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):

I'm Missy (online) or Julia (offline) and I have finally decided to give the site a try. Hope we'll cozy up to each other with time!

What to expect:

• Traditional and digital fanarts. Both newer and older ones (that I used to post on deviantART and elsewhere) in no particular order. *Sometimes, signed with my previous web handle (FluffyZeliboba; switched it since the titular fluffy Zeliboba moved in to my place - so as no one mistakes me for him - but still, the current username bears a close connection to his own name).
• Art posting beling sllllllooooowwwwww once I finish uploading earlier works. If you know me, you probably know how many details I tend to put into each of them - ESPECIALLY if they're traditional.
• Pairings - sometimes, and het only.
• Tasteful belly-related tropes, pretty often. That's a small quirk I've been having for... as long as I can remember. A (male) character's belly in my works is chiefly treated as a seat of his soul, a softer side he reveals to his wife or girlfriend, or just a sign of his presence in the setting and him being happy with it.

* I post with Postybirb that doesn't yet support submitting multi-image works. So if the description mentions other versions / close-ups and it isn't there yet, have patience - I may exactly be loading it into place! :)

Check out also my fanfics (profile's half WIP) and photos! Chances are, a character you also happen to know and like lives at my place and is being loved and cared for.
