    helpful threads    

I post whatever I feel like and sometimes it ends up being helpful so I compiled a few of these helpful threads below! (This section is scrollable!)

let the sea of dreams float me away on the raft of my bed, far into a starlit ocean where imagination comes to life at it’s shore. where blue roses bloom by my bedside and sprout on my mattress, and i wait for the prince of daylight to rescue me.

    introduction     Stellutations, I'm Ukiyo! I'm a very slow artist with around a hundred original characters! I really love to support other artists & help others when I'm not busy! I commission a lot of art of my characters who are like friends & family to me, work on my sites, write for my original characters, create assets, cover songs, write poetry and wear lolita fashion! (I have a lot of hobbies!) I am super, super passionate about art in particular and have a reputation of being able to write giant social media threads (I'm sorry)..!

I try to be my true self and many of my posts may be about my own self-discovery, development or feelings! I use the internet to archive my experiences or thoughts. Thank you for checking out my website and please, don't be afraid to interact with me. I know what it's like to feel left out, so I hope that I make you feel welcome!

    live tv    

If I'm live it'll show up above!

    my personas    

If you're around me you'll see my personas a lot! Ukiyo is the one with darker hair and Kyo is the one with lighter hair. Ukiyo was designed by me while Kyo was designed by my mutual! I use them both to explore my relationship with myself, such as love, trust and taking care of myself. They've helped me through many difficult times, so I try to spoil them with art.

    message     I treasure my mutuals/followers! Please don't ever worry if you become inactive or don't talk to me as I believe we can always pick up where we left off! I think that's how the strongest friendships can be made. I don't forget my positive interactions or when someone has helped me. Just please make sure you're taking care of yourself first and foremost; and if you wanted to chat or needed help with something feel free to direct message me! I'll try my best to get to it though I might take a while to reply!Thank you to all my mutuals/followers who've been supporting me for so long, the artists who've drawn my characters, and the people who have listened to me talk! If you're reading this I hope you have a spacetacular day! (While we're at it, an amazing life as well.. and it still applies even if you're not reading this!)

Announcements

If there is anything I'd want to be in this world; it would have to be myself. It's something no one else can be..

no matter what we are, we're always ourselves aren't we?

Boundaries.

Everyone deserves a space that feels safe to them; we all only live one life after all. For some of us, that space fits inside our pocket!

we all should have our own little sanctuaries.

VERY IMPORTANT! I may reply late to messages/replies or miss them, in which case feel free to just message me again especially if it's important.I have both ADHD and RSI, meaning I forget to reply to things while simultaneously having pain in my hands that I need to rest for long periods of times. There is a good chance I see your reply or message but cannot respond due to my hands or having a low social battery. I try to bookmark or keep a mental note to come back to it once I can respond. But if I forget please do remind me! It is inevitable that sometimes I will.

I am a physical, emotional and sexual abuse survivor & have PTSD. I have an aversion to NSFW as it triggers memories or feelings associated with trauma. This might mean if you're a NSFW account I'll very likely limit my interaction with you.I may mute/block people on my DNI. Please don't take it personally, it is for the sake of my own health & trying to curate a safe environment for myself! You don't need to block me first, I'll look through & determine myself if I'll be okay around your account.I'm also prone to overcommitting, there's a chance I might say I'll do something then forget about it; this is something I'm working on since I can have pretty scattered memory with my ADHD. I apologise if you've experienced this from me! Time always feels like it's moving fast and it's hard to keep up. There's so much I want to do.Thank you for understanding.

lace pixel dividers

I created the dividers on my website! They are completely free to use and come in 38 different colours.

More assets will be created in the future!

If you have your own website and you are a mutual of mine feel free to let me know! I may be able to make you your own site stamp if you don't have one already!

Myself.

I may not be a human being, but I love; I live, I feel and grow like one. Is there anything wrong with being different?

i'll find people who love me no matter what i am.

the goddess created their creations in their own likeness; that is to say, the goddess created themselves in their own image. could a creator truly be their own creation? am i.. one of them?

    about me     I am mostly called Uki, but some people call me Kiyo or Kyo! I've been drawing and singing ever since I learnt how to do them! I pick up a lot of hobbies and try a lot of different things. I have multiple personas and always thread parts of myself into all of my characters. To me they are my friends, not just my children! It feels like they have written themselves and I'm just someone learning & documenting them.I want to do my best bettering the world as much as I can, although I know I'm only one person; as well as learn more new things about myself! I love helping others and aspire to be a genuine person who is loved for being themselves! If I'm able to, I want to also inspire others to love and be themselves as well!

At times I see myself as an original character that I myself have wrote; able to go through character arcs and character development. So on this page, I may write myself like how I would for a one of my character's profiles. I think that would be interesting!

