1000k followers on TikTok

Where did you all come from???

I have my TikTok and I post for fun, so I am amazed people like, comment and even follow me. I appreciate their support. I am grateful for the likes. I hope that means that I made them laugh a bit. And I am even more grateful for the comments. Some people comment again and again on my content. I start to recognize them. And some other people wrote very beautiful comments on how my content had a positive impact on their life. I am deeply moved. The internet is a vast space. I often call it a void, because I feel like you can post endlessly, yet, reach no one. To know that not only did I reach somebody, but I had a positive impact on them is a special warm feeling.

I don't even think anyone that is following me on TikTok reads my blog(prove me wrong in the comments). Well, in the end, all I can say it's thank you for all the likes, shares, comments and follows. May I be able to write another celebratory post in the future.

Wedding Diorama

 So I love all my Transformers figures. Love them all. Most of my current ones are made by Blokees. I only have 2 Yolopark ones: cog-less D-16 and Orion Pax. All the rest you see on my TikTok and Instagram are Blokees. And I like to collect ships. Having the figure it's amazing, but managing to get a pair????? Even better. I love ships like Megaop, Cygate, Dratchet, Dratchrod, Megarod, and the list goes on. I think shipping is one of the most fun part of being part of the fandom, but everyone is free to have fun in whatever way they want. 

So, what do my Transformers figures have to do with a wedding diorama?

I am marrying my figures! I will take wedding style pictures of all my ships and ships of friends because I CAN! I am also planning on taking ship requests on tumblr. 

Let's see hoe exactly I made this diorama?

Step 1: room

I am a long time follower of Myfroggystuff. So I just made a room in a box. I decided keeping 3 walls will allow me to add more decorations and take better pics. I covered the walls with plain white paper and added a red "carpet" on the floor to make the room look fancier. Since the walls are white, I added interest by making a layered structure in the back. This broke the plain white and added depth to the room.

White walls, blue floor, red carpet down the middle. The structure is done.

Step 2 Crystals

A friend said I have to at least try to make some crystals. I never worked with resin, so that was out the window. I took one look at my glue gun and saw the clear sticks. BINGO!

I cut the clear glue sticks to look more like crystals. I also cut myself right after I said I will be careful. After I made the general shape, I glued them in clusters of three. I tried some nail polish I had around the house and landed on this red one that kept them looking shiny. Some nail polish made them look matte, which wasn't what I was looking for this time. I also like them red because they match the carpet.

Step 3 Flowers

I went to a local Chinese Store and I picked some purple and pink fake flowers. My mission was to pick small flowers. I wish I found smaller ones, but these look good too. I loved that the flowers could be picked off the stem and look very in scale for the Transformers Galaxy line. The flower also comes off the little stem, which makes everything even better. I only cut or permanently alter a couple of flowers, which is great, cause it means I can reuse them on different projects. I didn't glue any accessories down in the diorama because at the end of the day, I will most likely recycle this diorama into something else (who needs a permanent wedding diorama??) and I want to be able to use the crystals and flowers for other projects. 

DONE!

At least this was enough for today. I don't feel like I reinvented the wheel with this project, but I love how it turned out. More pictures in future posts.

ARTFIGHT 2025

I love participating in artfight. This year I was a fossil!

Random person: So you make hundreds of drawings in one month????

Nope! This year I made 4.

Random person: Then why are you participating?

Because sharing art with friends its fun! Artfight it's all about gifting art and having fun with strangers and strangers alike. It's cool if you can make hundreds of attacks, or animations, or other cool stuff, but you don't have too. Many people only see these kind of scenarios and are afraid to participate. If you participate and only make one drawing and you have fun that is amazing.

Another fear I see is the fear you won't be able to return all the attacks. 

It's not a requirement! 

While it's nice to do it, you don't have to return attacks. And you don't have to feel guilty about it either. This is not a one on one art exchange. Rather than stressing about this one should rather draw what they want. Draw a character that belongs to a friend. Draw a character of an artist you admire. Draw something at random! Use this opportunity to create connection and have fun. Drawing other people ocs is also a great way to exercise drawing stuff that you might not normally draw.

Random person: I don't want to participate because no one wants to draw my ocs! Why should I draw for someone else?

I was lucky enough to get a couple (BEAUTIFUL) attacks from friends or friends of friends. But I did not participate expecting to get art. I entered to have fun, practice art and give a gift to somebody else.

Bottomline:

-be polite

-draw for fun

-don't treat artfight like a place to get free art.

