Character Adoption Addicts Anonymous v.25- SECRET SANTA

[kittykore]

Hey guys I'm learning to draw human art. I started to actually learn two days ago. What do you think? I'm not too good but.


by me.

@Leafstorm- I'll answer some later!

[NARANDA]

Seeking Help Finding a Char!
So I have tried multiple times, but I am not willing to give up. I trying to locate who owns this character currently. I am willing to offer payment in CS and Eldemore pets/items, FR currency, Furvilla FC, or Lioden currency/items just in exchange for help to find him! If your lead is in any way positive to leading me to him I will give you something in return! I may even offer some of my sales characters just for help in locating his current owner!
Please PM me if you can help me or if you know who owns him or if you already have some sort of lead. If it helps, he has a lot of couple art with one of my chars! If you want to use that to try and look on google or wherever then feel free to PM me and I can link you to all that art!

Art/design by Hioshiru

I am also seeking to sell characters for USD/Points, it's my birthday month and I would like to save up for a gift for myself. I may also accept character trades or art in exchange for chars.
http://sta.sh/2174aaxajils?edit=1 Note me on DA at naranda1 if offering USD.
Edit* I will now consider C$ for the chars in the 'Easy' group, maybe... in the 'Medium' group.
Edit 04/22*I have added quite a few more characters to my sales folder, feel free to check them out!

ASK THAT CHARACTER
Question: @Simonpet for Sweet Lime: What was his first experience tasting a blood orange like? What did he feel the first time he tasted a blood orange (Ex. surprise, amazement, shock, etc)?
Character Site Link: http://toyhou.se/NARANDA (Don't ask about those in the unsorted group)
Answer: @Simonpet: She doesn't think about how to kill, but how they can die. (This include natural occurrences, accidents, murders, in battle, etc). She does this mainly because of when she got separated from her parents she started to imagine how they might have died (If they did) and how she might end up dying, it's been a habit ever since.

Yesterday was my B-day! Yay! Did I actually really get to do anything?! Not really! The minute I woke up I was working on my take-home exam sent to us by email, then the moment I finished that I was off to my second exam that day, yay... Got pizza and cake that night but I was too brain dead to do anything else. Oh well...
I got this amazing char as a gift from the amazing Dawn!!! -Snuggles- Art and design by the amazing Sadbloom!
I am debating if I am going to keep her name or not, but she is gonna be the new mate to my Tripp (By quardie)!


Next, I paid for this char this morning, a little gift to myself for my B-day XD
(I'm still waiting to get the unwatermarked version but I could not wait to show her off!)
Art and design by Sixbane, now to think of an amazing name for her! XP

[dolly]

@ NARANDA - I hope someone can give you a lead on them! I personally suck at hunting down characters so I wont be much help. Also happy late birthday haha.
@MimiBitz - That piece is honestly better than what I could ever do. I'm horrible at humans and humanoid like characters but i'm sure you'll be amazing before you know it.
@ >> Leafstorm515 - I'm truly sorry to hear you've been having a rough time and i'm so sorry about what happened to your grandmother. I'm glad we can some how make you feel better, though it means a lot to feel you are making someone else smile.





I have some cat adopts open. They are mostly offer to adopt but dA points are probably a deal.

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?
I just find it like something fun to do. It means the same and more from when I started.

has owning characters impacted your life? In what way?
It has, i've met so many close friends because of them cough cough aeryn cough cough

If you could have your perfect world, what would your character situation look like? would your life be the same without them?
I would probably own a few characters but each was one I could connect to greatly with designs and edits that fit my style and ideas well. Without them I feel i'd be a lot less happy as I wouldn't have the amazing friends I do now a days.

