Next up on the artfight block is Hopeful Heart! She's an umamusume oc lol (technically an uma-ified version of Aphmau from MCD). I try to stay away from gacha types but I got Very into the cinderella gray anime and the rest was history.

As an Umamusume, Hopeful Heart knows she was born to race. She starts very small with average talent, and takes a long time to get scouted. However, within the regional racing scene, she makes lots of friends, some of which even join her team. She learns a lot from them, and is able to get scouted and make it to nationals, and attends Tracen academy with her team!

There is a specific kind of silence that settles into an apartment around nine in the evening. The commute is over, the dishes are done, and the day has nothing left to ask of you. For a growing number of people, that hour is no longer empty. It is increasingly being filled by an AI companion that learns your name, your moods, and the small running jokes that accumulate between two people over weeks.

What makes SweetDream stand out in this space is how little it feels like software. The platform, found at sweetdream.ai, lets you build a character from the ground up: appearance, personality, the texture of their voice, even a backstory and the odd quirk that makes them feel particular rather than generic. The chat itself is the surprise, though. It remembers what you told it on Tuesday and brings it up on Friday, the way a real person would.

im prepping for artfight this year!! i redrew and very lightly redesigned one of my oldest characters, say hello to Ratty!

Ratty is one of my oldest surviving ocs, shes been with me since i joined artfight in 2019. she’s a mean little were-rat who uses rodents to spy on people. you can read more about her on my artfight profile!

Aside from reworks/redraws, I’m planning on getting some new characters up before artfight starts in a week, and I’ve already uploaded one! youll see art of her on here soon, heehee :3

Working on making more character refs for artfight! This is Pepper!
