FAQ

Q. When did you start creating art?

A. I started creating art when I was very young (around 2010), and most of it was fan art based on books or media. On social media, I went by the name “Whipped Cream Milk” from 2017 to 2020, and I’ve been using the name “YonderMoon” since 2024!

Q. Do you draw professionally?

A. No, my major isn’t in the arts. All my social media activities, including my original character projects and website, are just hobbies.

Q. What programs or tools do you use for your work?

A. I create all my illustrations on my smartphone using IbisPaint Premium, and for animations, I use IbisPaint Premium and the free version of Flipaclip. I also create videos using KineMaster. For coding, I rely on online searches or Claude, and I edit code in Notepad. For music (though I don’t make much these days), I use BandLab.

Q. What does your schedule look like over the course of a year?

A. January–February and July–August are school breaks, so I have relatively more free time. The rest of the year is spent on schoolwork, and I’m especially busy in April, June, October, and December because of exams. Additionally, my project activity may seem slow or limited at times due to health or other personal circumstances.

Q. Can I save or share your work for personal use?

A. You are free to save my work for your personal use or to use it as a profile picture or background image. Please share it only for reasonable and non-harmful purposes, and please refrain from directly uploading files to public social media platforms whenever possible. If you’d like to showcase my work, I recommend linking to the original source. Please be sure to credit the source.

Q. Can I re-upload the artwork as long as I credit the source?

A. Regardless of whether you credit the source, please make sure to get my permission in advance before re-uploading. Additionally, please do not upload my work to Pinterest or Danbooru (due to the risk of it being used to train AI models).

Q. Can I draw fan art or create fanworks?

A. Yes!! I really welcome it! I’d be so happy to see your fanworks. You can send them to me privately, or post them on social media with the appropriate tags.

Q. Do you accept commissions?

A. You can request commissions through VGen, Ko-fi, and Crepe! Depending on my schedule, I may or may not be able to accept a request, but you can also make a reservation.
(I’m sorry, but I do not accept private commission requests. Please submit requests only through the platforms I’ve specified.)

Q. How should I contact you?

A. Please use email for official inquiries. For casual inquiries, please contact me via Discord or Strawpage, and I’ll respond. (If you contact me via email for non-official purposes, I will not reply.)

Q. How did you come to create your original characters and world?

A. After getting online in 2016, I discovered games like 『Geometry Dash』 and began creating original characters. Starting in 2018, I began developing backstories for the characters I’d created, which led to the emergence of a world concept. Then, beginning in 2019, I focused on IDET to build a more structured world.

Q. Are there any recurring themes or motifs in your work?

A. I love natural phenomena, the concepts and principles of the world, and science, so these themes appear frequently. I think these elements are particularly prominent in IDET!

Q. Do you ever change or remake character backstories?

A. Yes. Since there are parts of the backgrounds that are vague or contain errors—ranging from characters I created a very long time ago to those I’m creating now—I’m constantly remaking and updating them. However, if there are discrepancies between past and current backstories, please consider the latest version listed on Toyhouse as the official one.

Q. Are all the illustrations you draw officially canon?

A. Rather than relying on illustrations, please refer to the worlds page or character profiles for official canon. Since the illustrations I draw are based on the canon described there, some of them are just memes or jokes.

Q. Where do you usually get your ideas?

A. As I go about my daily life, I come across various interesting natural elements and learn about animals and plants. Alternatively, ideas naturally come to me as I refine the details of my existing original characters. (It feels like expanding the world.)

Q. What are your favorite creative works or themes?

A. My world is inspired by media such as 『Touhou Project』, 『Minecraft』, 『Geometry Dash』, and 『Cookie Run』. Artists who have inspired me include a_hisa, ZUN, and Pyohato.

Q. There are no character profiles or World pages on the website.

A. The (many)character profiles and World pages are not currently available on the website. This is because it takes time to create full-body portraits and write bios for each character, so they aren’t all finished yet. For various reasons, it’s also been difficult to write the World pages, so please check Toyhouse for all of that information at this time.

Q. Where can I view character profiles?

A. Currently, characters on Toyhouse whose full-body portraits and bios are both complete are publicly available. Characters with only their full-body portraits complete can be viewed after logging in, and characters with only their bios complete can be viewed after receiving separate authorization from me. Additionally, you can view character information via a separate Notion document (written in Korean).

Q. Where can I view the world setting?

A. The current world settings include ID Universe, IDequinosterriai(IDET), Angel&Demon World, and Luiio; of these, the first two have completed documents. You can view them on Toyhouse, and specifically, the species descriptions are also available on the website.

Q. Who is the mascot?

A. Among my original characters, the mascot is Durjur. She’s the blue-haired demon girl on my social media profile! Durjur is sometimes accompanied by Zio, Eka, Puno, Roy, and Carl&Mini.
And this is my sona. Since she represents me personally (i.e., she’s not a fictional character), I only use her when I’m directly involved.

Q. What is your stance on AI training and AI-generated content?

A. As an artist, I publicly oppose AI; however, that doesn’t mean I think creators should be completely barred from using currently available AI. I don’t want to see situations where copyright is infringed upon without the creator’s consent during the AI training process, where content is used commercially, or where AI-generated output indiscriminately replaces art. I also believe it’s important to disclose when AI has been used. However, I believe the source of the training data, the training process, and the creator’s rights must all be taken into account during the creation process.
Also, please do not use my work to train AI. It would dampen my creative drive and make me truly sad… Please respect artists.

FAQ about worlds

Q. Where is IDET located? What is the human world?

A. Both IDET and the human world are on Earth. IDET is a hidden island of unknown location on Earth, and the human world refers to all areas except that island. Furthermore, humans are unaware that IDET exists on Earth.

Q. Are there humans on IDET?

A. No, there aren’t. However, a species resembling humans is sometimes created artificially on IDET. Also, while all my original characters take humanoid form, this is solely for the sake of convenience and immersion—none of them are actually human, except for Puno!

Q. Is the human world real?

A. It’s a fictional world inspired by reality. Its structure is similar to the real-world 21st century. However, you can treat it as identical to reality without any major issues in understanding the story.

Q. How old are the Naturers?

A. Since Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, some of the older beings are likely of comparable age. It varies by individual.

Q. Wars are mentioned—what exactly are they?

A. The wars refer to the “Crimson Moon War” that occurred in IDET and the war between angels, demons, and aliens that took place in the Angel&Demon World.
The Crimson Moon War was instigated by Lunatic and is divided into the First and Second Wars. It is the reason he was sealed away and also the reason the Vice and the Anima came into being.
These Anima have spread throughout the universe and are influencing the Angel&Demon World as well; this is part of the war taking place there.

Q. Are good and evil clearly distinguished in the story?

A. While there are characters who clearly play the role of villains, the lines are still somewhat blurred in many ways. Characters classified as villains include Lunatic, all of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Vices, the Anima, and Kray and Quartie.

Q. Why did ID create the world?

A. It is ID’s will.
