Hi! I am KeyFeathers, a fantasy creature illustrator and sculptor from Australia! I create OOAK pose-able art dolls and sculpts, along with digital & traditional artworks.

It just so happens that my 2 favourite birds since as long as I can recall is the Macaw (Green wing specifically), and the Barn owl...so how could I not sketch these 2 <3 #HelluvaBoss #vassago #Stolas #Fanart

Man I WISH I HAD TIME FOR PERSONAL ART UHGHHHH. I finally caught up with Helluva boss. And this is just fishing for fan art from me at this point. My 2 fave birds ever (barn owl, and Macaw?) Shiiiit. I love these 2. Ill have to wait till next year I guess ;o;

Dracula's bride will be available to view, or adopt at the upcoming Oddities and Curiosities Expo Australia! She is a massive Porcelain doll/art doll standing at over 93cm tall!

My Moss Grats have accessorised recently! They are all looking very fancy in their new clothing of choice. They will available at Oddities and Curiosities at all Australian shows soon! These are posable art doll/sculpture hybrids. Meaning body is solid, and the neck, arms and tail articulate!

Counting down the days till Oddities and curiosities expo ! These Skeksis will be on the lookout for the finest essence at my table at all 4 events. Hopefully you can help them out, I am feeling a tad drained!

Psssst. Did you hear? Oddities and Curiosities will soon be back in Australia! My pet Emporium will be on the road and at all 4!

A new clutch of one of my old favourites are fledged and ready for adoption again! Vulture goblins, while very cheeky in appearance. Are extremely calm and loving creatures. OOAK art doll :)

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 :) )

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 <_>

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!

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!

Phew! Ive been working on this one for AGES. Almost done. Just finishing up sculpting the legs. This will be part of my "goblin" sized range. With a normal rabbit and jackalope varient

FB reminded me I drew this cool lizard dragon with the intent of a realistic painting and promptly forgot about it! Perhaps next year I will revisit :)

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

I feel aweful pushing this, but I will keep doing so for the sake of Kira! I have updated the GoFundMe with all the new information, and if anyone could share. I would be forever grateful (and I am insanely appreciative to everyone who has so far, THANK YOU!!!) gofund.me/cac499761

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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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 <_>

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.

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!

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!

Spoke with my reg vet again. The current plan is to see if we can get her eating and drinking for another day. Picked up some new medication to trial. If she can't keep water down or eat by tomorrow she will be admitted back in for IV treatment in hospital for a few days.

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.

Kira has just been back to vomiting all night. I feel a bit at a loss. Reg vet sent me to specialist cause they thought she needed endoscopy. New one charged me almost 4k for overnight stay on drip & a ultrasound (my reg vet had already done). Told me nothing in there, meds and home. They said she-

would need to return if vomiting continued & would finally get endoscopy (quoted 6k JUST for the procedure.) I am already 6k in the red & have borrowed money. I am scared what I can do from here if she keeps going, they have just drained all money out of me with no solution. I may need to make her-

wait a whole day and night till reg vet is open again so she can at least get back on IV...the rest, I am getting so sacred about. She also hasn't pooped for a week, which has me SUPER concerned. I raised these concerns 3 times at specialist, and my fears were waved aside by nurses on discharge.

Just got Kira back home, after a full week of hospital stays (how did this week vanish so fast!) She started being ill and stopped eating on Monday, and has finally eaten some small meals today/sat. She is looking much brighter, so they wanted to see how she goes at home!

Still kind of unsure what is going on with her, but the vague consensus for now is some form of Gastritis. Hopefully that just means continued medication and rest for recovery.

Haven't had time to work on anything this week with everything going on. So have a old dragon sketch that I made while testing out the Paint Storm program 4 years ago. (I need to test it again sometime.)
