Best accident ever.  True story.  I got a commission for Princess Mononoke wineglasses of the tree spirits and I had them painted on the glasses themselves… then they got broken (the box fell, something, I don’t even remember).  The only thing that survived was the base of the glass.  At the time, these were much rounder wineglasses and the store I got them from didn’t have them anymore.

They had this style instead.

I immediately fell in love with this style and thought, “What if I painted the tree at the bottom of the glass and made the stem brown?”  I sent the person who ordered them a picture and she loved them.  

So yeah, best accident ever.

As always, here’s a link to the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop check it out for all of your random dishware coaster clock geeky needs  :)

Two more Black Butler coasters, this time it’s the Undertaker’s turn.  I love him so much actually I pretty much love everyone in Black Butler o.k.?! and I wanted to do something with his normal form and then that, ahem, other form of his that’s really awesome with the kick ass scythe.  But then he had that whole thing with his face at the end of the record, and I just couldn’t help myself  ^^

So the first coaster is normal Undertaker, the second is… well, if you read the manga you know where it’s from  :)  As always, coasters are woodburned and safe to use.  You can always check out the site here for commissions and other items that are available now: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop

Get classy with Pokemon!  With Togepi, to be exact  :)  This glass is available for purchase right now and is both usable and dishwasher safe.

Hey, Persona 4 fans!  I write for a website called “The Fandom Post” for a segment called, “Is it Worth the Hype.”  It’s been a while since I’ve written for it, but as I jump back into it I decided to tackle Persona 4: the game, the anime, and everything  :)  

Spoiler alert:  I love Persona 4, but I hope this article is a coherent explanation as to why it gets so much love and why is should keep getting all the love in the world  ^^

Newly made Pikachu shotglass for sale made by me  :)  The glass is completely usable and dishwasher safe.  Pikachu’s face is painted on the outside bottom of the glass so when you look into it, you can see him smiling at you.  Pika pika ^^  The glass itself has his tail painted on it.  Chu!  ^^

As a friend of mine recently said to me and my partner, “I’ve seen some geeky rooms in my day, but never one like this from two girls.”  My partner and I bought a house last August and when we saw we have two extra bedrooms on the first floor we knew what to do.  One will be my office, for writing and art and things, and the second is… well, this  :)

Everything is hand drawn and painted by me and my partner.  She did the Sonic painting inside the closet and the Tetris on the side of it (which she decided to do a messed up game of Tetris instead of a perfect one since “this is what happens to me when I play).  She also painted Jack Frost on the side of the window, and we’re going to paint shadow Teddie above it since he looks so cool.  Meanwhile, I did the Konami code above the door, the Portal painting with Wheatley, the Starfox ship, and Katamari (she helped with the portal and Wheatley) in space, and the pac-man around the shelves.  The TMNT picture above the portal was also made by me.

Our ceiling is black, which we plan to paint a portal on the moon once we get the chance.  Portal 2 fans will know why  :)  We also are going to paint a MegaMan level above one of the windows because we got an awesome 2D MegaMan item from Anime Milwaukee.  Also thinking about getting the King of all Cosmos on the ceiling, too.

All of the figures, video games, manga, anime, blu rays, standees, and everything is a combination of all of our things.  Once we got out of the apartment we had much more room to spread things out.  There’s more figures in our living room, more of the "fancier” or high quality ones, like a lot of our comic book figures and such.  The living room is also where all of the game systems are (but we’re trying to figure out how to make room in the Geek Room – which this room is called – for the Magnovox Odyssey my dad just straight up GAVE me)

The Geek Room does NOT have all of our figures, there’s still some randomly in boxes that we need to get out  ^^;;;  Our next project is painting the bathroom next to the Geek Room in an underwater Mario theme.  We already have the walls painted blue and all of my little Mario figures are around the sink.  

So, in conclusion, my geekery spreads across everything, clearly.  I’m lucky to have a fantastic partner who’s just as geeky as me (she’s more anime while I’m more video games, but combined it makes wonderful things like this).

Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of my favorite anime series of all time.  I always try to make something when I’m at a convention.  I’m always trying to improve my Utena things, since I feel like they have to be ridiculously fancy  ^^

As always, everything is hand made by me and I take commissions on everything.  Be sure to check out my tumblr, which has links to my shop, or just ask on here  :)

The last item is a combination of scratch boards, painted, scratched, and hot glue  ^^  I would love to make something like this again, the shadow girls are awesome and it was fun to come up with it.

Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji coasters of twuuuuuu wuvvvvv!  The first is Sebastian x Grell, you know, in Grell’s POV  ^^  The second is Sebastian x kitten, you know, in Sebastian’s POV  ^^  Both are woodburned and painted by me  :)  

When I discovered heart shaped coasters I had to put amazing couples on them, and what’s more amazing than kittens?!  As always, I take commissions on everything, and <3 coasters are, well… full of <3

Two Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji mirrors.  The first one is Sebastian and Ciel from the opening of season two, because I really like the silhouette of them together.  I was going to put the logo on it somewhere, but I thought that would be a bit much so I left it as is.  Completely done in pencil, the ruler was my best friend/worst enemy >.<

The second is of Grell, but done in a strange style that I had an idea for.  Grell’s not colored in, not really, instead the colors are written out (red and black) to color in the picture.  The only thing colored is Grell’s eye  :)  

Both of these mirrors have sold, but you can always commission me for something. The shop page (etsy AND facebook) are on the side of my tumblr, or you can just ask me on here.  Enjoy!  

Manga style mirrors, Naruto edition.  I love the black and white of manga pages, so I decided to sketch out and paint mirrors in the same style.  So far I’ve only really done it with Naruto, and I haven’t made a mirror like this in a while, so I definitely need to make more. 

As always, feel free to ask questions or send me notes here or on my Etsy, I take commissions and would love to make more items  :)  

Some of the mirrors have other things painted, like Naruto’s eyes, or young Kakashi, small things like that.  The Naruto and Kyubi mirror was a complete accident, I was going to paint the whole thing but left it partway painted before I had to go to work.  My partner saw it when I came home and was like, “No, leave it!”  It’s not quite manga style, not really, just… well it sort of is, I guess?
