WHA brushbuddies commentary/design thoughts:

First, thank you to @xia0ming56 for inspiring me to give the WHA brushbuddies their hair instead of leaving them bald 🙏

Orufrey brushbuddies aren't straight(ha) black and white, they have other colors on their bodies(but not their hair). Qifrey has some blue and gray mixed in, and Olruggio has purple and teal (but it's not very visible x.x). The kids are just plain colors because I decided that in addition to their tails growing with age, these magical brushbuddies also become a bit more colorful.

Also, their tails are loosely positioned to form a heart ❤️

Tetia and Coco are just vibing with the brushbuddy life, Agott is grumpy because HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO PRACTICE MAGIC LIKE THIS!??!?!, and Richeh is ready to take a nap.

Overall, I rate them 10/10, would brushbuddy again.

WARNING: DANGEROUSLY CUTE

Orufrey and the Qiflings suffered a run-in with the Brimmed Caps, and have been turned into brush buddies 😱

Unfortunately, the Brimmed Caps immediately died from cuteness overload, so our heroes' most direct path back to humanity is no longer available 😓

Hopefully the casualties can be kept to a minimum until a solution is found...

... Agott doesn't seem to be taking this very well 😬

How dare you combine WHA and unicorns, how am I supposed to resist this!?

The real reason your sapient dragon character needs a "rider":

Dragons on the wing are vulnerable to being mobbed by smaller, more agile flyers, particularly in your large rear blind spot, like a bird of prey being mobbed by crows. Having a human armed with a long spear perched on your back helps to dissuade anyone from getting any funny ideas.

Breath weapons are impressive enough on the ground, but in flight they're really only good for strafing stationary targets; trying to use your breath weapon in an aerial dogfight is a good way to get fire up your nose. A real fight calls for sterner measures – and, concomitantly, a crew to aim and reload the cannons.

In today's competitive world, it's not enough to devour a flock of sheep and call it a day if you want to keep your edge. You're accompanied at all times by a qualified personal alchemist tasked with carefully regulating your internal furnace to ensure peak performance, and sometimes you even listen to them.

No dragon of any quality would be caught dead without their valet. It's not as though you can announce your numerous long-winded titles yourself when introductions are called for, can you? You suppose next you'll be expected to pick up the spoils of your conquests yourself, like a common brigand. Perish the thought!

youtube with ublock origin experience of the 20 second gap between every video on a playlist where youtube desperately throws itself against the impervious ever-evolving uncaring face of the adblocker's wall screaming and clawing and calling PLEASE! PLEASE, OUR AD REVENUE!! DON'T YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS CREATOR? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OUR WALLETS? AND THEIRS? into the vast and empty sky before the adblocker gently raises one of its many iron-banded arms and flicks youtube away into the void just to hear its wails fade slowly into nothing

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

2025 Christmas felt number 8

It's a green fox.

I'm free now!

Group pic:

Left to right:

Bubbles the yellow tang for my fun aunt, polar bear cubs for my parents, the emotional support demon for my sister, a grey and green squirrel for my other aunt's boyfriend, a frosty blue squirrel for the other aunt, a purple fox for my uncle, and a green fox for his wife.

Apparently this was the year for matching gifts for couples.

2025 Christmas felt number 4

I actually started this one first, then got overwhelmed and switched to the creative misinterpretation.

Emotional support demon for my sister.

Halfway there -.-

2025 Christmas felts - day... don't ask x.x

Twelve days ago, I finished the first 2025 Christmas needle felt. Foolishly, I took that as a sign that I was on track to finish earlier than ever before.

NOPE

WRONG

MY HUBRIS KNEW NO BOUNDS

Depression took one look at me trying to get things done in a timely manner and went "Can't have that, lemme just turn the motivation dial down."

Finally, Anxiety burst in panicking about how Christmas was a little over a week away and I'd only finished one project ;-;

ANXIETY OVERRIDE ACTIVATE

Polar bear cubs for parents, since in previous years they've each gotten an adult polar bear, so I made a pair of cubs to finish the family.

Concerningly-close-to-panic-felting will continue until all gifts are done.

2025 Christmas needle felts - day 1

Starting out with creative misinterpretation for my maternal aunt.

From this year's list, I have chosen: bubbles.

The misinterpretation: bubbles, the yellow tang from Finding Nemo.

I know the eyes are wrong, I based it on a RL yellow tang because the cartoon eyes might clue her in that this is a character.

(also, checked the dates on previous Christmas needle felts, and this is a surprisingly early start, so... yay me!) (no panic felting... hopefully)

[askbananapie]

I got a early Christmas present from a good friend from America

[crazyhorses57]

Glad to see he made it across the Atlantic!
