"Aster" was a name that funnily enough came from an amazing friend of mine when trying to name my Among Us OC. She was named Aster because of asteroids. When I stopped playing the game, I designed the Aster I use know and repurposed the name since I grown a little attached to it.
"Blue" simply comes from the fact that I the color blue has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. Plus the first character I ever made was named Blue.
Here's the original Aster
I currently use Clip Studio Paint (CSP), but I do occasionally use Procreate when I need a traveling canvas. I used to solely use MediBang Paint for about 4-5 years before switching to Procreate for about 2 years. I switched to CSP in 2021 and it's GREAT!
As for how I draw, I use my fingers on Procreate and a small Wacom Intuos pen tablet on CSP.

It mostly depends on how much is going into the piece, how inspired I am, and if general life stuff comes up. I usually take anywhere from 3 to 10 hours per piece. I also tend to break work up over a day or two unless it's a much larger project or something I'm not used to.
In regards to commissions and art trades: For commissions, I'll have the piece(s) done within 1 to 2 weeks of agreeing to the work and for art trades, I'll have it done within 1 week of you finishing your side of the trade.
