One of my favorite patterns I've ever done, but working on this fabric was a nightmare 😅 It was my first linen and I think it was just slightly too loose of a weave. But I'm so glad I pushed through and it's so amazing finished! I made the shiny gyarados and magikarp in etoile so they're actually shiny!
Pattern: “Pokémon Great Wave” from XStitchCollective on Etsy, based on art by Missypena
Fabric: 2x2 on 36ct PTP Dapple Linen
Started: 2/16/2020
Finished: 4/7/2023

so there's this meme about Very Known Art, how u know... it's been in the public conscience so long we all just kinda been ... jaded? desensitized? to it (the second half of the meme is: wow, its so small?)
and it is a thing that
Has Been Parodied
and in some form Replicated
Everyone has made a variant remix
and I do mean Everyone (no seriously, museum has One Piece on the wall. This isn't a goof; its a full part of the exhibit)
absolutely everyone (Uniqlo x Pokemon few years ago)
no seriously, everyone! (this by @missypena)
...... but then you see the actual real thing. And yeah its small....Seriously, a piece of printer paper small ... but also....
✧˖°. magical ˖°.✧
ヽ( ︶ω︶)ゞ
The colors are very lovely in person, and there's these tiny lil crinkly details..... (థฺ౪థ)
yeah yeah yeah, am participating in the meme - in a way - by taking a badly aimed cellphone snap myself

I finally got a chance to frame this gorgeous Umbreon art print by @missypena and I knew I had to hang it above the “be good shelf”, where the Cryptids come to say goodbye to me and be told to “Be good!” every morning when I leave for work (there’s Dearborn demonstrating). Now Umbreon watches over them!

So I just finished cleaning my “croffice” (craft room/office) and I think my favorite part right now is that I have a wall across from my armchair that’s dedicated to art. I’m kind of letting the display grow organically, so it’s not “perfect”, but I like it this way.
Two photos taken at odd angles because glare:
Prints purchased from.. (Thank you to everyone listed here!!!)
Signed map of Immoren and High Command poster from my days as a Press Ganger (volunteer game rep) for Privateer Press. (These are the only two pieces that get covered when the door is open and that are “corporate art”, and I’m okay with that)
The Knight, pair of mini prints, and Hugin and Munin from @catbatart
Castlevania poster from Mari (from the Dark Decades Kickstarter back in 2020, but the twitter handle listed there appears to have been changed or deleted in the time since)
Calendario Azteca from an unknown artist in Mexico (purchased in 2005 from a street vendor in Cuernavaca while I was there on an exchange program, so Google is of exactly 0 help here)
Aaravos from @missypena
And, the two prints I have yet to frame and put up from @abz-j-harding
(Frames have been ordered! I just wanted to wait until I got the prints in before ordering them.)
I cannot express how thrilled I am to see beautiful things that I truly love every day while I work from home and when I’m working on making things. Up next: putting legs on a vintage sewing machine to go under the Calendario Azteca.

Character: *Is named “Tarkhal”*
My brain: *goes Pokémon*
(Heavily inspired by the original character art by @missypena obv.)
Anyway, meet Torkoal “Tarkhal” Crownsilver, not entirely as portrayed on Nights of Eveningstar... he’s a Grass/Dark type.

Hi! Bit of a long shot but I'm looking for these specific orchid mantis face masks (with a white background i believe) and can't seem to find them! I thought maybe your blog was the one I saw them on but idk. Thank u!
they’re by @missypena ! She’s a great artist and I actually own the orchid mantis art on a pencil pouch and a print of the bee one. Here is the link to the mantis mask: https://www.redbubble.com/i/mask/Mantis-Prayer-by-zimmay/13919961.9G0D8.

It is seriously looking like I might do all four.
Based off @missypena’s official character art, here’s Night’s of Eveningstar’s Marcel as Garchomp. A steel/fighting type.
This started out with Tarkhal/Torkoal, so I wanted a Pokémon whose name sounded the same as the character’s. That turned out to be hard. So the criteria I came up with were:
1. Has to sound vaguely the same,
2. preferably a type swap, and
3. ...well whichever Pokémon I felt like, after that.
(Twenty minutes after deciding Garchomp was the one I felt like I was deep into “how the hell does that head even work? And why did I decide to draw him crouching when there’s no reference pics for that whatsoever? Ah yes because it’s Marcel and he’s waiting for people to decide things so he can go fight things” problems.)
