Art is supposed to be something that makes you feel good, remember? ;3
I generally don't request things from my dudes but rather cheer them on to do what they enjoy personally the most. If any of them decides on their own that they'd like to draw Shiny alongside their characters, feeling the happy Totodile would fit their visions, it let's me know that they truly were into the idea and got the most of joy out of it. Do everything that brings you joy, Seb. Your happiness counts the most for me here. 🌈☂(-^.=.^-)

Everyone needs a break every once and a while

And I know how you feel, it takes some time getting used to the Mud and Quicksand Fetish

It's not something that disturb me, but It might be better to balance each themes

That is true
