I am madly in love with Baldur’s Gate 3, and when I like something this much, I just have to make art about it. One of my many favorite things about it is the little quasit familiar you can find early on in Act 1, Shovel. A gross little gremlin who used to belong to … [Read more…]
Sometimes you are just so into something that you gotta do a craft about it. That’s exactly what happened as I watched Dimension 20’s A Court of Fey and Flowers this summer and fall.

Naz’s version came out so good, I … [Read more…]
A friend recently commissioned me to make a plush of their Kobold character. Meet Wyx! I used Choly Knight’s anthro dragon pattern, with some small modifications. I also used the witch expansion pattern set as the base for most of the clothing. I also put magnets in their hands and in their magic wand so … [Read more…]
I carved a new pumpkin this year! It’s Mimikyu! For this one, I wanted to try just carving the surface of the (foam) pumpkin instead of doing full cutouts as is traditional. I think it turned out pretty cool! Here’s all three pumpkins together: Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!
I’ve been on a fanart plush kick lately! First Floomf from Keyforge, and now I’ve made the pet “dog” from Remnant: From the Ashes, a really cool co-op game I started playing recently.