I have two personas, one is called Ukiyo and another is called Kyo! They are two separate characters that represent two halves of me. I also have my third persona Novella who represents me as a combined, singular person. My personas are a big part of myself! I use them as a way to be self-aware of my self-love.

    personality     Always passionate and excited about their hobbies or what they love, with their head often in the stars. Has problems with loneliness as they often reflect on themselves and their experiences, losing sight of what and who is directly in front of them. Is very whimsical and sentimental, trying to find a metaphor in everything. Loves helping others and lending an ear, but has a tendency to go too far and stretch themselves thin, forgetting to also take care of themselves. Has a very hard time relying on others.

    my account(s) & online presence     I don't like to brand myself as a support account (I am NOT a support account I'm just a silly guy on the internet).. honestly, it's a bit confusing how I grew as much as I did online! I think it was because I stayed true to myself and help people I care about where I can! Often I'm told people like my positive attitude, passion and kindness.. (but I ramble so much about troubling things in my life & consider myself such a melancholic person too). I'm not sure! People come and go, but some people stay; and if they do I want them to feel welcome! If you couldn't tell, I also ramble a lot online! I attribute this to there being not so many opportunities for me to speak offline, so I sort of let it all out into the void.Overall, I don't like any idol culture (surrounding myself) and prefer any connections to be potential friendships (or at least mutually positive acquaintances)! I don't like calling art that's gifted to me "fan art" for the insinuation that the person who drew it for me is "a fan" (I call it "gift art" instead). I don't want my enjoyment online to be tied to my numbers, and although I have many hobbies I try not to pressure myself to churn out content to post! I very much try to lead by example when it comes to taking care of myself in an online space. I also try to reply as much as I can to comments to repay the effort that was put into interacting with me!

I treat my account as if I'm still small, trying not to worry about what I post or seem perfect (and I'm a perfectionist, so it can be difficult for me). I'm aware if not for my size or perceived usefulness many people would abandon me, but I welcome the abandonment in the hopes it'll only make the people who truly care more visible! I know I won't be liked by everyone, but for the people that do like me, interact with me and give me a chance.. I want to be there for them as best as I can be. I'm also open about making mistakes and learning from them (for myself and for others)!

TLDR, I don't take existing on the internet too seriously! I just want to make positive connections and be around like-minded people. I want to share what I'm passionate about, ramble endlessly and try my best expressing my true self.

TRIVIA ABOUT ME

    my ambitions     Some of my ambitions.. work in progress!

Artworks.

Each person is both an artwork and an artist; crafted by the feelings and memories we paint on eachother.

your own canvas is unique and beautiful.

process

I take my commissions through my VGen, which you can click here to go to. You can also check the status of my commissions on VGen (whether they are open or closed).

rights

All artworks have personal use, and can be used by the commissioner on social platforms or shared with credit. Commercial use depends on the commission, please check on VGen.

i do not draw

I am weak at drawing elderly characters, characters with muscular builds, pants, shoes and complex poses.

payment

Payment is through VGen which means with PayPal or credit card. If there should be any problems with VGen payment can be done through Ko-fi.

editing

Artworks can have minor edits, such as cropping or filters for colour changes. If there is a mistake on the artwork, please reach out and I will fix it for you. I keep all files of previous commissions.

i do draw

I excel at drawing dresses, ribbons, detailed eyes, in vibrant colours, details in general (no wonder I'm a slow artist).

terms of service

character reference sheet

TBD

This reference sheet I made for my character is my magnum opus at the moment. I need more practice before ever considering opening commissions for it, but I'm super proud of it!

character illustration

TBD

Unfortunately I haven't been able to draw my non-pixel style recently due to my RSI, but this is an old example! They're very fun to draw though, and maybe one day I can do commissions for them!

pixel webcore ych

$50 USD (BASE PRICE)

This YCH allows space for aesthetics that fit your character to be shown! I find this works really cute as website decor, though I've found some clients also use it as a Twitch panel!

pixel icon ych

$15 USD (ANIMATION INCLUDED)

I wanted to solve this issue I had of wanting a cute & affordable animated profile photo for Toyhouse and Discord, this was my solution! The animation is customisable and included in the price!

pixel chibi sprite

$10 USD (BASE PRICE)

Cute little pixel sprites that can be animated to bob up & down! All details will be simplified, but I try my best to make every character recognisable!

pixel item sprites/badges

TBD

I'm very new to creating item sprites but I'm very proud of the ones I've currently made! I hope I will be able to open commissions for them in the future!

logo/watermark

TBD

I've created logos/watermarks before and something I always love to do is put sparkles in the letters.. it's been a while since I've made any so I may be a bit rusty!

pixel eye banner

TBD

Something very new I tried, an animated pixel eye banner! Currently trying to make more examples before I open commissions for these so that I'm more comfortable.