[Sixbane]

@DollyDo Ah cute kitties qvq/ i stink at drawing cats but the designs are super cute
@NARANDA Ah happy birthday qvq/ even if im late OTL
@conquest; The lines are super cute /v/ i dont think i got anyone who'd fit since i dont have a lotta cat charas, but theyre cute anyway
@Eleya Congrats on the kalon, i love his colors /v/ i stink at names though OTL

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?
Escapism. I deal with real world problems and a stressful life, being able to push it away for just a little to write stories and draw art of something else helps me cope. Its just a hobby for me, but all the time and thought I put into them make my characters mean a lot to me- more than they used to, even, since I've come to understand they help me be a better person too

Sorry I went pretty MIA for a bit there, still struggling with some stuff but I think im okay

but anyway I got new things I can show off

I got this chara, Kelleia, She actually has a rather funny story behind her. She was designed by a good friend of mine like 5-6 years ago for a contest of mine, They didn't end up winning at the time- but I always loved this design so when I saw it up for sale I had to ask about it.
In the end they gave her to me since it was designed for me in the first place (And i'd recently given them a character too)
EITHER WAY im happy to finally call her mine

A creature dwelling within the forests of the Seventh. She is a loner who spends her time wandering the dark of the woods. She seems to be rather ageless, as she's always been a rumor, a myth circulating amongst those who live nearby. The locals warn constantly not to upset the moth creature... She seems benign enough, and if left alone she'll never harm a fly. But when the warning flags go up, her eyespots seem to have the ability to curse and bring harm to others. Earning her a dangerous reputation. She only comes out at night and can often give people a nasty startle if they don't expect her there. Her emergence is typically only every few dozen years or so, solidifying to the humans she's only mere legend.

Respect nature, and it will respect you. Show kindness to things you don't understand, rather than fear, and she will never bring you any harm, nor curse you.

She is a nature spirit that seems to be searching for something in this world, but what exactly that is, isn't quite clear.

"The coloured picture doesn't show it, but there are wings coming from the brown mane on the back, which drape down over the legs and look like a brown, ragged cape. This concept can be seen in the sketch in the top right corner. When threatened or approached by some one with violent intentions, a large third eye on the forehead will open up, as well as the antenna, wings, and tail flaring up to reveal tons of eye spots."

I also traded for this guy, I quite like him and saw him posted and liked him then too lmao
I was excited to get a chance to offer/ own him

By zanziabar of deviantart
I did some doodling as well, to distract myself







All by me

[Simonpet]

I've opened a little breeding center, where you can request a breeding between any two genetically-realistic cats.

Pups five and six are UFA

This Demon Wolf is still UFA

I may/may not have introduced him already, but my newest Viscet is Ollie, a vet!

ASK THAT CHARACTER
Question: @NARANDA -- What does Mamori do when confronted by a lot of noise like that in a city?
Character Site Link: xXx
Answer: @NARANDA -- Sweet Lime was very surprised when he first had a blood orange. He didn't know what to expect, and so was surprised that while yes, it was slightly bitter (he thought it would be very bitter), there was a sweet aftertaste as well.

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?
When I first started collecting characters, it was because "everyone else did it." Over time, I began to insert them into my drawings and stories, and I now collect characters so that I can put them into my giant world.

Has owning characters impacted your life? In what way?
I don't really know; they give me ideas as to what to write or draw next, but not much beyond that.

If you could have your perfect world, what would your character situation look like? Would your life be the same without them?
In my perfect world, I would have far fewer characters, only the ones I will actually use and connect with, and develop them as much as possible. But my life probably wouldn't be the same without them because when I draw, it's my characters. When I write, it's about my characters. I can't imagine life without them.

@Simonpet Congrats on your Viscet!
@Windsong I absolutely love the 2nd char, good luck selling!

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?
I honestly got into collecting characters about five years ago when JellyBean Dragons were super popular, and at first I really just wanted one because everyone else seemed to have one and the community seemed really fun and friendly. Now my characters have been a way to connect with other people and a fun hobby for myself to distress with.

Has owning characters impacted your life? In what way?
Owning characters has helped me improve artistically so much, like holy cow.

If you could have your perfect world, what would your character situation look like? Would your life be the same without them?
Ideally I would have a group of characters that I loved to draw and never got tired of drawing. Hmm my life would probably be a tad different as I use my characters as an outlet artistically.

