[@hpdanfan14]

Idk why, but a cute little voodoo doll is what came to my mind first when you mentioned a mascot.

[@joeynealy]

This is a great idea!!

[@swjb8989]

Me too! Glad I'm not the only one

[@madelinemorgan5472]

I love this idea!

[@Nonexistent957]

OMFG!!!! THANK YOU!!! I just freaked out yelling that you drew the beagle picture. Thank you. I’m here with tears of joy in my eyes. I’ve had quite a few the shit couple weeks also. Packed everything and moved 1000 miles away from everyone for a job. When I get to town I was told the job was no longer open because they decided to get rid of the position. To top that off my truck has been in the shop for over a week getting fix to pass smog. Smog checks where never a think back home and 3 grand later it was determined to be a faulty computer code. Thank you for making my whole week.

[@shannynls]

SO sorry you have had quite the crappy week. AND this was a totally random but super funny prompt. Great job!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

OMG how terrible! That definitely tops my week, but I love how this little prompt helped both of us feel a little better! Thank you so much for the great idea!🖤

[@sheainfinitypaints9533]

A cute spider. Love love love your art.

[@hanna2695]

13:40 cromingo ❤ he feels like the ultimate mascot because he’s truly of your making whereas lots of people have ghost and cat icons so the cromingo would be more identifiable as you and your community

[@eeyore135]

I love the idea of Cromingo! So unique, dark and so wish I had thought of something so awe-some!

[@Lil2Treeza]

I think you should do a hybrid of a black cat and a bat. Like a cute black cat with bat wings with an adorable over bite. I have to say my not so secret guilty pleasure is wrestling it’s super nostalgic for me. Also I loved the mini collaboration with Landon, such a special captured moment for you both.❤

[@wingless_gargoyle]

My thoughts exactly about the mascot!

[@lasbaby]

Sorry when you said a mascot immediately thought of a chibi zombie. I saw it laying in a field of flowers, hiding from the bright summer sun, trying to save a turkey, wearing a Santa hat or elf shoes, and of course dressed up as another spooky creature for Halloween. Just my crazy brain. But love the art as always. You never need to explain why you need a break but when you do I’m always happy to be a listening ear 😊

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

Oh heck yes! That sounds SO cute!

[@purproland1991]

This one pleeeeease❤❤❤❤

[@deltapoeta]

Also (sorry for commenting twice) please remember that we aren't just here for your art, we're here for you. If you need to ever take a break for a week, or post a shorter video, or anything at all, your subscribers will understand. You aren't a machine that can pump out art quickly, you are a human being with countless responsibilities who is deserving of breaks and relaxation and all the things one needs to avoid burn out (or even to avoid unnecessary stress). Please remember that you will always be more important than your art (not to say your art isn't amazing. It is!! Your mental and emotional health and well-being are just more important.)

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

Such sweet and caring comments 🖤 she’s blessed to have your viewership

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Totally agree!! We love your art and videos, but we understand that between floods and fender benders (aye!), life happens. Don't stress, hang in there!! Love and hugs 😊

[@mchobbit2951]

100%. I always felt like she got out a very high volume of high quality art for KZbin, on top of commissions and being a mom. I'd rather she take her time than churn stuff out and lose her passion. It happens to so many KZbinrs and it's a sad thing.

[@kristacompton4119]

And obviously we all agree with you. Such a kind comment

[@PepperPierce]

Her health is more important than art though we enjoy it. It can't be done with you so rest relax bing watch a show do art on your own terms not the KZbin show terms !

[@111237999]

I loved the circle. But then you made the drippy one and it immediately felt like you. So glad you picked that one 🥰 The mascot, maybe those zombies you paint.

