Hello everyone! It sure has been a long while since I last updated here, but those who have contacted me via chat and notes sure know I'm still alive. :) This is a notice about a scammer that has been going around, using my name - with a typo, contacting individuals trying to trick them into buying my old adopts and YCHs, saying the winning bidders cancelled the payments.
I didn't want to post about this at first, seeing that if people check the information on my adopts and YCHs carefully, and if they check the person's account, they would be able to tell right away the person was a scammer.
I contacted the helpdesk, and they took 2 days to deactivate the scammer's account.
However, today someone messaged me that they almost got scammed. While I was glad they didn't get scammed eventually, I figured I should say something about this, just in case the scammer tries to do the same trick again, not only using my name, but other adopt and YCH makers out there too.
In my case, the scammer altered my name into "zenithonocha", and used my avatar as theirs, so at first glance you might easily mistake them as me. They were also half way through making their profile page alike mine. But you should still be able to tell easily if you check out their profile and gallery.
I really do hope no one got scammed at all this time.
In conclusion: Please always double check whenever someone messages you asking if you want to pick up a cancelled adopt/YCH. Technically, please always double check whenever people come to you asking if you want to buy something from "them".
And that's that about the scammer's case!
On a side note, I will try to be more active as soon as possible, if life allows. I have a lot of plans, and too little time. But I want to let you guys know that I always appreciate whoever remembers, supports, and loves my works! <3
I can not reply to all chat messages, comments and notes, but I do read them all, and please feel free to contact me anytime if there's something, via DA notes/chats, instagram DMs, or email me directly at: maitran.omocha@gmail.com . I will get back to you asap!
Oh and no need to ask me if my commissions are still open. You can always check the status on my official commission info site: https://zenithomocha.wixsite.com/commissioninfo
Anyways, I hope everyone is doing fine! Please take care of your physical and mental health, and show more care and love to your loved ones while you still can. :)
Happy life-ing and arting! /o/
- What would you like to collab on? (Adopts and/or commissions? I'd prefer adopts a tiny bit more, because for commissions we'll need to do samples and it'd take a bit of our time. We can also do YCH type of commissions. Just hit me with your suggestion. C: )
- Examples of your works? (Please give me around 3-5 of your most recent works/the works that you're most proud of/the style that you'd like to use for the collab.)
- How would you like to share the works in the collab? (For example, you do the lineart and I do the coloring, etc. You can pick the part(s) that you are more confident in, and/or let me do the part you think I am better at.)
- How would you like the payment to be shared? (I'd most likely go with 50-50, but in case you'd like to take more works, or leave more works to me, you can adjust this accordingly.)
- How active can you be at responding/working? (I am busy myself, so I wouldn't ask for you to be super active. However, please only offer to work with me if you're 100% sure you are able to do your part according to our agreements. In other words, please be resp'd like to add you on LINE or Skype for easy contact/discussion. However if you're very active on DA and confident we can keep everything through notes, that's fine to me too. C: )
- When would you like to start on the collab? (We don't have to start the collab right away, if one of us is busy. So in case my schedule is already full, but I am interested in your offer, I will let you know in case you'd like to collab with me some other time. In case I am interested in your offer but when I contact you, you are busy, you can give me an estimated time that you're free so I can arrange my time accordingly for the collab.)
- Your contact? (LINE or Skype ID, or both, in case you'd like to add me there.)
- I'd prefer someone experienced in doing commissions and/or making adoptables, so it'd cut some time for us. For adoptables, we can work on random adopts, or use my closed species Shinrei, or your closed species if you have one. For commissions, we can do normal commissions, or YCHs. However please don't hesitate if you're a newcomer and would like to try these out. (But please don't come to me asking something like, 'What are adopts/commissions?' XD; Please spend a little time to learn about these before you show your interest in doing collaborations with me on them.)
- Please also understand that I will be quite picky. In case if I think our styles don't match, I will have to reject your offer. I hope you won't mind that. <3
- This is not a contest btw. XD; Each person can collab with me on more than one project at the same time. I will collab with you as long as our discussion comes to a good agreement and I can arrange my schedule to fit yours. If our collab is well-loved and you'd like to collab with me in a long-term basis, please feel free to tell me, I will consider that! ^_^
- You can cancel the collab offer anytime before we start working on it officially, please simply kindly tell me that you'd like to cancel. But you cannot cancel it after one of us have spent our time working on it.
- I receive quite many notes daily, so it will take me a while to reply to all. But I'll try to get back to you in at most 3 days.
- In case I don't reply to your note after 3 days from sending, it means I haven't received it/missed it. You can resend another note to me. I'm sorry in advance for the inconvenience.
One can only employ a Shinrei with their agreement/permission.
To form a contract with a Shinrei, one will need to:
- Give them a name.
- Seal them into an object and write, or better, carve their name on the object
This name will also appear on the Shinrei's body as a tattoo.
A Shinrei can be summoned at any time from the object, no matter where they are.
If the object is broken, their bond will be broken too, so it has to be fixed as soon as possible. In case the object can’t be fixed, a Shnrei can also be transferred to another object with the same method as employing. A same name has to be used.
A master, however, tend to prefer fixing a damaged object than transferring the spirit to a new one. Because the longer the object’s age is since their contract, the deeper bond they have. This will help them summoning the Shinrei much faster and also enhance their power.
A Shinrei before being employed is a free spirit and can act on their own decision, but after being employed by a master, they’d swear their loyalty to the master and use their abilities as their master commands.
The only case they can act on their own will is to protect their master.
If a Shinrei rejects their master's command, they will suffer definite pain - mentally and physically.
The pain is only lifted when their master forgives them.
Their spirit will fade away, as well as their ability, if they suffer too much pain.
Worst scenario is that the spirit will disappear, leaving only the body- as an empty vessel behind.
The vessel can still walk around, talk and eat, but they have no memory and new memories also can’t be written. They are more or less, just empty doll vessels.
A disappeared Shinrei’s spirit most likely won’t return on their own. However, if the master wholeheartedly wishes for them to return, they can keep praying and ask for help from spiritual ceremonies. One day their wish might touch the spirit’s heart and brings them back to the vessel.
Simple minimized modes to save energy.
A Shinrei can only achieve these forms if they have a master.
They mostly don’t need to sleep and eat in these modes. However of course they cannot cast their magic as well. Only very simple magic spells can be done.
They are very small in these forms (palm size or less), so the masters often use these forms if they want to hide their Shinrei's presence.
The spirit’s true form, with their true power. They are often much bigger than their default form.
Not all Shinreis can shift to this form. Normally, only the stronger ones can.
However, even if they can, they should only use this form under dead-or-alive situations, because it takes up a lot of energy. Overusing can also burn out the vessel and their spirit won’t be able to return to the vessel anymore.
