WHERE IDEAS
COME TO LIFE.

I'm ARSLANCYAN, a digital artist creating illustrations, character art, memes and animation for online communities, brands and independent projects.

My work combines expressive characters, clean line art, humor and bold color to create visuals that are easy to recognize and fun to remember.

All of my artwork is created using ibisPaint X on a Huawei tablet, drawn entirely with my finger.

My journey so far started in 2021, when I created my own 1/1 NFT collection, but it failed. Because of that experience, I probably still don't fully understand NFTs, and I'm still a beginner in crypto. I once sent almost $1,000 to the wrong place because I didn't understand wallet addresses and crypto networks.

In 2022, I took a break for a few months. When I started again in 2023, I tried to build ARSLANCYAN. At that time, I created art for the MAD project. Not long after, around March–April, I saw an opportunity to support Ponke. Things went really well, and I was able to make a living from my artwork while receiving lots of commissions. That period lasted for two years. At the end of December 2025, I took on a project that required a lot of time and energy. Although the results were good, the effort ultimately wasn't worth it.

While supporting Ponke, I also made drawings whenever I had free time. Over time, engagement dropped drastically, alongside Bitcoin's price, and the crypto economy became difficult for memecoin artists like me.

In 2026, starting in August, I began trying to support Pepecoin, an OG project that started in 2016. And that's where I am today.