This year event is nearly over, but I had fun regardless. And I really hope people enjoyed the art they received as much as I loved the art I received.

So I like doing everything. What exactly am I doing right now?

Well, I am looking for a job, but that is honestly an activity everyone at my age is doing and it's less than fun. ASIDE from that, I currently do other more exciting projects. 

1. Transformers Animated studies. 

Nostalgia hit me. I loved Transformers Animated as a kid, but after growing up I found the animation to be weird. This year my love for Transformers was brought back to life by Blokees (who, honestly, should sponsor me from the sheer amount of free advertising I am giving them). And after I had a bit of an art block, I am finally out of it. And I am drawing Transformers animated characters. I will do a separata post talking about it. 

2. A wedding diorama. 

I am a big shipper. I have plenty of ships I love. Its just all in the name of good fun. And I decided "Since I have a lot of different figures, why not take wedding themed pictures of them????". Why be a casual shipper. Wed them! More about the process of the diorama and pics coming up. 

3. Collecting Blokees Transformers

Blokees appeared oh my TikTok feed last year and I was instantly sold. They are affordable, beautiful, SUPER articulated and super fun to use for pictures and stopmotion. And now I am collecting them. I am not into collecting any other series, just Transformers. And just the Galaxy and Defenders scale. They are just adorable. I should do a collection post too I think. 

4. Making some dummy 13 figures into ocs.

I LOVE good articulation. This is why I love Blokees Transformers. And I saw dummy 13( lucky 13???). I bought one. INSTANTLY fell in love. I have some robots ocs that I want to try and make as figures. More on that in a future post, once I get my Aliexpress order. 

5. Drawing in general

I just draw and vibe. 

So, these are things that I am doing right now. My next post should be about my wedding diorama. 

If you read this, let me know in a comment. I would love to know I reached someone in the great void if the internet. 

See you next time!

Artist Journal #1

It's been increasingly obvious!

I can't deny it no longer

I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING!

Let's face it: How many of us want to try EVERYTHING?

Many.

I spent my entire life trying to find my one passion, my niche, the one thing that will call to me STRONGER than anything else. I reached adulthood and I finally have the answer: everything.

*record scratch*

Random person: But...that makes no sense.

Now, let me explain it in more details.

I like to do everything. I like to draw. I like to craft. I like to sew, to make miniatures, to collect Transformers figures, to make doll clothes, to try new art materials, to do stopmotion, to take figure photos, EVERYTHING. And that is fine. 

Random person: Oke, but, how are you ever going to make any money? Like, how can you monetize making and trying everything?

I don't know? I spent my entire life thinking I must make money to make my art, without realizing that I made some amazing projects that nobody ever saw because I was too afraid to share. Or worse, I deleted social media pages because they did not look professional enough or because I lost motivation. 

I regret it. You know why? Cause no one ever starts professional! No one is born and makes everything perfect from the start. And I wish I had those bad things to look back upon, but they are gone, forever lost in the void of the internet. 

Looking back at all my "unprofessional" attempts at making something that sells I took some time to meditate. No, I made no views or money. But those things brought me joy. Those things made my happy. Making stuff and collecting stuff makes me happy. And they made me meet people. And I made friends. As a no one in the void of the internet I made friends. That is enough. I feel victim to what I had been thought for years: that you need to make money out of something in order to be successful. Now, after I reached adulthood I realized how wrong I was. Of course I would love to make money out of my hobbies, but, first of all, I want to life and feel joy. I want the projects, I want the connections. I want to try trends even if they are old. 

Maybe I will never be able to monetize what I make and I will have a very normal and boring job. But I want to create because when I create I feel joy. I will create because it makes me happy first. If money will appear, I will gladly accept them. But if all I manage to do is have fun and make friends, I will already have become rich.

I don't know if this post will ever reach anyone in the great void of the internet. I mean, who even reads blogs anymore. I don't think I read any blogs. Maybe I write here thinking that I am safe from anyone reading, haha. But I wrote it. And I will continue to write. And I will write about all my projects. I won't try to niche down or limit myself anymore. And I won't delete anymore. If it's going to be ugly or pretty, if it's going to be a story about success or failure, I want to be able to look back. I wish I would have start it sooner, don't we all? But as they say, today is a great day to start too. 

Idk how often I will write. I will try to write at least once a week. But if anyone reads this, write down in a comment. It would be cool. 

Oke, see you next time!

Bye!
