Aware that I just quote-posted this the other day but IT GOT PICKED NO WAYY!!! It feels unreal and I’m super honored that it’s gonna be displayed on-site alongside a lot of cool art! Many thanks to the team at DE and congrats to all the other winners!!

A screenshot of Warframe’s livestream Primetime #489, where they announced the winners of the Tennocon community art showcase. There are rough doodles of my ocs surprised and pointing at it drawn over the screenshot.
Full context: the 60 winners of the “Tennocon community art showcase” contest will get their piece printed out, framed, and displayed at Warframe’s Tennocon event next week in Canada, as well as shown digitally during the livestream for it. Pretty exciting!

Don’t know the best way to go about adding more to the post itself but I made a long post over on Tumblr sharing some wip stuff so may as well parrot the more important things here. I’ll keep it short since word limit. Here’s the first sketches

Rough sketch of my idea, it was originally not made with chibi plushies but the actual characters in mind

The sketch redone with plushified characters

The Floof Refractory 🧸 My submission for the #TennoCon2026 community art showcase! #warframe #warframefanart

Characters from Warframe’s “old peace” update turned into plushies, specifically in the style of the in-game “floofs”.
They have fabric textures as well as a white paper-like outline for contrast.
The background is elaborate and chaotic, featuring game-related details and a rough gradient of blue to red with a purple center.

Colored sketch - Blue & company Commission for @sketchmatters.bsky.social of their vex character Blue! #destiny2

There are 7 cats of various colors hanging out on and near it. The background is a desaturated blue with a slight black texture gradient.
Stickers are mainly images from Bungie’s store, but there is a monster hunter sticker as well. The very small hobgoblin sticker on its chest is by the artist Monstyra.

Ghost Wolf I realized I don’t have any recent examples of colored sketches for Kofi, so I sat down and made a few over the past weeks.

Freestyle commission - Rompopo Birthday Party 🎂 Requested by Turbo Chicken: a Rompopolo celebrating his birthday with Nu Udra. This was a fun one and quite a challenge with all the colors they each have! #mhart

A Nu Udra (an octopus like creature) and rompopolo (a bird like creature) from monster hunter celebrating a birthday. Rompopolo is wearing a party hat and there is a cake between them with dark colors (such as in chocolate cake) on a display stand. Instead of birthday candles there is a pink landlight shrimp with a little hat.
The background is the Oilwell basin colored in a looser style in blue and orange. There is scattered endemic life hidden throughout the background, but most visible are the sparkler jellies.

This is the most recent; I picked up felting again for a second back in October to make a witch-behatted pigeon for friend @pigeonwitha.bsky.social in a gift exchange. I tried to carve a space in the bottom to make it a decorative pencil topper. #needlefelting #pigeon
