FigmentForms: art and other nonsense

Part 255 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (May 3, 2026)

I live! I'm so sorry for being away for so long. It's been one family emergency after another (and some overlapping) for months and months. random life lessons that i've learned through this i wish to pass forward: Please please please get power of attorney over your old people so when they go nuts you can help them. Also if your dog starts to try to barf but nothing comes up and he won't eat even his favorite things and he has a bloated belly, for the love of God, take them strait to the emergency vet because they may be dead by morning if nothing is done. It's called GDV and it's a nightmare. Also please get pet insurance if you can. Luckily my dog survived!

In other good news, baby is healthy and is now FAST

annnd Vaati just keep digging.

Had my baby a few weeks ago! I have a “no post kid on social media policy” so here’s a sloppy sleep deprived doodle of his newborn goodness 🩷

On hiatus for a while because I’m new at keeping a baby alive and trying to figure it out and help him be safe and healthy and happy.

It’s been a long road. From infertility, two surgeries, IVF, and a c-section, i still can’t believe how lucky I was to get to bring this kid into the world. Thank you all for all your support and patience as I learn how to balance getting back to work while also helping Ken grow.

Part 251 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (Oct 23, 2024)

Thank you for your patience!

I'll be giving birth next week, so I'm not sure how long the next update will take me , but I'm going to try my best to get the next one out in about two months. At times i honestly thought i would never get the opportunity to be a parent and this feels so unreal and joyful! Thank you all so much for your support and kindness as i start this new chapter in my life. I'm very grateful <3

Part 248 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (May 1, 2024)

A month late, but done! Thank you all so much for your patience. ^_^'

I got unexpectedly delayed by a wonderful surprise! After all the surgeries and ivf, my husband and i got extremely lucky. Our embryo lived and will be born around late fall/early winter! I'm just as surprised as I am thrilled!

 i'm also apparently one of those pregnant people who gets very, very, VERY sick in the first trimester. This was the hardest update i've done in ages just because it's very hard to think clearly and move one's hands precisely when you're constantly fighting off vomiting and unexpectedly falling asleep all the time. I was nervous to say anything at first because i wasn't sure if the baby would live, but it's been several weeks and so far he seems very strong so I think it's ok to give word of his existence (I'm so proud of my lil' one! Fight! Fight! Fight, Lil' Dude! <3).

It's been a while since i posted anything and I just wanted to mention a few things that are in the works for the next several months.

1- ATOTR Updates!:

I plan to get back to updating A Tale of Two Rulers monthly again starting at the beginning of April! ^_^ Thank you all so much for your patience and support! I also have some comic copies and art books still available in my Etsy shop if anyone is interested! > https://www.etsy.com/shop/FigmentForms

2-Mothman Ita Bag Kickstarter:

I worked on a Kickstarter project to design a Mothman Ita bag with Adulting Axolotyl! Please check it out if you're into such things! I'm really happy with how the bag turned out and the stretch goals include a luna moth version and more!

3- Convention Schedule:

For health reasons I can't sell at conventions for a few more months BUT I still plan to have a booth at:

- Origins ( Columbus, OH, June 19th-23rd)

- GenCon ( Indianapolis, IN, August 1st-4th)

4- Charity Paintings Auction:

The world news lately had had me excessively angry so I made some paintings for auction that I will be starting in just a bit. Charity auction will be for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. <3

Part 247 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (Jan 24, 2024)

I managed to finish something!!! ᕙ(⊙ᴗ⊙')ᕗ

Thank yo all so much for your usual patience and kindness! Next update will be in about two months. Hopefully sooner.

I won't be able to go do conventions for a while since getting sick right now would be very very very bad timing with my medical situation, so I took on a big commission and a kickstarter to supplement my income a bit, so that will slow me down. If you happen to like Mothman or/or ita bags, you may like the upcoming KS. I will make a post when it's ready, but I promise I won't spam about it.

(Also, comic will be looking a little different like this from now on because my old set up broke and i had to switch to another one. ^_^')
