Hi hi! I'm Gelato Solstice, an artist and gamer who does Vtubing casually

I like to draw cute guys and colorful (literal and figurative) characters. I'm currently trying to improve at character design

Vtuber Gelato Solstice floating in front of a galaxy and cloud background. Their head is framed by a full moon and ring of stars, while one star floats down to be cradled by their hands. Below them is a water-like ripple reflecting the night sky. In the bottom right is an idol signature by Nikki GZ (@nikigz) that reads "Gelato Solstice". 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. Sareti Corhaven the Dhampir with his companion Elde drawn by Gelato Solstice (@gelatosolstice) as a D&D OC. 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. A waist-up drawing by Gelato Solstice (@gelatosolstice) of a nobleman with an outfit themed after Malzeno from Monster Hunter. He has dark magenta hair that goes past his shoulders, round red glasses, and frilly magenta cravat, and a white/magenta noble's coat. His hands are gloved, with his right hand cutely pushing up his glasses and his left holding a book and large scroll.

Happy New Years! 🎉
May your 2026 be full of joy

I spent the last moments of the year working on my L2D model a bit, so now it has some changed proportions and arms!

I hope to be able to have it fully drawn and rigged by the end of 2026 🍨

sketch vs final product

#gelarto #art
Rough sketch for a background with stars and god rays in a red halo and green clouds in front of a light blue backdrop Finalized background that shows a full moon and galaxy with a ripple effect on the borders. The full moon is half-circled by stars and shining brightly. The clouds in front are a combination of yellow, pink, and blue shades. Below the clouds is a puddle-like circle with ripples for where the character will stand when finished.

For an upcoming video idea, I decided to draw some bookshelves! The problem is that I don't know what to fill them with 😖💦 (besides lots of books)

Any ideas are appreciated! There's a lot of space to fill up 🍨
