Sickle

Open Hours 9AM - 9PM

  About:
   Hello, I'm Mish. I've been making art for 20+ years, started really doing art when I was 9 or 10 (2005 or 2006), doing digital art a bit seriously or a mix in like around either 2015 or 2016. Before that, I did mostly traditional art. My art style depends on the amount of effort I put in or overall designing characters are my strong suit, still working on improving my skills. I went by various usernames in the past which are just variations of the same name, changing to names of characters that I find relatable at the time. Or what I feel at the moment, in which I feel the username I have right now is just right, more or less. I mostly draw for myself nowadays.
  Personality:
   A friend said this to me while we were watching TADC at the time (I think?) & he said that internally I'm like Gangle (overthinking crybaby), but externally I'm like Zooble (serious but caring) or in vice versa. This I find to be somewhat accurate, even though all the characters in the show are relatable to me in some aspects. lol Idk, I'm normally chill unless someone says or does something really stupid (I mean REALLY stupid), when I'm WAY too stressed out or placed in stressful sitches that aren't really my responsibility to manage (not my circus, not my clowns basically), & goes against my own morals, so I'm kinda straight-laced within reason. Sometimes too kind/polite, somewhat reliable, &/or serious for my own good, at times to the point someone finds me easy to poke or take advantage of (not fun). Normally quiet & I don't speak unless spoken to, I rarely talk 1st or start convos, unless I know you well enough (unlikely in some cases) or take up the courage to speak, & mostly coz I yap a lot (clearly, well I also like to share probably a lil' too much at times, which needs work).

I don't see myself special to even mention this kind of stuff, but as a human being who has needs and wants as everybody else does. I need to bring this to light as I've got quite a number of interactions with people online that I need to say this. Furthermore, I could've said this all before during said interactions, but if you're someone like me… it's hard to be “mean” like this or being assertive in a sense? Doesn't mean I'm not, though…

  Boundaries:
Please don't say “I love you” even when we don't know each other, if you like my work, or we're mutuals/friends, especially if you're younger than me (basically a minor), it's a bit weird, sorry not sorry… (I'm sure you mean well… but I've dealt with a bad hand of people who've done that to me before so I need to make this known or learn to get better with this, like with most things in life...)
(Ironic coming from me but) Don't come to my DMs saying you have a crush on me as I don't know your intentions or if you're being sincere/genuine since most crushes are superficial attraction, misguided infatuation, & just procreational hormones imo. Especially when we're not even friends long enough to even know if we could be patient or tolerate each other like that to actually be natural or a “thing”… Not to mention, that I won't actually reciprocate it & if you can't handle the rejection then… Idk what to tell you, as that's already a red flag imo… You and I can say “No”, consent is a thing y'know?
Don't ship or self-ship my characters, especially if you're a minor, as most of my characters are adults, just don't!
If there is an ounce of like behaviors that I deem toxic or a red flag (especially unhinged and not the funny haha kind), I will drop you as a friend/mutual, with or without warning. How you handle it is your responsibility, not mine, if at all.
Don't send a friend request on my Discord if you're not an actual mutual/friend of mine, or a commission client.
Don't DM me on Discord if you're not an Admin, Mod, or a mutual/friend in the servers I'm on (or even outside of Discord). Plus, I don't talk much unless I like or know you well enough to be comfortable talking with you… (This part is for mutuals/friends or a future partner)
Don't tell or ask me if I'll use or be on social media again… I really don't want to go back there, thanks… Been through enough abuse or toxic stuff to NOT go back there.
I'm a bit mixed on AI, however if you're using Gen AI, then I want nothing to do with you or associate with you. There are ethical ways to use AI & Gen AI isn't one of those, especially taking from creatives & acting like you made the damn thing. Using someone's face or voice for a cheap alternative or for malicious intent isn't okay, either. When they say “Work smarter, not harder” using Gen AI isn't what they meant.
  Review:
MySims: Because of the Chibi-like look of the characters that are appealing to me & preferred more than the actual Sims series of games (no offense, I played the DS version of these games)! Quite fun & I can see the inspirations where they got the style from, like Animal Crossing (which is also a fave)!
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Coz of the cartoon-y anime art style that I liked so much, a bit angular, sharp, & quite stylized for an adult comedy!
Puyo Puyo Series: Similar to P&SwG (style-wise) but a rounder look I feel & an almost rubberhose-like style considering how the limbs look, it's pretty cute for a uh… Tetris-like game series & a visual novel at the same time?
NOX (James Lee): For the use of shading, lighting, just overall composition, & the amount of editing he does to make the NOX character stand out, let alone a silhouette at times. Or just how he makes it work, good character design in terms of branding. Honestly, a genius in how he makes his animations & pretty funny at times with the edgy, ironic, &/or hypocritical satirical social commentary of our society sometimes or internet culture!
Hellsing (Kohta Hirano): The amount of detail that would be considered meticulous (to me) or possibly loose, the shading, playing with lighting (especially on the glasses), & overall love the character designs! Quite an edgy manga &/or anime, not for the faint of heart.
Sonic (Yuji Uekawa): Grew up mostly playing the Sonic games on the GameCube (Adventures 1 & 2, Gems & Mega Collection, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, the Riders series), I loved the art style for the covers, assets, a modern almost rubberhose-like style, & I became a fan ever since (but at a distance, again, no offense)!
The Walten Files (Martin Paredes): Another use of shading with dark colors or more so using the color black at times to give it that depth or shape, in an almost semi-realistic feel & sometimes that uncanny valley-look. A pretty good FNaF inspired or adjacent that doesn't hold back on the horror aspect, which can be edgy ngl, but I like it. A coherent not convoluted (yet) story telling I think, telling a human story 1st with the animatronic stuff being 2nd, & also not for the faint of heart.
Epilogue (I guess? lol): Basically into a lot of like cutesy stuff (like small things or chibi-like stuff), also horror (preferably Psychological Horror like Silent Hill), edgy stuff (mostly coz of 2000s - 2010s nostalgia tbh), cartoon-y styles that I find cool & attractive, I would add more but I think this should suffice, & what styles shows through my own art more or less from these examples.