So I'd gotten myself a sushidog myo slot about a week ago and I finally came up with a design I love, this is Blueberry Pancakes!


and I made him a little icon


I also bought this gorgeous JBD who I need to come up with a name for, I would absolutely love some suggestions!

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?
I honestly don't know why I have. XD I think it's always been in pursuit of characters to spark new story ideas. XD

Has owning characters impacted your life? In what way?
Yeah, it has. XD Instead of doodling random things in class or at home, I now doodle my own characters. I also talk about my characters to my friends. XD

If you could have your perfect world, what would your character situation look like? Would your life be the same without them?
Gosh, I don't know what my character situation would look like. XD But my life definitely wouldn't be the same without them.

I got some new characters & art, but I'll start off with the art!
I got this super cute and absolutely perfect gift art of my new Mako, Mindy, by treeIights (aka Prince Virus), who also designed her:

I just love it so much! ♥ [links to full-size]

Also, my online best friend surprised me with some art and a little surprise inside! The art features my fursona Calyra and her fursona, Jewel:

by ChristainAnimalLover

They then linked the present so I could "open" it and inside was a new character:

Unfortunately, the artist is unknown, however, she got them from Kawartsii
If anyone happens to know the designer, please feel free to tell me. XD

Also got some more super cute characters from MrBoodle:
I bought Bumble for 200 points from them:

Art by MrBoodle

I also got this cutie from MrBoodle:

Art & design by MrBoodle
He came with 4 other pieces of art
His temp name is Socko and he's part of a "species" called M.U.B.s (Monster Under Bed), honestly I just came up with it. XD Anyway, he's a sweetheart who hides out under beds to collect socks for his sock collection to use as hats, accessories, and make sock animals.

I also got this super cute character for free from Mehingan:

art & design by CharChar2 (aka Lady--Bug on dA)
Her name is Sugar until I come up with a better name for her. XD

And last, but certainly not least, I got Oatey from Pastel-Cake:

art & design by Pastel-Cake
He came with one other piece of art as well. ♥

ASK THAT CHARACTER
Question: @Simonpet ~ What sort of animals does Ollie specialize in? Does he work with farm animals more is he more of a small/exotic animal vet?
Character Site Link: http://toyhou.se/Rabbitheart/characters
Answer @Simonpet ~ Abby loves her job a great deal and it'd probably be hard for her to pinpoint just one thing that she loves about her job. XD She loves her co-workers, helping them with her work. The thing she probably hates the most is when she's forced to work with an assistant she doesn't like or need or when she can't do her work.

[Hoffnungsstern]

Just wanted to show off a character I just got! Meet Krassy:

Why have you collected characters for as long as you have? Does it mean the same to you now as when you started?

I honestly don't know why, I just really love drawing them and creating stories around them and I plan to do comics with them!
My first characters were created for short roleplays in a chat, I don't really play roleplays anymore just once in a while so no the meaning of me collecting characters isn't really the same as when it startet.

has owning characters impacted your life? In what way?

It surely did! Without characters I probably would have stopped drawing a long long while ago or wouldn't be drawing as I do now.

If you could have your perfect world, what would your character situation look like?would your life be the same without them?

I would have lots and lots of characters I can't really immagine my life without them they play a huge part in my life!

Choose four characters. One represents Hufflepuff, one represents Griffyndor, one represents Slytherin, and one represents Ravenclaw. Who did you choose for each and why?

For Hufflepuff I choose Remus http://toyhou.se/742933.remus because he always tries to help people and wants to open up an orphanage!
For Griffyndor I choose Luca http://toyhou.se/257063.luca because he's practically a war hero, he's an angle and fought in a war in heaven. He was pretty successfull but he now lives on earth regretting what he did.
For Slytherin I choose Kia http://toyhou.se/257150.kia he's a demon and likes to play tricks on others. He's really sly and manages to make a fool of almost everyone.
For Ravenclaw I choose December http://toyhou.se/249845.december even though most people wouldn't believe it when they saw her, she is pretty smart and has very good grades!
