpour's late game spoilers!!

Still here? Alright, ill start from who was created first, and end with those created later.

First one after Companion (now the previous yellow slugcat's name), the Venom eater! or Venom for short. Venom was Shallow River's last creation before she got infected with the rot. However, as she got infected while making Venom, it did somewhat pass onto them. Venom is able to keep the rot at bay by keeping their poison constantly fresh, which they do by eating spiders. If they go too many cycles without eating a spider, the poison patches on their back dry up, and their cycle count beings to drop. Once it hits the negatives, eating a spider will not save Venom, and they'll turn into a long legs upon dying. They're follow by an overseer who makes sure they can find spiders. Venom is unable to ascend. They suffer a similar fate to hunter when ascending, however, instead of returning to NSH, Venom just wakes up in their last shelter. Venom was created to seek out Companion and Collector after Companion went missing, tho SR is dead by the time they find Companion.

Next is the Collector. One of Shallow River's earlier creations, made to seek out pearls. Lot less about them as Collector ends up forgetting about their creator and just brings the pearls they find to a different iterator.

Next is the Cycle Skipper! A normal yeek created by Shallow River, transformed by the void sea. Whenever it jumps, it is teleported to a different cycle. It doesn't really have a goal, as it is an echo, it is stuck to wander the world for as long as it exists.

Next, the Imposter, or Glowbie. Another one of Shallow River's creations, her experimenting with hybrids. It has no real purpose, they just live with lampsters and prey upon anything living in the darkness. They end up becoming friends with Venom for a cycle, as both hadn't interacted with a slugcat before. However, as Venom isn't sure how to explain their illness to their new friend, nor do they want them to grieve, Venom leaves before Glowbie wakes up, leaving them behind. Glowbie's endings do give an option to follow after Venom, but they'll be a long legs by the time Glowbie finds them.

And lastly, Shallow River herself! An iterator who has stopped working on the great problem, and just works on enjoying her time. She loves creatures, mainly showing an interest in slugcats and lizards. And thats about it for now! Theres a few more rain world ocs ill be working on in the near future (noodle lizards and 2 slugcat x garbage worm hybrids), but ill be busy for a bit so theyll have to wait. Below is a link to all the previous characters' toyhouses, each have a bit of extra info. Venom Collector Cycle Skipper Imposter Shallow River

[cryptidclaw]

Forgot to post this earlier but! I finished Meowymanstar's Toyhouse page! Took me a while to write and figure out the code but Im proud of it! It has working links like the Warriors Wiki and everything!!

This was really fun to make hehehe

I wrote him a whole story summary... it ended up quite long lol

[spaghetticat3899]

The Sona Selection

This post is just gonna be me rambling about my sonas and shite, if you’re interested, look under the cut. Some in the image above are no longer used, I just am too lazy to make a new drawing of them all. Toyhouse pages are linked of you’re also curious enough to look at those for some reason, lol.

Skullcandy (she/her)

The edgelord herself. As can be obviously deduced (probably), I made her when I was 12-ish, and for whatever reason I’ve never been able to get unattached to her, no matter how many times I’ve tried to replace her. I guess she’s here to stay, lol.

She’s an “irradiated raptor”, which is some sort of radioactive creature that might’ve been a ferret at one point. Her head was based off a ball python’s, just because I find their faces cute. The rest was made up on the fly. In earlier designs, she used to have tiny crystal wings for some reason, but they’re no longer in use. She’s incapable of dying via physical injury, a blessing or curse depending on who you ask (mostly just an excuse for gore art).

Loid Bimac (he/they)

This little octo dude I can’t stop drawing. Sleep-deprived, always moving, might be a little feral. I made him sometime in 2022, originally starting out as a xeno design I scribbled down once in class. Eventually I redrew it and started using him regularly. Before his creation, I used Hachikō in place of myself a lot. He’s a California two-spot octopus, having little eyespots on his shoulders he’s kinda insecure about. His earlier design had more suction cups on his hair which I got rid of for ease and simplicity, which is why some older art of him has five suckers on his front tentacles instead of three. The finger color gradient is completely optional and I add it whenever I feel like it, it’s never consistent. His beak is weird because my teeth are kinda like that (albeit, a lot less noticeably.

Kid (any/it)

This weird goat chimera that took way too long to finalize a design for. They’re a bizarre thing, usually around a little jackalope by the name of Kit (a friend’s sona I designed for them). Their scales and horns are iridescent, based off an emerald jewel wasp. Their arms can become bat-like wings for absolutely no reason other than I said so. The innermost toe can twist back and forth and behave like a foot-thumb, the two other toes forming a hoof. The maw is based off thylacoleo, just because the teeth are funky. The tail has a stinger hidden in the fluff just because. Honestly a lot of their design is “just because”.

