Week 15 of my year-long Character Design Challenge!
(Late once again 😖)
I decided to slightly redo the design of my dragon form, so it's a bit rounder this time to make it more friend-shaped~
I might have to pause the challenge for the next few weeks 😔 So busy
#gelarto #characterdesign #OC #OCsky
A set of 3 drawings of Gelato Solstice's mini dragon form. The dragon is about the size of a cat with short white "fur". The insides of the ears, wings, and tail are a blue galaxy pattern. The first drawing shows a walking reference, the second shows a sitting reference, while the final drawing shows a star-like prismatic blast instead of the traditional fire breath of a dragon.
Week 9 of my year-long Character Design Challenge!
(on time!)
I decided to sit down and draw my dragon form (mini ver) so I have a quick reference for it 🍨

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 🍨

I'm redoing my profile pic almost a year later haha
#gelarto #Vtubers #vsky
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.

YCH commission example of gelatosolstice's Halloween 2025 base. It features their Vtuber avatar Gelato dressed in the outfit of Flins from Genshin Impact. They are holding a bucket shaped like a jack-o-lantern filled with pink, blue, and yellow candy that matches their color scheme. Behind them is a full moon with bats, bare trees, and a jack-o-lantern, while below them is a pile of autumn leaves.
Here's an example image of my Vtuber dressed up as Flins from Genshin Impact 🍨💕

Guess who finally finished drawing and rigging their new L2D model for a comfy reading idea?
That's right! This dessert! 🍨💕

All that's left is to actually rig that L2D model haha..ha...

Unshaded background of purple built-in bookshelves with a white couch that has a purple cushion. The large windows behind the couch are blank. On two of the shelves are sketches for where books will be drawn in, as well as a sketch for a jar filled with sand and a star.
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 🍨

Their pants are loose pajama bottoms with socks to match. In their hands is a book with a shooting star on the cover. Their pose is sitting with legs out, as if on a long couch.

Updated concept design 💕🍨
#gelarto #Vtuber #vsky #characterdesign
A silhouette that shows a person with fox-like "ears", multiple sealing rods sticking out of them, and large wings. They are also wearing boots and have dangling ribbons.
A rough concept of Gelato Solstice's irl self. She has pale skin, long dark purple hair covering one eye, and elf ears. On her head is a beret that rests on the back of her head with fox-like ears attached to the front. The ears have an eye-like pattern where the inner ear would be. Over the covered eye is another eye-like pattern. Three large golden sealing rods stick out from her back with magenta ribbons hanging off of them. Her attire is a formal coat with long and large sleeves that flares out at the bottom like a skirt. A section of the coat reveals a darker under-coat with a mosaic of broken glass. She is also wearing stockings with a diamond pattern and boots. On her back are a pair of dark wings.
Working on a new design related to my Vtuber lore
Here's the first rough concept 💕🍨
