Hello! I'm Ava otherwise known as avaciil. I'm an LGBTQIA+ neurodivergent artist that likes to draw cute characters that are original and from anime or game series that I personally enjoy. I sell a variety of fanmerch such as prints, charms, and stickers at in-person conventions and online on Etsy/Ko-fi! On top of being an artist, I'm also a bunny vtuber on Twitch with chill, comfy/cozy vibes with some gremlin energy. I'm a variety streamer that leans more towards playing survival/horror games, as well open-world RPGs, sandbox, and FPS.Thanks for dropping by my website!

F.A.Q.

- Where is your username from?
my username comes from "ava" and "ciel" (sky in french). i used to get "ie" and "ei" mixed up, so i just remedied that by putting two i's (smart right!?!?!). also i think i had a habit of putting any two of the same letter together within my previous usernames, so i wanted to continue the trend. and no, my username is not associated with or inspired by a music artist.- What's with the rabbit?
the rabbit is based off a character i made when i used to needle-felt. i got those daiso packs that gave you colors and i played around with it and wow! i made a cute lil bunny. i didn't give the bunny any arms cause i got lazy (and totally didn't run out of material). i did make it a mascot briefly, but never formally represented the bunny outside of cards featuring my commission info in 2017. anyways they're back and now they're my brand mascot.- When/What's your next event?
keep track of my instagram for updates on cons i'm planning on going to! i also try to do my best to update in the catalogue page- Will you restock XXX?
if it's within my interest to do so! you're free to inquire about specific products through my etsy or my email.- What do you use to draw?
procreate on the ipad pro 11 (1st gen) & apple pen (2nd gen). i make adjustments and/or color corrections on clips studio paint/adobe photoshop cs6. to livestream art, i use reflector 4.

About Me

Hello! I'm Ava otherwise known as avaciil. I'm an LGBTQIA+ artist based in San Diego, California. I primarily focus in character art and illustrations. I draw original and fanart alike, mostly taking inspiration from my favorite video games and media. Some fandoms include Fromsoft games (Dark souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, etc.), gacha games (Arknights, Hoyoverse), Resident Evil, and more. I sell a variety of original and fan merch such as charms, pins, prints, and stickers at conventions and online. I started my store at the beginning of 2023 and started tabling that October. I'm constantly striving to improve and expand my store. On top of being an artist, I'm also a variety streamer on Twitch as an animated bunny Vtuber. I have made many custom assets for other streamers and content creators.Thanks for taking the time to check out my portfolio! You can find my online storefront here.

Disclaimer: The below portfolio is geared towards my storefront and convention set-up. I have additional artwork that displays my digital work format better here.

Ava Character Reference

A powerful magician that is able to conjure magic without the use of a medium. Ava is the head of the magician's tower and their skills come with an ego to match. Their experimentation with magic had led them to turn into a rabbit for quite some time. Upon their return to human form, they have been able to manipulate magic in a way that allows them to change their form at will as well as traverse different times and spaces.
