Hello~~ ✧*。٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*。
My name is Vivian though I prefer being called Vivi. Birthed in 1994. I like animals, cute things, and sparkles.
I started drawing since I was a kid and am currently in the midst of finding an art style I really like and can stick to.
A big part of my life is continuing to learn how to manage my mental health struggles of BPD (borderline personality disorder), PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), and agoraphobia. These struggles are a big part of my life and they take up a lot of my time as I am constantly practicing ways to regulate my emotions and nervous system. I am unable to go out and keep a stable job because of how much my mental illness affects me on a daily basis. While consistently and actively attending therapy to improve myself and my situation, art commissions are my main source of periodic earnings. Sometimes drawing gets frustrating and hard so I am often seen taking breaks away from accepting commissions though I always try my best to recover and return when I am in a better head space! (Please note that this does not affect the completion of accepted commissioned pieces, I generally finish them first before going on break. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧)
When I'm not drawing, I tackle the challenge of going outside with my two shelties, Maya and Kai Kai. They help me quite a lot by allowing me to focus on them while on walks! I like spending time playing games such as Lost Ark, Hello Sweet Days, and Neopets. Games that allow for endless customization or character story development are super fun and helps provide inspiration for art I'd like to create. Sometimes I enjoy watching movies and shows. My recent favorite shows are Blue Eye Samurai, Ratched, What We Do In The Shadows, and Ashes of Love. My most favorite anime are Wolf's Rain, Inuyasha, Chobits, Ergo Proxy, Paradise Kiss, Nana, and Yurikuma.
It's a bit hard for me to keep contact with friends and family sometimes so I assume it's also hard for others to connect with me as a person and as an artist. I really hope this about me section gives everyone a bit of insight on who I am and what I enjoy. I'm constantly working on becoming more social but also being mindful that progression is not linear. Thank you always for the encouraging words and support! ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭❤

f.a.q (general & stream)
♡ How long have you been drawing?
I have been drawing for as long as I could remember! I started drawing digitally in 2007 but it was very on and off and not used as my main medium until 2015. I've taken multiple hiatus from drawing; some lasting up to around 6 months or even a whole year. Notably, the longest hiatus I've taken was from late 2018 to mid 2020. I've had the chance to experiment with different mediums before settling on digital art.
♡ Did you attend any art classes for drawing?
My experience with art classes consist of courses that focused on sketching still life objects with graphite pencils, sculpting animals and objects with water-based clay, Chinese brush painting: impressionist style (水墨画), Chinese brush painting: intricate style (工笔画), and Chinese calligraphy. Art classes came to a cease when I entered high school. In my last year of high school, I took Anatomy for science to learn more about the human body which contributed to a bit more understanding of body structure. My experiences has taught me many fundamentals of art that I can now carry on over in my drawings and I am still very willing to learn more every day!
♡ What are your drawing tools?
Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Medium (CTH-680)
Programs: Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop CS5
Sometimes I sketch on Procreate.
♡ What is your canvas size?
3000 x 3000 px or more for chibis and illustrations
800 x 800 px for panel art
500 x 500 px for emotes
♡ How long does it take to finish a piece?
It may take between 8 hours to a few days to complete a drawing depending on my overall energy and health.
♡ Are you open to requests?
No, I am not open to requests though sometimes I may feel like wanting to sketch random characters so feel free to drop your OC in the appropriate channel in my Discord.
♡ Do you have a commission wait list?
No, I do not have a commission wait list. My Discord server will be the first to be notified when I open my slots up again, then Twitter, DeviantArt, and so on.
♡ Who is the VTuber model you're using?
My model is based off my OC Eukia. I am not in character as Eukia but as myself while streaming. I enjoy seeing my character come to life! (٭°̧̧̧꒳°̧̧̧٭)
♡ Is Eukia your persona?
I relate a lot to Eukia but I do not consider her my persona, she is my OC. There are a lot of things about Eukia that is a part of me but there are also some differences such as lacking certain emotions. Eukia is unable to feel sadness and also cannot feel romantic feelings. The closest to what looks like romance for Eukia is her duty to take care of my other OC, Amelia. Eukia also embodies half of the black and white, all or nothing, thinking I used to struggle with a lot; the other half is Amelia!
♡ Can I draw fan art of Eukia or Amelia?
Yes!! Definitely!! I appreciate all the art drawn of Eukia and Amelia by many wonderful artists sosososoo much! If you need references, check out Eukia's page and Amelia's page. Please tag me on social media with your finished art or post it in the Discord. I will include your art on either of their pages! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡
♡ What are your streaming hours?
I have yet decided on a set streaming schedule. My time zone is PST and for now, I will stream whenever I feel like drawing. Be sure to follow me on Twitch to be notified when I go live! I will also notify my Discord server and Twitter that I am going live too!!
