Purple Puppies

Purple Puppies are a unique kind of puppy characterized by purple fur, a white muzzle, short snout, large head, long ears, and short limbs and tail. Actually, they are roughly based on a pair of hand puppets given to my sister and a friend’s baby a year before I was born on a flight from the US to Singapore. These hand puppets became my favourite toy as a baby and then when I grew up I adopted them as my personal mascot and drew a bunch of original artwork.

8 Big stuffed animal

I commissioned a big stuffed animal from a website called Budsies. It cost a lot and the quality is meh (the tail fell off and the shape is generally way flatter/blobbier than I intended). But still pretty cute overall.
