Hello all! So I've really gotten into needle felting, and I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in getting their own needle felted character. I'd be opening this up as commissions once I get my owed art queue completely finished. (so hopefully in a month or so, I really want to knock these out) The prices would be case by case, but would start at 50usd plus whatever it is to ship the actual doll to you. Feel free to comment if interested, and I'll get back to everyone who does if I open these up.

Right now I'm working on making better examples (hi besties, watch your backs) but here's a couple things I've done so far

Here's my finished doll of beck as an example (5 inches tall)

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!!

That's right! It's 2024 and we survived another year. I was so happy to see 2023 off, as it was quite an unpleasant year for me. I wont go into full detail, but it's been rough. I had a few personal issues come up as well as dealing with getting injured halfway through the year, which managed to set me back financially as well. So, a bit of a triple whammy, but hey! I'm still kickin'. 

That being said, I figured I would celebrate a bit and share some of my hopes and plans for the coming year. Today was my birthday, (Wooo! I'm 23 now), and I finally decided that this is going to be the year I make my own story. I've had a few concepts kicking around in the ol' noggin for a while, and I realized that there's really no reason to keep putting off making them. So This year, I'm going to finally take a crack at outlining and planning my story start to finish. My ideal would be to have at least a rough draft by the end of the year. I think it'll be tough, but I know it'll be worth it. I also have a few more goals for the year that I won't go into as much, but to share the gist of them it's mainly learning animation, and getting my finances and life in order. 

Anyways, Thanks for reading through this wall of text. Even if you didn't read all of it, I still appreciate ya'. I do want to make one final note before I head back into the aether of the real world. I do still plan on completing any and all work I currently haven't completed. If I owe you work in any form, feel free to shoot me a DM or comment here. I do apologize for the delays, but I assure you I will get your work done. If you haven't heard from me about your work, please reach out. If you no longer wish to receive your work feel free to inform me, and we can work out a refund or work to come to a satisfactory conclusion for both parties. 

TLDR: 

• 2023 was rough, but we made it, Happy new year!
• I've got big plans for 2024 ;3c
• Also! Today's my Birthday :3
• If I owe you work, please contact me so that I can get that to you.

I finally made a ref of bark, so I think it be fun to get art of him. Anyone wanna do a quick color sketch trade? 

The ref <3

Also i have a bluesky now, no posts yet, but soon... ( @blackcatskulls.bsky.social )

I'm thinking about putting together a discord for people interested in animation. I am still really new to animation, but I thought it be fun to set up a server where we can all learn together and show off our projects.

If you enjoy animation and would like to be notified of the servers grand opening feel free to drop a comment here and I can invite you if this gets enough interest.

This would be my first time running a server so tips on the technical side of making a server would be cool too. :3

Life Update:

My arm's still broken, but its getting better! It should be better in a few months hopefully <3

I feel like I've been neglecting some of my characters and it's making me a lil sad, so I'm taking offers on my whole toyhouse.

Here are all the characters I have up for offers

Characters outside of that folder are unlikely, but feel free to shoot your shot, because who knows.

I'm mainly looking for characters I will actually use and draw or comfort Characters to cheer me up. 

I'll also look at USD through paypal and Art, though I might be picky with art since I do still love my guys and I'm a little hesitant.

Some things I like are:
-Yellow Happy Face
-rainbow
-Kidcore
-Space
-Alien/UFO/Silly green guys
-D&D artificer class
-Wings on heels
-Rollerskates
-Characters in here
-Also Very much dudes in here <3

I plan on being a werewolf, Y'all better watch out!

I'll be revenging anyone who attacks me even if its just a lil sketch back. Also If you have funny lil characters you want me to attack you can drop a link here or just attach your AF tag and I'll go wild. I will be prioritizing vampires to see how many points I can get this year, but I always end up doing friendly fire.

Prep Stuff for my reference (characters I might upload)

Info here

TLDR and trigger free: I'm gonna be busy, but I plan on working on commissions and owed work. That being said, I want to do some little stress free trades between all that to warm up and just kind of unwind.

If you want to trade, let me do my half first please. I don't want more on my plate due to everything going on.

you can take long as you want for your half, I'll try to ping you after a couple weeks though.

I'm only doing sketches like these rn, but they can be animated if you want. lmk if you want a single color backing to make them pop I can do this on animations too no problem.

These are the characters I want art of 

Oh! also if I owe you art and you haven't heard from me in a bit, DM me please and I'll add you to my queue and get back to you ASAP. I don't want to leave anyone hanging.

Long version: (Trigger warning: Bad mental health stuff mainly depression and medication )

I plan on participating in ArtFight this year. My current hit list is the people who attacked me last year. 

I'm going to prioritize attacking back, but! Feel free to comment with your ArtFight and a link to your TH tag for AF if you want me to attack you, and you might get hit.

Honestly when the site goes down in the first couple days I'll probably be coming back to this list, so don't forget to tag your AF characters.

Here's the marketplace post (again lol)

I wasn't scheduled for any hours at work this week, so I have time to take on some more coms! 

My prices did go up, as It does take me a bit of time to work on these, and I want to guarantee everyone gets songs that they are happy with. I might raise my prices again as I'm still getting the hang of how long it takes me on average to finish a song, and also as I learn more the quality of my work improves, so I'm trying to find a good balance. 

If you have recommendations for pricing let me know I'd love to hear from you guys.

I'm also getting into vocal synths, I just downloaded Synth V and have been playing around with it, so I'd love some recommendations for some different types of songs to try making. Feel free to be vague, as I'm cool with even just a feeling, genre, or theme. Also show me songs you like! I want get inspiration from lots of different sources!  

Once I feel comfortable enough I'll probably start offering vocals, So if that's something that interests you lemme know and I can ping you when those officially open.

Anyway! Thanks for reading through this, I'll probably be doing little updates like this every so often, since I think it be cool to have more of a dialogue with y'all.
