⊱ ━━━━.⋅ introduction ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
Hello beans, ladies, gents and nonbinary darlings! You can call me Arthur or Lex and I am your host for your lovely time while you're here in this book 💛

Before we begin, I wanna lay down some ground rules, I believe it's always appropriate to do so, right?

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ criticism ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
Please keep your criticisms creative and kind! Just note my style is different from others and so the anatomy is going to be off for that reason whether for artistic freedom or I am trying to experiment with different things! If you don't like it, please don't harass me or say my art sucks as I don't find that kind and I already struggle with low self esteem already qwq;;

I use Ibispaint and I am always up to suggestions on how to do stuff (like shading and lighting). Please send examples since following off a writing guide is difficult qwq;;

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ requests ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
I like to draw gifts and such for a lot of people (especially my friends) and I am open to requests! Please don't spam my comments with a lot of requests as that will stress me out; however, I am open to doing 1-2 requests from different people each art dump if people truly like my art. If you want me to draw your oc, ask to tag before doing so!
I will not draw characters from fandoms I have no idea about so if I tell you no, don't get butthurt

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ art trade ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
I'm always up to doing an art trade with anyone! However, the art trade must be equal and must be drawing the same things!
For example: if I am drawing you a full body, colored, that's what you're drawing me in return. I will only be doing ocs, no canon characters from fandoms (unless I know the fandom REALLY well- like Hetalia). We will work this out in the comments if you choose to. I'll probably do 1-2 art trades an art dump

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ redesigning ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
I took down my redesigning book since nobody seemed particularly interested in it soooooooo the information is going into my art book!

Formats for redesigning
Now, there are different formats for which I can present my art in. I wanna keep this book free; however, when others make art for me, it helps motivate me to work better!

Simple bust
- free

Full body
- Offer

Full body + Accessories + Personality In Nutshell
- Offer

Reference Sheet (personality, likes/dislikes, extra info, color palate)
- Expensive, will take more time

Offers

- Da points (don't have it, don't need it)

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ other ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
Art takes time. Please don't spam me asking when the art dump is going to be done because it all depends on motivation. Motivation is key and energy. I'll have times where I am full on excited and can sit down and draw for six hours straight; however, there are other times where I can't draw at all. Please respect that

Wattpad isn't my life so don't expect me to be on all the time, 24/7. I have work that I have to attend so please don't flood and think I am ignoring you

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ goals ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
I think it's always good to tell people their goals even though psychology wise, it isn't. However, I wanna try to get to 200 chapters and have good communication with the audience! In my last one, I'd read over the comments and didn't respond since I didn't wanna say "thanks" 7+ times. However, to show my gratitude and thanks, I will try to respond!

I will try to remain positive as I don't wanna bring down the mood and will try not to vent all the time in this book! I want it to be a good, positive experience

To be more interacting, every 25 chapters I will host an art contest! My art contests are always judged on creativity, not skill 💛

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ about HOD/EOTUF ⋅.━━━━ ⊰
HOD stands for "Hands Of Destiny" while EOTUF stands for "Eyes Of The Unfaithful"
This world was primarily inspired off of CountryHumans when I joined the fandom for about a week and left. I wanted to change some things and create my own characters so HOD was created! I later found out about Hetalia (favorite anime and only anime I will watch-) months later and that fueled my motivation to make my world and Hetalia and CHs different from mine! Hetalia primarily inspired my "reversed world" and the book that was up called "Destiny".