[@FidinaQuery]

An Ashleigh Cartoon Mascot would be fun for that second logo! Could have different outfit for every season too, like goth christmas haha❤

[@jesusnavarro411]

With like a little cat and a bat ❤❤

[@kaylamariechickpea]

Oooo yes like Jazza's cartoon Jazza

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

I think you should have a little Ashleigh mascot who also has a little cat sidekick

[@caitlynm8]

I love the logo!!! For a mascot, I think the cromingo 🐦‍⬛ 🦩 is perfect!!

[@enirehtaksirrah7936]

I love the idea of a little ghost as a mascot

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

This would, actually, be so adorable

[@kristacompton4119]

I love this too. See a ghost celebrate Christmas and summer e a beach ball and sunglasses...

[@SquishyChameleon]

Snowball the Dracaterus. Though, she may not be simple enough/too busy to draw frequently... Polly the Plesimermacorn is staring at me on the side bar right now, and she is probably simple enough that you could turn her out. But to fit more with your style/feel... maybe make it a sort of Night Mare rather than a cutesy unicorn? I think "standard" is firey mane and tail. But you could go with your signature green or whatever.

[@SinCityYetiArt]

Suggestion for your channel mascots, a patched up ragdoll black cat. I think you could have so much fun with this. The ragdoll aspect makes it unique, and you could add patches and maybe the cat changes the patches to match the seasons. 🤔😁 The ragdoll I feel fits you really well, creepy, cute, loved, and still here ready to go.

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

Ooooh! Another enchanting idea! I think I like everyone else’s suggestions even better than my own … such a cute idea

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Cute idea!! ❤

[@frankie1717]

The black cat has almost been a mascot this entire time.😃There's been a black cat alongside you introducing each new CTB episode in your intro. Maybe that cat can be transformed into a more specific mascot. I like the crowmingo idea so maybe a black cat either in a crowmingo costume/accents (hat, pin, patch) or a black cat with a little crowmingo baby chick companion. (^-^)

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh a cute little bat or black cat would be lovely for you! Dark but a Sweetie just like you!!!! Loved this episode!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

💜

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

Re: character/mascot … my first impulse was BAT 🦇 so I was so happy to hear you thought it would be cute … you can kinda make her M-shaped sometimes (when she’s all unfurled) … it would reinforce your MONET branding … my vote is bat - I know you can make her so impressive and beguiling…like you make everything you create 🖤 best of love and luck, doll … and hang in there … this too shall pass

[@shannarablackwater7004]

Great to see u again. I've had a real roller coaster ride this last week too. To see your video was just what I needed. Love love love the fan page. Hell of a job! 😊 luv Rhea, too. Mascot... black cat with bright green eyes. Bat with bright green eyes.. almost neon green 💚 or combine the 2 n hv a bat cat... cat with bat wings n little vangs n huge bright green eyes. I love the free create page too n ur beagle is perfect 5 night at Freddie's.. I loved the film n this page us bloody awesome 👌 ❤you hv a very talented son x

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I'm sorry your week was all over. So glad we can come together with all of our stuff and just enjoy some art 🖤

[@thoughtfulwatcher]

I love the Beagle. It gave me a Jim Henson's Dog City vibe. (The muppets created for it.In all the best ways.)

[@barbarahumphreys4887]

I like the 3 headed dragon cat you did. Maybe a black cat version? Cus then you have 3 heads to play with for themes. Like Halloween could be one with horns, one with a witches hat, one with clown marks and a ruffled collar. Just makes it where you have more design options instead of having to narrow it down. Christmas could be like a Santa hat, an elf hat, ear muffs. Idk if I'm explaining it well but I think it would be creepy/cute plus endless stylistic choices for various seasons or holidays ❤

[@barbarahumphreys4887]

Also a 3 headed cat wouldn't be basic lol

[@kaylariddle1324tvd]

I think a great mascot could be a little voodoo doll

[@HannahKaramitsos]

