My Bio

I stream every Monday to Friday on my [Twitch] channel!


Please visit me on [My Patreon] !

I have left (hopefully temporarily) DeviantArt due to the Eclipse update becoming mandatory and ruining my user experience on DA.


Also check out [My Instagram] !


HOAI comes from my Vietnamese name, Hoai Vu, but you can also call me Victor. I am a self-taught illustrator who focuses on digital painting and character design.


Credit must be given if you plan to use my work in any way.

Originally named "Vikko2", now called HOAI as of 11/30/2017.

DeviantArt Eclipse is Actually Awful So, We're finally setting up shop on Patreon for uploads instead!

TL;DR: I don't like the Eclipse update, my tiny brain doesn't like the GIANT pictures, blank space, and all the menus hiding stuff. I might switch to another website. It wasn't a problem before since Classic was still an option, but it isn't anymore. --- I feel pretty strongly about DeviantArt Eclipse's layout. I don't like it, things are too big and essential information that was previously available is now hidden behind menus that obscure things that don't need to be hidden. I also think it just kind of looks ugly, the usage of space being the biggest offender with tons of empty space and icons that are way bigger than they need to be. I'm on a computer, not a mobile device- that's where this style of design belongs. Normally, this sort of layout akin to that of an optional Compact layout or something to that effect, but DeviantArt has recently removed Classic view entirely. There is no way to return all the previous information back to the main screen. I also normally use

Things Are Good

Hey everyone. I know I've been pretty out of touch with you guys here on DeviantArt (I don't actually know how many people are still paying attention to my page, frankly), but here's just a quick journal update on my thoughts lately. Things have been pretty great! Twitch seems to be (mostly) working out, I'm sort of more used to how my schedule has to be now, and my desire to keep working is stronger than it's ever been. I don't know how much better things could be. I am a little tired sometimes, but I think that comes with all sorts of work, you know? On another note, I'm working on fixing my art up in a new direction with these explorat

Your profile pic is friggin adorable

I'm seriously grateful for all the really nice words and support we've gotten over the years. Now that Eclipse has rolled out as a mandatory feature, however, I don't know if I can keep using DA.


Please consider continuing to follow my latest work on Patreon until further notice! If DA fixes the mess they've made with Eclipse, maybe we'll make a return.


For now, I hate to say that I'm not happy leaving, honestly. I do want to show my dissatisfaction with Eclipse, though, by taking my work elsewhere for the time being.


I want to say again, thank you guys so much.

You've got a fantastic gallery with amazing artwork! 💖

I absolutely adore your style. I love all your art!

Waoooo! Great works. Llama Emoji-23 (Shyness) [V1]
