I guide independent character designers from feeling invisible and overshadowed to becoming confident, community-building traditional artists who thrive online.

  • You’re ready to build a community around your art, but you don’t know where to start.

  • You’re tired of slogging through tedious industry standard character design tutorials that lead to same-y & generic designs.

  • Youre worried about AI taking meaning out of the work you put online.

  • You want to create characters that truly connect with people, but you don’t know how.

My expedition through mental health challenges led me to discover the power of character art for self expression and the joy of community building.

Now, I'm here to show you my unique process for infusing a lil’ charm and whimsy into your worldbuilding projects.

Hi there, I’m Aleo!

I’m a character artist and designer with a love for crafting cute monsters with traditional ink illustration. Read my full bio here.

I’ve spent the last few years studying how generative AI is reshaping art and social media, and I can say with confidence that independent character designers have nothing to fear - if they put the right strategies into practice.

The real edge comes from two things AI can’t replicate: your lived perspective, and usage of traditional art mediums.
