Thanks For Being Along On The Journey Of 2024 With Me! 🎉 I Have A Lot Of Big Plans, Creatively, For

And YES, more than half of these tropes fit Discord, that's why I cannot shake this scrunkly even 10+ years later...

(Especially since I really love the headcanons that say Discord was an artifically created being/homunculus... it's not canon but... it's not not canon either)

Some of my favorite tropes!

(just for the heck of it)

Character who starts out as an antagonist/villain and goes through a redemption arc

^ The above, but after they are redeemed, they still struggle to integrate in with 'the good guys' and have a long road of earning the trust of others

Homunculus/artificially created being who is misunderstood by others/longs to understand humanity

^ Especially when they are good but were created by someone evil

As an alternative take, a homunculus/artificially created being who was made by someone very good and struggles to live up to their creator's light

A very hard to get along with/seemingly jerk-y character who is actually extremely loving and sensitive deep down, and it shows around the people they trust

Siblings who are mirrors of the other (what they might be, could have been, and wish they were), who understand each other more deeply than anyone else but struggle to reconcile themselves to one another

Villains/antagonists who give the hero a terrible time but are actually really kind and considerate to their own associates (has a found family with all of their henchmen, has really good healthcare benefits and perks for their workers, is able to upkeep positive relationships and is actually respected)

I made this little design of the gremlin as a snowman... snow-woman... snow-gremlin?! This sticker design will be the first design to kick off 'Gremlin's Penpal'! Follow the link in my bio if you're interested in this unique design, and in joining the tier! This design will never be available anywhere else online again, so get her while you can folks.

I'm so glad that I've finally begun to get over my long time fear of sharing my characters to others! It feels so rewarding that I finally have gotten to the place where I can, because I had dreamed about getting to do so for so long. I've had a couple of people draw them lately and it just?? Makes me so happy that I want to explode??

"Wolpertinger Family Leporidae Volaticus ramusalis

Reddish hue, with grey-blue primary feathers and ruddy patches on its legs and back.

Native to the eastern European Alps, these creatures are shy and like small colonies in rocky burrows. Males - also known as "bucks" - grow antlers after the second year.

Young are born sightless and helpless underground, where they are raised by the colony until maturity; a matter of weeks. Females and young greatly resemble their closest relative, the Skvader (Volaticus suecia) while males seem akin to the Jackalope (Volaticus americanus) of the American Rocky Mountains. All Volaticus spp. seem to prefer altitude."

"Antlers: genus Volaticus V. ramusalis "Wolpertinger" V. americanus "Jackalope" V. miraji "Al-miraj" V. raspel "Rasselbuck" V. suecia "Skvader" "

Oh I love making up fake species profiles. Blame my proclivity for birding, I suppose. All of these are 'real' folklore rabbits from around the world. Credit for the Wolpertinger references goes to @meklarian's lovely desert cottontail photography, which was both the basis and inspiration for these!

A little comic featuring a return of my very special and wonderful buddy (she is @hannah_stayton_art on Instagram)! This is our average shopping experience. I hope you enjoyed this week's installment of 'Slices of Gremlin'! I am going to continue updating every Tuesday, and if you would like to support the comic and get early access, you can sign up to be a member of the 'Little Creature Club' on Ko-Fi!

I heard this audio (originally from Isle of Dogs) and knew that it was a perfect fit for Witherspoon! 👀 It relates to some conflicts in the story that are spoiler-y, but I thought the animatic itself isn't too spoiler-y to share! I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Here is the progress of a recent commission that I did! 👀 I don't officially have commissions open, but if there's anything you'd really like to commission then you are free to send me a message and we can see if we can work something out! This is a memoriam piece for a sweet doggy that passed away.

Here is March's design for the Gremlin's Penpal tier of my Ko-Fi! It's the gremlin as a mischievous little leprechaun with her pot of gold. 🤑 You can get this design by signing up to the tier anytime during the month of March! I have also decided to add January and February's stickers to my Ko-Fi store, but only active members of the Gremlin's Penpal tier can buy them! God bless!

she's a 10 but she secretly wants repentance and redemption arcs for all the villains
