kickstarter campaign: open! shrimp bags are live

YES I had to yell that. Let me say it again for those in the back: MY SHRIMP TEMPURA & RAW SHRIMP BAG KICKSTARTER IS LIVE!

Click here to back the project!

All the deets are within the Kickstarter, but I just want to say I’m extremely extremely proud of these bags! They’re very roomy inside (enough for my wallet, keys, phone, and some extra essentials!) Each bag comes with a soy sauce keychain, and there’s plenty of cute lil add-ons as well, like keychains, stickers, and notebooks + prints!

I’ve wanted to make silly bags for a while now, and I hope this is the beginning of a bunch of new and exciting projects.

If you’re able to please please pledge, it would really mean a lot to me!! Also share the campaign with your fellow shrimp-enjoying homies :)

SHRIMP TEMPURA PLUSH, june patreon goodies, & new prints!

WHEW another month goes by! Happy Pride, ya’ll!

I’m here with some FANTASTIC news. If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with Tempura shrimp. Idk why. Maybe it’s the shape, or the taste, but I LOVE tempura shrimp and I love making merch of the concept. So, without further ado, please introduce my newest shop plush: Large and Smol Tempura Shimps

Shrimp Tempura: Handdyed sherpa fabric, large size

Shrimp tempura: smol size

I.Love. Them.

Moving on - The newest Patreon theme + goodie mock-ups have been finalized and ordered! The theme is Holographic Sakura, and below are the rewards - 1 holographic high quality print and a matching holographic sticker!

Sign up for my Patreon Merch Club Tier any time this June to receive these treats at the end of the month - NO shipping attached, and you support a gay (as HECK) artist during pride. Win-win-win!

And last but not least, I may have fudged up big time.

I ordered a lot of new prints!

A… LOT… of new prints. Check out my print section to see them all, but here’s a taste!

That’s all I have for now, Monsters! Stay tuned for much more coming this month, including OH YEAH - I’m vending at JAFAX June 21st-23rd!! YIPPEE

(Psst, you can sign up for these blogs to be sent to your email, if you want important info without having to check the site! Just scroll down on the homepage!)

New stuff +patreon!

Hiya everyone! I hope you had a great weekend - if we don’t look the work week in the eye, it won’t sense our fear. Hang in there.

I have some exciting news about new products, conventions, and my patreon! YIPPEE!

First, if you want to see where I’m going to be selling my wares, head on over to the Convention Schedule page. If you don’t wanna (rude, i think the page looks cute :< ) My next convention is Jafax next month! ( OH GOD THATS VERY CLOSE HELP) followed by Anime Iowa, and Anime Magic INK’D. There may be more in between, but for now that’s what I’ve got confirmed! yay! I hope to see some of you soon.

New products on their way are as follows - BIG BIG BIG 11x17 prints, including holographic designs! These are a mix of fanart and original art (mostly original art). I miiiight have slid a dungeon meshi poster in there of BEST GIRL. Who is best girl? I guess you’ll just have to sign up for email notifications (scroll down a bit) to see when she’s listed in the store :3

Along with large prints, I’m making a few large print styles available in cheaper, 5x7 sizes. This includes all my previous 11x17 styles, which are currently in my shop right now hehe. These new 5x7’s also include some holographic designs as well!

Speaking of merch (worst segway ever???), my Patreon is POPPING OFF right now. Long story short, my printer broke and has pushed me into trying new things, so Stationary Club members are getting KEYCHAINS and HOLOGRAPHIC STICKERS this month.

Sign up any time in May to receive these goodies! Stationary Club slots are limited, so if you want them make sure to upgrade soon :> Patreon is a lovely way to support me every month, and perks such as seeing stuff early + discounts on comms start at $2 a month. Thank you for considering supporting me~!

Last and kind of least, here are my rough plans for the future:

Next keychains will be Houseki no Kuni + Vampire Hunter D themed
MORE DUNGEON MESHI PRINTS WOO
HOPEFULLY an update on the shrimp bags soon too!

That’s all I have for ya’ll right now! I will post more pics of the new prints when they come in - thanks for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Hi! welcome to my blog :>

Hi there! Welcome to my website, and also my blog. We’re going to do a quick introduction that’s a little more broad than my About section (which you can go to and read, bc like, this is a website and there are multiple pages and lbnkdjbakjd)

My name is Candlehearts, you can call me Candle. I’m very normal about getting a website of my own, which I have never had. I’ve always been living on various social medias and thriving on those premade things, but today I have a space to myself. HELL yeah. HELL YEA!!!!!

Anyway, hi! This will be short because I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’m not a very wordy person.

This website will be a great resource for keeping up with new products in my store, including preorders!!!, view my portfolio including new and older works in a convenient location, and sign up for a newsletter! Oh, and reading whatever dumb stuff I want to post here.

For reference, if you’re new to me and my content - I create creepy and cute accessories in various styles, and I’m a digital artist that creates similar illustrations. I specialize in character design and static illustration and eyestrain-y colors.

I’m also a streamer and general content creator, but that’s more of a side thingy. I just like sharing video games with the world, especially indie games. If you’re ever curious, catch me streaming on twitch! I have a small and welcoming, LGBTQIA+ community.

As for my tastes in general - I prefer any kind of horror media, horror games, movies, art, etc!! I also play some cute/ cozy video games or sims and dabble in cozy content in general.

I think that’s enough for now. I just wanted to say, YAY! I have a website! I hope you find your time enjoyable here!