Great to see you Ashleigh, Love the idea of a Mascot for your shop, I think either the 🐈‍⬛Black Cat🐈‍⬛ or the 🐦‍⬛Crowmingo🦩 would be Cool, but I also think anything you choose for the mascot will be Awesome. ❤️Rhea looks Amazing on the Create a Fan Page. 💚Love all the draft ideas on the Create a Symbol Page and I Love the design you picked for your new logo, It's Spectacular!! 🦙The Create Without Thinking Page really made me Smile, the Llama Officer is the Greatest! 🌟And Landon did a Great job coloring the Paint-By-Number page. ✨I LOVE your Art and your Videos, No matter what day you post on Ashleigh. 🖤You're The Best!!!!!🖤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

🖤

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

It makes me so happy to read such positive & inspiring comments on your videos … adds such a deep dimension (for me) when the community is so loving 🖤

[@Aneres225]

Landon did such a good job! I was not expecting his coloring to be so neat. When you said "mascot" I immediately thought of a ghost even before you said it so...maybe there's something there. The one logo you did (before you redid it switching the words) looked like "art ashleigh with monet" to my brain and I can't unsee it. Now I will always think of this channel as art ashleigh with monet

[@artwithashleighmonet]

🤣 Welcome to Art Ashleigh With Monet

[@shellysanders8983]

I think the perfect mascot would be a black kitten with bat wings.

[@deonhaasbroek8341]

I think the dracatarus would make a cool mascot

[@northstar653]

Maybe for the mascot it could be a bat-cat (cat x bat) something similar to what you made for the create this book clab

[@shannynls]

Love the new Logo! It is perfectly simplistic. Gets the point across without being too busy. Classy.

[@SinCityYetiArt]

Sending lots of love your way and I'll light a candle for you. Be sure to breathe and focus on your well being. That's first and foremost, can't make art or be there for your family if you're down and out from stress. 💗

[@RHv445]

While the other logos (especially the first, cursive paintbrush one) were great, I really think the one you chose, was perfect! I also really like the typewriter font used 🙂 When it comes to a mascot, a made up animal that is just your own would be fun. Maybe a cute bat-cat? Or your self portrait avatar, if it's not to complicated for your purposes 🤔 Anyways, I enjoyed your art like always. Nice work👍🏻 look forward to the next video.

[@darthtequila3741]

i love the black cat and bat ideas, also maybe a dinosaur would be cool

[@lmaoslmaoslmaos]

I love Rhea Ripley and FnaF. Both you and Landon have great taste in obsessions

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Oh my goodness! I'm sorry to hear you've been having such a rough time. 😟 I'm not a Wrestling fan, at all....and don't know any of the people, or anything really about it.... but.... I love your drawing. 😊👍🏼 I love all your logos. Until you showed your final design, my favourite was the circular one (before the black line)..... But, now, the one you chose, is my favourite, too. 😃👍🏼❣ Love the create without thinking page.... so fun and well drawn. 😊😃👍🏼 Your colouring page is well done. And Landon did a great job colouring it. 😃👍🏼(you didn't cheat, in my opinion).

[@gamingofgrandeur2869]

FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK = ASHLEIGH MONET UPLOAD DAY 😂❤🎉

[@lindsayschmidt9536]

I thought your logo designs all looked lovely and I think the one you picked is perfect if it's the one you love! Regarding your mascot question, a black cat would TOTALLY be on brand for you! If you love it go for it! Other ideas I had were like your crowmingo, combining 2 animals, my first thought was a cat and owl but you could do a cat and any other animal. I just love the idea of creating something unique to you and your channel that is your mascot. I LOVE watching your videos and I totally enjoy your vibes and humor! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents with the world!

[@JayofallTrades]

No matter what life throws at you, at least you can still get it together. At least art helps with stress. Hope things get better and still here for art, storytime, and vlogs whatever. Favorite page the logo design cuz I'm a graphic design major and love the different designs you came up with. My favorite is the paintbrush might be basic but sometimes simple basic is what works. Definitely a black cat would be cute. I can see a black cat in a Christmas sweater or holding a bow and arrow for Valentine's. Have him holding art supplies. I still love that as stickers even if you don't use at a mascot.

