Howdy!Welcome to my little corner of the internet! This is a place I'll use to ramble on a little about myself, so hopefully it's helpful to anyone who's interested :)Updates are to be made regularly!
Who Am I?
- Hey there! You're probably already aware that I'm OmbraTheFurry, and I'm the author of this website. OmbraTheFurry is my full username, but I tend to go by Ombra when I'm being adressed by name!- I use she/her pronouns as a cisgender woman :)- I am a minor.- I consider myself a part of the LGBTQ+ community, namely as an unlabelled queer. A more descriptive explanation of my identity would be that I'm somewhere on the asexual and aromantic spectrum, seasoned with a bit of a feminine preference!- I'm a Canadian, as well as a person of color! :)- Typically, my timezone is EST.- My birthday is October 2nd!- All of my pages are a safe space for all identities and demographics!- Although it should go without saying, I feel the need to express that bigots or predators of any sort are the only exception to this statement. If you knowingly engage with abusive affairs of any sort, please do not interact with me or my work.
What do I Like To Do?
- I'm an artist, animator, storywriter, content creator and worldbuilder! My corner of the internet is dedicated to sharing my work with the rest of the world :)- Most of my content consists of visual arts, animation, and occasional tidbits of writing! If any of these mediums interest you, you're in luck!- I really enjoy designing and developing original characters (OCs) and bringing them to life in any way I can! Of course, where there's OCs, there tends to be original stories too! >:)- I'm an occasional fanartist, however my OCs tend to take the spotlight in the grand scheme of things.- I love to use my OCs in my animations, art, stories, writing and collaborative roleplays. They're most typically the subject of all my work, so hopefully you'll get to know them pretty well!- To find out more about where to find my work, head on over to the 'Where To Find Me' tab on the home page!
Boundaries
Here is some important information people should be aware of before interacting with me. Thank you for taking the time to review these.•
˙⋆✮⋆˙
•Basic dni criteria.Overall, anyone who actively discriminates against an innocent or undeserving community or demographic of people, as well as anyone who knowingly engages with or consumes media of abusive, exploitative or otherwise harmful affairs should not be interacting with me.If you need more information on what this may entail, please search up 'basic dni criteria' on your own terms.•
˙⋆✮⋆˙
•In general, while this should go without saying, please be aware of parasocial behavior and do your best to avoid it.I have had poor experiences regarding parasocial behavior, such as people falsely claiming they were in contact with me, modelling their identity off of mine, using my OCs, writing or creative work as their own, needlessly harassing others simply because they do not enjoy my work, and many more uncomfortable situations.Please be mindful of the way in which you engage with me and my work. It is important to note that I am just a regular human being behind the screen, not some celebrity or authority figure.I am a normal person, so I would like to be treated as one.•

•Please do not fandomize my characters/use them as though they are your own.This includes; using them in roleplays, selfshipping, inserting them into your own stories without permission, creating roleplay accounts/pretending to be them, or otherwise unsolicited usage.I am a small online creator who makes content for fun. My work is meant to be used as a source to understand my OCs' stories and character, not to use for your own purposes. My characters are an extremely personal piece of my work, as well as my creative identity. While I am honored you may connect with my work so deeply, I feel unseen and taken advantage of when I see such personal pieces of work being handled or represented by strangers.•In addition to the above,I am okay with public displays of strong connection to or identifying with my OCs! If you wish to create a themed profile regarding any of my OCs, go right ahead! Just remember to credit me!However,
I draw the line at identifying as my OCs. I am comfortable with people using my characters to express their own identities - to me, this is identifying with my OCs. The word 'with' implies cooperation, a multi-party effort!On the other hand, I am not comfortable with public displays of people claiming they are my OCs, or modelling their identities picture-perfect to my OCs identities. To me, this is identifying as my OCs. The word 'as' implies equivalence, that you are the same thing, which is not something I am very comfortable with being publicly displayed.My characters are an extremely personal piece of my work, as well as my creative identity. While I am honored you may connect with my work so deeply, I feel unseen and disconnected from my work when I see such personal emotional artifacts being represented by strangers.I acknowledge that identifying as my characters may not be something that can be helped. I cannot and will not attempt to suppress the experience of those who may feel this way, however I would like to request that you do not publicly display yourself exclusively as one of my OCs.I would like to emphasize that I do not feel any distaste for these types of experiences whatsoever - I would not like for my OCs to be represented by a stranger, that's all. I will respect your experience if you respect mine.•

•If you are interested in making an Alternate Universe (AU) of my stories or characters, please ask me prior to starting development.I am more likely to be comfortable with AU's that properly expand on what they are based off of. The more original and divergent the AU is from the source material, the better.AU's where characters, stories or concepts are reused and reinserted into different scenarios are not the type I tend to be comfortable with. Not much work is done to truly add to the characters. Thus, they are being used as though they are no longer my own, even though there has been no meaningful change to justify a different owner.This relates back to the reasoning of the previous boundary, not being fair to me and also not being fair to you.If I decline your prompt, please don't share the AU publicly. I cannot and will not stop anyone from privately creating AUs, that would be extremely possessive and unfair of me, but I would prefer for these AUs to stay private.
•In addition to the above,As of this point in time, I'm unsure of how I feel about fanfiction, as it treads the line between fanwork and AUs.I would prefer to be asked prior to any development.•

