Just an average fan with a transcending trash level ٩( ᐛ )و I’m 18+, but don’t worry, my blog’s generally SFW unless I say otherwise in a post! (Please note that I strictly, STRICTLY forbid the feeding of any of my works into AI)
Is this your first time here? Have no worries! I'll tell you more about it!
My pseudonym’s AltoAria, but please address me as Aria (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) You might know me as the artist for the Virtual Hug series for TGAA and KNY. I actually have a first welcome post, but I decided to post another one since this blog's gaining traction (and my first post is outdated).
If you're only here for my master list, it is right here!
Also, please look at my permissions linked here before using any of my works!
Otherwise, keep reading if you want to know more about me.

I’m a digital artist and writer who dabbles in fan fiction writing. That being said, however, I'm still not certain about posting writings onto this blog yet. My blog is mostly SFW, but when I dabble into darker themes such as psychological horror and existential crises (which will definitely be posted at some point), I will put a 'minors DNI' warning at the top of the post, followed by a list of content warnings. While I can and do write suggestive content, I do not write explicit smut, so don't expect the latter from me unless I somehow change my mind.
As of now, I am focused on creating fan content for Kimetsu no Yaiba and Honkai: Star Rail! However, I am also a fan of The Great Ace Attorney, My Hero Academia, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, and Pokemon Sword and Shield, so you might see content for these series. I have also drawn fan art for Helix Waltz before (so you can search for that tag if you're interested), but those were the days when I was still using traditional media. _(:3」∠)_
My current list of favourite characters (I still love many other characters but these are at the top of my list):
Honaki: Star Rail: Dr Veritas Ratio, Aventurine, Sunday
FYI, I am an OC creator! I like creating OCs and writing/drawing about them interacting with canon characters (sometimes ship them too), and I also like looking at other people's OC creations when I have the time. I do have a brainrot for KNY right now, and I will most definitely post about my KNY OCs at some point, so feel free to DM me if you want to talk about our KNY OCs. ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭♡
As much as I'd love to consistently update this blog, I am also busy with university and internships, so please note that updates might be irregular.
Anyways, that's all I have to say so far! Glad to have you here, and let's have some fun together! (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡
Had to recreate my favourite moment from KNY Season 4 Episode 2 in sticker form 🙃
Anyways, it's been a long while ever since I've posted anything, hasn't it? Not sure how much more I'll be posting, but I'll be sticking around for a while since I've got some free time for now! Hopefully I'll be able to draw and post more things for the next few months ᕠ( ᐛ )ᕤ
Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 6/6 (Koyuki, Michikatsu and Yoriichi)
And that’s a wrap! Here is the final set of virtual hugs that I will be drawing for the KNY characters ( ＾∀＾) These were the original list of characters I wanted to draw for, so if I decide that I wanna draw for a character I missed out on, I’ll do it when I have the time.
Thank you guys so much for following me on this Virtual Hug journey thus far ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ There will likely be more projects coming, including some stuff from a KNY AU I’m creating with a friend of mine, so do look forward to it!

Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 5/6 (Tamayo, Yushiro, Kanae, Aoi and Senjuro)
It’s been a bit too long since my last post, hasn’t it? Anyways, here’s the fifth set of virtual hugs starring Tamayo, Yushiro, Kanae, Aoi and Senjuro!
Apologies for the long wait! I’ve been pretty busy with a lot of commitments for the past couple of months and didn’t get to really draw any of these cuties (;_;) However, I now have some free time for a short while, so I hope to be able to complete the next and (likely) last set before the semester starts again and all the commitment starts to pile up _(:3」z)_

“When Hantengu splits into his emotion clones for the umpteenth time, they are horrified to discover that Urogi has become tiny, blob-like, and… lazy?! Join Sekido, Karaku, Aizetsu and Hantengu on their chaotic adventures as they try their best to take care of the unmotivated Guderogi, all while attempting to figure out why he became like this and how to turn him back into his energetic self!”
Warning: this series is incredibly OOC. If seeing a no-energy Urogi, happy Aizetsu and Tsundere Sekido creeps you out, this series is not for you _(:3 」∠)_
For those of you who are unaware, here’s a link of Takeuchi Shunsuke (Urogi’s JP VA) voicing Gudetama, which was my main source of inspiration. Parts of this comic’s conversation are also from the Netflix series.
Welcome to Vernon’s diaries. Well he’s my Pokémon scarlet/violet OC, a literature/theatre arts instructor in Naranja/Uva academy. His references & Pokémon team are in the following pictures 😉
I have an OCxCanon ship with him & Saguaro, the home economics instructor (PinkStarSweetsShipping), so it’s going to be a mix of both. Text & drawings/commissions of him and the pairing will be here on Tumblr.
Finally completed the main demons from the series! This one took a long while compared to the rest… _(:3 」∠)_
The next set(s) of Virtual Hugs will now be done at my own pace, and I won’t reveal the exact list of characters I plan to draw. Do look forward to it, along with other projects that I have in mind!

