You may call me
Ciph, or Deci!

I’m a digital artist of mixed Japanese and Brazilian heritage. I speak Portuguese fluently and have some knowledge of English and Japanese.I’ve taken a few art courses, but much of what I know about digital art comes from being self-taught. At the moment, I’m not in a position to pursue specialized programs or university studies, though I hope to professionalize in multiple areas of art in the future.For now, I work within my current means, creating illustration, animation, voice acting, RPG Maker games, and narrative projects at an amateur level, doing what I can with the resources and experience I have.

Personal Limitations

If you’ve ever tried reaching out to me and received no reply, or felt “ghosted”, please know it isn’t out of disregard. It’s something far more complicated than it seems... I struggle daily to create while living with diagnoses such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalized and Social Anxiety, Depression, and Dyscalculia. These are not badges to display, nor shields for excuses, but real limitations that shape how I connect, work, and live.Sometimes, this means withdrawing from conversations, social platforms, or even public life itself, deliberate retreats, not neglect.Physically, my resilience is fragile, and I fall ill easily, which slows down my workflow as well.My mind is a meticulous analyst, constantly weighing every word, gesture, and possible outcome because of OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism. This becomes mentally draining, even simple tasks can be exhausting, and my self-imposed pressure to deliver something worthy often delays my work far more than I intend.So if you’ve been patient, even in silence, please know it never goes unnoticed. While my responses may come late or sound brief, as expressing myself isn’t easy, they are always thoughtful and sincere.This is not a plea for sympathy, nor a confession of weakness, but a clear statement of how I function. I want to be as transparent as possible.Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to read this.
If you still choose to trust and believe in my work, I am deeply grateful.

Support

I’m a full-time freelance artist working to build my own independence. Right now, I live in a difficult environment that limits my freedom and privacy, but I’m doing everything I can to move forward and create a life that truly belongs to me. Every piece of art I make is a small step toward that goal, toward stability, peace, and the chance to live freely.If you’d like to support my work beyond commissions, any amount is deeply appreciated. Even the smallest tip helps cover daily essentials and care for my pets, who depend on this work as much as I do.If you enjoy what I do and want to help me keep going, thank you.
You’re part of the reason this dream is still alive.✦ May God bless you for your contribution ✦

𝑽𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆, 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝑷𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓My works explore psychological, dark, and sensitive themes intended for a mature audience (16+). Even with a soft or colorful aesthetic, the focus lies on psychological horror, inner conflict, trauma, and emotional deterioration.⬩ Possible Themes ⬩
⬩ Physical and psychological violence
⬩ Manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional abuse
⬩ Depression, self-harm, and suicide
⬩ Blood, cannibalism, and murder
⬩ Substance addiction
⬩ Taboo topics (Rarely)⬩ Content Boundaries ⬩
⬩ No explicit sexual content or graphic nudity
⬩ No eroticization of minors
⬩ No eroticization of violence or abuse
⬩ Taboo subjects appear only with narrative purposeThese themes are used to discuss suffering, vulnerability, exploitation, and loss of identity. The intention is critical reflection, not glamorization or aestheticization of trauma.⬩ About My Characters ⬩
Many characters display obsessive, distorted, or self-destructive behaviors. These traits represent trauma and psychological fragmentation, not moral ideals. Even when a character seems charismatic or sympathetic, they are not written as role models or justifications for harmful actions.⬩ Personal Note ⬩
My works are fictional, and discomfort is part of the genre I choose to explore.
My intent is not to cause distress, but to examine the human psyche and portray emotional collapse in a symbolic, sometimes caricatured form.My artistic perspective is influenced by my upbringing in Japan, which shapes how I approach symbolism, emotional conflict, and certain dark themes.
This influence does not reflect approval of harmful acts, but an aesthetic and narrative tradition that treats difficult subjects directly and critically.Engaging with dark themes does not imply supporting them.
In real life, I avoid anything explicit, vulgar, or shock-oriented, and my art is not an invitation to discuss sensitive topics carelessly or without responsibility.⬩ Final Notice ⬩
Even with a colorful and delicate appearance, my work can be emotionally intense. If you are underage or sensitive to the topics listed, I recommend not proceeding.Do not assume my personal views based on what my stories explore, dark themes do not reflect real-life beliefs or support for harmful actions.

⬩ Had an issue commissioning me? ⬩

If you have experienced delays or silence during your commission process, I want to clarify the situation:These pauses are not due to neglect or lack of interest. They stem from personal challenges that affect my workflow.I have been diagnosed with OCD, Generalized and Social Anxiety, and Mild Depression. These conditions affect my consistency and energy. Perfectionism and intrusive thoughts often slow my progress or cause temporary withdrawal from social media and communication.This is not an excuse, but an explanation. I apologize if your experience felt incomplete or unprofessional. Your patience is appreciated.If delays occur, you may request one of the following:⬩ Partial refund: a partial refund depending on progress.⬩ Extra artwork: a simpler compensatory artwork after completion, at my discretion.I remain committed to delivering quality work despite these challenges. Trust that your commission is treated with care, and I ask only for your understanding if unexpected issues arise.
