Maybe the real treasure was the boops we made along the way
To celebrate the one year boop-iversary I'm having a flash sale on mystery bundles for one day only with 25% OFF - and every mystery bag is guaranteed to have a glittery boop button badge inside! 🐾

Some of you who have been following me for longer might have noticed, but this is actually a redraw of one of my favourite artworks that I made back in 2017!
I initially started doing a redraw of it sometime around 2021, then my tablet broke and the file got lost, so it took until now for me to be able to face drawing alllll of those details again for a third time - I'm glad I did, I think this is going to make a very nice print! ✨
I did in-person custom cat commissions at my latest convention this past weekend, but since a lot of people couldn't get one before the end of the weekend, and a lot of my followers are international - I thought I'd extend the offer to my online followers for a limited time!
If you're interested in getting a custom drawing of your cat sent in the post, check out this page on my website ✨

Thank you for answering about the gouache, I really appreciate it! Would you be ok answering a question about the "You’re on your ninth life" piece? Did you individually paint each star or are some of them glitter? It looks like an irl photograph of space it's so good!
You're very welcome! For a piece like that with a lot of stars I usually do the paint flicking method, with slightly diluted paint to reduce the opacity for the smaller, further away stars
Basically you want to get a very bristly paintbrush loaded with paint, and gently run the bristles backwards then let go so that they flick back towards the page and launch the paint outwards, at as close to a 90 degree angle as you can manage - some people use a toothbrush, but I have a paintbrush that's purposefully roughed up to make it more suitable for flicking on stars!
(I have used fine glitter on traditional pieces to make a nice shimmery effect in-person before, but it usually turns up badly in photos/scans, so not as a replacement for physically drawing on the stars)
