Happy #PortfolioDay 🎨🎶

I'm Froge, a digital artist & singer! I'm also in a virtual idol group @afterlightidols.com!

I love to draw colorful OCs, and I am a mezzo-soprano! I'd love to work with you 💫

VGen: vgen.co/hypofroge

Yune is an alien moon dog with a humanoid form. She has blue skin, white dog ears, yellow angel wings affixed to her hair, and purple demon horns with golden rings around them. They also have white wings affixed to their shoulders. Her ears are pointed, like elven ears. There is a pink gem at the center of her forehead, visible through her long wavy bangs. Their hair is white and pink, and very long. On the top of her head is a giant white ribbon with stars and moons on them. She has big pink eyes and one purple stripe on each side of her cheeks.

They're wearing a chunky golden collar around their neck, which has a pink heart in the center, and golden wings on each side of the heart. There is a giant pink heart locket with a smaller purple heart hanging over her chest with a golden chain extending down just above the tummy. Yune is wearing a pink and white bodysuit with golden accents, and over the tummy is a diamond shape.

She is dancing, with her giant pink sleeves drooping over as she sways around. One sleeve has a golden moon, and the other has a golden diamond shape. Yune has a happy expression. Their fluffy white tail has a pink X shape near the top, resembling bandages.

The background is purple with pink stars and a giant pink moon. There are also some clouds in the distance.

A vibrant humanoid fox-like creature holds out their hands to reach for the stars. Their hair--which is long and tied back--and tail are the same colors, a gradient of hot pink, orange, yellow, and red. They have big fox-like ears on the top of their head, poking out from underneath their bangs. Therion has a hot pink star tattoo on their face, and a cat-shaped mouth showing a look of wonder. There are three giant golden rings surrounding their tail, one at the top, in the center, and at the very bottom. Therion has purple, blue, and pink eyes with yellow irises and they are wearing black gloves with hot pink accents. They're wearing a black crop top with a diamond cut in the chest; a light blue choker with a star pendant; a purple and blue puffy jacket with yellow accents on the cuffs and very end of the jacket; and hot pink shorts with a black belt that has a star at the center. At the tip of their fox ears they wear different piercings, on one side a star shaped piercing, and the other a golden ring to match their tail rings. The floof sticking out from their ears is a vibrant yellow. The background is filled with stars, and the sky is dark blue fading into purple. There are colorful cartoonish stars scattered along the background as well.

Therion is an original character belonging to DL, and this was illustrated as part of Art Fight 2025.

Digital art of Cafe's PNGTuber design. They're floating among the water filled with fish and bubbles, with a smile on their face. Their pink hair is fastened into two space buns with some of their bangs framing the side of their face. They have pink aquatic elf-like ears, and a pink tail with a drop at the end. Cafe is wearing a loose grey v-neck long sleeve shirt with a grey shirt underneath, and they are wearing a necklace with two triangular shaped golden pendants. They are also wearing black leggings.

If you’d like to help offset the cost of the medication, I’ve made a new goal over on Ko-Fi dedicated to that. As always, I appreciate any help but it is never expected. 💗

maybe don't make a game or piece of media if you can't afford to hire real artists for every single step of the process. if you have to resort to using gen ai in any way, shape, or form, then maybe you shouldn't be making anything at all.

actually, there's no maybe about it. don't do it. full stop.

We're at $100/$1k, thank you so much!!

I'm currently live with max ads on stream while we cowork to some lofi beats 💖 lurking in streams helps with ad revenue, which pushes us closer to Twitch payouts (that I'll put directly into this fund)

No goal until I know $$ amount better but just for reference water heater repairs/replacements can run up into the thousands. I'm sure they'll offer a payment plan but I'd like to not be several more thousands in debt if I can help it.
