My Bio

My name is Paulette Arochena and I'm a freelance artist based in the United Kingdom. I specialise in digitally painting cute and whimsical characters that warm the heart but also like to throw myself challenges at other things now and again. I'm currently focusing on developing my animation skills, streaming on twitch and working on commissions. I’m always looking for ways to improve my work and love to experiment with different aspects of the subject all the time. If you fancy throwing me some challenges, by all means send me a note with suggestions, although the best way to reach me at the moment, is live on Twitch. You can also find updated items for sale here.

Tools of the Trade

Photoshop CC with a Wacom Cintiq & iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil

Mass Purge

2 min read

Hey all, I just wanted to explain my reasons for generally removing every one of my pieces here. I've kept the emotes I made specifically for DA so other people could interact with each other, but other than that... I am SO DONE with DA with the latest piece of news they've just released surrounding AI art. Not only did they spring this up on us out of the blue, but they also OPTED EVERYONE IN!!!! So every single deviation could have been used for the AI to learn from and then somebody could come along and type that they wanted something in a particular users style and BOOM... new AI art for them. DA made it almost as difficult as possible to opt out of it that they not only made it so that people had to individually go into each piece to say no (around 300 art pieces for me), but they also had a disclaimer that said: 'Flag this deviation to inform third parties that you do not authorise it being included in datasets used to train machine learning or artificial intelligence

Wow! It's been almost 5 years since I've properly been on here! So much has happened and I've made so much art that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to properly update everything!!^^; I'll attempt to update at least some of my recent work, but you can see my portfolio on my website.:love:
