sHAPES AND COLORS
Been trying to do some more varied face/body shapes (I've been falling back into old habits recently blehhh) and wanted to mess around with Verity's party. Also some Lapis/Laz for morale. Have I mentioned here that we know Larry's real name now?? I forget lmao
I do this "bashing out the silhouette" thing in digital art a lot for poses but never liked doing it in my sketchbooks- something about the highlighters I like to sketch with turning out patchy and disagreeing with the paper texture. But now I've got some brush markers that don't bleed thru the paper and I'm having fuuuuuun <3
(I actually have a bigger set of these markers coming in the mail tomorrow so I'm hoping some lighter colors will be fun to mess with :>)
Happy first Sunday of 2025! Since it's been a chilly week, today's WIP showcase features one of my favorite ice skaters: Yuri Katsuki from Yuri on Ice! He's always a pleasure to make since I get to use my glitter yarn for him! Pattern design by @53stitches
And if you haven't seen my recent Kofi update, you should go check that out here!

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.
Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"
Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.
Today's Sunday Showcase: Cozy crustaceans as a commission for a friend!
Sealing the second side of the keychains using diluted modpodge this time and so far, everyone's looking way better and less washed out. Here's hoping my solution worked!
Listen, it's a day early, but as it's my last craft show before I take my in-person hiatus, enjoy these sad photos of this joke of a show.

Hello friends! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. If you've been following me for a while now, you'll know I'm notoriously bad at social media. So bad in fact, that I have an alarm set up for it on Sundays, and I've been so overwhelmed and busy that I've been ignoring it the past few weeks. For that, I'm sorry, and I'll try to be better, but it's hard out here. Being an independent artist, really, being anyone who's not a rich white dude...it's hard to just exist, let alone thrive. Hopefully you'll stick around just a little while longer, because I still have some super cute amis to show off when I have the energy to make them. Until then, remember to hydrate, take your meds, and take care of yourselves and each other. We're all in this together, for better or worse, and we're stronger as a community.
Hello and welcome to Nerdvana Crafts! Where you can find handmade gifts for the nerds in your life! My name is Sly and I am a neurodivergent fiber artist who crochets amigurumi from a variety of fandoms. Each item is made to order, and may take 2-4 weeks to make and ship. Each item is also made in the presence of a cat so if you have allergies, please message me and I will do everything in my power to prevent kitty contamination. All of my creations are intended as fan art, and because I use a variety of patterns, their sizes will vary as well!
