I made this one a few years ago. It’s watercolor, gouache, ink, and a dash of colored pencil here and there. The original was sold and is hanging on a wall in Wales. 😊

IT TOOK ME FOREVER 😭😭

Nak Muay Amarant

I was a practitioner of muay thai for around 15 years, until my body decided to take a crap on me at age 30. 🙃 Sucks, because I was a tough chick. Ah, well. I’m a 45 year-old dinosaur now, and my nak muay days are long gone, but I still love the culture. As such, I decided to dress Amarant up in traditional nak muay attire. With him being 7’5”/226cm, he’dve been one HELL of a thai fighter. 😍 I made this Copic drawing a few years ago. Hey, a girl can draw eye candy as she pleases. 💕

I made one!

I based this off my personal experiences, people I know/have interacted with, and fictional characters that I like. 🥰

Yes, my relationships with ESTPs are stupid complicated. My dad’s an ESTP and he’s a walking pile of garbage, I have a fictional crush on one, and I’m totally in love with an irl one. Geez. 😅

I made the drawing of myself there. That’s basically what I look like, minus the head flower and chibi styling. 🤭 Swipe for the blank!

Hairy baby

This scribble was the first Lobo drawing Simon saw of mine. He told the IG SimonBisleyFanBoys mod to share it, and that was pretty cool. 🤭 Shortly afterwards, he asked that same mod to give me his number.

Chibi power, friends. 😎

Made with ink, Copic markers, red watercolor, and spit. 😂

Scribblenauts!

This is one of my all-time favorite iterations of my beloved baby bastich. 🤭 Omg he’s just painfully adorable! I’ve been heavily considering getting a tattoo of this version of him, because HIS SPACE HOG IS A BIG WHEEL😭💕 He’s too precious!

This is Scribblenauts no.5, by the way.

Okay, clearly baby Donut has been watching Chalupa’s wall crawl and ceiling videos, and is learning some very bad habits from that delinquent. Like Chalupa, Donut is also a B. hamorii, and probably figured, “Well, Chalupa does it, mom!” 😝

…ay Dios mío, will you just eat your cricket parts and behave?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

This is Donut, my absolutely darling B. hamorii sling. She is just sooo tiny, measuring the size of my index fingernail (including legs!). I don’t know her sex yet “technically,” but she’s a she until I see boxing gloves and tibial spurs.

I love her heart butt! 🖤

She is my very first tiny sling. The tarantula I had years ago was a G. rosea, but he was sadly a male and only lived four years. Hoping Donut is a girl and will be with me for years to come!

Mr. Mailman brought me a positively fragtastic addition to my smol-but-growing husbando collection! 😍

Lobo is still factory sealed in his box with a friend, but I’m the sort of collector who prefers to interact with her figurines. Yeah, I know, it affects the value of the collectible, but I don’t give a frag. I want to pose my Main Man and make him look proper ferocious! 😈

These are all the Lobo figures I’ve amassed since the beginning of the year. I’ve had a thing for the Main Man for longer than that, but it was only in January that I decided to embrace my weirdly overwhelming degree of emotional attachment to him, and started barfing up tons of money to have him on my shelf. 🥰 (And my walls!)

To put it in a nutshell, my life for the past three years has been a whole shit. Like… really bad. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say it’s a wonder I’m not dead. Lobo… he… he helped me slowly start to put myself back together again. 🥺 I found my own confidence from his swagger, his cavalier attitude, and the way he oozes self-assuredness. I started making art again after TWO YEARS of not picking up a pencil… and, it’s all thanks to Lobo. He gave me the courage to start over.

Now? I’ve got work coming in from all over, I’ve been hired by a company to illustrate their gaming cards, and I have Simon Bisley in my phone contacts. I’ve made good friends with Glenn Fabry, Jim Balent, Kyle Hotz, and Rudy Ao, among others. They all love my work, and I can’t tell you how encouraging that is for an artist who has been dragged through Hell and survived.

I owe Lobo everything. 🥹💕 He is and always will be my Main Man.

I got my wee miniature husbando in the mail today! 😍 I’m so happy. Considering how much I’ve seen this tiny Lego ‘Bo go for on eBay and other places, the $30 I paid for him seems to be quite the bargain! Isn’t he too cute?

I sprained the holy fragaroli out of my ankle 2 days ago, so I definitely needed this little guy to cheer me up. What a drag…