Made a playlist of songs that I find fitting for me or my persona online (or both really), & I guess the kind of music I'm into? Which still varies a lot... lol

Will add more of these stamps or change them when I have the time or can!

  Favorites:
Favorite Game(s): Psychonauts Series, American McGee's Alice, Alice: Madness Returns, Silent Hill 1/2 (OG & Remake)/3, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Mario RPGs, JRPG Horror, Portal 1-2, Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon SoulSilver, Pokémon Black, Pokémon: Legends of Arceus, House Flipper 1-2, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, RE: Outbreak, RE: 4 (OG & Remake), RE: 2 Remake, RE: 7, RE: 8, DragonQuest Builders 1-2, Devil May Cry 3/4/5, Bayonetta 1/2/3, The Darkness 1-2, Batman: Arkham City, Bloodborne, Little Big Planet 1/2/3, & Okami HD
Favorite Music: This is kinda hard coz I have a very eclectic taste in music, so usually I would listen to whatever sounds good to vibe with, work to, or use to escape (like creating ideas in my head kinda escape). If a song has a good bass, then I would be pretty pleased, but it's not always necessary.
Favorite Movie(s): The Mask (anything Jim Carrey really), The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Enchanted (not Ella Enchanted), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Van Helsing, V for Vendetta, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies, Beetlejuice 1-2 (or just Tim Burton's movies in general), Rango, Disney's 2D Animated movies ( [sighs] ) , (speaking of) A Goofy Movie, An Extremely Goofy Movie, Shrek 1-2 ( [faceplams] lol), & K-Pop Demon Hunters (new to this list)
Favorite TV Show(s): The Nanny, Friends, Seinfeld, Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, The Batman (2004-2008), & Teen Titans (I would add more, but these are TV shows that I would actually watch)
  Likes:
Cool & dark colors (purple, black, blue, red, silver, & gray)
Art & Animation (working on it)
Music & singing (needs some work)
Voice acting (still is a dream of mine)
Working alone (sometimes)
Mythology, Demonology, Eldritch, Meta Physics, & Religion (for story stuff)
Psychological Horror/Thriller, Sci-Fi, Comedy, & Musicals (sometimes)
Single-Player Games (mostly)
Multi-Player Games (only with a group of friends I know or playing by myself)
Listening to or looking at the rain (from the window or just being inside my home, admiring)
Looking at the stars & the Moon (or the nighttime in general)
Sleeping, relaxing, & chilling out
Teas, juice (preferably apple juice), smoothies (mostly choco flavor ones), soda water (like Sparkling Ice or Clear American), soda with caffeine (Pepsi (if there isn't any, any Cola drink is fine), Mountain Dew Baja Blast (& it's variants) & Mtn Dew Voltage), & water.

Gonna preface this, just coz I dislike or that I don't do these things, doesn't mean I hate you for your own preferences or habits, coz that's unreasonable logic. I will tell you straight up that I don't like what you're doing or that I hate you personally, the same should be said in vice versa. I at least have that right or autonomy just like everyone else does, in being mature in handling or having proper communication, & crying over spilled milk is just asinine to some extent when it comes to stuff like this.

  Dislikes:
Warm & bright colors (yellow, gold, & green)
Bitter taste in food & drink (liquor/alcohol, liver, & anything similar)
Drinking, smoking, vaping, or doing drugs
Onions, tomatoes, & raisins in my food (texture-based picky eater)
Mangoes (flavor-wise) & durians (this should be obvious)
Pranks (especially when it goes too far that someone gets hurt)
Bullying (I'm fine with some teasing or light bullying amongst friends or relationships in general, just don't overstep boundaries if we know each other well, yeh?)
Noise Genre of music (It hurts my ears & head, like I'll listen to it if you like it but man... I'm gonna be cringing a bit)
The sunlight or anything too bright (hurts my eyes)
Loud noises (like balloons popping, fireworks (gunshots even), too many people talking at once like in unison (hurt my ears, head, or just tires me out), & thunder)
Getting distracted while working (especially when I'm in hyper-focused/autopilot mode when it's already a stressful environment or situation. Example: Making sandwiches in a fast food job & a co-worker's trying to talk to me...)
Forced conversion or coercion (I don't trust like that & also fuck off)
Mob mentality or one-sided sheeple (not fun)
