✿ 25 creating and storytelling (kinda)✿

[melonjelllo]

Hello! I'm melonjelllo! This is my art blog where I occasionally reblog random things (most likely fandom content if I'm being honest). I'm keeping the art on here specific to a personal project I'm working on called The Lunar Café! It's a slice-of-life world/story thing where you get to see what the characters are up to. I'll post updates about the website I'm working on for this project! You also might see random writing things on here because writing is fun.

Below are links to the characters or specifically art vs writing posts bc tag menus are honestly super helpful for me personally.

April’s Rewards are up! The theme is my OG boy Eden <3 He turned out so much better than I could’ve hoped for! I was worried while working on him, but it turned out great!!

Bea’s birthday is tomorrow so i wanted to celebrate with an illustration about how she celebrates her birthday: cozy games and chatting with the people she cares about most 🖤

Last year had the highest highs and lowest lows in rapid succession that I ever experienced. It was a wild year for sure. But I drew so much more than I thought I could and entered a new fandom (hello Hermitcraft fans!) I participated in a whopping 4 zines, totaling 18 pieces (all minecraft related, duh). Most of the pieces are not featured here bc i don’t have the space but you should check them out on my tumblr anyways. Spent a lot of time with friends and A TON traveling (way more than i anticipated, but it was amazing! very surreal honestly). Lived a life most people would dream of, but also felt the most lost and like i’m falling behind. Still figuring stuff out, but hey. isn’t that just life. Still learning about what matters. Only have two big goals this year (one art related, one personal) and the rest is to just make it day to day and figure stuff out as I go. Here’s to the start of another year and taking it one day at a time💖

I lined up all the previous years which you can see below the break.

This month’s rewards! Chat, I think I cooked with this one.

You can check the 🔗 for tiers and wallpapers! Cappuccino and up is wallpapers and Latte is both the sticker and wallpaper!

If you didn’t see last month’s, I’m doing the Lunar Cafe characters whose birthday is the next month so by the time you get the sticker, it is that character’s birthday month!

It was fun to really think about what sort of things Bea likes. I haven’t drawn her too much yet, but her style is making me nostalgic.

November sketchbook scans for Cappuccino tier and up are posted on ko-fi!

See them and previous months here -> Sketchbook Scans

[melonjelllo]

Rewards for this month on ko-fi! 5 Wallpapers for Cappuccino Tier and up and 1 vinyl sticker for Latte Tier! I’ve decided that this next year, the monthly designs will be themed around the Lunar Cafe character whose birthday is the next month. Ex. Pepper’s birthday is in January, so she is December’s design. This lets the sticker club get the sticker the month of the character’s birthday.

New wallpapers and sticker design released for this month! Sorry the November rewards are so late ;_; You can get them here -> https://ko-fi.com/s/72205c520d

The stickers will be mailed at the beginning of next month to Latte members! As a side note though, I will be going and adding the leftover stickers to the member shop for the holidays so even if you aren’t a Latte member, you can buy previous stickers soon 👀

A little late to the party because i was out of town, but I can finally post the finished illustration I did for the @rendogzine ! I had the pleasure of doing a piece for Misadventures ✨

This was such an amazing opportunity, and such a blessing to get to work along side so many incredibly talented artists and writers 💖 The pdf of the whole zine is available for free! FREE!! Please go download it and check out all the people who worked very hard to put this thing together. MASSIVE thank you to the moderators for running and organizing all of this!

(Also, Ren already saw this and I’m??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH almost cried it’s surreal)

Meet the artist since it’s birthday time!

DUN DUHDUH DUN🎉 I have k0-f1 member🚢s now!! There are 3 tiers to pick from that you can see on the last slide or below!

If you’re thinking, this is a little early in your artist career to be doing this, you are absolutely right! But I wanted to make a space that I felt like I could post any and all of my cringe fandom art without worrying about the entire internet seeing it. This also gives me a space to post little behind the scenes stuff like thumbnails and characters designs that just never make it to my social media accounts.

Anyways, this months rewards are two digital items and a sticker depending on the tier! I also created, and am currently uploading, a backlog of art so you have something waiting for you when you join 🌷

I just want to go ahead and thank all of you for being here and supporting my work by just looking at it on instagram. You guys are literally the coolest ✨

🥐Espresso Shot🥐 (Tip Jar): $1 ~ Exclusive shop items, early access to YouTube videos (art and gaming), monthly newsletter and updates

☕️Cappuccino☕️ (Digital Rewards): $3 ~ Behind the scenes of my art, monthly sketchbook pdfs, exclusive polls, occasional digital downloads, rewards from previous tiers

⭐️Latte⭐️ (Sticker Club): $6 ~ Exclusive monthly sticker, rewards from previous tiers

Sorry for not posting casual Lunar Cafe art lately. I’ve been busy with zines, art fight, and shop updates this month. But I miss my children so I’ll try to draw them more often. Anyways, Enjoy Rosa, Tobias, and Eden watching a scary conspiracy documentary while camping 🛸
