I don't know why the typing keeps bugging out up here. I wanna do art.

Let's GO!

Secret Santa: If you're here from one of the 2 Secret Santa groups I'm participating in, because we don't get to know who gets us I just wanna say that my goal with a secret santa is to do the best work I can, it'll likely be min 2 character art with full BG and painterly shading. Hopefully whoever gets unlucky in getting me can do something similar.

Art Trades: There is a lot of variation here. Essentially my goal with trades is a fair trade and getting back something of similar value, such as a fully finished picture with comparable amounts of characters or chibi for chibi or flats for flats and so on. I am trash at non humans, I can do decently I guess but I'm never really happy with how creatures come out as such getting art of non-humanoids is appealing (they wont be listed here, but if that's what you want to offer note me what you want and ask about anthros I'd want art of). I'm also a sucker for adoptable outfits and may do a trade for some, depends on the offer. I reserve the right to decline or limit my trades, time is limited but I don't expect a strong response.

I'm gonna try and make these look all professional and shiz, but these are just personal 1 on 1 rps and stuff. But hey I can at least make them look like something legit and not just nerdy nonsense right?? Shhh. Don't judge me. ALSO, the first 2 couples are my #1 choices and they are descending in desirability. But please pick on what will make you happy and what you are most comfortable drawing. I love absolutely every couple listed below. I just love the shit outta them. Some of these ships are over 5 years old (I think the first one is over 10?) so please pick based on your preferences.

Fantasy/Slice of Life/ Romance

Slice of life in a fantasy setting, this story follows a group of characters who travel between worlds learning about themselves and searching for a feeling of home while learning about themselves and how their unique struggles have formed who they are and how to be okay with who they are. What I would like:

These characters travel to all sorts of worlds, so if you want you can have free reign with them for setting. If you want some suggestions, their first kiss was on a quirky world that rains cotton candy clouds and they kissed while it was raining under a tarp cover at sunset. That is a picture I would ADORE to own. Otherwise anything with them just being cute and kissing or whatever would also be loved. A fun note is that she loves to kiss and touch his sensitive ears. Also Melena's species can absorb and transfer mana through their stones, doing this with the forehead stone to someone's forehead can share thoughts/feelings as well. When they share mana her gem/gems will swirl with his forest green mana before dissipating back to her own color. So that's also an idea! Their canon home is a inter-dimensional manor that has like and older stylized vibe.

Melena Sombelin:

She is a feisty and passionate person. She has a habit of giving into her own desires and being pulled by whims. She thinks of Nagi as her twin flame and treasures him and the other members of her found family more than her own life. https://toyhou.se/13127009.melena-sombelin

Nagi Wildwen:

He's a soft awkward boy with choppy hair and insecurities about his appearace and himself. Overall very very loveable. See more about him here : https://toyhou.se/13125220.nagi-wildwen Character belongs to sassy mcglutes on toyhouse.

Frost Wildwen:

Goofy and very dog like, Frost is one of Nagi's dragon companions. He is very good at reading emotions and not so good at reading the room or respecting personal space. His main form is pretty small (see Nagi's ref sheet), his second form is about the size of a large dog. Eventually, and likely on a very cold mountain, he will have a larger dragon form... and eventually a humanoid form when the fancy strikes him. He eventually pairs with a magic hair shape shifting bunny and has a litter of bunpuppies, I won't be listing them because Sassy uses them independantly, but if drawing them interests you drop me a note, I'd be down to do trades to get him something really nice of his kiddos.

Lumin Wildwen:

A quirky character, probably the more mature of Nagi's Dragon compainions Lumin still is not great at proper interactions.. but they're learning I think? Lumin can change gender with forms as an effect of physically being a plant. Curently Lumin is favoring a humanoid female form, either nude or with draped fabric as clothes (see original adoptable in image).

Modern/Slice of Life/ Romance

The cute love story between a sweet sheltered girl and a lonely jock boy. Finding each other at a school far from the places either one called home they fall fast and hard, afterward learning to navigate the differences in their personalities. With a love as sweet as the pastries they make together.

What I would like:

These kids are absolute dolls. I love their sweet little faces. Now it's the holly jolly season and I am a SUCKER for themed pictures. For them if you wanted to use mistletoe it could either be hung above them or held by Naoki (who was likely expecting his joke to be rejected), Either way he's too shy so while embarrassed I am certain she would kiss first (probably cheek but hey up to you). Also baking. I am okay with both the idea of baking with him teaching her how to make Japanese sweets or with them making Christmas cookies together. Both of them are comfortable in a kitchen, however Naoki is messier than Elaine so he'd be covered in flour. Otherwise if you have a cute date pic idea or some other holiday thing. They're supposed to be high school juniors at the moment.