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Love that!

[@loveyourcreations]

When you talked about your brand I immediately thought a black cat because of you and your intro and then you said “my first thought was a black cat” and I was like 😳 yes!! I think it simple and clean for a design and would be so cute doing holiday/seasonal things! 🥹 also just want to say I am such a fan of you and your work I’ve been wanting to KZbin for my art for so many years and have always been scared to try but you have really inspired me to do it. I just want to say how amazing and cool you are keep doing you! You make my week every time you upload! 💖💖

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

Such an adorable idea 🐈‍⬛

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I love it! It's a lot of work, but I wouldn't want to do anything else! Highly recommend!

[@J17710]

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I acknowledge you!🤣🖤

@@artwithashleighmonet 🩸 🖤

[@shannynls]

I am voting for Victor as the mascot! The cutie little voodoo guy from a previous video! He is super cute and I would love to see him doing all kinds of things. With a sticker for each season and holiday! 🥰🥰🥰

[@wingless_gargoyle]

Wow, cool prompts this week! The "thoughtless" one made me laugh so hard😂 so random but cute) The logo is awesome, very fitting to this channel. Speaking of a mascot I think, you don't have to choose between a cat and a bat - how about a cat with a bat wing, kinda like your dracaterus, but with one head? It would be unique enough for your shop to stand out and to boot it can be drawn in cute outfits) Wish you strength to cope with the unbearable neighbour without any financial losses!

[@padoodle81]

I like the idea of the cromingo as the mascot. Personal, creepy, and cute

[@janetbronner6403]

Oh, that fits you well with the logo you picked! So perfect! ❤

[@tanyaschmith9737]

Awesome video as always 😊 I think you should go with the cat you love cats and that feels authentic to you where the other idea's feel contrived ❤😊

[@kaylariddle1324tvd]

Amazing

[@Arilouhel]

My jaw DROPPED when I saw Rhea I haven't even watched the video yet and I'm SO EXCITED I'm so obsessed with her right now. You did her so well !!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thank you! 🖤

[@deannefalise2784]

I think the cartoon of you that's used in all your video intros, should be the mascot. I think it looks great.

[@jadedluv00]

I agree. You are your mascot!!!

[@LianaGalati80]

I think your mascot should be a caricature of you, that way you can be doing things for the seasons and different holidays. I loved Landon’s bit in the book, he did an awesome job colouring. I did have a favourite logo that you drew, but I do love the one you chose, it’s simple but versatile

[@michellelynns125]

Love the logo! Super cute! A cute little bearded dragon or something of that nature. I think that kind of “exotic” animal fits you! Super fun subscriber request. You nailed it! The beagle reminds me of a detective! A really fun paint by number! Looks like he had a great time and it looks awesome! ❤

[@rebeccaslawson8378]

Love to watch your videos whenever you post them!!! ❤❤❤

[@aleajohnson3669]

I love the collab art with your child❤❤❤❤ super sweet an very cool😊😊😊

[@redbunnylips]

Love this video. Really like your art style. I like to see you dabble in different art mediums. Exactly my cup of tea

[@lokicooper4690]

The thing with logos is that they can change over time, so you don’t necessarily need to have only one written in stone, that it can’t change forever. I do like the one you’ve chosen, though, as it fits with what you’ve done so far. As for the mascot, maybe, once you’ve acquired ideas from people, you could do an episode just doodling several of them in some themes (Halloween would be fun since it’s right around the corner) to see what really vibes with you. I’d love to watch that. I love the idea of a ghost, or a werewolf (or is that too halloweeny?). Maybe a zombie? Sorry, not helping much, am I! Lol!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

😂

[@kortneyvillagran2669]

Definitely needs to be a black cat mascot! Will love anything you pick but black cat! 🐈‍⬛ 🖤 amazing video and love the new logo!!!