Questions.

Each person is both an artwork and an artist; crafted by the feelings and memories we paint on eachother.

your own canvas is unique and beautiful.

    Q1.     is it okay to tag you in my work to bump it?

Yes, as long as it's safe for work and doesn't make me uncomfortable. I'd gladly retweet/repost or bump it. We also don't have to be mutuals but if you're not following me I most likely won't bump or retweet it. I can help retweet your posts when you open commissions or important tweets too such as ones trying to spread awareness about an art scammer or thief. I've conducted research on matters concerning both and can also help you compose a thread for them if you're not sure where to start. If you wanted me to post about something that requires more awareness please feel free to message me as I want to use my platform for good!

    Q8.     will you commission me or promote me?

I don't commission anyone who just asks me to commission them! I have a (private) list of artists I'd like to commission one day and like to spend my money how I'd like. Of course you can recommend yourself, but if you're only around me to try earn my money or business I suggest you look elsewhere as I'd rather be seen as a human than just a customer. I'd like to be around people who are genuinely interested in me and my own creations as well! I am my own person who needs to spend money on necessities. I can help spread awareness of your commissions being open by retweeting, but obviously I can't just commission anyone and everyone.

    Q5.     what coders would you recommend on toyhouse?

I have a favourite folder on Toyhouse with codes I'd recommend checking out right here! I would definitely recommend vicodes if you're looking for detailed codes that come with CSS! Most of his codes are pay to use though!If you need any help with Toyhouse feel free to message me, I know basic coding and can even edit profiles slightly if they need adjusting!

    Q7.     why are you following so many people?

I simply don't want anyone to feel left out! I've felt an awkward air between me and people who don't follow me back.. but if I'm following someone problematic please do let me know! I'm following a lot of people so it's difficult for me to know or check when this occurs. I also want to make lots of friends rather than fans! I'd take friends over fans any day, and desire a stronger connection to others than just.. someone being a fan of me.I love following others because it might give them a sense of security around me and make them less scared of me (I've had others say because of the size of my account and how I type, I seem intimidating at first). I don't think I'm actually that intimidating at all though and want others to feel safe around me!

    Q10.     can i message you for help with something?

Yes you may, but please know I may not be able to help depending on the subject. Here are a list of things I can probably help with though!Questions on how to use Toyhouse/Twitter/Bluesky/Carrd/VGen, website creation (including HTML & CSS), tips on starting/doing commissions or how to promote yourself, anything original character or design related, investigating a potential scammer/AI user, calling out/investigating art theft, looking for a trustworthy artist to commission (since I've worked with many), anything to do with my interests; or even if you need help or an opinion for something in your personal life (preferably mutuals only) I'm here!

    Q13.     can we be friends?

It's difficult for me to make friends immediately since I'm introverted, but after we get to know eachother better I'd consider it!I have a lot of longtime mutuals I would definitely consider on the level of friends, but it took time to grow to that point authentically. If you want to have a chat I don't mind though, maybe we can get closer! But for me it's hard to consider who's a friend and who's not a friend unless the other person outright tells me we are. I've also been betrayed by friends in the past which might make it hard for me to trust others.

    Q4.     are you a vtuber?

Short answer, no, I'm not. But I aspire to become one and have assets such as a VTuber model in the works. I hope you may still accept me even if I'm not a VTuber or streamer. I will definitely support VTuber mutuals though! If I do start streaming it most will likely be a hobby that I will do for fun. I love the concept of becoming your persona/character (I already do it without needing to be a VTuber) and as someone going into a game industry I would love to stream games that deserve more recognition. I would also love to foster a loving, supportive community but I know I can do that without being a streamer!

Since I am studying I do not have the free time to pursue streaming in 2024, but perhaps in 2025 I will! I think that being a VTuber that's also a writer and worldbuilder of original characters would be an interesting concept. I'm a bit introverted and it'd be a good opportunity to meet new people as well, but if I ever did start streaming I most definitely wouldn't want to leave the mutuals and friends I've already made behind. No one should feel inclined to check my streams out whenever they do happen! Since this is a future possibility my Twitch is linked at the top of this Carrd.

    Q9.     where do you buy your lolita clothes?

I shop at DevilInspired, it's an online store. They seem to have promos every so often that I would recommend waiting for so that you can get free shipping.

    Q2.     how do you write your original characters, any tips?

