Sqeezing in just on the crack of midnight with my 2023 year in review! I actually had enough stuff this year to split items across art and crafts.

Thank you everyone for your support! Here's to another great year of creating.

Art Recap - Alethea Lim 2023. 12 watercolour artworks denoted with months. Included are three Splatoon inspired pieces, six Pokemon pieces, Drageux from Ring Fit Adventure, a Stray Gods inspired piece and a Kakapo from the Avian August challenge.

Craft Recap - Alethea Lim 2023. 12 craft projects, mostly laser-cut things with some electronics and sewing projects mixed in. The top left shows a prototype of an Ocarina of Time inspired piece. There are a couple of rhythm game inspired pieces, paraglider earrings from Tears of the Kingdom, a tamagotchi-like device with the Smallfry from Splatoon, Pokemon fabric dice bags, Geese earrings, a Pokéball light panel, sushi themed trinkets, a keyboard, Patapon pins and Jirachi earrings.

Come see me (as my alter-ego @alecat.bsky.social), @nicosar.bsky.social, @sten.bsky.social and @vichisuki.bsky.social at PAX for this panel!

THIS WEEKEND at @paxaus.bsky.social: we're excited to be hosting a speedrunning themed gameshow panel!

@alecat.bsky.social is a solo Untitled Goose Game speedrunner looking for a buddy to take on the co-op leaderboard with. Problem is, her usual partner @nicosar.bsky.social isn't a good fit! (1/3)

Thank you for joining! I always love having a way to connect with the other artists at the event too, even though we’re far apart.

I ran a sidekick themed stamp rally at Adelaide Artcade! It was such a pleasure to work alongside so many cool artists and I love how everyone found their own way to celebrate their chosen sidekick(s)!

A stamp card with spots for each of the tabling artists to place a stamp next to an unfinished friendship charm. Below the stamp card, a map shows where to find all the artists.

Laser-cut friendship charms based on the designs shown in the stamp card sheet. They are cut from shiny gold acrylic.

I remembered line stabilisation options exist, fingers crossed this helps

Chenonetta Creations @chenonetta.com · 9d

Urgh I am so bad at lineart. I've been avoiding it lately by doing my linework in Illustrator so I can control the curves and line weights. But I wish I could get better at freehanding with my tablet 😭

I've not really been feeling motivation to draw fanart of any new media for a while, so it's an odd coincidence that the two series that are close to breaking through that barrier are both ones which have supernatural agents taking on missions to meddle in the lives of ordinary people.

Finished a private test run of our dating-gameshow-speedrunning panel for @paxaus.bsky.social and feeling relieved that it all worked, albeit with a LOT of chaos. But the chaos will be part of the fun!

Come see us on PAX Saturday!
We're currently scheduled for 3pm in the Kookaburra theatre!

FB memories reminded me of these prize medals and pins made for the first Vic Urchins Splatoon 2 LAN! First and second place medals for the 4v4 tournament and a set of Salmon run pins!

I made some free box templates for making your own blind boxes!

Four variations with fully customisable dimensions so you can size the boxes perfectly for your project.

Will do - waiting for Jeff to report back on his latest iteration and then I'll order PCBs in. I might try a slow rollout again as it's a new product and I need to gain some confidence with the build - I'll be in touch.

Ok yes fire heads I can get behind!!! Then it feels like they’re still on the secondary side instead of necessarily having separate sentiences.

Chenonetta Creations @chenonetta.com · Jul 28

Mega evolution is already an existential nightmare with how painful it apparently is. I could not handle the addition and loss of heads.

Built my first Jarne Blade yesterday, this thing is ridiculously thin - half the thickness of my laptop. It feels like holding a wafer!

Will look to make these available on the store in a few weeks’ time.

Thanks as always to big bro Jeff for designing another amazing piece of kit.

Thank you @avcon.bsky.social for an amazing day 1!

There will be a limited number of Side Order stamp cards on site today; I hesitate to say "available" because they need work.

If I talked to you about upgrading then come over ASAP, I can't promise reserves because con brain is fried.

Chenonetta Creations @chenonetta.com · Jul 5

Oh my gosh, thank you for your support, I’ve barely been able to make an “I’m here” post and we’re already sold out of the electronic Side Order stamp cards!
I mayyyy have a handful more tomorrow, or chat to me if you’re desperate for something today.

Chenonetta Creations @chenonetta.com · Jul 5

4 more available, pending some assembly that I'll be leaving for the morning. See you tomorr--- later today!
