Lyrics ♫ : Out of my reach a, shadow flickers on and off. Sad as it may be- everything, will be lost. Not even my existence.. is clear in my eyes. But still I keep living.. a melancholic, unhappy life. As your tears spiral down; you forget the here and now, not even my voice is re-re-reaching you. Raise up your eyes, witness the vacant sky; it's replaced, by our very own eternal tearful twilight.

Support human artists! Clicking on any image on this site will take you to the original artist of that artwork! If the image link doesn't work, the artist has left their social medias.

let the sea of dreams float me away on the raft of my bed, far into a starlit ocean where imagination comes to life at it’s shore. where blue roses bloom by my bedside and sprout on my mattress, and i wait for the prince of daylight to rescue me.

ㅤintroductionㅤ Hello, I'm Ukiyo! I'm a very slow artist with around a hundred original characters! I really love to support other artists & help others when I'm not busy! I commission lots of art of my characters who are like friends & family to me, work on my Toyhouse/sites, write for my original characters, cover songs, write poetry and wear lolita fashion! I have a lot of hobbies! I love to support artists & others with their creative endeavours.I try to be my true self and many of my posts may be about my own self-discovery, development or feelings! I use the internet to archive my experiences or thoughts. Thank you for checking out my Carrd and please, don't be afraid to interact with me. I know what it's like to feel left out, so I hope that I make you feel welcome!

"Welcome to our Carrd! Make yourself at home and while we brew you some tea."

I treasure my mutuals/followers! Please don't ever worry if you become inactive or don't talk to me as I believe we can always pick up where we left off! I think that's how the strongest friendships are! I don't forget my positive interactions or when someone has helped me. Just please make sure you're taking care of yourself first and foremost; and if you wanted to chat or needed help with something feel free to direct message me!Thank you to all my mutuals/followers who've been supporting me for so long, the artists who've drawn my characters, and the people who have listened to me talk! If you're reading this I hope you have an amazing day! But even if you aren't reading it I also hope you're having an amazing day!I have a huge love of website design so this site will most likely update time to time with newer things or more sections! Thank you for checking it out nonetheless and enjoy your stay!

about

ㅤabout meㅤ I'm mostly called Uki, but some people call me Kiyo or Kyo! I've been drawing and singing ever since I learnt how to do them! I pick up a lot of different hobbies and try a lot of different things. If I had to describe myself it'd be.. oh dear, this is difficult; whimsical, melancholic, affectionate, self-sacrificing, kind-hearted, detached/distant, sentimental and patient!

ㅤpridefullyㅤ I am genderfluid which means my gender isn't fixed. I might be a girl or boy, neither, or absolutely nothing or absolutely everything at the same time! Others might have different experiences with gender fluidity but that is how my gender is felt! Nothing changes about me and I often dress against gender norms. Days where I'm a boy won't stop me from wearing a cute puffy dress!When it comes to love, I'm pansexual/panromantic! I'm very blind to gender when it comes to romance and can find everyone so beautiful from their personality. I can find someone pretty, but it's through learning a person that I can come to appreciate their beauty in full. I would love anyone regardless of their gender.I'm on the ace/asexual spectrum. I'm not sure what term to call it so I use the term greysexual! Those kinds of things don't matter to me in a relationship, and I'm repulsed by it from trauma and superficial portrayals of the subject.I've loved/dated multiple people at the same time before, so I'm also polyamorous. polyamory is all about love and trust between multiple people! I have a big heart who could love multiple, but for now I am monogamous with my blue rose from his & my wishes!

ㅤa little less pridefullyㅤ I have ADHD which makes me really blind to deadlines/time. I'm trying to get an official diagnosis and get help. Even if I write down or schedule things it's so hard to stick to them. I'm trying to find what works for me! On the flip side I think it's made me pick up many, many different hobbies since I can't sit still doing the same thing all the time!I have anxiety, which I think is hereditary like my ADHD. Previously I also had depression/melancholia and while I still experience melancholy very frequently; I've gotten much healthier! Those close to me also suspect I have OCD (as I have anxiety around cleaning/doing things a particular way/cannot do anything if my hands are dirty) but as I'm not sure I didn't want to list that I have it.I struggle with complex PTSD. Unfortunately due to a lot of events in my life (years of toxic relationships, neglect, bullying, abuse, ect.) I struggle to function like a normal human being and deny myself even classifying myself as a human. I opt to be called an alien instead & to myself I am not a human. I'm sorry if being this way concerns you and feel free to ignore me if I ramble on about it! I am working through it and getting healthier.Probably related to everything above, I'm a maladaptive daydreamer. The subjects of my daydreams are sometimes my characters or personas, and they're not always maladaptive! When I don't have anyone to rely on in a moment I will maladaptive daydream to cope.I have so much about myself that I'd like to share regarding my life, the button below will take you to that page if you're interesting in reading about my story/hardships there will be proper trigger warnings on the page. It'll show you how I got to where I am!