Saturn (she/they/he)

I wish I had a higher quality image of them because this is from an Aggie/magma canvas so it’s very fuzzy. Just a little hyena sona vaguely based off the planet, Saturn. Nothing much to them.

Dani (she/her)

A sona I made sophomore year of high school I use every once in awhile. She’s an opossum, not a rat. Not much behind her either, she’s just here, lol.

—————————————————————————

Alright, that’s all, here’s a picture of Sunny my sister took awhile ago.

[constellarcreator]

Just realized that toyhouse post I made earlier just didn't????? Post the link?????????? Okay

[realjem]

Tell us about your blorbos!

oh god oh fuck! well first if you wanna see em, i have a lot of art of them over on @realjem-art and ive been (very slowly) setting up a toyhouse for them (i think ive only added maybe ~half my characters there so far whoopsies)

im gonna put the rest of this under a readmore cause i have no idea how long i'm gonna make this

so i have like... a lot of characters now. i've been building up a bunch of characters and a sliiight story (for some of them at least) since about early 2021, where i made my first actual characters: Ann, Trixie, Scarlett, and Cinnamon

yes i know i've got very generic names for my characters, i don't have the brains for cool names like some people do dgshgdgas

i think my character count is at 56 of them, not including any versions of my sona, because i don't consider that a character, but more of a vessel on what i feel or would want to look like in real life (or just a silly design sometimes)

It sort of shifts around from time to time which characters sort of lodge in my brain the most at a time, for example, at the very beginning, i was definitely showing favoritism towards trixie, and then after i redesigned scarlett a bit, she's been my favorite for a while. there's random bursts where a few of them front for a while, but it typically defaults to scarlett and lumie

lately, i've been drawing a lot of the group i call Halloween Bargain Bin, because they're silly and i really want to flesh them out and their group dynamic a lot more. i've recently plopped a new character into their group (by recently i mean just a few days ago (as of posting this) actually!

as the case is for most of the guys in hbb, a lot of my earlier characters (basically a lot of them made bewteen 2021-2022) were based off of/referenced songs i like. but, because i do want them to feel like more of my own creation, i have been starting to drift a lot of them from their source inspiration, with a few pretty much entirely being divorced from their original inspiration (such as Ann, who was originally a character for Amnesia Was Her Name, which i then couldn't write a story for her well, and now she's just the owner of a lab chock full of creatures, which i just like a lot more)

my characters kinda sort into groups, some small and some way larger, and im just gonna list off all the ones i can think of right now: Ann's Lab, Halloween Bargain Bin, the group of four people that i still don't have a name for (Lilac, Kasey, Fia, Tay), the poly catgirls (Ari, Stella, Savannah), and all the creatures currently within Ann's lab, which is a long list and im not naming them all here (ex: zed, goliath, etc)

because a good chunk of my time is being taken up by school, a lot of my drawings of them right now just look like this:

(^ lumie) since i can access a digital whiteboard on my school computer, where i just draw on that throughout the week, send the link to myself, and then screenshot everything over the weekend

but i do still save time occasionally for actual drawings, such as this one that i still really like

(^ ezekiel, one of my newest characters!) Lately, a lot of the actual drawings have been in this painterly style (procreate, gouache brush)

a lot of character development lately is just me drawing shitposts, small comics that are mostly just jokes but help me try and flesh out their personality a bit

(^ scarlett & lumie, stan and mason) Just quick doodles of stuff i thought was funny and wanted to make real

I do suppose this ask was about my actually talking about my characters, as, well, characters, but i am still bad at that. i will attempt? to talk about a few now?

^ Lumie!! she was made around the start of july 2021 (my first artfight run!) she's my main non-human character pretty much, since her actual story has her in the same role as the humans in AL, as opposed to the monsters. Character design-wise, the most important details are that: she has no eyes, it's just smooth skin where eyes would be on a human, she's larger than an average human (Scarlett is 6'1" where Lumie is 7'4", not much much taller but still), and she glows. she's fuckin bio luminescent! light blue glowing "freckles" break out across her whole body, and her dark hair has the same light blue glow from the bottom up! it's sort of emotionally controlled, so if she were real upset, she'd barely be glowing, and if she were real happy, she'd be bight as hell. As for story, hers is intertwined with Scarlett. essentially they met when they were 9, were best friends, scarlett had to move and you cant just take your bestie/other-dimensional girl you found in a cave along with you if you havent even told anyone about her, and then scarlett finally drove all the way back to hopefully meet her again. now they are girlfriends and work in AL, where scarlett works on "conspiracies" in the meantime