I always start with the design of the character as character designs can make use of "show don't tell". From communicating simple things like this character is wearing a crown, they must be royalty to more complex things like this character's eyes arch outwards to give them a wide-eyed look, they must be extraverted or a curious/excited person. There is also a rule I follow where a character with a symmetrical design would be more ordered and polite than one with an asymmetrical design, who'd be more out there and unruly; but many things in design can be up for interpretation or make use of symbolism or metaphor. For example, my persona Ukiyo's mouthlessness can be interpreted in many different ways; from fear of speaking/mutism to fear of showing others your true self (with how they hide their mouthlessness with a mask).One thing a lot of writers are concerned about are falling into clichés; but clichés aren't bad to use. It's your execution of an idea that can make it good, and clichés also leave much room to subvert expectations. (Such as making it seem like you're going to use one, but it's been flipped entirely.) Character design can communicate a lot and you can draw from it as the designer of the character or if they were an adoptable you obtained. For example, my character Amorette is meant to represent death but her personality is lively, she loves life; while Antonie who is meant to represent life has a deathly, depressing personality.When it comes to characters I always ask questions I would ask a real person since characters are meant to mimic people. What is your family like, do you get along with them? Do you work a job, how are you financially, what are your hobbies and interests? Where are you from, where do you live, who are your friends? What was your upbringing like, what shaped you to be how you are now? How do you see yourself and how to others see you?I actually made a thread on Twitter full of questions you could ask to build your original character(s) here!

chihiro

from the game danganronpa: trigger happy havoc.

Chihiro Fujisaki is a big comfort character of mine! He has the same weight, same height and same zodiac sign as me which is really cool! Not just that, but he's a boy who wears dresses/skirts just like me! I love how his character arc is about him finding how to be comfortable just the way he is. I see him as a strong character! Also I love programming, I used to help my own father with building PCs so that's another cool connection!

ren

from the game magia record.

I have a cosplay of Ren Isuzu, she is an underrated side character I related greatly to in Magia Record. Sadly Magia Record was taken off the English market (I can't play it anymore), but she impacted me as a character! Her magical girl wish was to continue living after jumping off a building. She was done with watching others fighting, but after making friends she finds her place in the world begins to love life. She loves sunshine and canonically makes all her friends homemade chocolates on Valentines! She's honestly so sweet and I'd protect her with my life.

makoto

from the game raincode.

Makoto Kagutsuchi is a good person, his character arc is him wanting to protect an entire group of people who were doomed- even if it meant performing villainous acts to get there. I love his manner of speaking and his personality as it reminds me of myself! He's a bit mischievous, but very just and speaks with a refined flair. I also think his masks and long hair are very cool looking! And he's yet another short man I relate to, he's 150cm. Did I mention purple in my favourite colour? His suit is a pretty purple.

linhardt

from the game fire emblem three houses.

I suppose you could say he stole my.. lin-HEART. I love Linhardt von Hevring! He's studious and takes plenty of naps, as well as fishes (which is usually my favourite mechanic in any game.. usually). He is a lover of freedom and a bit of a pacifist just like me, who often goes interest to interest just like me too! He even falls asleep when something disinterests him enough just like me. I also love his design so much.. if you couldn't tell at this point.. I really love men with long hair in character designs.

azura

from the game fire emblem fates.

Fire Emblem Fates was one of the first video games that resonated with me. Azura absolutely enchanted me as a character, her dancing, her story and how mysterious she was captured me. Fire Emblem Fates inspired me so much to write and build my own characters, hence when I first made my persona I named her Azura as well. The cutscenes for this game were way ahead of their time for being on a 3DS. I played every single route and had every single DLC; Azura was at the centre of the entire story. Also Azura should've been the DLC emblem in Engage, not Camilla.

vishnal

from the game rune factory 4.

Rune Factory 4 was another game from my childhood. Vishnal was there to say good morning to me everytime my player character woke up and he called me a princess. He's so sweet and silly, he's not the best chef (he's so horrible at cooking you'd think he's trying to poison you) but would try cook for you anyways. I just really love butlers too.. he's so sweet when you romance him, he'd defy everything he dreamt of doing just to simply be with you. He deserves all good things in life, I love you Vishnal. I'm sorry that I'm dating every other boy in the game at the same time (and it'd be every girl too if it let me). I swear that you're my canon end.

shirota

from the game jack jeanne.

Shirota Mitsuki has such a beautiful singing voice.. he's not the best at showing how he loves his friends, but it's completely obvious that he does. His outfits during the game are beautiful, as he often takes female roles or leads in the stage plays in the game. He connected with me as a singer myself, and the interactions he has with the player character are so wholesome. In the game he realises the protagonist is in fact a girl (hiding in an boys-only acting school) but takes it upon himself to play an even more convincing women to hide her secret on stage.
