A #vgencomm I did for @yukitrooper.bsky.social for their Cain character! She was very fun to draw, I was particularly happy with how her pants came out.

An oni PC recalibrated to fit an all human setting. I'm also very fond of her little hair horns.

A dark-skinned woman with Japanese delinquent vibes wearing an off the shoulder crop top, baggy pants, and an orange sash as a belt. She's holding a baseball and baseball bat as weapons.

Oh I guess I don't get pinged in the post if I don't have a bsky linked to my vgen XD But I made verfied artist too! ❤️ Somewhat unrelated, here's an art attack I did of a grumpy gnoll

Busy end of the month... still need to do my art fight profile 😩

Asticon | Comms Open @asticon.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

A little more stiff than I wanted but also didn't want to spend forever on this. Wings are fun- I should do an actual study on them instead of just using vibes lol

Asticon | Comms Open @asticon.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Got a chance to remind myself how much a pain it is drawing ruffles 😆 Though it would be nice to get really good at it, they are very pretty #art

Asticon | Comms Open @asticon.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I'll have to practice backgrounds eventually as opposed to just using my art program clip art, but it's just so handy (￣▽￣*)ゞ

I've been absolutely obsessed with Esoteric Ebb recently, so been working on an Ettir piece. She's so cool- love her angel design and story. Here's a WIP!

Behold- a kitsune! The pose shifted after I made a reference but I am pretty happy how this turned out He's the dad of one of my other characters, though it's in his younger years where he has less shirt on lol.

A sly looking kitsune man with red markings on his face and chest. Four tails are visible, but he has five tails in total.

Have a wip, I just felt like drawing a pretty boy but hands are difficult 😔

Asticon | Comms Open @asticon.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Here's a #kaijune post! Probably not going to do the whole month, but I'll be making monster pics occasionally at least :3 Think I'm gonna use the opportunity to flesh out some world building for one of my things... might post that later too. #art

Text: Shell

Asticon | Comms Open @asticon.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Here's another comm I did for a character that picked up something they maybe shouldn't have... (I'm quite fond of how the gem horns came out.) #dnd #art #dragonborn

A dragonborn stands with on of his gloves held in his left hand. His scales are magenta with the exception of a small patch near his head that is still the original purple. His shadow behind him shows signs of not being his, alluding to the ancient dragon's voice that sits in his head now.

Art I made for the May #VGenChallenge , "Paws" I had the thumbnail for this done a while ago, but the end of the month really snuck up on me... Believe it or not, this is another AU of my blorbos 😂 #VGen #werewolf #art

A nobleman holds the large paw of what appears to be a massive dog. There's raw skin around her neck where a chain used to sit, but she's free now! The moon shines brightly on the pair's escape from captivity, the both changed but hopefully for the better.

#mermay part 19, another comm, another manatee! I think I'll have to admit I'm not making the full 31 posts, but I've still been drawing daily and almost 2/3s the days aren't bad Fun fact: a few manatees have been recorded traveling as far up as Massachusetts. #mermaid #art

A space themed manatee mermaid waves cheerfully at you. She has space buns and is wearing a bikini. Art was for Mana Tee the vtuber!

Been busy with a trip and comms, but finally made it back. Character comm for a #dnd pirate warlock- drawing older faces is actually pretty fun, even if the rest of him fought me the entire way lol #art

None of my wips are nice enough to post atm imo, so here you can have a meme I made for me and my friend's character. I have a bunch of silly doodles of these guys. It's a redraw of this comic I saw on reddit a long while ago #art #meme

1st panel Text: "Benefits of my eyes? Aside from many other things, my gaze is heavily obscured." (Said by man with glowing magic in place of actual eyeballs

2nd panel: the joke is that it's not the direction of the pupils that show off his gaze, but rather his body language points to what he's looking at very directly.

#mermay part 18, another comm! A vibrant rainbow betta-fish based mersona made for Hubertbloombow on twitter Fun fact: male bettafish make bubble nests in order to protect their eggs until they hatch.

A rainbow patterned merman with rainbow hair wearing a net bag holding a few shells, a skull, a bone, and a few coins.

#mermay part 17... an orca It looks like at some point I'm going to make a mad sprint towards making multiple #mermaid drawings to catch up 😆 Fun fact: Orcas have been recorded to opportunistically predate on moose #art

Vaguely oc based orca mermaid just poting up with a trident and a shield.

