Ko-Fi Memberships, Shop, is now Open! Help Fund my Dreams and make them Reality

For those who don't want a long read: I am finally opening up monthly Memberships on my Ko-Fi, as well as offering up high-resolution prints of some of my art for download! My goals in 2025 are to work on not one, but TWO new children's books, one fully written and illustrated by yours truly. Join today and get news on my book updates and any other original work I may be working on.

I plan on providing monthly updates for members, and it's all available in a single, comprehensive tier: the $3 Noodle Tier. The Noodle Tier currently gives access to updates and to my discord with a special role. Nothing fancy, just the privilege of watching my work come to life.

It's a very small price monthly to simply help keep me above water in these trying times. And that includes NO AI: All made by me, with words by people, and drawings from life.

Thank you everyone who supports, and has followed me for so long on this journey!

Now for the long part lol

I don't talk about this a lot, but for many years, I have feared (rejected) the idea of a Patreon. Mostly because, I would see what artists were doing, fulfilling orders and burning themselves out on a monthly basis. I never saw what I was doing as worth that. I never believed I would be able to keep promises, and I don't like making promises I can't keep.

But over the years, my tune has been changing. I have realized I can simply ask for support, and in doing so, that support can help me do what I want to do, as opposed to what I think I need to be doing, and in turn, be able to produce more. I also have been changing my tune because after so long, I have finally realized: I cannot make what I want to make, alone.

May is my birthday month, and what I would really like for my birthday more than anything, is a little more financial security to help my pursue the things I would love to do with my life and my time. I chose Ko-fi because I trust it more than I do Patreon, and it gives me far more freedom and flexibility with how I can approach my customers.

What is the first thing I would like to share with my members? Information on what I want to do most right now: Starting on not one, but TWO children's books -- one centered on a very special borzoi named Jack and his story, and one based on my own two dogs, Strudel and Zill. This support will also help fund any other smaller projects I would like to work on, including paintings, prints, editing, learning Blender, and more.

For now, the tiers will unlock sketches and works in progress on pages as they are illustrated and painted. Some of the final images will be available for preview there, but not all of them, for the sake of the book. As work progresses, you'll learn firsthand on any ideas for kickstarters or crowdfunding campaigns, to make one or both of these books happen.

Once again, thank you to everyone always for your support! Whether it is through commissions, monthly subscriptions, my twitch subs, or just general moral support of being there for me, I can't thank you enough. This sort of support is very difficult for me to do, I never have felt like I had enough to give. But finally, I have a goal and a direction I want to move. Thank you to everyone who is helping me move that way, and making my longtime dreams, a reality.

Until next time! I will see you then. Please feel free to share!

I’m not gonna lie… when I first saw Alex The Hoarder, I didn’t make the connection of a “pack rat”.

I thought he was a B O R Z O I

[clown-femme]

i'm thinking about her (owning a borzoi)

[bobomcfoe]

Had a dream where I got a borzoi and named it dvd normal

[canisalbus]

i am joining the ”saw a dream about machete and vasco” club, except the only thing that happened was that you decided to change machete’s name to grigorio. the first few moments of being awake, where i opened tumblr and saw the new machete art, were very confusing

.

[i-post-my-dreams]

Obsessed with borzois rn. Like what do you mean they actually look like that. Boy why are you snout.

[boozois]

creature of the night

this is a very special post, since @devilseyev requested me to edit their greyhound, Nora, into a picture! i had a lot of fun with this. if you would like your dog to be edited as well, regardless of breed, don't hesitate to ask/pm me :D

[szczekaczz]

are there any specific dog breeds you want to get in the future? mine are borzois, but i have a young bull terrier already, so maybe in a few years...

oooh such a nice question :') if i had to choose a breed i think it would be some kind of terrier. i love their brave and independent way of being, they just know what they want and aren't afraid to go for it :') my dog is a jack russell mix and these little guys are just amazing. in the place where we were living for the past ten years there were a few west highland white terriers and they all seemed so friendly and sweet, my dog was always happy to meet them during our walks <3 livestock guardian dogs have fascinating personalities too imo, i would love to get to get to know more of them irl! there's this one foundation who rescues them and it always posts the most interesting videos of them interacting..

and now realistically speaking it wouldn't be any specific breed because there's too many dogs in poland and i'm personally not comfortable with financially supporting any breeding in here for now ✌️ shelters and temporary homes are full of all kinds of dogs one can think of and i think i'd simply want to get to know a specific dog, about their personality and who they are, and just see if we click with each other. when i was still volunteering at the shelter, the breeds and types didn't really matter in my case - it was just up to an individual dog if we bonded more closely or not :)

here are some photos of the guys and girls that i became close to. as you can see they were all very different and it was all about the personality ❤️ first two are terrier-like, third one is a pittie mix and the last two are just random village dogs. they all found new homes by now and i'm so happy for them!

