Howdy I'm Blu (Once upon a time ago known as Bluejay)! You can call me a hobby/freelance artist or just an artist to be honest! These days I don't really post my art like I used to on social media. I've opted to enjoy it more personally instead. I aspire to still participate in Art Fight when I have time though!I've been drawing ever since I was younger but really got into it upon discovering the joy that was the 2000's internet! Things like Flipnote Hatena, Warrior Cats, anime and other online artists were some of my early big inspirations. Ever since then I've been posting my work and have even been involved in some online communities/projects! Nowadays though I really just aspire to chill and have casual fun with art just like I did when I was younger!Overall creating is a way for me to express myself, explore, understand and show appreciation for things around me! I create for myself first and foremost and if other folks happen to like what I make along the way then that's pretty rad! I love to dabble in all sorts of things whether it be digital, traditional, handicrafts, music playlist curation and more! What I mostly post though is my digital "anime" styled stuff! It tends to consist of clean/messy sketch pieces, humans/humanoid or ferals. Often the pieces will feature my original characters (Dreamscape) if not myself, my partner or my friends!Dreamscape is the title of my body of work featuring my Original Characters (OC's), some of which are over a decade old now! I mostly focus on the "main'' cluster of them and their stories which intertwine with the larger cast of OC's in Dreamscape! While I've organized it rather seriously to a degree it's really just my fun passion hobby blend of art and writing! If you want to know more about it you can check out my Dreamscape page!

❥ CAN I BE INSPIRED, STUDY OR TRY ASPECTS OF YOUR STYLE?Yea! I’m honored if you enjoy my style and want to try aspects of it!

Studying the style or recreating it for memes is all good! Entirely trying to mimic a style every day or tracing it to claim as your own is NOT ok!

❥ CAN WE BE FRIENDS / CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT SOMEONE?• Can we be friends?
My best answer for this personally is not impossible but unlikely. I just enjoy casually socializing with others online whether they're acquaintances or strangers. If friendship just organically happens- cool! Please don't force it.
*Please keep in mind even if we interact and I respond on socials to you (Ex. Your comment/replies to things) it does NOT mean we are automatically friends. Frequency of interaction does not inherently reflect on closeness between individuals.• Can you tell me about someone?
I'm wary of answering questions like these and may not at times! I've had previous experiences of people approaching me with this type of question with ill/invasive intent towards others. If it's something surface level I may answer- but if there's anything amiss I will just ignore it.

❥ SONA/OC QUESTIONS?• Where can I find your reference sheets?
Over on my Toyhouse along with a bunch of other art/images!• Can I draw/make fanart of your OC's or you?
Yes! I'm super appreciative of any fanart! Please just respect my boundaries as listed below- if unsure about something just ask me! Thank you!
❌ NO GORE, NSFW, FETISH, GENDERBENDS OR WHITEWASHING.
❌ NO SHIPPING MY OC'S/SONAS WITH YOUR OC'S/SONAS.• Kinning your OC's?
PLEASE NO KINNING (As per the old definition/usage). I don't mind people generally relating to my OC's but full "I am literally actually them" I'm not ok with. My OC's are an extension of me. There are plenty of public media characters for you to kin, please do not use my personal characters.• Whats Dreamscape? Will you make it a comic or something?
Dreamscape is the general title for a majority of my work featuring my Original Characters (OC's)! While I've organized it rather seriously at times it's really just for fun for me! If you want to know more about it you can check out my Dreamscape page or ask!I currently have no plans to make Dreamscape into something formal like a comic, book or animated series at this time. I'm not closed off to the idea of it becoming something "more"- but I'm plenty happy with it as is- in it's current chaotic form! LOL

❥ REDBUBBLE / DO YOU SELL STICKERS?I used to! Apologies for the confusion if you see a post somewhere still mentioning my Redbubble/Stickers. As of this time I closed my Redbubble and don't have any alternatives to order previous stickers I've made.
If at any point I reopen it or an alternative way to order stickers I will be sure post about it!

.✦ What is it? ✦.

Dreamscape is the title of my body of work featuring my Original Characters (OC's), some of which are over a decade old now! I mostly focus on the "main'' cluster of them and their stories which intertwine with the larger cast of OC's in Dreamscape! While I've organized it rather seriously to a degree it's really just my fun passion hobby blend of art and writing!Dreamscape and its characters go back to when I was in middle school! I made some OC's that loosely had a plot inspired by shonen anime and Warrior Cats! All the characters were basically cats if not some other creature. Over time I explored more fantasy magic elements and started drawing human forms of the characters more. After going through a variety of AU's, teenage angst plot points, designs and additional characters it sorta settled into the version it's seen as today! While there's more of a general "plot" now I still fondly dabble with older versions of the story and OC's! Dreamscape evolved to the point there are now 85+ characters in the cast however less than a quarter take focus. The few are essentially the main characters or are very close to them. I've been incredibly lucky to have friends who have been willing to contribute, hype and play around with the ideas of Dreamscape over the years that have ultimately helped me shape it into the more extensive version it is today. It's always wild to remember it all stemmed from a small story about a bunch of cats going on a journey from when I was a tween!Overall despite experimenting with the idea of making Dreamscape something more "official" over the years at this time I'm much happier keeping it more so for myself (and my friends). I do love sharing my OC's, their stories and the artwork I make to accompany them with others from time to time. In the end though Dreamscape will always be something just for me to have fun daydreaming away about!

.✦ General Layout ✦.

Dreamscape can be divided into three parts known as Purple (Akumu), Blue (Daichi) and Pink (Norah) that fuse together to make the overall story of Dreamscape. This categorization exists as an easier way to organize the cast of characters and their stories.Admittedly Norah/Pink is the least developed of the parts as it's the newest. Norah however is the character who's creation marked when Dreamscape officially transitioned from a smaller story into the larger cluster of stories it is today.The story of Dreamscape basically revolves around the sibling trio Akumu, Daichi and Norah. This includes their parents' stories, their own and vaguely their children's as well. Dreamscape is basically a bunch of interwoven/connected storylines though otherwise! There is no official start or end for Dreamscape however! It's just something I am constantly adding, removing and tweaking endlessly as I feel like it. There are often alternate universes/plots (AU's) for fun for some or all of the characters.Since Dreamscape started essentially as a story about a bunch of cats in a semi magical world you'll still see me mess with those elements! This can range from remnants of the magic system seen mostly with the eye color lore, fangs, angel wings and ways I draw the characters hair at times. I sometimes do it for lore and other times just for fun! In a nutshell Dreamscape has a main story but simultaneously functions as an endless sandbox to play around with whenever! This little synopsis was written in 2025 so as the years go on I'm sure things will change!
