Guess who just got his first ever hundred five-star reviews on a book? @utunu.bsky.social DID!

An anthropomorphic hyena, or gnoll, sitting on a loose raft of wood planks on a greenish blue ocean. Above him in white, wood textured font, is the text "RAFTS"

These are my two favourite Etsy receipt doodles. You guys have no idea how much I love drawing Protoss. They're like my comfort food of subjects. (And dragons of course. But that's a given, you know?)

Protoss zealot (a bipedal alien warrior with no mouth and a cranial crest) ready to strike! It's a drawing of the warrior in black and white and it's charging its psi blade while its nerve cords swing behind it. The text adjacent reads "En Taro Adun, Executor! May this pin serve you well!"

Protoss dark templar (a bipedal alien warrior with no mouth and a cranial crest) swinging a dual bladed psi scythe, a psythe if you will! It's a drawing of the warrior in black and white striding forward, wrapped in dark cloth with two prominent braids along its chest. The text adjacent reads "Adun Toridas, Prelate! Walk in the shadows with courage" and below "and build more pylons"

Hey Hey Hey You dead Hey

Yoshi the Boston Terrier, snoozing on a bed. Bedsheets, baby blue with a stitched pattern and white flowers woven in, are piled up around him. Chima the Bengal cat paws him while sitting a short distance away, looking focused.

BREAKING NEWS: Yoshi intercepted the brain ce- oh no, it's gone. Anyway.

Yoshi the Boston Terrier on a beige woven couch with dark and light patterns on it. He's lying down, toys behind him, staring at the camera. In his mouth is a daisy toy. He looks a bit bewildered.

Freehand your straight lines to make an architecture professor cry

A warrior mouse in ink, as if on a tapestry, stands on a hill. Surrounded by floral borders on all sides. A pen is placed on a diagonal bias above him

Whether you want to or not ;D

yoshi the boston terrier crawling over me to try and groom my face

Goob

Yoshi the boston terrier, his face held in a pair of hands. He's squinting and his snout is pulled back slightly to reveal uneven teeth and tusks in his underbite. He is such a goob.

Behold: A leaf

A green, fan shaped ginko leaf on the concrete sidewalk. It is peppered with big watery raindrops. Land Before Time music is playing for some reason.

Slowly shrivelling into a corn cob

Three people talking on Reddit: red, blue, and green. Red has a USA tag, the other colours have no tags, this is in reference to soccer and the FIFA tournament. Red, in summary, says [the Belgians] would all be speaking German if it wasn't for [the US] lmao. The responder in blue says Belgians speak German, it's one of their official languages, and that the poster cannot be serious. It continues with green and red mocking blue for witty grammatical bullshit regarding a bunch of ellipses.

Quote with your fanart!

A warrior mouse in a monk's habit stands before a huge brown adder. In the mouse's left hand is a sword, shining. The adder coils and curls before the mouse, backlit by warm yellow light, and its eyes are a molten gold colour.

Acrylic on board.

🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️

Chima the Bengal cat yawning while lying flat across a dark purple embroidered chair. The chair has a dark brown wood back that is a bit clawed up by You Know Who. The floor below is a wood panelling with a little ebi nigiri toy lying diagonally from Chima's face. He's yawning sure but he also looks like he's screaming like a lunatic, bless him

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· Jun 29

Chima is not a super affectionate boy. But when my mom isn't feeling well he takes charge of being her nurse with soft, inaudible purrs. If that's not love I don't know what is. (Or maybe he's hypnotizing her to feed him snackus, this is entirely possible.)

Chima the Bengal cat crouched on a blue-white paisley bedsheet. His face is up against the camera, staring with big, sage green eyes. Oh man is he staring. STARING.

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· Jun 28

@utunu.bsky.social: "holy shit I need to order my book from you ;)" (Also I found out the other day that people cut out my receipt doodles and display them lol)

Receipt doodle from a website order. It's a sketch of two fennec foxes, anthropomorphized, sitting together and eating curry! Ink on white paper. They have the words <mindhug> beside each with their names, Bori and Tuther. There's a text block beside the sketch that says "From both Utunu and I, we hope you like your book, (CROSSED OUT IN RED, the person's name), with a smiley face, - Valerie

He lounges like he pays rent

Yoshi the Boston terrier lounging against a beige couch with dark and light patterns on it. Scattered around him are various colourful dog toys. Also at his paw is a black handheld home phone. Behind him is a pillow with embroidered hummingbirds. He's staring ahead slightly walleyed because Bostons do be like that lol

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· Jun 17

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet:

Bengal cat sitting on the arm of a beige patterned couch, backed with a pillow with flowers and hummingbirds. He's looking at the camera mid-snarl with a closed eye, the other just open a slit to show a green iris. He was yawning lol

oy shit

A black and white inked illustration on four human fingers (holding it upright). It features a gryphon rearing back with a face of utter, unadulterated disgust. On an angle, in a black ribbon above the gryphon's head is bold font that says "OY SHIT!" with the exclamation mark on a bias. The text is golden yellow and the griff is traced in gold too.

