Blacklist

Do not sell, trade, gift or otherwise transfer ownership of my designs to these people

1.14.23

I have my own reasons for everyone listed here, I will give additional information only if I feel the need. Do not hunt them down and attack and / or harass these users.i mostly use my blacklist to inform my resellers and my community that these users may be bad news and to interact with caution, however they still aren't allowed to obtain my designs.You may use your own judgement when interacting with these people, but Again, they are no longer allowed to obtain my designs. Please respect this, as I don't blacklist people as lightly as I block them.If you see this happen, please report it to me on one of my active socials:
https://gandyre.carrd.co/#socialsYou will not be mentioned unless permission is granted, and if granted, only when it is completely necessary.

Discord

We have an official community Discord server!In here we chat and hang out. Discord is the only platform where i send out pings, it's somewhere that you can always find me, and it's also one of the first to see new designs. Some of 'em get grabbed up so fast that you'd never see them for sale outside the server!The server is now invite-only! You may DM me to ask for an invite on Deviantart (Gandyre, notes only) or Toyhouse (salmonbones). You can ask on Tumblr aswell (Gandyre) but it might be a while before I see it there. You may also ask someone who is in the server to request an invite.

DISCORD SERVER MODERATION POLICY

1.14.23

moderation policies
I do my best to make the server a safe place, and so do my mods. Keep in mind that you are not entitled to be there. we do not give out warnings if the offense is serious enough, and we may not give out warnings at all; if myself or another member of moderation sees fit, you will be removed. You may reach out to us and ask why, but we're not required to give you a response, especially if you've been blocked.If i block you after you've been banned, you're no longer welcome around me or my community. Don't push your luck with alts / attempt ban evasion to interact with me or anyone in the community and / or our server with ill intent - this will get you blacklisted from obtaining my designs, and obviously, enough harassment will provide grounds for a public statement and / or involvement of proper authorities.If i don't block you after the ban, you're free to interact outside of the server, just don't attempt to rejoin unless we come to that conclusion at some point. These bans may happen for a few reasons, and we'll usually reach out to provide answers to your linked social. If you choose to retaliate with this opportunity instead of having a mature discussion, you will be blocked.A Reminder: being in the same room as a stranger is different than being in the same country as a stranger; be considerate. chances are that you don't know eachother very well. Usually, we as mods don't know your damage, your intentions, or any context: we just know when actions need to be taken to ensure the server remains a safe space, and we go from there.My mods and I do not treat friends, regulars, other staff or strangers any differently from one another if rules are broken. Anyone will face the punishment appropriate for the severity of their offense.I'm not immune, either! I'm always open to feedback on how to better lead the team or manage the community space. I trust myself to behave, but please let me know if any reasonable conflicts arise. I'm just as open to working on myself!Myself and the mods have busy lives, and this shop is also my full-time job. I have a ferret to feed and bills to pay. We never take action on a "hey it's boring here let's start something" basis - we're way too preoccupied to instigate social media soap-operas. Actions are only taken once we feel a genuine concern has sprung up and the evidence has been presented, verified, and discussed.Essentially, my stance when heading a community is that safety should come first above all else. I want my community to be a lil internet neighborhood, with no room for bad actors hanging out at the bus stop.

some standard questions along with
a few from the community!what art program/s do you use?
on pc, Paint tool sai v.2 and sometimes clip studio!
For mobile I use layerpainthd (android)
all three were 100% worth the price!what do you use to draw?
for mobile art, i draw on my samsung note9.
on pc, i use a gaomon m10k! i'd recommend it, but be super gentle
around the port where it plugs into the tablet.do you have a ping list, and can i be added?
i only do pings in the discord server, however if you'd like to join, you're free to add the roles yourself in #roles!Why do you need to have a seperate page for payment links?
alot of clients have reported issues in the past when i'd link them to my profiles. i don't necessarily like the solution, but it's the only work-around i can come up with. still super sorry for the extra steps!!do you have any unsold designs laying around?
nah, i keep them for myself if they don't sell after a few days!
once i decide to keep a character, they stay with me for good.do you mind making edits to pieces?
not at all! i know some artists are weird/testy about it
but i'm gonna be real, it doesn't feel right to let
a client walk away dissatisfied if there's
anything i can do to make it right.how the hell do you draw so fast??
me, feeding into my ego? no way!!!! but like this is a genuine
question i get asked and it always gives me a good chuckle.
i've been drawing since i could hold a pencil, and i've been
drawing in this particular style for a couple years now.
it's just a product of experience!can you give me tips / can i suggest a tutorial?
absolutely to both! but please keep in mind
that i'm a busy man, don't pester me if i can't find the time
for a lil while.is it okay to ask about things, even if i don't buy anything?
yeah definitely! i hate that this is an issue some clients have,
you should never be afraid to approach an artist if
they're worth the pen they draw with.Do you still have files from x or y?
i archive everything, maybe more than i should x) there's
a good chance that i have the files for any design/commission
i've done in the past, and if i don't have them on-hand,
i can probably dig them up with some time!where are you most active?
Deviantart, Discord and facebook all get the same
amount of attention! though by far the discord is the
most active on a community level.do you speak any other languages?
i speak basic german, but don't hold it against me
if i struggle! x') other than that, i understand some
scattered italian and spanish.do you have a personal account
yes! i prefer to keep it seperate, since it's two vastly different ends of the scale content-wise, but you're free to pop over and have a look! https://ratrux.xyzwould you be interested in an rp?
no, not at all, sorry. i used to rp warriors back in the day but
for a long time i've genuinely disliked it and i don't
ever see myself returning to it.why. why is your discord name always cursed.
...silly mode.what's your favorite + least favorite thing to draw?
on god, cats. but i enjoy drawing a little bit of everything! i think the only things that i dislike drawing are hats. i've never been able to figure them out oopwhat are your favorite + least favorite colors?
i love ambers, browns, greens and hot pink!
on the other hand, i have trouble seeing darker colors,
so they're not my favorite to work with!why don't you accept fanart / licensed commissions?
I live in America; companies are constantly striking artists that do this, and in some cases, I want to avoid fandoms that may attract harmful users into the community.can i use your personal oc or one of your designs as a roleplay / oc faceclaim if i'm not the owner?
No; for my own ocs / gandyre ocs that were unsold, I have never allowed this and I never will. For designs i've sold, you must ask the current owner for permission.more will be added with time!