Elaine Ridgemont:

She is a sweet but naive and sheltered girl, raised in an outdated house of her wealthy family's matriarch (who just passed away in the last few months at 98). From a combination of her illness in youth and her great grandmother being more than a little over protective and set in her ways, Elaine has had very little contact with the world outside of her grandmother's manor where she was taught by private tutors. While this gives her a bit of an out of place almost out of time vibe, she is confident in herself and kind to those she meets. More information is avalible on her toyhouse and there is a longer google doc linked that I am slowly filling in with more information on her. https://toyhou.se/13387083.elaine-ridgemont Please be aware that most of her old references are no longer canon for her (Originally she was a 20+ flower shop owner in a harvestmoon style town, all the interactions are with people she no longer knows and uploaded apps are not canon, she is currently a 16 year old at a dormitory private school and Naoki is her first friend/relationship. I included the art for additional refs. thank you for understanding, refer to toyhouse for current information)

Naoki Sasaki:

He is louder and BIG in his expressions than Elaine is, but he's also less genuinely confident. He's an exchange student from Japan who's parents are hoping that the change will help him find his way in school and life. He's got the vibe of an awkward friendly jock and he secretly loves baking. He belongs to MilkysWay and you can learn more about him on his toyhouse https://toyhou.se/9723364.sasaki-naoki (He also had the misfortume of being from another group so most of his art is old, tho probably still canon for his past stuff, I'd just refer to toyhouse)

Fantasy/Slice of Life/ Romance

People can be complex.. and so can those who are not human. Within a fantasy world two vastly different yet comparably broken hearts learn together how to heal from their painful pasts and learn to make a new family together. All while trying to navigate living in a world that is less than welcoming to their kinds. This story will delve into uncomfortable mental trauma and occasional blood/gore.

What I would like:

SO, these guys are mid process for getting revamped, hopefully into a comic I need to start story boarding. But because for now all refs are pending I will put up a collection of stuff from on here as refs. If you wanna draw them and play around with making Waldor more of a terrifying monster owl man I would totally dig that. If you wanna draw them being a cute couple or family I also dig that. While I like art of Belina, art of JUST her is pretty 'meh' for me at this point, like, I think out of all my characters and ships she has the most art (Also if you draw her please remember her boobs and bum, She is more of a long curvy, but she is legit curvy af). They're here because I love them and there is an ungodly amount of RPs for them posted between everything here and everything on Nix's account if you need ideas, but in basic he's a mean grumpy owl who gets smitten by her honestly kind nature and she's a loving faerie who is taken by his stable support even when her trauma and worries get the better of her emotions (tears/anxiety). they also bond by reclaiming parts of their lost childhoods by being silly like children together on occasion. (tldr, they're cute draw that I guess)

Belina of the Light Faeries:

She has lived through a lot in her short life. Taken from her human mother's home as a teen, she was forced into a loveless and abusive marriage much too young. She escaped after a few years with the passing of her first husband. After that she met a dark fae whom she fell in love with and started a family together. For a short while she was happy... unbeknownst to her, her faerie mother (whom she had never met) also had a son who had made it his mission to bring the princess back to the faerie realm. Upon finding her with a dark fae, he murdered her first love and only spared her children as a condition for her compliance. She meets Waldor while being used as a bargaining 'prize' by her brother towards the king who has Waldor imprisioned.

Waldor VonBartok

Born with the power of future sight, as a child he was taken as a trophy when his clan was slaughtered. He's been kept in captivity most of his life. He hates humans and is overall not really happy or pleasant. It takes a bit for Belina to get close to him. This Character belongs to ScelestaNix and his profile here shows more about his past: Here

Kids: Jonathan: half demon child with chimera syndrome that was adopted by Belina and her first love.

Melanie: Takes after her dark fae father and is generally a little helion.

Reynalt: Takes after Belina, very shy and quiet.

Aberele: The only biological child of both Belina and Waldor. She is an angry little glowing Strix girl with strong light magic, honestly she's terrifying in concept for the people of the world.

Here's from my previous trade journal for them if it helps-- maybe it makes it more messy -shrug-

Belina VonBartok (5'9") & Waldor VonBartok (6'2") (Waldor is owned by ScelestaNix )

A long time couple, they are happily raising 4 children together (5 in other storylines, but 3 are from her previous marriage). On the surface they're a good case for opposites attract. She is an immensely kind, patient and giving motherly character. She tries to help others and uses nature and healing magic. He is a grumpy old owl man who is very cynical at best and MEAN at worst with most beings and is only really kind and gentle with his family. However they are both very deeply connected to family and when they are alone together they can be silly and a bit childish. Very affectionate with each other. the feather necklace on her and the cradle of life pendant on his collar are essentially their "wedding bands" and very important. You can Play with their outfits if you want but keep those please.

Fantasy/Slice of Life/ Romance

The story of a princess with a great 'curse' given to a dragon in return for not causing more property damage to the kingdom. The pair are very different but it almost seems like her lawful good ways are rubbing off on him? And is she really cursed? An odd ball pair of companions with growing fondness. What I would like:

Them either chilling drinking tea or chatting or just being cute. He's a big dumb. Technically she has a touch curse, but she does solve it eventually so if you want hugs or something follow your heart! She's a teeny bean and is definitely the one in charge. (heights for reference HERE )

Ophira Midel (Previously Ophira Midas): She's a very dignified princess. A solidly lawful good sort of character who's weapon of choice is her words. She would make a kind and loved ruler if fate had given her that lot. She developed what was seen as a curse, Everything she touches turns to gold including living things. She was later traded off to a dragon in exchange for not destroying the kingdom. But she finds the dragon to not be quite so scary and is rather smitten by his silly ways as they continue living together.

Claw Dragonson:

He may look like a big dragon, but he's a big goof ball who just wants friends deep down. But his social skills are.. uh questionable at best and he slides more into chaotic neutral than anything else. he's just a big loveable goof.
