iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I will be working full time on clearing my list once this convention run is done (also just a reminder I am taking NO commissions all through next year, so I clear all remaining, to have a rest...and so I don't get swamped like this again :) )

Yea my mechanic was very determined that I got one. So it was a bit of a struggle to find this particular one in my area haha. Glad I found it!

Cheers. Right of the back of Kira being so unwell definitely kicked me into a financial hole ive never experienced. But can only keep going!

Yea I have heard good things about them! This one is has 170,000 km. And I am really hoping it will last a good while yet. It needs to drive pretty far out of state monthly for a lot of the year XD I did this in the tiny Yaris somehow for years. But poor thing is finally done XD

New car is a Toyota Estima. Almost 20 years old, but way more modern in features than I am used to! (Push start, reverse camera, what is this black magic!) But the main draw. Is the back row of seats lay completely flat. & once middle ones are removed it effectively becomes a little van!

It's been a hellish few weeks! My little car was giving up the ghost. Spent every cent I had, got scammed buying a lemon van. Took out a loan I probably can't handle. Spent every waking moment looking for a secondhand car for my mechanic to approve...And finally got it! Kira approves at least <_>

This dude was notorious for pretending the art was his own/not AI. He's pretty unliked in the art circles. He had a video playing of a fake art process this time around. And people were clocking onto it from the get go (some of his dog charms have 5 paws, or the style jumps all over the place lol)

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yeaaaa that dudes always been a bit of a angry fellow. He's been selling Slop for a while at a lot of the events I go to. It's just crazy that he bit someone <_>

I like this photo that displays just a fraction of my misery for the next few weeks xD Currently sorting, cutting, sanding and priming roughly 500 art dolls for my big convention tour month in Nov!

Learning about Zbrush and digital sculpting in this format was formative for my art going forwards! Here is the first ever attempt I had at using it back in 2013! I have since lost the file for this fellow. But I kind of want to revisit/improve his design a little for my own fun eventually!

WIP of yet another art doll. I was really keen to make this one. As it's a nod back to one of my fave dolls I ever made (second pic from 10 years ago). This one will also be a Porcelain doll edit!

Owl goblins have been my motif/mascot for the time I have sold at conventions (Even Key is the logo!) 10 years ago I made the first goblin sized dolls to sell at Supanova. I think it is time for a V3!

That is amazing news! I am so so glad it was recovered!!

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I remember all the fun fanart you drew for this. I was definitely a person who looked up the scans I could find out of curiosity, and never got anywhere with it haha. But the art was always fun to see!

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

These are looking wonderful! While still a shocking situation you are in, I am glad you are able to gather some valuable recourses for yourself out of it. Ill be very interested in the pack once you can get it available :)

If this is how you guys have been treated, I don't bloody blame them :/

Dear god I just caught up on this...you are STILL without power?? I am so sorry, that sounds absolutely hellish! Have any of the other residents considered taking up complaint or taking it to the media yet? It sounds freaking deserving of a public stink kicking at this point :/

Oh yea for sure. For my drawn works I get "looks like (thing ive never heard of)" all the time too haha

Picking up Kira today! Fingers crossed she is able to stay this time!

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I still love this comic haha. I get the same all the time, but as I have gotten older it doesnt bother me as much. "Your work looks like the dark crystal". Thanks! It's one of my fave movies, lemme just....make a Skeksis and lean into that for you. Hahahha

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

It definitely used to get to me :) Now I kind of just see it as them saying my work is as good as the thing they think it looks like (and that's usually a huge compliment, as its usually Jim Henson work haha). It's tough cause I do feel it's just people trying to connect in a way they understand :)

Vet has been keeping me updated on Kira, and she has been doing well! She still isn't eating much (apart from treats apparently). But has been drinking and not vomiting which is fantastic! They are going to keep her a extra night just to be sure, but I should have her back home on the weekend <3

This is extreme and last resort. But it would mean I can get biopsies, a solution and the following care needed. Vs throwing money at the wall at the specialists in Sydney JUST for a endoscopy. So I have had to chose the plan that goes further.

270

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Kira is back in hospital. My vets are super caring and are going to help me out by charging at only only cost for some things. They are going to try different treatments for various things to seebif something sticks. If not she will have to undergo surgery to open stomach to get biopisies done.

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Kira hasn't eaten in 2 days again, in pain & doing this constantly. Called the vet & just broke down crying. The main vet isnt in yet so they are going to call back, & im going to ask them to keep her a few days. Cause this isnt working. Will cost me thousands, im just going to beg for payment plan.

Still trying desperately to get work done between everything else, as oddities is looming. Have a early WIP of the bunny base I am working on. This will be a sitting doll in my "Goblin" range. And will have Jackalope, and Wolpertinger variations!

070

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

got it done. If the tests came back with something she needed surgery for....I couldn't treat her anyway. I was looking at their costs and it goes into the tens of thousands for procedures like that. I really am just stuck watching her & praying she gets better at this point.

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

The best idea they have is sever gastritis. But she just isnt getting better. She keeps almost seeming well and eating, then she just dives again like this and refuses to eat and vomits for days straight. At this point with how much it's all cost, the endoscopy is out of my reach. And even if she

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Im just a fucking loss what to do. Kira is just back to vomiting constantly, not eating, lethargic and now drooling. She's on carafate and anti nausea. But nothing seems to be fucking working. Im afraid I may actually lose her, there's nothing else I can do within my means anymore.

Really good conversation about AI's hype, economic harms, and scammy nature in general. It covers a lot of stuff here, including it's weird cultivation of a class of entitlement. youtu.be/kmcnO8s68ec?...

Thankfully she was good to come home again, so I am waiting to see if these new meds and food do the trick! It's been an hour since she had a little food, and she's still showing appetite and kept it down so far. Thankfully this visit was only $300 vs the thousands her night stays have been <_>

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Visited the vet with Kira again today. She's lost half a kilo and is still vomiting w/a bit of a temp/sore stomach. He has placed her on some new anti nausea meds, and carafate to see if this helps. He also supplied me with Crocodile loaf which is supposed to be easy on the gut (she loves it).

Hi all! Kira has been progressively getting worse since discharge, and as I am out of all options financially I have opened a Gofundme as a few have suggested to do. Please share if you can, and thank you so much if you are able to help! (All info on the fundme page) gofund.me/cba3a7bb1

Annnd kira is vomiting again X_c I am going to have to call the vet in the morning, this is 11 days now of barely eating and if this starts up again I don't know if she can handle it much longer.

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Kira woke up feeling much better today. Enough to roll outside in the sun! (She looks so strange with the shaved belly lol). She ate a tiny bit of chicken again and some water. So I think the newmeds are finally doing the job!

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

So far, they are not entirely sure. But extreme Gastritis seems to be the common consensus from the various specialists she has seen. Hopefully she will even out. Then later when I can save we can look further into why her stomach walls are so thickened on the ultrasounds

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Kira was able to stay home today :D She ate a tiny bit of food and water, and has only vomited twice. Fingers crossed this means she is stabilising!

Key @keyfeathers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

So far so good! Woke up to no vomit for the first time in 9 days! Kira is still refusing food and water and is sleeping a lot. But this is a huge improvement already. Waiting to see if she will eat or drink, then will call vet to see if she needs to go back this afternoon.