goals

Some little goals I have for myself! I want to draw my secondary persona's reference sheet. I want to create a part two to my primary persona's reference sheet. I want to finish my Toyhouse or at least give everyone a profile (even if small for the time being)! I want to save up money towards my future (my ADHD/mental health causing me to be unable to see the future made this difficult before). I want to get even healthier, I want to go take walks more often for my peace of mind! I want to clean out my room for the same reason! I want to prove I can live a happy life despite everything that's happened to me! I want to help others going through what I had gone through, and somehow educate others on how important learning about these issues are. I want to be a good person! I want to do all kinds of wonderful things for my friends and get closer to them!

plans

My plans that I'm most likely definitely going to do! I'm a bit short-sighted because of my ADHD and I live very carefree & day-to-day so this might seem a bit weird. I'm going to graduate from my art academy! I'm going to learn more about making video games (my academy teaches you how to make art specifically for video games). I'm going to set aside a bit of money every pay to commission artists with! I'm going to go eat delicious food whenever I go out (hopefully)! I'm going to make tea for myself! I'm going to finish my commissions! I'll do my assignments and pass (again hopefully)! I'm going to respond to all the lovely people on Twitter or that want to strike up a conversation with me in general! I'm going to make a Toyhouse tutorial, I also want to make Carrd templates one day! I'm going to make more assets for people to use!

dreams

My dreams for the future! I want to cosplay my personas or get an outfit I've designed made in real life! I want a plush, ball jointed doll or figurine of my personas (or all three)! I want to work for an indie game company or by myself and create my personas and characters in video game format! I want to try out Vocaloid and produce covers or my own original songs (I am already a lyricist/poet and I've been writing singable English lyrics to a lot of underrated songs I personally love)! I want to try out VTubing so I know how to make assets for others (but also because I want to become my personas, and have assets myself). I'd want to share all the underrated games I love! With however much recognition or fame I might have, I want to uplift others and not make anyone feel left out or lonely! I want to become a booth artist and make merchandise of all the underrated medias I love! (And my own characters!)

personas

ㅤabout my personasㅤ My personas represent me! I have three in total, one being Novella who is the goddess of my entire world. They are a shapeshifter who must retain a disguise to get close to the world, causing them to usually look like an amalgamation of different original characters. They are unable to enter the world as it rejects them; sensing that they do not belong. This means they need to send their butterfly companions Crysellia and Shion to monitor the world for them instead! I would write about Novella, but you were reading about them on the home page this entire time. They wish vehemently to become one with their own world.

All my personas share my stature at 147cm/4'10" and birthday February 21st! My other two personas that I'm most known for are Uki and Kyo! They resemble different parts of me, but together form a complete me. They are very protective of eachother and have a relationship like that of siblings. The truth is that one is a clone of the other, but they both came out imperfect. Pitying their beloved creations, the goddess sealed the two abilities they used to create the universe within them; the power of time and space. The goddess wished to live in this world through them and watches them with much care through the eyes of their butterflies.

UKIYO

my night, my melancholy

alienated blue, the vast world he lives; art is her lifeforce, and melancholy, their gift. hair flows like the waves, a dress that drifts like the ocean; eyes always speaking and yet no sound ever spoken.

Gladioli, butterfly milkweed, blue rose and baby’s breath.

"The stars told me it would not be so easy.. that is precisely why
I will be the one to prove them wrong."

Ukiyo is my beloved primary persona, they're the times I can't sleep at night and listen to music. The times I don't know what to say to others, when I feel all alone. They are my alienation and impossible love! They are the calm I feel from the sound of rain against my roof, and times I lay beneath the stars.

• toyhouse profile

They'll never love me for who I truly am;
And though that may bring me grief-
It grants an even sweeter allure,
Finding who would look beneath.Would you look my way and see this alien,
Who could love but could not speak?
Will you help me on this journey chasing;
That blue rose I desperately try to reach?

