Call me Val! I am nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them.I draw emotes, PNGTubers, character illustrations, and more!Commissions: OPEN
I am a small artist on Twitch and Twitter. I love to draw character art and illustrations! When I'm not working or drawing, I like playing adventure games and farming/ranching simulators.I have some basic knowledge of graphic design principles from my unfinished degree, but I focus mainly on character art. My style tends to be very simple and cartoony. I like to use thick lines and cel-shading, but not exclusively. Most of my work is done using a Wacom tablet.I am currently learning how to create Live2D models, and I also intend to learn 3D character modeling and rigging, video editing, and bot coding, among other things!

If you're wondering, "Hey Val, what's going on with your dono goal on Twitch/Ko-fi?" Well, I have a not-small cluster of mental health issues which I am paying out of pocket for. I am being treated for medication-resistant C-PTSD/Major Depressive Disorder. This involves me seeing mental health specialists on a regular basis, which gets a little pricey when health insurance won't cover some of the specialized treatment I have recieved!I am currently paying off 2 big medical bills, one for my psychiatrist which is currently around 4500 and another for neurofeedback which is around 3800 (last updated April 2024). I also am having to put off treatment for other issues including chronic pain until I can afford it. The medical bills I have are outside my ability to pay on my dayjob alone, so I am accepting commissions in hopes of making my necessary healthcare more affordable. Donations are lovely as well, and I appreciate every bit of support!
