Yeah, I hadn't experienced this before and was shocked the price of an event I got into was what it was. Found out like a week before early reg closed that we also had to pay for registration and I'm like ?????? can you just list those together???
A tiny anthro tiger ball jointed doll. It is a pale blue resin and painted with blue stripes. It has a pink nose and pink eyes and is standing in a person's hand.

An attempt was made 😅
I slapped some stripes on this cutie patootie tiger from AileenDoll but ran out of time so I do feel like they're a bit rushed. But still, 3/4 blank dolls painted right before the con isn't bad!

edit: I named her Ginkgo!
Shoulder-up view of a small beige anthro tanuki ball jointed doll with a whimsical woodland theme. It is painted in soft browns and creams and decorated with little mushrooms, leaves, and flowers in red, green and yellow. The doll is being displayed to show off the paint and does not have eyes in the sculpt.
A more direct view of the faceup sans eyes. I preferred the golden ones I have but they're too large for the faceplate to sit on the headback so I'll have to make some flat-backed eyes or get some at doll con this weekend. #bjd #bjdcustomization #bjdfaceup #balljointeddoll

Another doll mostly done for #NYCdollcon! My @cocoriang.bsky.social pocha ended up being a totally different design than I had planned so now I need a new name! Feel free to drop some suggestions in the comments! #bjd #balljointeddoll #dolls #cocoriang #anthrobjd #anthro #tinybjd
A traditional marker badge for @nickthedragonNC.bsky.social of their blue dragon Dyson
A traditional marker badge for @siwius.bsky.social of their skunk critter Siwius
A pencil sketch for @splitgillstudio.bsky.social of their character Aurion
Commissions I did over @bewhiskeredcon.org! It was a pleasure getting to make some traditional art for folks for the first time in a long time~
For @nickthedragonnc.bsky.social, @siwius.bsky.social, and @splitgillstudio.bsky.social. Big thanks to y’all for commissioning me. 🧡🫂
A small, crow-shaped ball-jointed doll standing on a black cutting mat with white gridlines. The crow is black and the joints are outlined with copper foil. It has a pair of antlers and sparkly green eyes. The whole doll is covered in lichen and moss and there are kintsugi-like cracks that are also foiled.
I don't know if I'll be able to finish all my dolls but I figured I could at least get my @ybeedoll.bsky.social crow kit presentable for #NYCDollCon! There are so many other little details I want to add but if I can't get to it before I'm happy with where we're at! #bjd #balljointeddoll #dolls
oh dang, next time we're vending together, come HMU if you want some tea though - I always bring my big thermos and some loose leaf because I'll freeze in the dealers den otherwise lol.
Yoooo this was the most fun panel! I'm so glad it was post dealers den hours because I would have been so sad not to go! (Also my baby Matchacha won the runway! :D )
Gen-AI has no place in any creative industry. It is designed to replace skilled creatives and cannot and should not co-exist with actual hardworking people.
No excuses. No claims of time-saving or efficiency will ever outweight that its primary use is to not have to pay artists/writers/creatives.
Thank YOU a billion times over! Barely managing not to just EAT this artwork because I love it so much lol
Also - updated my convention labels - I'll be vending @carolinafurfare.bsky.social but unfortunately I won't be going to @fursonacon.bsky.social this year unless funds change.
If you'll be attending NYC Doll Con though, please let me know! I'd love to say hello in person!
Blue pencil sketch of a 'red' panda character standing on all fours and facing towards the viewer. They're surrounded by little tea leaves and stars and their name, Koicha, is written in bubble letters under their feet.
Black and yellow/gold pencil sketch of an anthropomorphic character that has a corvid skull surrounded by fluffy fur and rabbit-like ears. The sketch is from the waist up, showing the tail and expressive hands. The character's chest, arms, wrists, and fingers are decorated with gold bangles and chains. There's an accent of blue in the skull to indicate a glowing eye.
Absolutely beautiful sketches I got in trades from BeWhiskered! Koicha from @elvenhound.bsky.social and Aurion from Cedar of @camphowl.com! Absolutely love both of these and am so delighted to add them to my collection!
Two-panel comic First panel: axolotl kiki says that it is already April. Second panel: axolotl is crying, saying that it is not a lie. An atmosphere where axolotl wish all of this were a lie.
April fool

it says you have 5 now, and I see the two from you and the other person who also couldn't see the comments and these two as well.
MY BABIES ARRIVED! Their eyes follow you as you move and they have bouncy paws/hands! They are double sided, though the eyes only work on the front side. The paw can be placed on either side of the character! #kpopdemonhunters #derpytiger #redpanda #axolotl #fox #arcticfox #animalart
Also everyone should go follow my amazingly talented friend Pooka who is the GOAT (literally!)

Ahhhhh oh my gosh such an old gal! My babies are turning 9 this year and I love hearing when others have gotten well into their teens!
oh thank goodness. In the photo it's really hard to tell and I was shocked the axo was even alive still! I'm so relieved that it's just a backdrop!
That's a saltwater tank though, right? - axolotls aren't saltwater animals!
that's a fake axolotl decoration, right?
Yeah. It's just... Heartbreaking still. The Vonnegut quote you posted really resonated with my feelings about this too.
The other day I saw a bjd pro-artist blog post an AI video of their dolls. Today, I went to follow a ceramicist grant recipient & saw the stupid AI caricature trend. I just don't understand it & it's exhausting trying to explain to people, especially artists??? why AI use is bad on so many levels.
If anything, you're not charging enough even with your price increase. I totally understand trying to keep prices low, but at the cost of your mental health and wellbeing, it is tough. Your work is beautiful and I hope 2026 brings all the good things to you!
It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.
I think you might have accidentally tagged me instead of someone else! I don't make fursuits (yet lol).