[asleepinawell]

oh boy! just what I always wanted!

Dream & Spiders

[tortellini-time]

I had a dream last night where i walked into a kitchen that was not my own and the entire plot of the next drawtectives episode was written out in the oven's display. In the dream the episode had just come out and this was a normal way to gain information, also there were pictures. here are the main points

-porcino did not join the group, and the fandom was very sad. julia remembered porcino existed halfway through the episode but said they "couldn't go back, it was too late"

-the group instead adopted a dog that was like a borzoi but with butterfly wings for ears, it had no name and was photorealistic

-they left midnight alley and were just on a normal street during the day

-they met the pope, and I think that eugene knew the pope personally (i don't even know what the pope looks like, so in the dream he kinda just looked like the julia bobby hill in a pope hat)

-york was not there, jacob was though

So sorry to leak the plot of next episode, but i had to /j

[photozoi]

A couple of months ago Jeep lost his favourite toy. (I found it wedged under something while cleaning...

... and placed it next to him on the couch while he was napping.)

Jeep woke to an alternate reality, where his toy was RIGHT NEXT TO HIM and he did not know how it got there!

This fact needed some Processing Time.

Was it really there? Or was he dreaming?

If he moved would it disappear?

Please to give reassurances to the confused pupper.

Borzoi

part 2 of turning everyone in gravity falls into creatures !! also my specific monsterfalls lore involves human versions of The Horrors so some of those will be in here also

(part 1)

i’m pretty sure unicorns already have some kind of association with nobility or the upper class or whatever and the in-universe unicorns are. Like That. so i think it fits :)

someone on tiktok said she’d be a cyclops and i agree :3 a lot of older depictions of cyclopes seem to still have like empty sockets where the eyes would normally be which i thought was neat so i kept that, felt like she needed smth extra too so i gave her little sheep ears & a tail :3 something something odyssey reference

LISTEN HEAR ME OUT OK i don’t. like a lot of more stereotypical “demon” depictions of bill. like i think it would be neater if he had a design where u could imagine him doing his whole “i’m a muse :D” thing and actually be believable yknow. also he’s short this guy totally has tiny man rage u can’t convince me otherwise

orthrus-like thing for blubs & durland :) blubs is a shih tzu for the mustache and durland is a borzoi bc he long. also for anyone concerned this au is post-canon & all of these people were born human they are not related lmao

baku fiddleford. LISTEN OK there’s like this whole thing of “oh yeah baku will eat ur nightmares but if they’re still hungry they’ll eat ur hopes and dreams too and leave u an empty shell of the person u once were” and i read that and i thought abt him and it made me sad so now all of u have to be sad too

toby determined is a squonk. i don’t even have to explain this one

tad strange is a normal human.

(personally i think of him as some kind of lovecraftian horror in human form but he can be whatever u want lol)

cockatrice tambry ?? i had no clue what to do with her other than that she kind of has bird vibes to me, and the cockatrice has enough edgy teenager energy that i think it works

mrs gleeful is an asrai bc they have anxiety and also it’s an excuse to give her a pool vacuum

human axolotl !! i really like the sort of pastel space thing they have going on in canon, hopefully this fits them :)

that is all for now !!! if i remember i’ll link part 3 here when i have it :D

edit: at long last

[justcallme-ange]

Hellooo, I've been going through your account and I love your Techno design.

When I saw how long his snout is I just imagined him like having a dumb fight with Dream and Techno defending himself by doing the borzoi face and saying towards Dream: "Didn't I break you out of prison?" but looking down at Dream because he's taller-

I don't know if I explained my idea well enough, English is not my first language-

You explained perfectly no worries XD

This is the look Dream gets every time Techno wants something 😂

*Does a Borzoi Run but in dragon*

Made a thing over on the Flight Rising forums again. This time with a Skydancer!! And a very pretty one at that.

I’m very glad that @passbyers enjoyed this piece, and I had fun making it too!! Hope to be making more art for myself and others.

Anywho, hope y’all enjoy! I’m still working on the second pic for Fever Dream, but got a little overwhelmed by life. So I drew Hati to relax.

(The butterfly gene always trips me up and i hate drawing it but it looks so CUTE)

Toodles~!
