First time I'd been commissioned to make a Magic card xD Even after all this time, when someone wants a Final Fantasy black mage, only one guy comes to mind.

[manifesteddreams]

So so so- I went to a convention last month, and I bought two commissions that were going to be mailed to my home,,

AND THEY ARRIVED TODAY!!!!!

And- And and they came with buttons!!!!!!

SOBS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH,,,

Huge, GIGANTIC thank you to @manifesteddreams for making these for me!!! I really hope to see you two again next year!!

They are so so cool and really nice and I super appreciate them and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,,,,,,,

Aaron will be in the artist alley at Anthro and flying solo for the most part, so please visit him :D

OMGcon was pretty great. Turns out that when you advertise that you like doing fur badges, the furries know you're a safe spot to commission a fur badge at. Never occurred to me that not everyone likes doing anthro art. Anyway, gonna be AA tabling at Anthrocon in a few weeks, so if anyone wanted to pre-order a badge for pickup there, I'mma slide you m'Vgen link: https://vgen.co/Aaronmizuno where it'll be a nice bit cheaper than I'll have to charge at-show.

First 1.25" buttons in AAAAGES, but our catalogue is criminally old now. No one's asked for 'em, but a lil' Hasbin Hotel is what they're gonna get. Now I just gotta figure out who else I wanna do. ... and probably finally go check out Helluva Boss.

I'm definitely not the illustrator for the studio, but I try to sketch out my ideas to give myself a visual to reference while designing new plush. Already have to make some pattern tweaks from the prototype, but I think they'll be cute once I'm finished :3

New sticker/magnet for Animazement this coming weekend. For people up to date on Apothecary Diaries, this should be worth a smirk.

I'm so excited to turn this into a badge 😍 ngl I want Nyari's fur markings as tattoos.

Got Ari's fursona cleaned up for a banner we're making. Beaaron and Nyari xD I got a bunch of little details in her spots. Had a lot more fun with this one, which makes sense since she's a more ornament-oriented person than I am.

[manifesteddreams]

Cleaned up and colored version of "Beaaron." Bear really works for me. Always sleepy. Very fuzzy.

[manifesteddreams]

I can not explain how excited I am about this aaaaa

Ari and I are finally diving back into furry conventions! We've always loved anthro art and fur badges are among my favorite commissions to work on. So... we're finally ironing out our fursona I'mma bear, she's'a jaguar.

If having to hustle wasn't an issue, I'd have so many more stories rolling. I've got this fun idea of showing early history Elden Ring through a young Ranni's perspective with some shifts to Marika.

I just imagine their family dynamics being so sweet. You know, before everything goes terrible.

Ari's 7-year-old phone died, and the replacement she got has a really impressive camera. Even at the low settings, it picks up paper and graphite grit. Blessing in disguise?

Anyway, enjoy this lil' Byleth sketch from January. My fave from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

We're working to get Aaron verified on V-Gen to make it easier for potential commissioners to find him. Part of that is getting 10 follows over there, along with a handful of reviewed commissions. I genuinely like the way their system seems to be set up, so really hoping we can meet the requirements. Please consider helping us hit that goal <3 vgen.co/Aaronmizuno

Been setting up an account on VGen (https://vgen.co/Aaronmizuno) to handle commission stuff. Had to make a buncha custom graphics and sketched out Min Hua as an example. Min's magificent.

Photos from our latest con featuring some of our new items.

Guess who has been without power since Tuesday. Pittsburgh was hit with tornado level winds that absolutely devastated large portions of the area, including ours. My understanding is roughly 500,000 people lost power. They are working hard to get everyone up and running, but there are still downed trees, wires, etc all of the place. We had to toss all our cold food and, because we live in an actual cave(no direct natural light for us, rip) we haven't been able to work at home.

Currently taking refuge at a friend's place that finally has power back, but I also re set up our Ko-fi for anyone that has asked about helping. It's rough all around so please don't feel pressured. If you've ever thought about getting a print, candle, commission, or anything else though, now is a great time for it. Thanks for being here, and for enjoying our art!

It's time for a victory photo!

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is one of our absolute favorite isekai series. I've always thought of it as a "raising sim" anime vs a traditional shounen action series. A situation where someone incredibly overpowered just uses their powers to make everyone's lives better? Perfection.

It was hard to decide who to include though, as there are so many other characters that deserve to be represented.

We'll probably do a sticker series to showcase some of those other characters and their dynamics with each other and Rimuru.

I think we can all agree that Jinshi's absolute mental unraveling when thinking about gremlin!MaoMao is peak entertainment.

This is a new style of print Aaron is experimenting with to be able to really showcase a characters personality. The first one he did was NSFW so I can't share it here, but hopefully we'll have more in the future.

Let us know if there is any character you'd like to see in this style!

Art is personal, it tells us something about the artist.

Politics are personal, they tell us something about the persons morals.

The intersection of art & politics has always been & will always be. For better or worse, it's innately human.
