Today is really nice, just enjoying myself watching Heidi and working on commercial art. I wish I had more Japanese snacks left though!

Drop everything because these are THE most important news of today!! ๐๐
Baby snells are officially born! They are so unbelievably small. Three of them could sit comfortably on the nail of my pinky finger! Anyway I am very happy and now letโs watch them grow!
Hey guys! I just realized I didn’t talk about this here. So you’ve all seen me go “DISCORD SERVER DISCORD SERVER JOIN IT PLEASE /GROSS SOBBING” all over the place. And yes. Please join my Discord server because I do NOT have an Instagram or Twitter or deviantART or Patreon anymore:ย https://discord.gg/xtaYuVH
My server is the primary place to find out about commission openings, the first place I share my art to, and the place where I’ll first share the nonsense that used to go on my Instagram. Streams will be announced there as well.
If the above makes zero difference to you, you should also join! Why? How about a โจโจโจMonthly Giveawayโจโจโจ?
๐ Here’s how it works! At the start of the EVERY month, the participating member with the most stickers (you can check this by typing !rank in any chat that allows participation) will get a FANTASTIC UNBELIEVABLY PRIZE OF…….
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
One line art! Character of your choice (but no mainstream copyrighted characters) and pose up to me. You can color this line art if you wish. All of my usual Terms of Sale apply to giveaways: https://www.marinaneira.com/commissionterms
๐ How to earn stickers you might ask? By participating in the chats! The more you participate the more stickers you’ll earn. When you earn a new sticker, you’ll get a message from the sticker bot within the current chat, telling everyone how many stickers you’ve earned so far! However, being purposely spammy for the purpose of earning stickers will not be tolerated! ๐ค
๐ What is spammy? Lots of sticker spam nonstop where the point isn’t really to express yourself. Don’t send more than 2-3 stickers or memes/gifs in a row. Photos that add to the conversation don’t break this rule. Try to add to the conversations in a meaningful way.
๐ You CAN win multiple times! But you can’t win twice in a row. If you win twice in a row the prize goes to the next person with the most stickers that month.
๐ The number of stickers resets on the 1st of every month.
๐ There are members in our group who may not be interested in such a prize. In this case you are welcome to allow the next person with the most stickers to be picked.
๐ Questions? Ask me here, or @/MarinaNeira#1431 on Discord!
LET THE STICKER COLLECTING… BEGIN! โจ๐๐ฅณ๐
๐ NOTE: You MUST be over 18 years old to join my server!
A wonderful surprise from a new friend, Bearhardt on FurAffinity!
A Patreon reward from NazzNikoNanuke on FA! Featuring me and my sworn enemy and good friend, Mikey.
(Kudos to anyone who gets these references!) ๐
A package from The Toy Shoppe came yesterday with a lovely new member for my hug! He was an early birthday gift from my friend Nero. Hardy, a new friend, also very kindly helped me to get him. His Charlie Bear name is Waffle, I always rename my bears though, and I donโt have a name for him just yet. But he IS lovely! And has a hint of an adorable smile, along with a very unique fur pattern.
What he reminds me most of is banana nut bread, which I suppose is not the strangest name when I have a Charlie Bear cat named Fish โn Chips, but somehow itโs not convincing me.
I have him wearing this as a temporary outfit:
He can wear Build-a-Bear tops quite well, but heโs kinda bulky bottom-wise so heโs wearing newborn size shorts. I did get him a pair of overalls with a rewards card I had for BAB, because nothing looks as good on bears as overalls/dungarees. And I got him a little hat and bandana on AliExpress, as well as a pacifier Iโll customize with a brooch pin so he can wear it. Once I decide on a name Iโll decorate the pacifier to match. Canโt resist teddies with pacis.
He got to sleep with me last night, which I NEVER do for these expensive bears, but I needed the comfort.
So anyway the last few days have been work work work, nonstop, so Iโm busy and tired and my arm/wrist are killing me. So Iโll end this post here. I hope everyone is having a lovely week!
Oh and please guys. Even if the economy is reopening please keep in mind COVID-19 CASES ARE UP. THEY ARE WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE. You are in danger still, donโt go out unnecessarily, wear your masks, if you must go out for work or whatever protect yourselves, even if people laugh at you, please remember itโs actually worse now. I donโt want you all to get sick or die or sicken family members and feel that guilt. Please, be careful.
