I am an artist and I post my digital art on other websites. However, this blog will have all of my crafting and fandom shenanigans. I'll probably post about my fan characters here, too. There might be some OC x canon (or more like OC with canon) stuff eventually. I'll likely focus on mostly Tribe Nine and Honkai: Star Rail stuff.

Hehe I've also been making some polymer clay stuff for my HSR obsession.
I have four (ig five now, technically?) favorite characters: Sampo, Aventurine, Sparkle/Sparxie, and Cipher. So, I wanted to make something that features all of them (except Sparxie didn't exist when I made this) and landed on making a charm of them in cake cat form. I had to come up with designs for Sampo and Cipher since there aren't any official cat cakes based on them. I love this charm very much and have it attached to a little Aventubirb bag that I got for Christmas last year. It's really easy to find literal aventurine, so I added a charm with aventurine stone to it, too. :3
I have the Aventurine Nendo, as well, but I thought he looked a little lonely so I made his three cat cakes from the one concert trailer. I think they look very cute and they are, in fact, stackable.
I have more stuff to make in mind. For example, I want to make individual cat cake figures of the four listed above + Ratio and Anaxa, and maybe chimera versions of all of them, too. I also want to make charms of Aha, Sparkle/Sparxie, and Aventurine's masks. And make Cipher's necklace IRL for me to wear, upon many a other things. I need to get caught up with the game first, though. I hope there's been more Masked Fool/Mourning Actor lore since the first Planarcadia update. I'm obsessed with those two factions...
Last year, not long after the EOS announcement, I made a little figurine of nui Zero out of polymer clay and acrylic paint. I posted this to the Tribe Nine subreddit back then, too, and someone said his mouth looks like balls. I have to agree lol
Everything else here is from this year! I second image is of a pin I made of nui Zero. The hairs are made out of plastic paintbrush fibers that I glued together and painted black. I love this pin it's one of my most favorite things I've made.
Then, I've tried making stuff out of shrink plastic. I actually got shrink plastic because I want to make a Kazuki keychain at some point, but I'm still trying to figure out what pose n shit to do for that. Anyway, my nui Zero keychain here warped A LOT while in the oven. He was supposed to be perfectly round, but now he's ovular and all of the proportions are off. It's still cute enough and I use it as a phone charm. It cheers me up a lot at work, especially when it flips over and shows hole. I used colored pencil on the front, and then painted the back with acrylic paint after it was baked. I forgot to paint his paws on the back. Oopsies.
I tried to make another nui Zero shrinky dink where I painted it before baking. Let's just say, I think Zero would laser me over how badly it turned out...
Umm, anyway, I also made the Trash Tribe logo out of polymer clay and used it as a charm for a necklace. I took a wooden bead, sanded it, and then repainted it to look like an XB ball, too. I think it turned out nice. :3
Finally, I made like a photocard charm of Kauzki, ig??? I printed off an image of Kazuki, then used some washi tape and ribbon for the border. Between the ribbon and the washi tape is laminating plastic. Oh, also the photo is supported by some thick card board I cut from the back of one of my sketchbooks. The frame turned out wonky, but whatever. I want to find something to glue into the bottom right corner, but I haven't decided on what...
I have several more projects planned. I want to make (game) Kazuki's jacket pin out of polymer clay and attach it to a jacket of mine that looks similar to his. I also want to make (game) Kazuki's t-shirt since I like the design on it. Since his reference specifies the black portion were sewn in, I need to find two similar white and black shirts to make it. I'm not sure if I'm going to go through with this one since I think it will be a lot of work, but I want to custom paint an aluminum baseball bat to look like a beam bat (I might switch to a wooden one if I find one that feels accurate enough, but I already have an aluminum bat...). Also, I want to make shrink plastic keychains of a bunch of characters, not just nui Zero and Kazuki. Lots to do, so little time...
The first photo shows the first figurine I made after having stopped using polymer clay for several years. It is of my fursona, Mori, and it turned out quite scrunkly lol.
Maybe a week or so after, I created the second figurine pictured, which is of my favorite OC, a nekomata named Tsukioka Hiromu (a.k.a. Mushi). I'm still quite proud of this figurine. I especially loved the glasses!
I then immediately made the third figurine, which is just a headshot of Mushi. I thought it could work as a necklace charm or something, but obviously, the glasses and whiskers and much too delicate. So, it mainly just serves as a decoration for my shelf. I love how it turned out! The eyes are painted, too, but I couldn't get a good photo since the glasses get in the way!
Finally, I also made a figurine of one of my fox yōkai OCs, named Kuroneko (which literally just means "black cat." I named him that since he kind of looks like a cat to me). His boater cat turned out adorable, in my opinion. :3
I think around 2020, I bought a set of polymer clay and tools at a thrift store. I created a lot of little things back then, but stopped using polymer clay for several years as I had to move to a different country for grad school and didn't bring any art supplies other than some pens and my Wacom tablet. When I moved back to the US, I got back into polymer clay. These are some of the critters I created in early 2025, soon after returning home.
I'm obsessed with Japanese yōkai, to the point that they've influenced my academic career. My MA is in East Asian Studies, and I focused on a form of tale literature called setsuwa for my MA thesis. Such tales often include yōkai, and some made their way into my thesis, too. Anyway, all that just to say, I love yōkai! But, it's hard to get "merch" of them in the US (though I do have a sizable collection of yōkai folk toys/folk art, which I might post here or to a side blog someday). So, I've made some stuff for myself.
The first one, and honestly my favorite of the three, is a kappa. He's the cute, little green creature. I'm still very proud of the shell. The second one is an umibōzu - a giant sea creature. I don't know if it's obvious or not, but the blue stuff is supposed to be waves. The last one is a nuppeppō, which essentially looks like a walking blob of flesh. Unfortunately, while baking the nuppeppō, the clay cracked a bunch. At first I was sad, but then realized I could use red paint to make it look like a bloody crack in his skin. In the end, I'm pretty happy with that one, too. It certainly looks like a blob of flesh.
There is one other yōkai who I started last June and haven't finished painting. I need to get on that lol
"Art Fight Tribe"
Umm, for my first post to this account, I think it should be this! ^^
For Art Fight 2025, I decided to draw every single Tribe Nine fan character in one big mass attack. Only one ended up being excluded, simply because the owner of that character didn't join last years fight. </3 Anyway, there was a Kazuki AU uploaded to Art Fight, too, so I thought it would be cute to center him as if he was a founder of an "Art Fight Tribe" comprised on fan OCs. I loved drawing everyone! :'3
OCs/Credits from top to bottom, left to right: Nekogami Nagato (my OC), Riccota Ochako, Mayumi, Raika Hirade, Ayumi Ochako, Nekomata Shiro, Bancho Semba, Jay Cyano, Kagome Kumomine, Minoru Momota, Miwa Toshika, Aoyama Kazuki Vamp AU, Nekomata Midori, Miyuki Kai, Miyuki Kai, Chisana Gin, and Oshino Sayori.
