Poof, three goobers to decorate my future booth at #Gdakon and #Fauntastic.

You wouldn't believe how long it takes to cut out 1mm carboard while following precise shapes.

My fingies hurt.

#furryart

Three printed cutouts of gremlin Vital hanged to a metal grid; they are meant as decorations.

The first gremlin is pink, floating horizontally with its hands reaching forwards; mouth open in a wide mischievous grin, the size of which is only rivaled by the massive brows.

The second gremlin is yellow, and gnaws at a bar of the grid, the rest of its body limping downwards, its back turned to the viewer. Despite that, iIts facial expression is visible as it's hanging and is remarkable by the extreme lack of intelligence that it conveys.

The third gremlin is blue, and in a terrible predicament as it appears to have rammed through a glowing star, and in so doing got irs head through and solidly stuck. It's fully upside down, and expanding great efforts to unstuck itself, pushing with all its might, hands and paws against the celestial body, comically deforming its head but alas! to no avail.

It's still January so I'm not late to share the results of my 2025 bingo. I didn't get one, but I did cool stuff trying, so in my book I failed successfully! 💃

And technically I can draw two lines that cross five filled cells, so maybe it's a double bingo actually??

Stay tuned for 2026's #bingo!

Vital's bingo card for 2025. Each cell is illustrated with a (hopefully) funny doodle picturing Vital's fursona doing the activity (or failing at it in some way). Some cells are left blank (i.e. not done) and others are filled (i.e. done).
There are no rows, columns or diagonals of filled cells that would indicate a conventional "win" at bingo.

From left to right and top to bottom. the cells contain the following texts:
1. "gift fanart to 12 artists I like" (blank)
2. "learn to play 3 new randos" (filled)
3. "make 1 diorama sculpture" (blank)
4. "eat more fruits/vegs" (filled)
5. "participate in 3 game jams" (blank)
6. "learn 10 new vegan recipes" (filled)
7. "do at least 150 walkies (~20 minutes walks outside)" (filled)
8. "plan 12 dates with my partners" (blank)
9. "learn crochet" (blank)
10. "draw 20 illustrations I'm proud of" (filled)
11. "fix my sleep schedule" (filled)
12. "create some OCs" (blank)
13. "be a nuisance, a menace, a gremlin, up to no good, a pest, an annoyance" (the center cell, filled)
14. "interact with people more (online or at conventions)" (filled)
15. "finish building my fursuit" (blank)
16. "go to 3 amusement parks" (blank)
17. "go climbing regularly" (blank)
18. "get 6 colorful clothing items" (filled)
19. "clear my games backlog" (blank)
20. "attend 3 cons (furry and japan cons excluded)" (blank)
21. "attend 3 art workshops" (blank)
22. "discover 5 new board games" (filled)
23. "fill a sketchbook with doodles" (blank)
24. "revive my fictional world" (blank)
25. "make a small comic (3 pages or more)" (blank)

The same bingo card as the previous image, but two arbitrary lines are drawn above, each crossing five different cells that have been filled; those cells don't actually form a row, column or diagonal.

I printed, sanded, and painted the creature! It looks better than I thought it would, and OH GAWD I FORGOR THE BEANS DAMMIT I'LL BE BACK

Photo of an in progress 3D print depicting a cartoony fox-like creature (it's me!). With the support material, it looks like an eldritch horror too.

Little Pseudeuophrys lanigera, I think? She might have jumped a little too high this time.

Do you like sticking faces on appliances?
I do. And I find it hilarious.

#furryart or #art in general I guess!

A sticker sheet presenting a collection of 12 stickers, each being composed of two eyes and a set of teeth to represent silly expressions.

