Crownlessdl (also known as Z) is a digital artist and independent VTuber from the Philippines, also known as Z. He debuted on July 29, 2024, and is known for his calm and introspective personality, matching his INTP-T nature. Crownlessdl is active on multiple platforms, streaming art and interactive content while building a tight-knit online community called the Puddings.
Profile[]
CrownlessDL (with DL standing for Demon Lord) is an “angel” originating from hell, embodying a paradox between light and darkness. Not much is known about his true origins, and he rarely speaks of his past.
In his streams and online presence, he presents a calm and introspective personality, contrasting his infernal background with a surprisingly gentle demeanor. This duality — a being of hell who carries angelic traits — has become a central theme of his identity and aesthetic.
Appearance[]
CrownlessDL possesses a refined yet otherworldly appearance that embodies his dual nature as an “angel from hell.”
He has red hair with black tips, styled in soft waves that frame his face, and eyes of deep violet with a faint blue ring around the irises. His gaze shifts between calm and piercing, reflecting the inner balance between his angelic restraint and demonic heritage.
He is often seen wearing a black tailored suit accentuated with feather-like details on the shoulders, resembling smaller wings. Around his neck rests a black choker and a violet pendant shaped like a whale’s tail, an accessory said to hold deep personal significance. His sleeves are fastened with three belts, a design choice rumored to symbolize a past of restraint or confinement.
CrownlessDL’s black angelic wings are his most defining feature, expansive and dark with a subtle sheen. He has three piercings on his left ear (two on the lobe and one on the helix), one on the right earlobe, and a tongue piercing, often revealed during expressive moments on stream.
Other notable traits include his retractable fangs, black-painted nails, and the ability for his eyes to glow red when manifesting his demonic form. Though his exact height remains undisclosed, he humorously claims to be “one inch tall.”
Career[]
Beginnings[]
Crownlessdl began streaming with the intention of motivating himself to draw more frequently and to share his artistic process with a wider audience. What started as a personal initiative to improve artistic consistency gradually evolved into a growing community of supporters and fellow creators.
Model debut[]

Before debuting with his current custom model, CrownlessDL previously used a multisale model from Booth as a temporary avatar. His transition to the new model was celebrated with a three-day event that became a memorable milestone for his community.
The event began on Valentine’s Day, where he hosted a lighthearted “date stream” with his old model — a playful segment that quickly became legendary among his viewers for reasons only the Puddings know. The next day, he held a mock funeral for the retired model, humorously claiming it had “passed away from exhaustion” after the previous night’s events. The celebration concluded on February 16, CrownlessDL’s birthday, with the long-awaited debut of his new custom model, marking the official start of a new chapter for both him and the Puddings.
Streaming and commissions[]
He uses VGen to manage his commissions and takes pride in maintaining an open and communicative workflow with clients. Donations and commissions often go toward upgrading his streaming setup and model improvements.
He regularly multi-streams on Twitch and TikTok, interacting with audiences from both platforms simultaneously. His streams often feature cozy atmospheres, digital painting sessions, and candid talks about creativity, freelancing, and community life.
Relationships[]
- Imakureitto - Crownlessdl’s first collaboration partner and one of the VTubers he has known the longest. The two often appear in each other’s content and streams, known for their easy rapport and balanced dynamic.
- Vier - His younger brother in lore. Although they share the same hair and eye color, Vier’s design features black hair that gradients to red, in contrast to Crownlessdl’s red hair with black tips. This inversion is said to symbolize their mirrored natures - two halves of the same infernal lineage, each embodying different aspects of balance and defiance.
- Crownlessdl is friends with numerous other VTubers, including MightyCalcifer and various members of the PH indie VTubing scene.
