Can I draw your characters?
I would love that! I treasure every piece of fanart I have the pleasure of receiving.Can I alter your characters' appearance?
Minorly. Dress them up, change their expressions, stylize them to your liking, but please do not strip them of their defining features. Body types are not interchangeable. Your depiction does not need to be a one to one replica, merely one created in good faith.Can I create fanfiction about them?
Absolutely! Potentially helpful information about their personalities and backstories can be found on my Toyhouse (most character profiles are currently a work in progress). Feel free to ask any questions you may have directly.Can I make headcanons about them?
Yes! I always love to hear about how other people perceive my characters.Can I create NSFW of them?
No. Suggestive content is fine, but I ask that they remain clothed.
FAQ
Do you take requests, trades or commissions?
I do not take requests. Trades are done sparingly, usually only with mutuals. Commission slots are few and far between. To track their status, check my commissions website for availability.Do you intend to make more physical merch?
Yes! Life has been busy for me lately, keeping me from creating as much as I would like to. I'm hoping to put out something new within the next few months.What program do you draw with?
Opencanvas 7What tablet do you use?
XPPen Artist 15.6 ProHow long have you been drawing?
My entire life. I got my first drawing tablet in 2020, but was drawing traditionally for many years before then.What inspires you to draw?
A lot of my inspiration comes from music, animated movies and shows I watched growing up, as well as elements from various stories that have stuck with me over the years. I deeply admire the animation industry in specific, and the combined efforts of so many talented people to tell a moving, thought-provoking story.How did you get into writing?
Writing is another thing I've been doing nearly my entire life. I have always been an avid reader, and channeled my desire to mimic the emotions I felt reading my favorite books into amateurish works since perhaps 2015.How do you come up with your characters?
Every character I develop takes an incredibly long time to perfect. They are a highly personalized amalgamation of tropes, designs, traits, features, details and archetypes I find compelling. Each of them are created with a sliver of myself in mind. All of my original work is very important to me because of this.
Please call me Mushi! I'm a self-taught artist & writer with a passion for storytelling. I specialize in digital art and character illustration. I post mainly about my OCs, especially from my story Ace's Playhouse.I am currently in college, meaning that my online activity and overall capacity for creation has been a bit slow as of late. Please feel free to peruse my current art and writing in the meantime.
