Welcome! 🍨

I know that man! He's from a Tales of game I haven't played!
(My favorite Tales of game is Vesperia)

And thank you 💕

It's #PortfolioDay, so let me introduce myself!

I'm Gelato Solstice and I'm a character designer and concept artist who moonlights as a Vtuber! I prefer bright and happy colors (even for darker/edgier designs) 🍨

My commissions are open on my Artistree page:
artistree.io/gelatosolstice

Calypso (fake name) is a D&D NPC from Captain Faustus Dendarson's backstory. She has elf ears, shoulder-length blonde hair, and tan skin. Her bright yellow eyes match the eye motif present throughout her design, including the large stylized eye on the hood covering her right eye. Her dark purple cloak resembles a pair of wings. Under the cloak, she wears a light purple tunic with a black belt, black tights, long black gloves with brown fingerless gloves over them, and brown boots. She is tossing a golden dagger in the air with her left hand and holding her messenger snake in the right. The snake is green with blue extremities and has a cobra hood with the same eye pattern as Calypso. Its wings are spread out and its tongue is tasting the air.

Thasha, the Queen of Sharks, a D&D NPC from Captain Faustus Dendarson's backstory. On paper, she is a sea elf, although she has a lot of merfolk qualities like fish-scaled skin and fin-like ears. Her base skin color is a teal with pale yellow inner sections (face, tummy, inner thigh) and darker teal limbs. She has white hair in a ponytail, red and yellow eyes, as well as a red mark under her left eye and another large red scar on her left forearm. She's wearing red and black stylized beachwear consisting of a scaled bikini top and long torn skirt tied at the end to resemble a fish tail. In her right hand is a trident with a spectral chain that wraps around her left forearm and ends in an anchor.

Sareti Corhaven the Dhampir with his companion Elde. Sareti is a young adult male who is half Shadar-Kai elf and half vampire. He has black hair that goes past his shoulders, red eyes with bags, and pale skin. His attire consists of a double-buttoned vest, open dress shirt, pants, boots, and hands wrapped in red bandages. Around his neck is both a collar and a locket with a heart on it. Behind him is a spectral entity that looks like a woman in a veil, but her arms are crossed over her blood-stained chest and the veil ends in large cloth-like hands. Under her tattered dress are tentacle-like appendages instead of legs.

Preview of a stream screen for a cozy reading idea. The Vtuber Gelato Solstice sits length-wise on a couch while reading a book. The white couch has pillows, a blanket, and a plushie of Gelato's dragon form. They are surrounded by bookshelves filled with books of different sizes and colors, as well as trinkets like treasure chests and a jar of star sand. Lights in the shape of stars are hung up around the room and the large window shows a crescent moon with wisteria trees and hydrangea bushes.

I wasn't expecting it to happen during Vtober, so we'll have to do the drawing stream in November (oops)

Thank you for the support! 💕

I'm always looking for volunteers haha
