Gloved Touch: A Stobotnik Zine

@glovedtouchzine.bsky.social

✦ Contributor Spotlight ✦ mirimalt ✦ Page Artist

✦ Not only is she an excellent graphic designer and project head; her detailed, soft artworks and eye for composition live up to the hype! Welcome the one and only @mirimalt.bsky.social as our 39th contributor!

Contributor spotlight for the stobotnik fanzine Gloved Touch. This graphic presents the safe for work page artist Mirimalt (she/her). Her icon is a cartoon style portrait of herself with watercolor coloring. Her example piece is an illustration showing Agent Stone kissing Robotnik sweetly. Stone is gently dipping Robotnik and holding him from his back and neck, while Robotnik gingerly lays his hand over Stone's neck and jaw. Stone has his eyes open, Robotnik has his closed. They're inside a room with full bookshelves to the sides and curtains open, letting the sun dye the scene in yellows and oranges. Her intro text reads "Bonsoir I'm Miri! A Germany-based hobby artist who has returned to the art realm after multiple years of art block... ALL THANKS TO THESE BLORBOS!!". At the right side of the graphic is her social media handle for instagram, bluesky, tumblr, twitter and tiktok, "mirimalt".

✦ Contributor Spotlight ✦ BayoBayo ✦ Page Artist

✦ With beautiful watercolor-style portraits, welcome @bayobayodraws.bsky.social as our third contributor! She masterfully captures that traditional feel with their digital works!

Contributor spotlight for the stobotnik fanzine Gloved Touch. This graphic presents the safe for work page artist BayoBayo (she/they). Her icon is a drawing of a character with medium long black hair who, instead of a face, has a hole showing the space and in the center the Earth. Their example piece is a digital watercolor portrait of Dr. Robotnik in a semi-realistic/comic style, with his collar open and hair slightly tossed, smiling at the viewer. Her intro text reads "Look, having my art rejuvenated by old man yaoi wasn't in my 2025 bingo card, but I'm not complaining lol". At the right side of the graphic is their social media handle for twitter, instagram and bluesky "bayobayodraws".

If I had a nickel for every time one of my cats got sick and needed hospitalization right after a natural disaster, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

@beeccoe.bsky.social

Hello! I know a lot of my followers are from the west and I would like to ask that if you have money to spare, please commission some Filipino artists right now that are doing commissions for a cause to help fund the repairs from the recent (and upcoming) super typhoons.

Links to them in replies!
