Belt is bedazzled! I’m working on the last, but def the largest piece, the jacket and I’m def starting to feel the crunch! I’m loving how it’s all looking though and can’t wait to see it all put together! I’m also SO excited for the con even more so now that this is my second tfcon and I’m more comfortable and acquainted with more ppl!

Completed matrix! I just need to attach the chain and it’s ready to wear! I used the rhinestones to look like light spilling out of the center. The look and process reminded me of using pointillism to create value 🩵

Finished with Roller’s rhinestones! Boots, matrix, and belt are almost done and then I’m starting to remake the jacket this week! I’ve got alittle over 3 weeks left before the con! I’m making some new finials too but it’s been abit of a struggle.

Gonna be at TFCon Baltimore (which is looming just a couple-ish months away now) .... got my new table banner all done! pretty much all the plushies shown on the display are the ones that will be available -- I tried to make at least 2 of each plush tho some are only 1. I will also have a fair number of keychain plush and I'm working on some new patches to add to the stuff.

Like the pride badges? Pop over to my Ko-Fi and let me know if I should stock some of those patches in my shop (I don't check into here much, so hit me on Ko-Fi or BlueSky)

Inktober day 9. Hound.

This. I learned this years ago when I realized my ‘dream’ that I worked for all my life and graduated from art school for was NOT going to happen. It was rough and discouraging but I will say I’m glad it didn’t happen and I’m much better off where I’m at now. My job is a desk job but it pays well and isn’t so demanding I’m making myself stressed or sick. I go, clock in, clock out, and leave. I am just there for a pay check, but it lets me afford a very comfortable lifestyle living alone, supports my hobbies, and lets me enjoy my free time and vacations. I don’t think about work while I’m off either which is a huge plus. Trying to make my hobby (drawing and painting) into my career completely killed my passion for it and I haven’t done it since I graduated because I get such bad anxiety and I hate everything I produce.

my career advice isn't "do what you love" it's "do what will give you the most money without making you want to kill yourself"

May I ask how a beautiful girl like yourself got into a not very girly thing like Transformers?

because I want to fuck robots

I repinned my ita bag so it’s just Ratchet (it was Ratch and Knockout since I didn’t have a lot of merch) and I’m so happy with it! Pretty good mix of G1 through TFP and the IDW comics. There’s even two pieces of SG Ratchet as well lol! All of this except for the figure is fan made merch! If you have questions about any of them let me know and I’ll see if I can link the source!

Ugh I so wish we got a Shattered Glass episode or two in TFP!

A little collection of shattered glass tfp edits I've made over time (part 1/?, I won't chill until I redraw all of them)

It’s officially been (over) a year since I posted my very small Ratchet collection so I figured it’s time for an update! I’ve added a lot more and it’s still growing! I love this grumpy ass old man ;; This doesn’t include the absurd amount of pins and keychains I have of him too in an ita bag lol!
