About Me

The person behind the art.

Hey, I'm Arkonen, or Arky. (she/her)

I'm a digital artist with a love for things that exist in the space between soft and cute to uncanny and uncomfortable; the kind of art that can make you smile and unsettle you in the same breath.

I create two very different kinds of work: cute Pokémon fanart full of warmth and color, and dark fantasy pieces that lean into the uncomfortable and the strange. Both feel equally like home to me.

When I'm not drawing, you can usually find me listening to music (my favorite band is The Birthday Massacre), playing a cozy RPG on my PC or my Nintendo Switch 2, reading sci-fi or romantasy, or organizing my Pokémon card collection.

A Safe Space Progress Pride flag

This is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. My art is for anyone who appreciates it, regardless of who you are, who you love, or how you identify. The only requirement is kindness and understanding. Hate, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and bigotry of any kind are not welcome here.

Commissions

I'm open for commissions through my page on VGen. You'll find my current availability, full pricing, and terms of service there.
