Hello! My name is Aly/Paintdust. I specialize in really friggin cute, nostalgic, and whimsical art. Thanks for finding me~

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 To start June off strong, I drew my own gay idiots and colored it in the style of the Green Yuri covers because I’m obsessed with the series and art style AAAAAGH.

I am in fact writing a comic featuring these two… just a reminder. In case you like them. They may not look like they love each other here, but trust the process: they have a happy end game (eventually).

Anyways, you’re early so stan Jara (Jessie and Tara)

First page layout done⁉️ AHHHHHGGHH. I know it’s out of context, but it’s such a cool moment and I wanted to show you. I also finally figured out the design for “the Wolf.” 👀

If you want more info on what the heck this is about, I set up a Patreon with all updates currently free! I’ll be posting extra world lore, character sketches and progress art for the time being when I have it. Here it is ♡

I’ve been wanting to draw Tara in a lil black and red vest/tie type outfit for so long. I feel like this is how she feels in her head when she plays music lol.

Yippeeee, finished another ref page so I’ll post another character this week: this is Gavin! He’s been next door neighbors and besties with Sonny since they were in elementary school. Gavin is full of enthusiasm and energy but he doesn’t always do great when it comes to finishing his homework. He’s a big fan of sick guitar riffs and cool dinosaurs though.

“This is sandpit turtle” or whatever Oli Sykes keeps yelling at me || I’ve been joking for months about drawing this variant of my turtle sandbox sticker so I finally did it 💅

[paintdust]

I drew my emo girl as a Varwolf in an attempt at some early 2000s scene kid art style and had the time of my life. I LOVE VARWOLF.

[paintdust]

We’ll carry on 🗡️✨

I love this specific stage outfit of Gerard’s and I’m in a knight and armor loving era so I put their discography on shuffle and drew this in like 24 hours oops I HOPE YALL LIKE IT. New print coming IMMEDIATELY.

[paintdust]

Gonna try to share a new character weekly with yall because I’m trying to find their audience 🫡

🗣️ This is SONNY! He’s the youngest (and shortest) member of the band. Very calm and reserved. Makes sure practice runs ON TIME. His older bro drives them around a lot since he’s the only one with a set of wheels so practice is usually at their house. Sonny doesn’t really care for drama and would rather not be involved with those that instigate it. Dips out when things get heated and he can’t fix it. When he isn’t behind the drum kit, they can be found playing old video games and scrolling Internet forums.

Just a little art update for my character mascots ♡ ☆ ♡

Estelle-Dustine (Dust) and her magical sidekick Palette!

Just a portrait of my magical girlie Estelle-Dustine (Dust) ♡ ☆ She’s been my brand mascot since 2018 and it’s been fun to watch her evolve.

🗣️ An enemies to lovers emo and cheerleader⁉️

Yes, and I won’t shut up about them. 🖤💚

I’d say a comic is coming soon but this is going to take me so long lol. A Patreon or Ko-fi is in the cards so I can share more updates about the project in one place. For the time being, I hope you enjoy the art ♡

Oh, to be a little Pikmin playing in a discarded tin can filled with water right now.

The year is 2026 but I’m actually just gonna bring back 2006 instead hope that’s cool with everyone.

Yall I fear we aren’t getting that 9th episode, but maybe this will help make up for it. As someone who 1. Did radio in college 2. Is writing a story with an abandoned radio tower currently and 3. Loves Robin Buckley, I was obligated to make this. AAAAAAAA

First illustration of the year all done 🎉 I just really love Pomni and the insane art and horror of this show.
