The Gang of Five
The forum will have some maintenance done in the next couple of months. We have also made a decision concerning AI art in the art section.


Please see this post for more details.

The wiki and my OC brought me here hehe

    • My OCs
Been a fan of the franchise for as long as I can remember (I'm 30), and I think I have had an account here at some point in middle or high school (or I may have just been a lurker without an account since I was less social back then?). But I was browsing the LBT wiki for a screenshot to add as a backdrop to my TLBT OC's toyhouse profile, and I saw a link to this forum there and I was like "Oh wow, I remember it, I should finally make an account if I never did".

This is my OC Freckles, I'd created her wayyyy back in 2007 after I saw TLBT13 for the first time, but I was like 15 then, so I didn't give her much storyline/lore/etc. other than this song being her in a nutshell (she has self-esteem issues about her own appearance). I had drawn her back in 2007, but the sketch is sadly probably lost forever as I used to be pretty bad about keeping my drawings where they wouldn't get thrown away, damaged, or lost. But I've been working slowly on her bio ever since getting her designed- https://toyhou.se/18494845.freckles Toyhouse is pretty nifty for that.

As for a bit about myself, well I'm a huge fan of The Land Before Time (obviously haha), Ice Age, Happy Feet, Rio, Jurassic Park, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Twister (the 1996 movie), ET,  and too many other movies to list here. Musically, I'll listen to basically anything that isn't bad, but my favorite styles tend to be alternative rock, nu metal/alternative metal, symphonic metal, traditional heavy metal, hard rock, and metalcore; my favorite bands being Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Bullet For My Valentine, Ice Nine Kills, Evanescence, Nightwish, Alestorm, Chevelle, Red, Nickelback, 90s Metallica, and Breaking Benjamin, but I also enjoy early Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Halsey's latest album, Architects, Seether, Slipknot, Godsmack, a few older Katy Perry songs, some classic rock, Epica, Within Temptation, and POD, sometimes country and hip-hop (if it's got influences from rock or metal).

I'm a bit of an artist and writer, but art block has been hurting me there. But I think with my first-ever OC finally given a proper reference sheet after 15 years, I should be able to find the needed motivation to finally get back into drawing and writing. I have a twitter where I post art, I should end up linking that if I ever get back into consistently posting anything to it. Mainly it's just been used for music and sharing photos of merchandise I buy. I like having OCs, and I may share my official sona one day when I'm more established here.

I enjoy a lot of older PC games like the Spy Fox series (especially Operation Ozone), the Cluefinders series, Zapper: One Wicked Cricket, the Jumpstart Games, and adaptations of movies I like such as Happy Feet, TLBT, and Ice Age 2 and 3. I still have all my old PC, GBA, and DS games from when I was younger since I refused to get rid of them, and still play them every now and then. (I did have to buy the Spy Fox games on Steam though, since I couldn't find my physical copy of Operation Ozone). I'm old school haha.

I guess that's about it for me for now? :bolt

Spy Fox
Cluefinders

Eyy, I was totally into those games when I was younger too! Humongous Entertainment and the Learning Company had stellar products, I think I played every series those studios released.

Back in the day Steam had a "Humongous Bundle" where you could get all the Spy Fox, Putt Putt, Pajama Sam and Freddi Fish games for $50, i hella bought that shizz and replayed them all, it was awesome. But what i didn't know was that they would keep adding games to the bundle which would get grandfathered into my account, so now I own like their library (except the Backyard series, holding out hope they add it one day!)

I gotta ask, did you have a favorite Cluefinder? I was always partial to Owen myself ^_^

Anyway welcome to the forum! Great OC, did you write them a page on the wiki's OC section? Its a great place to go into more depth on their character and use any assets you've created, like that awesome picture :D

Hello. It's nice to see another artist in the gof. The art looks promising and I would like to see more.

I would say Joni is my favorite of the group, though I do like all four characters too.

Huh, I didn't know that existed. I'll think about it, since I've given her a bit of lore/story on her toyhouse profile so far. (Although the art isn't mine, I commissioned it from an artist I follow on twitter and deviantart.)

Hopefully I can provide some actually examples soon heh. The art there is just a ref sheet I commissioned.

I do also have an additional art piece of Freckles that I commissioned, now. It's set during TLBT13 during the "yellow belly dance" scene.


I'm hoping to draw her myself often when my motivation returns, given the only time I've drawn her was 15 years ago now.
