Chiioko

My new enamel pin is up for Pre-Order!

I had been working on this design as a last minute thought, back in September and first week of October. I struggled with the design a bit, but I'm happy with the result! I used my cat, BB, who is a runt, for reference for the pose. I should have the pins by hopefully this weekend. There are 4 variants, one plain pumpkin with silver metal, and three fun jack-o-lantern faces with gold! I couldn't decide on which face was cuter, so I went with all three!

Hey, guys! I've been getting some new followers lately, so I wanted to re-introduce myself. I know this is long, so don't feel pressured to read lol.

My name is Alex; she/her! My handles are mostly Chiioko online, mostly for convenience/I've had it for so long, but my name is Alexandria Trevena. I'm an artist living in NJ. I haven't shared my face publicly, since maybe 2018; I am extremely shy when it comes to it!

I love creative, entertainment consumption-- mostly music and video games, especially if it has creepy undertones or antique/vintage aesthetics. My favorite franchises are Fallout, Alien, MGS, anything wasteland or sci-fi thriller/horror related. My hobbies include weight-lifting, long walks, taking photos of nature, occasional running, camping, crafts, deep-diving into topics, and any random activity that peaks my interest at the time. Fun fact and highlight of my life: my partner and I went on a US roadtrip back in 2021... we saved up a few grand and slept in a rented van and ate canned food for 3 weeks! It was very fun and I miss those days a lot. It was the first time I've really ever left NJ. In spare time, I absolutely love the beach and waterways, I am an archivist volunteer at my local historical society, and I love to meet new people and socialize. However, I am an ambivert, so I'm either riding the high of parties or cuddling all of the blankets and pillows on my couch. My partner and I also have an entire Fallout themed living room, since that's how we met each other and we also love it! You may find me on 76 as Chiioko, but I'm pretty shy with online gaming!

I have an Etsy, that has all of my products featured below! But I also am planning on doing way more detailed art. I'm rebuilding my inventory after a long hiatus, which is why I've been spamming my online store! (Sorry haha). I am trying to get back into shows as well!

What you can expect from my online presence moving forward... Is a lot of Fallout art, a lot of wasteland OCs and mini comics of them, detailed finished work, more Halloween & Valentine centered art, and even some Alien illustrations. I recently joined a local comic club, to help encourage me to start finally making my own comics... I would really love to do that! My first attempt, will most likely be my fallout inspired wasteland comic-- all online and for free.

Thanks for checking my art out and supporting it! Make sure to check my "likes" section on my Tumblr; I like to show off other artists' work as well that way.

Hey, guys! 🎃👻

I'm doing a little fun thing over on instagram, if any would like to join in! I also wanted to show off these fun photos I took using my Halloween decor at home. Hope you all have a happy Fallout Day!!

My other new sticker, is also available in my shop!

🎃 I just shared these two new stickers designs to my shop. She's one of many others I'll be sharing in the next month or so. I hope you love her as much as I do! I am also working on a cute werewolf girl, to match her. Along with other fun halloween and harvest themed things!

Hey, guys! I just would like to share a few exciting things. I lowered my die-cut sticker prices down to -22%!

Selling my art again has been a pretty big adjustment and learning curve for me, as I last actively sold my art back in 2016. So they've been going up and down here and there. I've been trying to not charge too much with the climate rn, but also don't want to lower my prices too much and hurt myself and other artists. I also have to take in mind online fees and time spent on my pieces. With my prices online, I am looking forward to offering lower prices in person at shows, since I won't be losing a percentage from hosting fees. Which brings to the next announcement...

I'm selling at shows again!

Today’s going to be the last day for free shipping in my online art store :)

So if you’ve been eyeing these for a while, I would definitely snag them while you can! My shipping will be going up to $3.50-$4.00 tomorrow. I really find free shipping to be important, but it has been digging into my profit way too much with the recent cost increase. I hope you can understand 💕

Thank you for your support! It really has been driving me. 💗

There is more art to come, along with more of my original art prints.

💘 Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘

I made my cc art into a little Valentine’s Day inspired pin and sticker 🥺❤️🧸

Not reaaaaally valentines related, but I love making cute and love-related things around February!

My cute-ified art of comrade chubs from fallout 76. I have the plush of him irl and I couldn’t resist. I had the hardest time with his proportions lol.

Here’s my other effect, ‘Stoplight effect’. I have the original lineart floating around somewhere, and drew it on translucent paper on my light tablet. As printing out a sketch in photoshop and working over that is my usual process for bigger pieces. I included that sketch, along with a little hand ref I used. I hope you enjoy this piece too! Thanks for all of the love on my other LampLight piece. I’d love to do more Yume Nikki fan art again.

I also included the alternative version below, that was on my instagram, without the cave coloring. As this scene in the game’s background is kind of hard to draw. So I like the more abstract version too. :)

👻🦇Happy Halloween!🎃🐈‍⬛

My final posting of my illustrations from my sticker sheet :)

I personally love my Frankenstein super mutant.