[@nadinb1014]

A cute lil Voodoo doll ❤ In spring with sew on bunny ears, on christmas hes turning into a gingerbred man lil bit burned from the oven, seeing him on halloween as leatherface / ghostface..and so oooon 🥰 his body is literally made for adding stuff to xD

[@kaylaherman-gaspar4854]

I think the crowmingo would make a great mascot!✨️ It's so cool & unique! It will definitely be a mascot nobody else has & so it will be instantly recognizable as your brand.

[@lauraamed7106]

Lovee the video and the logo! As the mascot, I thought about a raven, looks mystical, dark and poetic haha i think it would match your style! Hope you like the ideia, kisses from brazil 🖤

[@Davidooy]

Love your art so much always looking forward to your post!!

[@danam2384]

CROWMINGO!! It is already uniquely yours and I'd love to see what other poses and sizes it could be in. Crowmingo stickers, yes

Absolutely fantastic 👏

[@gracielapulte4276]

I love the idea of a black cat mascot especially because you have a black cat in your intro and you love cats

[@kimboyle9082]

Landon did great! I love the idea of a black cat mascot, but maybe he's a plush, like button eyes and patches or something. That will also give an opportunity for merch 😊

[@edc9864]

Nice job Landon! Super cute drawings as always! The rhea Ripley drawing made me think of pat benetar!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

The hair! She had that fun 80's rocker cut for a while. She's growing it now, but I hope she goes back to the Pat Benetar hair!

[@sheepnhaystacks]

I don't know why, but a zombie as a mascot popped into my head. Have a great week.

[@jadedluv00]

I love the bat idea. It's so hard to find a mascot that isn't used elsewhere. But everything you do is unique!❤

[@ivylivramento1507]

I loved this week so much ❤

[@ellenorebird7267]

That beagle was my favourite bit 😂 awesome new logo too ❤

[@pattyfarthing9980]

I think you should make the other “logos” as stickers for the shop. Also, your character should be a goth/rocker kick ass zombie chick! For stickers and stuff you could do just head and shoulders as well as full body. It would be really cool to see her doing and wearing things based on seasons and holidays!! So fun!

[@lucidlabyrinth]

I always look forward to your videos they make me so happy!

[@lucidlabyrinth]

I feel weird right that through your intro of your hard time 😅 sorry to hear all that

[@artwithashleighmonet]

You're so sweet. Just regular life stuff, but things have been much much better this week!

[@tarawhite24]

My suggestion for a mascot would be a bat cat! 🦇🐈‍⬛️

[@justt_vix]

I just started watching you yesterday but I’m already so in love your personality with your art, and I feel so inspired especially since we like the same things. I love that you can do both spooky and cute art.

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Aw, thank you so much!! Welcome aboard the crazy train! 🖤

[@RoyalPayne1979]

I love you! the Ripley was my fav but just hearing you humanize yourself and, to me, making your content relatable makes me like the "real life" stuff. It helps keep me grounded knowing I am not alone!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Not alone at all! We all have so much going on, it's so nice to find community here. 🖤

[@joeynealy]

Really loved the llama cop page! Also I am so glad you chose this logo it was my fav one!!😆

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Yay! Thank you!

[@howtobecomeapanda1547]

Ah I’m obsessed with fnaf and I absolutely loved your drawing! Also Landon did an amazing job coloring it!🥰

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

What about a cute big eyed tarantula or an owl for a mascot

[@kristacompton4119]

Also, I think a little ghost would be cute to see celebrating other seasons or holidays since they really only get love at Halloween! 👻

[@FidinaQuery]

Omg, i love your new logo so muchhh❤❤❤

[@chrisbradley536]

Sorry you had such MEH week. I think there’s definitely something in the air cuz I felt it too. Anywho….amazing week of art!!!! I LOVE your logo choice!!! I think that your creature should be a cute zombie. I love the way you draw zombies they always blow me away. I can just see a cute zombie dressed in like a Mrs Claus number for Christmas or in a diaper and wings for Valentines Day.