The title reads: "Mimic Stickers - by Vital ❤"
The different stickers in the collection are:
- "Screm" (mouth agape with eyes partially overlapping it)
- "Smert" (diverging eyes with upper teeth biting the lower lip)
- "Sedness" (just comically teary eyes and a sad expression)
- "Dred" (eyes gazing at the void, mouth slightly open and large bags under the eyes)
- "Blep" (mean-looking eyes and nonchalantly blowing rasperries, tongue out)
- "Ded" (mouth agape and wide open eyes with spirals instead of pupils)
- "Hehe" ("smiling" eyes with just a couple of teeth showing)
- "Not hehe" (frowned eyes, looking not amused)
- "Penik!" (big eyes with small pupils, mouth wide open and tongue out as if cartoonishly screaming)
- "Smeil" (vertical pupils and menacing grin showing all teeth)
- "Merp" (small eyes and pinched cheeks around small teeth, looking dumb)
- "Self-explanatory" (this is a "uwu" face, bug with eyes wide open and each pupil having a "U" shape. It's indeed less self-explanatory in text form)

I'm thinking of making tees. I'll make a few for myself, and if I'm happy with the result, I'll take pre-orders for custom orders at the cons I can get a booth at!

Six palettes, as in the examples, but with your gremlin instead of me. Would you be interested? 💃

#furryart

Six pictures with the same design, but using different palettes. Each shows a stylized anthropomorphic fox-like critter in the middle of a stride. The background of each section is a solid color with a halftone pattern diffusing around the character.

From left to right and top to bottom, the pictures use the palettes:
1. Cyan character on magenta background
2. Magenta character on yellow background
3. Yellow character on cyan background
4. Cyan character on dark background
5. Magenta character on dark background
6. Yellow character on dark background

More of these pointy crits made at #cesfur, though I've kept these ones 'cause I like them.

#furryart

Watercolor and ink drawing of an anthropomorphic critter from an unidentified species. Prominent features are large cartoonish eyes, a pointy snout, no apparent mouth, and a notched ear.

The character is sitting on the ground, hands on the floor and one knee up, assuming a relaxed pose. Small bandaids are applied on them: one on the snout, another on a knee, and the last one on the wrist.

Parts of the lineart on the character appears to have been torn, giving a washed out effect.

The background is a wavy pattern consisting of three colors: red/pink, yellow, and blue, reminiscent of the pansexual pride flag.

Watercolor and ink drawing of an anthropomorphic critter from an unidentified species. They are standing, turning their back to the viewer while apparently spraying paint on an imaginary wall. A crude heart shape appears besides the hand holding the spray can.

The background represents the pansexual pride flag, each color area forming a dripping pattern on the one below it.

A pair of crits made at #cesfur, and gone in a blitz ♥
I like them so much that I was actually sad to let them go... but I can always do MORE of 'em!

Painting of an anthropomorphic character sitting with their knees up, both arms reaching around their legs to hold a Gameboy close go their face.
A vivid light emanates from the device, reflecting in the eyes of the creature, who is deeply absorbed by the game they are playing.

Painting of an anthropomorphic character sitting idly on the border of an imaginary frame that contains a background. Said background is a version of the Queer flag rotated diagonally.

Today at #cesfur25 doing more charity #furryart, with #watercolor this time~
I'm very proud to see that all of them were taken off the board in a matter of hours!

Many thanks to my anonymoud appreciators, THERE WILL BE MORE TOMORROW!! ò0ó

A watercolor painting picturing Vital taking a selfie in front of a lake. The framing is intentionally bad: the head is cropped and obscures almost half of the background; and his thumb covers a part too.

A watercolor painting of swirling shapes, forming a mosaic of curved tiles painted with vivid colors. The center tile is white, and a small black and round cat stands expresionless in the middle of it, eyes wide open.

A watercolor painting imitating a polaroid. Vital stands on the foreground in a corner of the picture, mouth wide open in excitement, and is pointing towards the horizon.
The background depicts a very bright sunset (or is it an explosion?) and an aurora borealis.

The doodles I made for #cesfur charity yesterday! They are all gone already, thanks to whoever took them~ ❤️

A cartoony bust drawing of a maned wolf, tongue stuck out in a "blep" expression on a pink background.

Black and white drawing of Vital assuming a menacing position, eyes wide open, half-crouching and arms slightly raised as to appear bigger.

"F*CK" written in big, fluo pink on a gray background. A small, stylized kobold is on the bottom right corner, mouth wide open in a happy expression; it's implied to be the one sweatring.

I completely forgot to talk about it here before and after but... we (@kaotikjuju.bsky.social, @awoobis.hyper.wang and I) had a stand at the #fauntastic5 dealer's den as The Three Manes Show!

It was super fun and super new for me to be on this side of the booth as an artist. Will do it again ♥
