⚠️DO NOT REPOST OR USE MY WORK⚠️

I will not tolerate enough who reposts, uses, traces, or heavily references my work. This includes using my work to feed into or train AI or to recreate my art/work using AI. If one were to use my work as a reference then I don't mind, but if it becomes something like a copied idea or character, then it crosses the line for me— The only exception to this is if: (1) I made a request/given permission for a repost; (2) you are someone who commissioned me for a specific piece, or (3) if the character I've drawn is yours.
— Fanart is NOT to be reposted as well. Characters of course will not be mine, but please do not repost my work at all.
— Please report to me or ask the person in question to take down the art if you see it posted anywhere by someone who isn't me.

🌈THIS IS A SAFE SPACE FOR LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY🌈

As someone part of the community, I want to make sure that my space is inclusive and a safe space for everyone.It's my duty to also support and educate others about the community and why we are valid as people.I will not at all tolerate anyone who acts offensively or disrepectfully towards me or the community. If I see anyone who does so, you will be blocked and reported.That aside, here are some of my identities (Note that this is for Draph, the host of our system)(Also pls note that we are not asking you to memorize our identities, we simply just want to show them. Each flag is clickable that leads you to a website that educates you further about the identity and flag.):

🌸RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION IS NOT TOLERATED HERE🌺

Similar to the previous bullet, I will not tolerate
racism, sexism/misogyny, ableism, islamophobia, and any other form of discrimination against a marginalized group.Anyone who does anything offensive, will be blocked and reported.

🏳️IF I HAPPEN TO HAVE DONE/SAID SOMETHING WRONG/HARMFUL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND EDUCATE ME🏳️

I can still make mistakes and possibly harbor toxic mindsets that can lead me to say something harmful or offensive.I genuinely do not want to have misinformation or any form of opressive ideas, so I am open to being called out for the behaviour, apologize for my actions, and being further educated. Albeit, I'd rather not have it publicly or become bigger than it is.In the case of informing me of problematic individuals I should not follow or support for their actions, please let know if I so happen to be actively supporting them. Though I'd like proof of why said person is problematic as I do not want any false accusations.

🌕WHO ARE YOUR MAIN SONA/S?🌕

I have a truesona or an actual me sona, and about 3 more main ocs.➡️ My sona is Draphene Sprok (just Draph will do). They're the ombre blue parasyte-infested dragon that is my very representative and mascot.➡️ Agent Tuko (any pronouns, except neos) is a newer main oc. They were granted Anomaly status and abilities by my sona and are applicable in most Anomaly AUs. As of now they are placable in the Anomaly Cafe (Roblox) AU.➡️ Harí (they/she/he/sparkle/rainbow) is my main mascot for my Animal Jam adjacent gaming account, @jamjam_draphxsprok on Instagram. Although they are the face of my account, my representative self is on another AJ dragon. Hence, Harí is very much another loved main oc in my own AJ AU lore.➡️ My retired, yet very beloved, main oc is my Sky: Children of the Light game (Sky:CoTL) avatar, Draph. Their backstory and life revolves around the world of Sky: CoTL. However I will be revamping them and the Sky gods into its own thing as I want to source separate my Sky ocs into its own thing just because :3.

🖌️DO YOU NEED MY PERMISSION TO DRAW MY CHARACTERS?🖌️

You don't need my permission if you want to draw/write for any of my characters. Just be sure to tag me since I like seeing them. Though please note the following boundaries:• When doing art with FOCUS ON ANY KIND OF HEAVY GORE, pls inform or ask me first as I may not be comfortable or prefer not to have certain ocs be depicted such.
• When doing art with FOCUS ON BODY HORROR OR UNCANNY HORROR, pls also inform or ask me which ocs are applicable unless I've already stated somewhere in my posts that it is allowed.
• DO NOT DRAW MY OCS IN EXPLICIT S*XUAL NSFW art/works. Only ones allowed are close friends and partners; or unless I gave permission or commissioned for it.
• Ship art of any of my ocs is prohibited unless given permission. This is often only granted towards close friends or partners.

🌹AM I ALRIGHT WITH PEOPLE SHIPPING MY CHARACTER/S WITH THEIR OWN/OTHERS?🌹

Although I do have original characters (ocs) that I ship together, I am NOT okay with any of them being shipped with stranger's ocs.These characters, especially my sonas, have aspects that are close to me despite being fictional characters. It makes me uncomfortable when someone just puts them in a relationship without my knowledge or consent.If I did have my ocs shipped with another person's own, then that would be because we're mutuals/close enough.

✅WHAT YOU CAN DM ME FOR:✅

• Questions regarding commissions or if you would like to commission me.• If you have the intention of buying an adopt (character design) from me or have a design concern with me.• If we are friends/mutuals (obviously lol)• If you'd like to report an issue or concern that involves or relates to me, or requires my attention.• If I encouraged you to dm me for reasons.• If you'd like to just drop by and say/give something.• If I encourage replies or open forum with me or if you just want to reply to a post, story, reel, video I made and just want to make commentary or lite conversations.

🚫WHAT YOU CAN'T DM ME FOR:🚫

• You shouldn't dm me to ask, "if we can be friends". Friendship doesn't work that way and please don't dm me if that is your only intention. Especially because you think you'll benefit from me for being an artist.• To roleplay- I don't really have time to roleplay, nor do I enjoy doing so with strangers or people I don't know.• To ask for free art or discounts.• To ask me out- my dms are not open for relationships. I am also not interested with creating relationships with people I don't know.• To make jokes, pranks- it's weird most especially if it's done to me by strangers.• If dming me is just not encouraged.

🎨WHAT ART PROGRAM/S DO I USE?🎨

I primarily use ClipStudio Paint to do my art nowadays. I want to try Ibis Paint for animation soon, but right now I am using my College License for ToonBoom.Before CSP, I used Procreate, and before that I used Medibang.
