The website is undergoing on an update, check out the creator's social media for updates and more.About the Update:We will be creating a new set of characters, replacing some with new ones.

Artsy the Dog
stay creative!
the leader of the happy critters. earning the role for her compassion towards others and helping those in need, though she's mostly known for her unforgettable shy demeanor and soft-spoken tone. Artsy's specialty is digital art, her art helper's name is Pablo. Together, they teach the audience the wonders of technology within the art community.
Artsy's voice is known to be very soft, shy and warm. her voice is around the mid-range in tone. she has no accent! her personality/nature is a mix between fluttershy (MLP gen 6) and Bob Ross
(blushes and smiles warmly) "hello.. Welcome to the world of imagination, happy artist. M-My name is Artsy, i am the digital artist of this world." (tone transitions to a warmer, loving tone) "..i can tell you and i will be the best of friends. take my paw, happy artist.. the others a-are very excited to m-meet you!"
(soft-spoken, a bit melancholic from nostalgia) "w-when i was a little pup, i didn't know what my life's purpose would be.. (her voice transitions from melancholic to happy- yet still soft) until one day: mama bought me a drawing tablet.. th-that's when my life changed forever, a-and with that: i found m-my destiny! now i share my love of art with those around me, spreading joy w-with my work.. i found my destiny, and i'm sure y-you'll find yours, too! i believe in that.
Crafty the Lamb
with just sticks, glitter, stickers and glue: i can create anything!
the youngest happy critter in the world of imagination. this curious, silly lamb who looks up to the older critters (hence her name) loves to craft! everything she finds she loves to turn it into something new. whether they're a pile of leaves, or cotton from the cotton clouds!
Crafty is a pacifist, a sweetheart to everyone no matter how cold they can be- she always finds a way to warm their hearts with her compassion, empathy, generosity and kindness.
she is caring for everyone around her no matter the day, time or place. when she isn't crafting things, you will find Crafty helping or hanging out with other critters in the world of imagination.
Crafty's voice is known to be very high-pitch, bubbly and sweet. having a child voice due to her age (she's 6 years old)
(cheerful) "a new friend to play with? yipee!" (giggles before talking sweetly) "hi new friend! don't be shy, i don't bite! my name is Crafty. it's a pleasure to meet you- and welcome to the world of imagination: where your creativity runs free! come, take my hoof! let's explore this magical world with me!"
(licks crayon) "have you ever wondered what would it be like if crayons had taste? i imagine yellow tasting like a banana, red as cherry- pink as cotton candy! blue as blue rasperry and so on! pink would definitely be my favorite- i LOVE sweets! what would your favorite be?" (pauses before speaking excitedly) "really?! wow! great choice! if crayons had taste, i would love to try that one!"
(in a caring, wholesome fashion) "you're my bestest friend, my bestest friend in the whooooole wide world! Crafty will always be here for you, forever and ever!" (giggles)
meet world of imagination's greatest theatre director: antoine poodle!
this prideful gentleman is a perfectionist at best, if this snooty dog's plays are not "perfect" he throws the biggest fits of rage. this strict canine always makes sure every play he directs is exactly how he wants them. he is the leader of the bittersweet sonata. while he may be tough on the outside, he does have a soft spot for stuffed animals and has a secret plushie collection in his room.
his design is based off of the famous musical "the phantom of the opera"
the voice we're looking for him is exactly like this Erik from the musical: 'The Phantom of The Opera' | The Phantom Of The Opera - YouTube
(snooty, prideful tone) "Alas! there is no world without theatre. my majestic plays are one of a kind, perfect just as i want them to be."
(begins to grow angry) "no no NO!" (begins to throw a fit of anger) "THIS IS ALL WRONG! ALL WRONG! again! we are doing this AGAIN until it's perfect!"
(grows cocky, snooty tone) "tsk! perfect leadership is about dictating properly. making sure all of it is right! if nothing is right, all will fail, and i, Antoine: am NOT a failure! i am perfect, my works are perfect! all must be as perfect as me!"
Lights, camera, ACTION! Elphie is the most chaotically silly of the bittersweet sonata
always having a trick up her sleeve to make her cinematic films the most craziest things you've ever seen.
when she isn't working on her movies, Elphie is seen playing on her mountain sized confetti strings,
drinking her famous fruit punch with her friends.
personality: she's VERY bubbly and VERY energetic (as much as pinkie pie- but making sound effects with her mouth in the mix)
she also has a tic where she makes a "click" sound with her mouth
voice claim
she would sound exactly like young muriel from courage the cowardly dog (including the accent)
young muriel: Courage and Little Muriel Scenes - YouTube
"lights, camera, ACTION! time to shine, happy artist, time to shine! (makes camera flash sound effects with mouth and flaps her wings) oh! hi, hi, hi! i'm elphie the bat! i know, a bat- a (imitates "Dracula") "bleh-bleh-BLEH! i'm going to suck-a your red!" (blows raspberry and laughs) no worries, i got red at home- (makes a click sound with mouth) red velvet, red cookies, red curtains and paper- OH! we have to get a move on, the show's about to start! we'll talk more later, ok? oki-doke, poke! (makes a click sound with mouth) let's get this show on the road- through the eyes of the world and the stars above!"
