Where do you want our CR to go?

This is not actually a CR thing I'm just using it as an excuse >_>; But at some point when I've finished off the art trades I'm working on now, I'd be interested in doing an art trade with you! (If you're open to them, ofc!)

Holy smokes sure thing :'D I'm opened to doing an art trade with you :') Would you like a link to my FA or Toyhouse account?

I think I have you followed on FA, actually! I'm Svirdilu on there

And you do :'D Here we go, followed you right back on there :'> jokingly, I blame Catrina for the site going down since she was the last one I uploaded XD

I can't believe she's done this 😔

She is a horrible gremlin that is for sure

Upside after checking (A Dolly needs to pay better attention), FA may reopen fully sometime tomorrow as it's at 95% right now I'm also very open to brainstorming art trade ideas :'>

Are there any of your characters you'd be interested in me drawing?

If you'd like, would you like to do Dolly? I have her true form ref on the Musebox for now to avoid spoilers for the Changes Comic. What characters would you like for me to draw in return and is there any specific style you'd like (I can do colored, black and white, and the pastel brown ink)? :'D

here we go, Dolly's ref: Link Sorry that took a bit, was talking with my roommate

I can definitely do that :> Do you have a preference for medium on my end? I do pencil sketches most often but I've also got watercolor!
And anything you'd like her to be doing/any expression you'd like her to have? Or just whatever I come up with?

AND HONESTLY... I was going to ask you to do Shinx Loop (basically just a Shinx but give their big wizard hat and one faded eye), but upright and with the same kind of stylization as you did those Stuffuls or your doll characters! I think they're super cute

Have fun with making up new details, like you did the butterfly wing ears for the Stuffuls! Loop has (unsurprisingly) a star theme so anything you want to do with that, feel free
(and no medium preference, whatever you feel like using!)

I can absolutely do Shinx Loop in that style :'D That would be insanely adorable to do, I have brown ink I can use as that'll give a nice softness for the star theme. Would you like me to incorporate Siffrin's outfit into this one?

As for Dolly, I'm open for surprises Especially for facial expressions (I'm still trying to gather recent Dolly pics I have in her true form for icons XD All her Ahuizotl disguises have the expressions at the moment)

Sure! As much or as little of it as you'd like, feel free to pick and choose details :>

And sounds good! I have a stamp carving art trade I have to finish first, but then I'll start on Dolly!

Nice, I'll be working on sketching/inking Loop today while I dog sit the overlords :'D Also stamp carving sounds insanely fun

I enjoy it a lot! It's challenging to work in full on binary black and white, compared to sketching, but very satisfying to carve

Oh man that's really nice, I like carving too, there's something just insanely satisfying about the process (I always looked forward to the print projects my art class did as a kid). Nowadays, the closest I got to carving had been the wood projects I did X3

I just finished inking a pair of Loops if you'd like a sneak peak of them in a private Plurk?

Sure, absolutely! I will stop taking over your CR plurk, haha

And sent :') Also I'm cool with continuing to chat on the CR pluck XD

Plurk*

gotta love autocorrect

And they're up on FA :'D

pops back in here because you mentioning Orrery in your other plurk reminded me!
so ages and ages ago I decided that when Orrery became a Metagross, she was gonna start bugging Loop to buy stickers for her to cover herself in, because she doesn't want to look too intimidating

I wasn't sure how and when she would think of it, I just thought it was cute
I just now realized... Cali loves stickers and sticking them on Pokemon. Orrery should totally evolve while Cali and Loop are traveling together so Cali can be the one to give Orrery the idea

That is insanely adorable and I'm fully on board with Cali being there when Orrery evolves :'D (also Cali is going to have a field day give Orrery her sticker makeover, its gonna be super sweet X3)

(bonding over love of stickers!)

Yep X3 I absolutely adore Orrery, she is a cinnamon roll and I'm living for that big time