Ukiyo is the dethroned heir of a planet called Nepulatune. After being born without a mouth and being seen as a blight upon the royal family, they were abandoned in an unknown galaxy. Despite the hardships of being mute and alienated, Ukiyo tries their very best to express themselves in all ways possible; trying to do this through art, appearance and literature.After living a solitary and depressing life, they were saved by a girl with light blue hair- only to find even among their own kind, they were different. As that girl passed away in her arms; they made one wish to redo their life and be her protector from the harsh truth- as that girl was her one and only true family in this entire world; she was the only one left to accept her. Her name was Aura, but she soon started to call herself Kyo.

TRIVIA

KYO

my day, my innocence

radiate; bright, the girl holds a plight, with each step as light as clouds. with a fate that seems to test all her might; eyes that reflect the blueness of the sky, a tea party for one so ever devout.

Delphinium, white rose, hoa mai and jasmine.

"I never knew that the sun was so beautiful, it's like
the entire sky is smiling upon me!"

Kyo is my doted on secondary persona, they are the times I run around affectionately hugging my friends. The times where I ramble on about my interests, the times I feel safe and welcome. She is my love for everyone and my innocence! The warm feelings that I have when I'm basking in the sunshine.

I braved the beautiful unknown storm,
So that I could finally smile.
I remember the days when it was forlorn,
So I've made it part of my style.I'm so unsure, for what reason was I born;
For love that was never directed at me.
Could I too be so innocently adored;
Would you let me be part of your family?

Starting as an orphan abandoned on the gates of the castle, Kyo is a guardian from Nepulatune. Growing up with no family, she became obsessed with finding the truth of her origins- one day finding she could traverse through time. She used her one wish to meet her true family, stepping through a portal to a person with bright blue hair.She brought them back to their rightful home, yet something doesn't feel quite right.. this same person was there throughout her entire childhood in the castle, so how did any of this ever happen? Growing up alongside her mysterious friend Ukiyo, Kyo is kind and bubbly; making anyone feel welcome

TRIVIA

universe

NEPULATUNE

the planet of art

Nepulatune is governed by art, with the belief that immortality can be achieved through art you create. These incude any forms of art, such as visual art, song, dance, acting, sculpting, crafting or creative writing. Nepulatunians are known as spiritual and dreamy. This planet barely ever sees the light of the sun, most never seeing it in their lifetime- the sun is almost like a legend, and can only be cast upon the planet by great magic. The planet is bathed in endless moonlight!

ULTRAINEXUS

the planet of dreams

Ultrainexus is a planet that knows no limitations, constantly innovating. It's a planet known for liberation and revolution. The planet's beliefs include having your imagination and dreams be your guide and only limits. Ultrainians are known to be intuitive, best following their gut feeling! It often rains on this planet, and before some rain hits the surface it turns into purple mist and fog. There is a strange magical feel about the mist that envelopes the planet.

VALEN

the planet of love

Valen is a planet known for love and friendship, many on this planet value taste and finding what makes one happy. Their belief is that finding and indulging in the things you love is of utmost importance to having a fulfilling life. They value beauty, aesthetics and living lavishly in abundance of material possessions. It always feels like spring on this planet, with flowers in constant bloom all year round. The planet is very clean and pretty, with beauty found everywhere.

character reference sheet

This reference sheet I made for my character is my magnum opus at the moment. I need more practice before ever considering opening commissions for it!

bust-up

These are all old references! I must practice them more and create updated examples if I ever were to open them.

webcore portrait

With my commissions I'm most known for my webcore portraits! They are done in a YCH style and can be animated with window/props on the side!

pixel chibi icon

My cute little pixel chibi icons! They're ideal if you want a cheap animated profile photo for sites/places that allow that! These were one of the first things I drew in pixel art!

pixel chibi sprite

I'm stuck in art block with these (putting so many small design details into pixel art isn't always easy) but I still find joy in them! I hope to find another chibi style in the future as well though!

pixel item sprite

These are sprites I made while trying to imagine what would be in my main personas inventory! I haven't opened commissions for them yet!

logo/watermark design

Another thing I'm in art block with since I'm not confident in my abilities to draw them! I'm very happy with the ones I've made thus far though!

character q&a

comforts

chihiro

from the game danganronpa: trigger happy havoc.

Chihiro Fujisaki is a big comfort character of mine! He has the same weight, same height and same zodiac sign as me which is really cool! Not just that, but he's a boy who wears dresses/skirts just like me! I love how his character arc is about him finding how to be comfortable just the way he is. I see him as a strong character! Also I love programming, I used to help my own father with building PCs so that's another cool connection!

ren

from the game magia record.

