BombyxLad!

Hello! My name is Bombyx, or Thunder 🏳️‍⚧️ They/itself Patreon! I am an artist of many mediums. Painter, sculptor, seamstress, fursuit maker… I’m an enjoyer of all things upcycled! My traditional pieces often include found objects, dumpster dive objects, etc Working on a charity project? Email me! I’d love to provide art for that 💪🏼💪🏼 thunderworks.business(at)gmail.com

Dragons live perpetually in my brain. Socials directory page (carrd)

This blog was made as a replacement for @thunderworks, it disappeared & is apparently in purgatory (I can't remake under the same username RIP) … Currently my queue is full of old art to have a sort of archive on this blog, along with uploading my new stuff.

Miku expo photo dump! I was hooting and hollering so much I lost my voice for a bit. My throat still hurts.

I cannot express my joy for finally being able to see our lord and savior Hatsune Miku accompanied by a live band. Shoutout to the band, they really made the show special.

Thank you so much to everyone who gave out freebies! Absolutely spectacular artwork.

Thank you @megshrm so much for the print!!!! It’s beautiful and going on the wall.

Also shoutout to my partner @bombyxlad ‘s lobotomized jingley Kaito plushie.

dragon teapot

sold inquiries: thunderworks.business(at)gmail.com

Finished project of this greenware! A dragon hatchling is emerging from its egg, still having egg tooth on its nose… Thrown base, handbuilt details. Stoneware with underglaze & cone 10 dip. This is a functional teapot! His neck is hollow, liquid comes out his mouth. Holds about one cup of water. My favorite part, he can whistle! If you blow into the top of the egg, noise comes out his mouth.

"Warble" Hand Puppet

Sold Inquiries: thunderworks.business(at)gmail.com

Made on top of a waxed paper coffee cup, this creature is covered in scraps of fur, lace, and fleece to give it a fuzzy appearance. He has a line of googly eyes down the front of his face, and has one eye on the underside of his chin. The jaw is movable, and so are the ears, you stick one finger into each ear if you want.

Wearer’s thumb is his “tongue.”

100% secondhand materials excluding the glue. All glued seams. Inside the cup is lined with a small piece of carpet (clean/unused, from a sample booklet that was being discarded).
