hi there! i was at your booth at tekko once pre-pandemic and bought a ditto "proud to be me" pin from you. prior to now, i had actually thought it was by a different artist just going off of my memory, but i just searched for it again and my research led me here. now, it says that pin isn't available on your etsy shop, and i couldn't find it on your website either. but is there ANY chance that there could be extras lying around? i lost that ditto pin during college and really would love a new one. if not though, i totally understand 💜 alternatively, i would be willing to order it custom at some point (not right now though, kinda struggling financially).

Hi there, I'm so glad you found us! Since we have so many buttons we haven't listed our smaller ones on our website, but we still sell them.

Please send me a message here:

And we'll get a Ditto sent out :)

P.S. Ditto is my favorite and you have excellent taste.

I need you to understand that I kind of begged for this, for Tekko, less than a week ago. Aaron is amazing y'all.

Whoo! Got it done in time for Tekko this weekend!

Ease comes with experience. Nothing on its own is "easy" without a tremendous amount of time and effort dedicated to making it so. Breathing oxygen took millennia of evolutionary dice rolls. Visual organs like eyes that required a similar evolutionary long-walk still can require tools that took humanity centuries to develop that are still being refined. "Talent" is simply an interest in doing a thing enough that you get good at it. Over a decade ago, it took me a week to make a comic page. Now I'm scripting/sketching/inking/coloring/typographing and posting all in the same half-day. There are two messages here. One is you'll get better with time and effort, the other is that I am a dumbass. Give yourself time to get things done. ... oh, and go read my webcomic over at masterycomic.com. It updates on Wednesdays. Three messages.

@masterycomic is going to be at Anthrocon this weekend in the artist alley! He'll be offering art card, badge, and action sheet(an array of expressions and gestures) commissions. He'll be solo-ing for the first time, so please stop by to visit him at K18!

[manifesteddreams]

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,,,,,,,

[manifesteddreams]

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.

[manifesteddreams]

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.

[manifesteddreams]

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

[manifesteddreams]

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

[manifesteddreams]

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.

[manifesteddreams]

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.
