For an artist loving Sesame Street and its mascot for Russian version for almost three decades, there's surprisingly few arts of him here, you may think.
Reason 1: He moved in to me IRL, so there's more photos than arts as for lately. Photos aren't allowed here as art entries, so head on Flickr to see Zeli in his full shaggy beauty.
* He's currently undergoing a really huge upgrade. It's only by mid-July 2024 that he himself was fully made; now, the maker is to rewamp and redecorate his coat, and sew seven new neckties.
Reason 2: It turned out only in 2020 that all the years before it, I'd been drawing him wrong. Given that I had no one to consult back in the '90s-00s due to lack of the internet whatsoever, and lack of proper contacts in the '10s, it's not much of a problem and can be fixed. Fixing is going to take long. So bear with me. :-P
Artchives of Zeliboba, both fanarts and photos, are available as PDFs:
and a little teaser the maker shared with me, of how Zeli looks like by now (the coat will be started on the end of August):