(sounding rushed) "we gotta go, we gotta *click* go! where's my latte? where's the *click* makeup artist?! WE'RE GOING TO SHOOT IN 10 MINUTES!" (she then begins to make siren noises with her mouth)
(sounding relaxed in her pile of confetti strings, drinking latte) "aaah... this is the life! nice hot *click* latte, lying in my nest of *click* confetti strings.. artists need their breaks- especially after a hard day's *click* work, ya know!"
one, two three and pirouette! meet pavlova, a russian ballerina who determines herself to become to most graceful artist in the world of imagination, wanting all of the love and praise to her own ego.
one of the oldest members of the bittersweet sonata. when pavlova isn't practicing or performing her ballet, she is seen drinking tea on her favorite swing. (without getting dirty, she hates filth!) she is confident, full of grace, sass and posh.
pavlova's voice claim is zarya from overwatch, but more higher in pitch and elegant in tone.
(tone: confident, proud yet snooty) "silly artists, they think they can compare their grace with mine! no such thing. i am not definition of grace- i AM grace, i am perfection, i am one of a kind- no one can dance like me! not a soul in the world!"
(grossed out from her slippers getting dirty from mud, sounding disgusted and irritated) "EW! disgusting! my ballet slippers- are filthy, they are imperfect! this won't do, not at all! get these out of my sight, i am in need of new ones immediately. i cannot be seen without my graceful ballet slippers! a ballerina like myself must be clean and proper!" (she huffs and looks away with a posh-like attitude) "..being covered in filth such as this.. is not lady-like!"
(she sits on her swing, drinking tea, sounding calm) "that poodle.. he was right! tea does soothe my soul.. i should drink more of this, it could calm me after a long day of ballet practice.."
Meet Magdalene, the most solemn artist in the world of imagination. This secretary bird's heart belongs in the choir, singing her heart to the world. When Magdalene isn't in choir, she is seen in her garden, being one with the flowers she takes good care of. she's the quiet, and most reserved member of the bittersweet sonata.
Magdalene's voice claim is Cinderella (voiced by Ilene Woods) but somber. (requires singing)
Ilene Wood's Cinderella: https://youtu.be/oB5rls8qoiY?si=5ruPRf0LJK0-svIy
(humming "elliott's theme" from stardew valley before looking at the distance, looking somber yet hopeful) "i do wish for the world to hear the chords of my heart, the longing for peace my soul desires.."
(she sighs from annoyance due to elphie's energy) "elphie, please..! i understand your excitement for your next movie premiere, but may you please keep it down...?"
(Magdalene sees you, and looms over you- her voice soft and somber) "my name is Magdalene.. i've heard so much about you, happy artist. you seem to be rather lost.. and i don't just mean in the literal sense." (mini-pause) "come.." (she smiles a bit) "let us ease our minds in the Everfree garden, my place of solice.. the flowers will be happy to meet you."
mail's here! introducing mailseal larry, a jolly and kind fella who loves his job. following the footsteps of his late father mailseal henry, larry is seen flying around on his plane spreading joy in the world of imagination with each letter he sends. (he loves blueberry doughnuts)
his voice claim: maurice (belle's father) from (1991) d-sney's beauty and the beast
(but larry's pitch would be be a bit on the lower side)
(cheery tone) "from the heart of the sky, to the embrace of home- all letters will be received, smiles guaranteed!"
(friendly, softer tone) "each day i make sure my post office is squeaky clean before anyone walks through that door, you know what they say: neat presentation makes good impression!"
(giggles) "ho ho ho! me late? never! no matter the time or weather, i always make sure each letter and package is delivered on time!" (mini pause, voice sounding more normal to add comedic effect) "...without dents- nobody wants dents."
this poetic yet grumpy mouse loves to spend time in his mouse cave aspiring to create the most flawless poetry in the world. when Lewis isn't spending time writing poetry, he's seen admiring cheese (he considers himself a cheese connoisseur) he gets irritated if one doesn't hold his poetry with care. he is the shortest member of the bittersweet sonata.
his voice claim is cogsworth from 1991's d-sney's beauty and the beast (but lewis' voice is deeper in pitch) Beauty and the Beast 3D - Cogsworth Gives Belle a Tour of the Castle (Reupload)
(he sneers and looks at you with annoyance) "and what on earth are YOU doing in MY mouse hole? this is a place only for me to enter, my sanctuary, MY place of work! you better not be snooping to steal my poetry.. "
(he inspects some cheese, impressed with what he is seeing) "hmm.. lovely shade of yellow, soft, squishy texture.." (he takes a bite and inspects the taste, and with his mouth full, he says..) "..nice sharpness to it, too! excellent quality of cheese, i will now claim this as my dinner."
(in a proud tone, he shows off his poet) "impressed by my work? no surprise there! my art is of pure excellence, flawless even!" (he pauses then looks at you worried) "..you didn't stain the paper with dirty hands, did you?" (his tone grows slightly irritated) "..i hope not.."
