I've opened up animated emote commissions on my ko-fi! I've never done commissions before so I'm doing a few slots to test the waters (and maybe have some extra spending money for my bday :3 )

My new D&D character for a campaign I'm in that's inspired by Bug Fables and Hollow Knight, where we're all playing as bugs!

This is Zala. She's a wolf spider and a way of shadows monk. And a sadistic little freak

My first time leatherworking went pretty well, I think! Made this choker that's intended for my Merrin (Fire Emblem) cosplay, but I will probably also just wear because I love chokers lol

I had to do it

Twitch keeps having this exact frame of my Vtuber's animation in the thumbnails of my vods and this is all I can think of

From bubbel.blue, here are the 100 bluesky accounts I've interacted with the most. Kinda surprised Reb is the number one, lol. Must be because of all of my Ennersvalposting
Bubble with the 100 bluesky accounts this one has interacted the most, the ones with more interactions larger and closer to the middle

If you need some character art and have some spending money you should go commission Zappy! She is an incredible artist

And finally, the most important part- my merch haul!!

Well, most of it. Every fur con I say I'm finally gonna commission a badge with art of my fursona. And every con I get cold feet and don't go through with it. Until now~
The badge is still being worked on, I'm so excited tho :3

The suiter on the right is Lucid ( @lucidshuck.bsky.social )! As a fellow creature that is equal parts cute and eldritch, I really love their design :3

(plus they're Geo's dance partner, extra coolness points)

Here's a pic Nix took on Saturday of me with a really cool skull suiter! If anyone recognizes this fursuiter please tag their socials in the replies!

(also I think my Saturday fit was my fave of the con, I looked really good. and it was a good stress test for my Merrin cosplay tail!)