Trixie is another AL member, being the first to find the lab and start working for Ann. Trixie was supposed to just be a janitor or something, but being 17 and stupid, wandered into places where she wasn't supposed to go, and basically got mauled to death by one of the monsters. Ann finds her body a couple hours later and freaks out, but thankfully, being in a lab full of monsters and machines, there is some sort of experimental revival doohicky or whatever, and Trixie is brought back. Her body isn't all physically there sometimes, and it's changed in small, unnatural ways, but besides that she's mostly fine. Not including the fact that she's practically a zombie and she's stuck as a 17 year old. She can't really go anywhere else now, and she claims her life sucked ass before the lab, so she just stays and researches the monsters with Ann now.

These three (Scarlett, Lumie, Trixie) are the ones with the most semblance of a story so far, so it's easier to talk about them, lol

OKay, this is getting really, really long, and its probably already a pain to read (if anyone did read through all of this, which in that case thank you?) so im gonna leave this for now, but you are always welcome to ask about specific characters, or my favorite, you can ask me to talk about my characters in the sense of how they've changed over the past couple of years (in art, story, design, etc)

[bearygentle]

i was trying to figure it out on my own but i have no idea, what is mvh?

HI I MEANT TO REPLY WAY EARLIER BUT EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION HAS BEEN KICKING MY ASS LATELY

MvH is my comic, short for Mind vs. Heart!! It's being scripted right now, idk when it's gonna start getting released but hopefully sometime in the first half of next year!! It's basically just some teens in 1970s northern michigan dealing with paranormal bullshit & the consequences of choices made by themselves and their peers, half the cast are ghosts/monsters right out of the gate so it's gonna be fun

It's the first part of Here's to Hoping, which will be a 2 part series when it's finished

I have/had a bunch of posts tagged in my queue as 'mvh vibes' instead of all of Here's to Hoping because one of the main reasons of having 2 comics vs 1 [besides pov shift + legnth] is the COMPLETELY different central emotions driving the plot: MvH puts almost every character through hell & tries super hard to nail the 'bleak rural northern town' energy, while part 2 is about picking up the pieces & living with that damage

Also lighthouses are a common thread of symbolism in both, but with very different perspectives because 1] they're everywhere here 2] they're depressing as fuck, beautiful, and one of my favorite places, they're such a big part of the local identity here but they're all automated/decomissioned/tourism only now and. It's certainly A Complicated Emotion

Part of my delayed response is bc I didn't wanna link to my super outdated toyhouse, but I got rid of all the dated stuff so here's the folder for MvH specifically, and here's the general folder for Here's to Hoping that has more basic worldbuilding info also I'm just really happy with Death's new design it's super barebones atm so don't think too much abt all the artless profiles

Re: My last submission

**First and foremost, this is NOT an invitation to harass or witch hunt this person, as I do not condone or support such things.  This is a general PSA so that people can either avoid this person, or tread cautiously if they choose to do business with her.**

Okay so, as previously mentioned, I happened to stumble across someone's account on FurVilla through a Google search.  This user and I have a bit of history, between my own experiences with her and aiding some of my friends in their own experiences with her.

She hasn't logged into Furvilla in over a year, and I highly doubt she's coming back because most of the userbase is too young and broke to afford her, but I know there are a few people out there who can so I just want to throw this out there so that people can take caution.

Those of you who are in the Discord or follow my blog here on Tumblr will know all about this, as it's been… a couple of months or more of an endeavor with stuff building up over time.

I'm going to try and keep this brief as best I can, so here's a general summary / TL;DR version of why you need to avoid commissioning this artist.  This will be followed by links to much, much longer posts about her, complete with screenshots and other evidence.

Scammer with a history from 2013 - present, maybe even earlier

Continually whines in the Folklore discord server about having no money, but secretly orders commissions and closed species designs/MYO slots at the same time because she thinks no one knows

Publicly complains about her customers through vague rants, or flat out complains about her customers to other people in the discord server via DMs

Seldom shows WIPs and then reacts badly to customers asking for changes/fixes on her artwork

Received a loan of $3000 USD from someone IRL and refuses to pay it back, twisting the situation to make it sound like the money was a gift

Almost scammed me out of $130 USD

Successfully scammed my friend out of $300+ USD, and others as well, by pushing their commissions aside until they were past the Buyer Protection Period on PayPal

Didn't work on owed artwork / paid commissions in any sort of timely manner

Continually lies and falsifies information

Creates guilt trip journals and deletes them immediately if someone comments anything negative

Whines and complains about being "rushed" by her customers when asked for a progress update after 3+ months of silence

For a more comprehensive, albeit long read, about her please see either this dA journal or TH thread for everything I've compiled.  The information in the screencaps was mostly obtained by myself, but some things were given to me by others to help out.