#mermay day 16... I don't really have a prompt list anymore 😆 Did something quick to warm up. Figured I should do one with the OG #mermaid though: the manatee, an adorable floating potato Fun fact: During the winter, manatees migrate to warm waters such as power plant discharge areas. #art

A manatee and a manatee mermaid float around together. The mermaid has a basket of random mollusks (and a starfish)

Been busy trying to deal with apartment hunting so the drawing has gone a bit by the wayside Though here's a token I made for a dnd npc... trying to set up something for my friends but getting my motivation to do the proper table prep has been brutal. I really like this little guy though #dnd

#mermay day 15, pearl My prompt list only had 16 entries since it was skipping weekends, so I'm almost down to just indulgently turn more ocs into pretty fish people 😆 Fun fact: While all shelled mollusks can make "pearls," the ones farmed are from pearl mussels and pearl oysters. #art #mermaid

I gotta catch up on my #mermay postings... Day 14 I... didn't want to draw my prompt so I drew a young Celestia seapony instead XD Fun fact: the slowest moving fish in the world is the dwarf seahorse which can move at a blistering 5ft (1.5m) per hour. #art #mlp #seapony

A young Celestia if she utilized the seapony spell
She's such a lovely light shade of pink

Gonna have a double post later today to catch up a bit! #mermay day 12, swamp A lovely comm I did on vgen, was pretty fun Fun fact: The bowfin is a freshwater fish that can breathe air and water and thus has an advantage in low oxygen habitats. #art #merman

I did my mermay drawing yesterday, I promise... It's just a comm so I'm waiting for review before posting the final result ^^; Here's a different comm I did for @yukitrooper.bsky.social for her #Lancer pilot! I had a lot of fun drawing "robot cat Goblin mech suit"

A lilac cat in a blue jumpsuit pilots a cat shaped Goblin mech from Lancer. It's covered in glowing pink antennas and is otherwise a gunmetal grey color. Two gems are imbedded in the head as they're definitely magical rocks that help with all the cool space stuff going on.

Decided to do a 3d pose thing on twitter for #mermay day 11, doll- Hatsune Miku is close enough, right? Have a mer-miku! (I was very fond of that pun) Fun fact: The bottlenose dolphin can swim at speeds up to 22mph or 35 km/hr #art #mermaid

Mermaid Hatsune Miku gives you a little heart sign.

#mermay day 10, love ❤️ Hana and her fiancé Antaeus as merfolk- not sure it's exactly how I wanted it, but better than not existing at all! Maybe next year I can redo it. Fun fact: tiger sharks, and their close relatives hammerhead and requiem sharks, give birth to live young. #art #mermaid

Merfolk hug merfolk hug
A large mermaid hugs her lover close to her chest, their tails curling together to make a little heart shape. They're resting on some rocks underwater.

Took a break from mermay yesterday to finish up a comm, and also because the idea I had for the next mermay prompt is something I wanna put more work into to make sure it turns out good ( ´ ▿ ` ) Here's the comm I did for @aura-gm.bsky.social though!

Slippy Jimmy finally gets a full character design to elevate him from NPC cultist mook token. And he gets to show off his rat buddy too.

A man with greying blonde hair in black priests robes with red accents. A picture locket hangs around his neck, and a rat is held in one hand as the other waves a bit awkwardly

#mermay day 9, star There was something for starfish, but I was busy doing finals stuff today so something more doodle-y Unfortunately, space whales aren't real so I don't have any cool facts 😔 #art #mermaid

Big pink space whale mermaid holds onto a planet, perhaps bringing into existence?

#mermay day 7, Jellyfish! Got a whole week's worth of drawing in ☆ ～('▽^人) Fun fact: some jellyfish have been found to heal damage to themselves in a process called "symmetrization," where body parts are physically rearranged to recover radial symmetry. #art #mermaid

Big pink jellyfish floating around, loosely based off of a Japanese sea nettle. It was hard finding pink jellyfish pictures that had their species name, so it's sort of a composite since I had an idea of a dress shaped central tentacle...

#mermay day 6, Koi! I had a bunch of fun with this one, though it got me in the mood for wanting to draw more koi fish. Fun fact: The largest recorded ornamental koi was measured at about 90lbs (40kg) and 4ft (1.2m) in 2007, named "Big Girl" #art #mermaid

#mermay day 4, prompt: spiral This one is a bit of a stretch tbh, golden week->spiral A lazy bg too since I was running out of time, but I do like the character Fun nautilus fact: fossil records indicate that nautiloids have mostly stayed unchanged for the past 500 million years #art #mermaid