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· Jun 8

Sussy

Yoshi the Boston Terrier sitting on a beige patterned fabric couch. He's looking right at the camera from a high angle. A grey furred toy lies in front of him and a person (hi ma!) sits behind him with legs crossed

Yoshi the Boston Terrier sitting on a beige patterned fabric couch. He's looking right at the camera from a high angle, but his eyes are squinted and he looks very sussy. A grey furred toy lies in front of him and a person (hi ma!) sits behind him with legs crossed

Behold, a man

Yoshi the Boston Terrier lying down rather majestically in a green field with a treeline behind him. He's looking forward but just past the camera, squinting against the sunlight.

How @utunu.bsky.social announces to me that he won an award

Telegram screenshot from May 24th on a dark slate grey background.

In the dark bubble: "may have to make a slight edit to your website"
In the lighter cerulean bubble: "LOL DID YOU WIN AGAIN"

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· May 25

While lying on the couch at my folks' place, Yoshi crawled up and fell asleep in the crook of my knee. He's such a baby, I love him.

A pair of legs, in jeans, lying on a beige leather couch. Yoshi the boston terrier, is sleeping with his head placed on the crook of the legs' knees. On the couch is a throw towel with palm tree designs in green and teal, and at the end of the couch is a throw pillow with a calico cat design on the front.

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· May 21

Yoshi has toy bags that he will bring into the kitchen for my mom to stuff with a treat. He'll then take the bag into the living room, and fishes out the treat before going back into the kitchen to beg for more. We call this "Shopping"

Yoshi the boston terrier dog, birds eye view on a white tile floor, holding a candy cane striped bag in his mouth. He's looking up with a look of abject misery. He knows how to manipulate you for treatsies.

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· May 21

If you listen closely, you can hear a ping pong ball bouncing inside that head.

Boston terrier (Yoshi, a two year old goob) staring up at the camera with a slight fisheye distortion. He's sitting on a beige fabric couch and a person wearing jeans is sitting just out of view. The focus is Yoshi's head. Full frame. Staring. Crickets.

But consider ✨bionicle receipt doodle✨

Ink sketch with rough, broad hatching on a piece of Etsy receipt paper. Featuring a black and white movie design rahkshi, a reptilian biomechanical creature from the Bionicle franchise, wielding a goo casting staff while lunging. The upper text reads "Their Unity...can be poisoned..." ~ The Makuta. On the bottom left is written "Enjoy your print with a smiley face, signed Valerie, and the name is scratched out with red marker.

This is the face of a man demanding more snacks THIS INSTANT

Chima the bengal cat (golden brown, spotted fur, almost like a golden leopard) and vivid sage coloured eyes, standing on a granite kitchen countertop. A bowl of fruit and a Magic Bullet are behind him, in front of a grey stone tile backsplash. He's standing up and is screaming, open mouthed, at the viewer.

✨ Valduin ✨@dragonstormstudios· Apr 27

Why is he like this

Yoshi the Boston Terrier lying on a wood tiled floor, in the centre of a panel of light surrounded by shadows. He's looking up at the camera (bird's eye view) and his legs are splooting!

Help me make space for upcoming pins! Reposts welcome <3 Liquidating these angry little guys for 4 USD each or 6 USD for two. Shipping from Canada. 🇨🇦 I can ship fairly cheap within Canada and to the UK, and shipping to the US is 8-9 USD with tariffs included, depending on where you are. :)

Four angry bullfinch griffins on a diagonal on grey smooth rock. A brown, black striped kestrel feather lies on an angle following their positioning. Top is red with gold metal and a big red belly, second is black with teal accents, copper metal and a white belly; third is black with yellow and red accents and silver metal; and the bottom is black with light blue/white accents and matte blue dyed metal. The bullfinches are flipping the bird at the viewer.