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I love that! Sorry the week was off for you too. At least we have each other and some art! Hahaha.

[@Larems879]

Mascot: black cat with red bat collar emblem

[@rachelsmith4654]

Another great video Ashleigh! 🖤 Love your pages and logo! I love your videos whatever you do, there’s no pressure ❤ Love your idea of a mascot. A cat, bat or catbat mash up!?! Whatever you create will be perfect. 🖤

[@courtneya9483]

I don't think you would be able to make it into a mascot, but my favorite thing you have made was the zombie eating pizza! Lmao 😅 But the black cat or crowmingo would be my other picks! & Thank you for the video! ❤

[@meganp5439]

Loved your work as always! I absolutely adore your art style

[@crazykawaii6745]

For an idea for your mascot, a hybrid black cat! It can be hybrid with anything, bat, bug, ghost, even a toy cat! Just a black cat hybrid with something, hope you love my idea Ashleigh!

[@LeanneRaine]

Quick update - I discovered from Lizzynick's channel that you can return the dry Arrtx markers if you keep them and send them back. They'll send you working ones in their place. I liked the signature you used! I think it was the best choice. The long arm of the llama was just hilarious! Great job. It's so cute you included your son. It adds a bigger piece of your heart to the book. I really hope things get easier for you irl. Sending positive vibes your way! Thank you for the video 🖤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I'm going to try the adding water trick and see if that helps. I'd like to avoid the shipping headache of a back and forth, but that's super good to know in case it doesn't work!

[@LeanneRaine]

@@artwithashleighmonet Quick update: @Lizzynickart contacted Arrtx and they said if you mail the dry markers back, they will replace them.

[@shaylacarter6069]

I love the bat idea 🦇

[@Whiskerseasons33]

Very good pages today and awesome logo 😁😺

[@Taracinablue]

Oh my goodness, the flooding sounds awful. I hope nothing too valuable got ruined =( The crowmingo could be a good mascot--you could name her, develop "lore" as you go, make him a little boyfriend, etc. =) Love the "long arm of the llama" page, lol. That was a good compromise for that page--I was a bit stressed about that one, myself =P I almost didn't notice it was Landon's hands on that page--he has about exactly the same skin tone as you, lol. Maybe a hair darker? Anyway, it was clever of you to tape the page down.

[@pattilee5861]

Or the dracterious!

[@kaylamariechickpea]

I like either the black cat or like someone else said a cartoon Ashleigh!

[@ToCoziesAndBeyond]

Professional wrestling can be a great family watch! You did great with Rhea. Maybe I am imagining this, but did you do a cat Dracula type of hybrid? I’m thinking of a black cat with a cape could very cute. Also the cromingo or a crow could be cute. I’m excited that your shop is coming together.

[@Shovel03]

the cromingo (is that how you spell it?) would in my opinion be such a fun and awesome shop mascot

[@kristacompton4119]

I swear I look forward to your videos every week. I just love the creepy factor you always tend to throw in. My ten year old daughter loves five nights at Freddy's too! And we still have a Chuck e cheese here! I always thought those animatronics were creepy. Their eyes are so dead. Also, you should totally create a snowglobe, but make it fall or Halloween themed inside .. like draw it. I want a tattoo of a snowglobe with everything important to me inside!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

What a fun idea!

Totally awesome artwork!! 🥰 A goth girl being your vibe makes total sense!! ⚫️ I love the Llama, axolotl, & beagle page! 😍 The logo seems very fitting!! 👍 I was wondering about stepping the black cat up a notch to a black panther?

I used to watch wrestling as a kid too, but that was EONS ago! And Rhea RIpley looks tuff! I may watch again for her. Great fan page! LOL!

I thought Prince was already your mascot as he is in your intro. Seems on brand to continue to use him.