•Fanworks will always be openly welcomed and highly appreciated!!!Fanart, fan animations, MAPS, whatever medium you'd like to use, I'd love to see!!!The previous sections, specifically discussing my boundaries involving fandomizing my work and others using my characters may invoke confusion around fanwork.Any form of creative work made as a tribute to the original material counts as fanwork, and I am ecstatic to see it!The previous sections request against using my creative work as your own, disconnected from my attachment to the content as the author.Fanwork does not erase my connection to my work, as it is a tribute to the source material rather than a separate replica. Even better, fanwork allows for others to explore my creative content on an exceptionally personal level, which I am always euphoric to witness and be a part of! :)I'm always happy to share my work with other artists, as long as you are crediting me and recognizing me as the original author!I love to see what people do with my content and creations with regards to fanwork/fanart!! If you create any sort of fanwork, please show me ASAP!!!•

•Please don’t make heavily inspired or heavily referenced character designs or stories based off of mine.While I am completely okay with (and honored by) inspired characters, writings and creative projects based off my own, it makes me uncomfortable to see content that is evidently excessively referenced to mine.Characters and stories that exhibit the same quirks, personalities, characteristics or overall defining features are a little too much for me, especially when a work exhibits more than one of these defining traits at once.It makes me feel taken advantage of when I see my work being replicated with little-to-no originality. My creative work, which I have spent effort and time on creating, is being undeservingly claimed by someone else who did not work at all for the same outcome.This is not fair to me, and it is also not fair to you. By copying my work, you are depriving yourself of exercising your creative muscles and preventing yourself from improving as an artist.If you are not sure if your inspired character is too similar to mine, please don't hesitate to ask! I will not be offended or upset - in fact, I will feel overjoyed that I have inspired you, and you will have earned my respect for taking initiative and reaching out to me about it.You’re more than welcome to contact me if you’d like some help making an inspired character, I will be delighted to assist you with development!•

•No sexual nsfw or fetish media is permitted to be created of my OCs to any extent,Gore is alright by me, (as I am a gore artist myself,) as long as it isn't sexualized or fetishized in any way.Sexualization of my OCs and/or content to any extent is something that I will not be tolerating at this point in time, and probably will not be tolerating in the future.•Simping for my OCs is okay by me, so long as you are responsible about it.•
˙⋆✮⋆˙
•Please do not create AI chatbots of my characters!I do not consent myself or my work to be associated with any sort of generative AI.On top of this, at this point in time, I am not comfortable with foreign parties using my OCs, even if the foreign party is not a real person.•
˙⋆✮⋆˙
•Please always give proper credit if you use my assets in any way!('Assets,' referring to that of my objective content (art or animations,) not my intellectual properties or creative work (characters, stories and concepts.))If my assets are something you wish to use for your own work, please don't hesitate to do so as long as you are crediting me!Everyone is welcome to consume, reference and manipulate my objective content however they please, so long as it is within reason.•
Reposting my work to other sites is okay as long as proper credit is given!•
To give credit, please simply state which assets of mine were used, and ensure you convey that they were originally created by me directly!For example, “art by OmbraTheFurry on [whatever site you decide to redirect the user to,]” where you would normally add credit in your post.
•
YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE ANY OF MY ASSETS, SO LONG AS THEY ARE NOT USED FOR:- NSFW content of any sort,- AI datasets or AI/algorithm training purposes,- Profitable/commercial use,- Any malicious content that would otherwise be purposefully harmful to an individual, organization or community,- Overall any kind of malicious or exploitative use that a person would not reasonably consent to.
That's all for now, thank you so much for your attention and time. Thank you for respecting me and my boundaries. Hopefully this was insightful!
Socials
Here are all the places you can find me!If you discover an account that claims to be me, however is not listed here, please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. I would really appreciate the concern.
Most people know me for my work on Scratch. This is my most popular platform at this point in time, feel free to pop on by! A list of my alt accounts can be found in my chat studio, linked on my profile!
Most active social for casual content - sketchbook art, updates, infodumps, and all sorts of silly shenanigans! This is also the best place to contact me directly - my inbox is open for any community asks, as well as my DMs!
All the video content you could ask for! On my main channel, you'll find animations, livestreams, highlights, edits, and reuploads of unavailable Scratch animations! On my second channel, you'll find some more casual content, such as gaming highlights and tutorials!
Here's where you can find all my characters and worldbuilding! I'm trying to go for a wiki-style sort of navigation. Everything is a heavy work in progress, but I'm planning on changing that in the future :)
This is an archival for OC backstories! I'm not a huge writer, so this is one of my less active profiles, but I'd argue it's a pretty substantial one! As I plan to release more of my stories, this place will populate pretty quick!
I'll thrash you
A place where I'll put my best work! I won't be as active here, though.
Occasional art, mostly fanart. Not as active in these places, I really only have them so I can follow artists I like :')