I have a cosplay of Ren Isuzu, she is an underrated side character I related greatly to in Magia Record. Sadly Magia Record was taken off the English market (I can't play it anymore), but she impacted me as a character! Her magical girl wish was to continue living after jumping off a building. She was done with watching others fighting, but after making friends she finds her place in the world begins to love life. She loves sunshine and canonically makes all her friends homemade chocolates on Valentines! She's honestly so sweet and I'd protect her with my life.

makoto

from the game raincode.

Makoto Kagutsuchi is a good person, his character arc is him wanting to protect an entire group of people who were doomed- even if it meant performing villainous acts to get there. I love his manner of speaking and his personality as it reminds me of myself! He's a bit mischievous, but very just and speaks with a refined flair. I also think his masks and long hair are very cool looking! And he's yet another short man I relate to, he's 150cm. Did I mention purple in my favourite colour? His suit is a pretty purple.

linhardt

from the game fire emblem three houses.

I suppose you could say he stole my.. lin-HEART. I love Linhardt von Hevring! He's studious and takes plenty of naps, as well as fishes (which is usually my favourite mechanic in any game.. usually). He is a lover of freedom and a bit of a pacifist just like me, who often goes interest to interest just like me too! He even falls asleep when something disinterests him enough just like me. I also love his design so much.. if you couldn't tell at this point.. I really love men with long hair in character designs.

azura

from the game fire emblem fates.

Fire Emblem Fates was one of the first video games that resonated with me. Azura absolutely enchanted me as a character, her dancing, her story and how mysterious she was captured me. Fire Emblem Fates inspired me so much to write and build my own characters, hence when I first made my persona I named her Azura as well. The cutscenes for this game were way ahead of their time for being on a 3DS. I played every single route and had every single DLC; Azura was at the centre of the entire story. Also Azura should've been the DLC emblem in Engage, not Camilla.

vishnal

from the game rune factory 4.

Rune Factory 4 was another game from my childhood. Vishnal was there to say good morning to me everytime my player character woke up and he called me a princess. He's so sweet and silly, he's not the best chef (he's so horrible at cooking you'd think he's trying to poison you) but would try cook for you anyways. I just really love butlers too.. he's so sweet when you romance him, he'd defy everything he dreamt of doing just to simply be with you. He deserves all good things in life, I love you Vishnal. I'm sorry that I'm dating every other boy in the game at the same time (and it'd be every girl too if it let me). I swear that you're my canon end.

shirota

from the game jack jeanne.

Shirota Mitsuki has such a beautiful singing voice.. he's not the best at showing how he loves his friends, but it's completely obvious that he does. His outfits during the game are beautiful, as he often takes female roles or leads in the stage plays in the game. He connected with me as a singer myself, and the interactions he has with the player character are so wholesome. In the game he realises the protagonist is in fact a girl (hiding in an boys-only acting school) but takes it upon himself to play an even more convincing women to hide her secret on stage.

books

the magic fish

by trung le nguyen

This book by Trung Le Nguyen resonated so heavily with me as an Australian Vietnamese. The author himself is an American Vietnamese with parents who were refugees. The book is about a boy trying to teach his mother English through fairytales and trying to communicate through them him coming out. Each fairytale felt magical to read, I never knew there was a Vietnamese version of Cinderella before reading this book.The visuals were all made by Trung Le Nguyen himself and they're stunning. What impressed me the most was connecting the story of The Little Mermaid to the struggles many Vietnamese have faced- leaving their country to a whole new, more ideal world at the cost of being unable to communicate to anyone because of the language barrier.

the prince and the dressmaker

by jen wang

This book brought me to tears, it follows a genderqueer prince who loves to dress up with wigs, make-up and dresses- all the while playing the perfect prince with his family. The dressmaker is the only one who knows his true self and supports him, making his beautiful outfits. This book by Jen Wang is all about self-acceptance.I love how happy the prince is when he gets to be himself, and the flourishing friendship between him and the dressmaker. He defies everything and shows his true identity to the entire world, and becomes accepted for it. I related to it as another genderqueer person who loves to dress up. This book has made me insurmountably happy.

galaxy: the prettiest star

by jadzia axelrod

With an alien as the main character I resonated with this one a lot. It follows an alien who is one of the last remaining of her species, to protect her identity she must masquerade as a human boy on Earth and go to high school- yes, even hiding her gender. This entire book is about self-acceptance and loving ones true self.It has such bright and fun visuals. I love how the character as a teenage boy was so accepted in society, even being lead of the highschool basketball team. When she comes out as herself, it's not shown as easy at all. She gets rejected, looked down upon and even her closest friend leaves her. But she finds a girl who accepts her just as she is who loves her; even if she is an alien, even if she is a girl and even if she is queer.