She also has various other callouts against her, both on Artists Beware (under her older usernames) and some journals from the person she owes the $3000 to, as seen below.

It looks like, at one point, she tried to open a commission shop on Furvilla, but it didn't get very far:  http://www.furvilla.com/forums/thread/96027-drawinglys-chibis-open

This is actually how I found her FV account; I plugged her username into a Google search and this link came up.  The art style is unmistakable.

Hey Guys,

So I messaged the Mod and was given the OK to submit this anonymously since I use my tumblr to hoard resources and it’s pretty weeby and embarassing. But, I am Bakusatsu/Bakuqou aka Bee.

Yes, I was a massive idiot in the past. I come from a country and a family where you speak exactly what you think, I also have Aspergers and due to it I suck at social awareness and cues. Pair these with internet tone being nonexistent and well, I don’t think I need to explain it.

I will say I am sorry for my behaviour in the past. After being mocked and criticised on Drama Blogs I took a pretty hefty self-reflection and tried to steer from the forums for a while. I addressed Hideto because while I do think they are some good points I wondered if they themselves had ever actually been informed of how tone and such comes across. It helped me earlier this year, I was trying to see if it’d help them. 

I don’t frequent this blog, and hadn’t looked at it since Albinistic was a topic, but I do have friends that do and they often link to posts on ToyHouse that they say are talked about here which is where I’d assert my own stupid opinions. 

I’m still growing, and learning, I got some great support and am getting into a healthier environment slowly. I am sorry for my mistakes, and if you do have any issues you’re free to PM me and I’ll be happy to clear things up personally. Otherwise, I’m not sure what more I can do. 

Thanks

Ella Mint

Welcome to the Ella Mint bio post! This is where I'm going to put a little introduction to Ella and say a few things about her. This will also be linked in the OC List page by clicking on her picture on the list. Without further ado, let's get started!

Ella Mint is actually my first ever OC! She dates back to about 2010. Originally, she was a Sonic the Hedgehog OC, specifically a recolor of Sonic named "Element". Back then, she was a guy. I stopped doing Sonic roleplays in roughly 2013-2014, and then I soft revived the character around 2017-2018, by using her as the character I make in create-a-character sections in video games. Ever since then, she has been known as Ella Mint (fun pun for Element).

Currently, Ella is a dog girl! Trans girl, she/her pronouns. Specifically, she's a demon dog, or a hellhound. She has black floppy dog ears. Her hair (and tail) is black with blue highlights. The length of her hair goes to about her shoulders, slightly shorter. Her eyes are blue. She is roughly 5'7 with a decently toned body, most notably her abs. She has a big bushy dog tail! Also her chest is fairly large. ...Just imagine Tifa's body to be honest.

As for previous iterations, she was previously a hedgehog as stated earlier. After that, she just became a human, or whatever species I thought would fit in the games I created her in. Eventually, she became half human half demon! And now she's half human half hellhound. She's also been a pony when I had a My Little Pony phase in 2012, but that didn't last too long.

Moving on to powers and abilities! She can control the elements of Water and Fire pretty decently. She's also fairly fast and fairly strong. Although she can control water, she can't control ice. She can control the temperature of water and turn it into ice, but once it's ice she no longer has control over it.

Currently, Ella is an only child. Her parents are no longer alive as well. She has one cousin, named Elm, who is a full human. In previous iterations, Elm was an adopted brother and she had an older brother (blood, not adopted) named Len. Len has been changed to be the child of other parents, so that is no longer canon.

Ella has ADHD. She has a hard time focusing on things she isn't interested in, and is often hyperactive. Part of the hyperactivity is due to her being a dog and being excited, but another part is when she is excited about something, she gets really invested. Often times her ADHD gets in the way if she were to be in a fight, since she has a hard time focusing into her powers. Outside of that, she also is lactose intolerant, which sucks due to her favorite food (see next paragraph). Sometimes due to her overthinking and inability to focus properly, she sometimes gets affected with depression and/or anxiety. She often brushes it off, though, and says "no way I'm fine!" when in reality she isn't.

Continuing on to Ella's favorite things. Her favorite food is peanut butter ice cream. She also loves watching movies! But her favorite activity is going on walks and talking/hanging out with friends. Her favorite color is purple. And her favorite genre of music generally is pop music.

And... that's about it for Ella. She's probably my "main" OC, and has had the most changes and development throughout all my OCs lifespans. I also have many arts commissioned of her, which I might share my Toyhouse account at a later date. Thanks for reading!
