How does claiming an adoptable character work?

Leave a comment on the DeviantArt listing with 'Claim' and your PayPal or Ko-fi address. First valid comment wins. You'll receive the full-resolution file and a brief lore note within 48 hours of payment.

What do I receive when I claim an adoptable?

Full-resolution PNG (3000px+), a world-origin brief (1–2 paragraphs of lore context), and the option to use the character commercially in your own work.

Can I change the name or design after claiming?

Yes — the character is fully yours. Name, backstory, and design modifications are entirely up to you.

How do Supporter members get early access to adoptable drops?

Supporter tier ($5/month) and above receive a private link 48 hours before any drop goes public. This is the only tier benefit that affects adoptable availability.

Are adoptable characters exclusive?

Yes. Each adoptable character is sold once and never made available again. Once claimed, the design is permanently retired from the shop.

Can I commission additional art of my adopted character?

Yes. Adoptable buyers receive a discount code (30–50% off) valid for approximately 14 days after purchase, which can be used toward a commission of that character or any other.

About

ohshinakai is a character art creator and worldbuilder of six spanning original fictional universes: Fantastiska, Aldermark, Blue Revere, GRiL Universe, Elfdalia and Empyrea.

What started as an AI art experiment on DeviantArt in late 2022 has grown into something I never expected: a community of collectors, readers, and collaborators who keep coming back for the characters, the stories, and the worlds behind them. I'm still grateful for every person who showed up early and stuck around.

Today, the project covers original character art and daily subscriber-exclusive illustrations, a free story archive of 30+ stories written by other contributing artists (mostly members from the DeviantArt community), adoptable character drops where you can claim a one-of-a-kind OC, custom commissions for character portraits, scenes, and book covers, worldbuilding lorebooks and an expanding character encyclopedia, and a tiered membership system from free readers to collaborative worldbuilders.

Everything lives here on this site and on DeviantArt, where the community first took root.

If you're new, the best place to start is the story archive: it's free, it'll give you the feel of each world, and you don't need to subscribe to anything. If you're already here for the art, the gallery and adoptables pages are where the action is.