(This applies to any usage of my works starting from 26 June 2023.)
If you’ve found this post, chances are that you plan on using one or more of my works for your blogs, or personal use. Well, here are some of the things to take note of before using them!
HUGE NO-NOs include (meaning I forbid any of these):
Removing my watermark from any of my works (this can be discussed on a case-by-case basis, but please PM me, give me the reason why you want to remove the watermark, ask for permission, and let me provide said permission first before removing anything),
Removing my watermark from my works, slapping your own watermark onto it and claiming my works to be yours,
Editing (including cropping) straight from my works and claiming the entire edited work to be yours,
Feeding any of my works into AI for any reasons (including but not limited to churning out an ending for my stories, or putting my works through an AI filter),
Commercial usage of my works.
Things I allow include:
Using any of my works or ideas I’ve mentioned on this blog as references or inspiration (if and ONLY if you credit me),
Cropping of my artworks (if and ONLY if you credit me),
Editing of my artworks (if and ONLY if you credit me)
Quoting of my writings (if and ONLY if you credit me),
Just reposting of my works with no edits to the repost whatsoever, since I already forbid the removal of my watermark (you are encouraged to credit me and link the repost back to my account! But in this specific case, crediting is optional).
As of writing this set of permissions, I’ve already seen some blogs use some of my works (especially the KNY Virtual Hugs). As of now, I haven’t seen any issues with the ways my works have been used, which might be due to the fact that I haven’t posted a lot of content. Hence, if, by chance, any of the huge no-nos happened before 26 June 2023, I will let it slide since I didn’t let you guys know of these permissions. However, this will not be the case after and inclusive of 26 June 2023.
Anyways, that’s all from me! Thanks for reading this post ٩( ᐛ )و
I love your art style! The way you draw kny characters is adorable!
Thank you! (*≧∀≦*) I actually draw in a couple of styles, but the chibi style is definitely my favourite to draw in.
Look forward to seeing more KNY stuff from me since I’m on a brain rot right now, especially regarding the Hantengu clones. _(:3 」∠)_ But don’t worry, my main priority right now is definitely the Virtual Hugs Series.
I was in the midst of working on the virtual hugs and all, but then I found out that Shunsuke Takeuchi (Urogi’s Japanese VA) also voices Gudetama in the Netflix Series “Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure”, which is insane in and of itself…
… so here’s a lazy Urogi just chilling on a cloud for you guys. (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) Feel free to save or repost the image!
Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 3/? (Hashira)
… I can’t even begin to tell you guys the number of hours it took for me to complete all 9 Hashiras, BUT I DID IT. ٩( ᐛ )و I know they’re all smiling, but I hope they aren’t too OOC?
Next set of virtual hugs will be Muzan + Upper Moons + Rui + Enmu… which is going to probably take even longer than the Hashiras, so be prepared for that to only be released in three weeks or even a month, depending on how much time I have _(:3 」∠)_
As usual, feel free to save, repost or use the gifs on your blogs! I’ve seen some people online use my gifs, and it makes me really happy when you guys do so. (*≧∀≦*)
Will we be getting the hashira virtual hugs! I have a friend who lost her mother recently who loves Nemi! I’d love to bless her with a Nemi hug!
No rush I was just curious if we’d get more besides the clones!
Yes! The Hashiras will be posted next once I’m done with them, though it will take some time since there are 9 of them _(:3 」∠)_
For those who are wondering about the lineup, it’s currently: Kamaboko Squad, Hantengu Clones, Hashiras, Muzan + Upper Moons + Rui + Enmu, Others (to my own discretion)
Originally, the Hashiras were supposed to be posted second after the Kamaboko Squad, but then the clones came out with a bang in Season 3 and I wanted to create them first ٩( ᐛ )و Stay tuned for more!
Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 2/? (Hantengu’s Emotion Clones)
This is to celebrate the reveal of Zohakuten, and also for those who are experiencing withdrawal from not seeing the other four (like me, but especially with Urogi). 🫠 Hantengu himself will be released together with the rest of the UMs at a later date.
Originally, the Hashiras were going to be the second set on the list, but since Episode 7 was just released I decided to change the plans a bit. Don’t worry, though; all 9 Hashiras will be coming up next!
Feel free to save, repost or use the gifs on your blogs! More coming soon. 🤩
(On a side note, I might end up writing an angst fic involving Hantengu, his clones and a male OC but we’ll see about it 👀)
Kimetsu no Yaiba Virtual Hug Project: 1/? (Kamaboko Squad)
Hey! I’m not dead! It’s been 10 months since I’ve posted, but I’m finally back! … For a while, at least. I’ve been into KNY for a few years now, but Season 3 kinda rekindled my passion for the series once again, so here’s a new virtual hug project set! 😃
This project was originally started with The Great Ace Attorney series (you can find it on my page, actually!), but I thought the concept was really cute, so I decided to do this for some characters from KNY too. 🙃
Feel free to save, repost or use the gifs on your blogs. More coming soon! 🥳
So remember how around 2 months ago I posted a set of Ryunosuke chibi emotes and said I was going to complete the rest of the characters too? Well…:
1. I got to drawing the next character (Susato) and I suddenly realised that drawing 16 of the same expressions on every character is not only going to be a bore, but also tedious. I ended up just drawing 3 expressions each except for Ryunosuke who already has 16 done, so I picked 6 expressions which I liked for him. Also I decided to add Gina too!
2. Around the same time, classes and club activities started to pick up, which is why I completed this only now. Commitments are piling up, so my update schedule will probably still be as irregular as it is now. There’s even a chance I might have to go on a ridiculously long hiatus at some point. I apologise for that!
Also, feel free to edit and use any of these as icons or stickers (credit is always appreciated)! I’ll probably crop out the Dead Herlock icon and use that at some point myself…
