hello!
my name is Avery (she/they), and I draw custom emotes for Discord servers, AAC, and communication!
this post is going to tell you everything you need to know about my blog, but it’ll be a bit long, so I’ve put a ‘keep reading’ checkpoint here for your scrolling comfort. :]
rules/guidelines
unlike some other emote blogs on here, I don’t really have a strict DNI. anyone can use my emotes (with credit); I post these images on a public platform, which means I can’t stop anyone from using them.
however, I expect everyone to follow some simple, common-decency rules here:
no bigotry/hate (racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, fatphobia, anti-immigration rhetoric, pro-Trump/MAGA/alt-right rhetoric, etc).
don’t feed my art into AI.
don’t claim my art as yours.
please give me credit if you use my emotes. you can do this by starting your Discord emoji ID with “symbi_”
be respectful and kind in my inbox, and be patient with me if you submit a request.
I think those are some very reasonable rules to follow, so hopefully you all can follow them!
“but what about endos/[x term/identity]/[insert discourse topic here]??????”
honestly, I don’t care.
I have my own opinions on a lot of these topics, but I really don’t think they’re important, so I don’t share them online. as long as you are not hurting any real person/animal, and do not think it is okay to hurt any real person/animal, you can use my emotes. I don’t talk about discourse here and will never.
requests
my requests are currently open, and they are free! here’s what I can/will, can’t, and won’t do.
I can and will do:
text (wordmojis)
combined text and image emotes
full-body poses
simple animals
emotes related to substances (will have appropriate TWs)
emotes related to mental health, disability, and chronic illness awareness
mild blood/injury if it is related to a disability/illness/health condition or is a meme/joke/reaction
wordmojis that involve swearing and sarcasm
simple recolours (e.g. changing the colour of the text in a wordmoji, changing the skin tone of an emote depicting a person)
I can’t do (because it’s beyond the scope of my abilities and/or canvas size):
animated emotes
complex full-body animals or furries (I’ve never been good at drawing these, and I don’t want to disappoint you ;_;)
complex fantasy creatures (e.g. dragons; can’t do this for the same reason listed above)
full blended rendering of emotes (my canvas size is too small + it requires too much time for my work to be both free for you and fair to me)
wordmojis in a language other than English
I won’t do:
NSFW, including words, topics, and imagery
gore
wordmojis with slurs (yes, even if you can reclaim them!)
wordmojis with AAVE — I’m not Black, so it feels inappropriate to draw these, even if the person requesting it is Black
emotes that promote or provide graphic details about eating disorders, self-harm, suicide, violence/abuse, and SA. disability/mental health awareness is one thing, but this crosses a line
emotes of a specific person or character. I sometimes do emotes of my favourite characters for fun and self-indulgent purposes, but I don’t do them for others
remakes of existing emotes with something else added on
what I use to make my emotes
I use Krita as my drawing program.
my canvas is 500x500 px, with a transparent background.
brushes I use
