Winner: ZeldaZach for $1,699.20
There's no need for formalities, or remembering all of the many names she's been given; call her Annie! She's so happy to meet new people! And try new food. Final Fantasy has chocobos and phoenix summons, so why not both? Annie is all of this and crochet! Made mostly of polyfil-stuffed recycled acrylic yarn, and a very intensely-colored soft and fuzzy acrylic yarn accent, Annie stands at 11 inches tall, with a fully open wingspan of 13 inches. Complimented with lucite, glass and crystal beads, her wing feathers open and close on a pivot joint, her beak is hinged, and her tail feathers, toes, legs, wings, neck and head are wired for poseability. Not intended for children, or to have any contact at all with actual real fire. A not-so-subtle reminder that hope cannot, will not, be extinguished.

Winner: chenhsi for $3,055.00
Dice tower with 6 leaf iris opening, and a pull out dice tray secured by a portcullis. 4.5x5x7.5 inch (115x127x190mm) The Alpha Knight and Night Witch with their shift logos worn proudly are guided by a compass rose. Across the tower, the road fades in from the west, the Desert Bus driving past. The Dawn Bard with sunrise strings gazes up at the Zeta Gundam above. Will Myst's starry expanse draw them all together, or will their worlds be Riven apart? Twist open the iris, lift the portcullis, and draw forth the rolling tray: this tower is about to see some adventure! Use and Care: The iris twists open counter-clockwise and closes clockwise. After shipping, the mechanism may stick in places. A little shake and jiggle will get it moving. With a little use it'll be smooth as silk. The portcullis can be held open by pulling it forward once it's all the way up. Push it in to let it drop. The dice tray can be pulled out when the portcullis is open, lift it out of the well and pull forward. The space inside the tray can be used for storage. A simple beeswax finish can be used to refresh the look after a year or two. Materials: Cherry with sapele inlay and tung oil finish

Winner: WampaX for $1,974.69
This set of needle-felted art dolls represents four Magic: The Gathering planeswalkers as they appear (or might appear) on the plane of Bloomburrow - cuter than ever! Ral (Crackling Wit) has become an otter, Jace (the Mind Sculptor) is a fox, Liliana (of the Dark Realms) is now a squirrel, and Tamiyo (Field Researcher) is a lop-eared rabbit. The construction of these dolls is mostly wool roving over a wire armature, but they are truly mixed media pieces--some air-dry polymer clay, some craft-store fabric and felt, some plastic eyes and noses, some computer-cut iron-on vinyl, and whatever else was needed to bring them to life. Tamiyo comes with a doll stand to keep her upright, while the rest are able to stand with the help of their tails. Ral and Liliana stand around 7 inches (18cm) tall, while Jace and Tamiyo are around 9.5 inches (24cm) tall. Care instructions: These are more soft sculptures than plush toys, and may fray from rough play or if snagged. Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary.

Straighten your paper mustache, pick out your favorite badges, and prepare to set off on your adventure with confidence using this handcrafted and beautifully illustrated map of the Mushroom Kingdom from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. This mystical map is crafted from a coffee-stained and torn-edged piece of fine vellum, using acrylic inks, Pigma Micron pens, and a few custom designed, 3D printed elements. Important city locations and points of interest from throughout Mario’s journey are illustrated on dimensional “pop-up” panels, and if a need ever arises to collect them again, the location of each Crystal Star has been helpfully denoted as well. Mario’s map may be creased and tattered, but this recreation has been carefully preserved within a wooden shadowbox, custom-built by the artist to protect the piece and display the dimensional elements. The framed piece measures at 18 inches square by 1.75 inches deep (46 cm square by 4.5 cm deep). It is just deep enough to stand on its own for shelf display, or it can be securely hung on the wall using the attached sturdy photo wire.

Winner: tessereth for $2,420.69
Invite the horrors of the deep everywhere you go, even the middle of the desert! This set of three watercolour paintings feature scenes from the games Dave the Diver, Dredge, and Subnautica. Each painting was carefully composed with a bold disregard for scale, geography, and biome-restricted spawns. The ink & wash paintings are rendered on 100% cotton rag watercolour paper using India ink and Daniel Smith paints in primary colours. Bioluminescent details use glow-in-the-dark acrylic to haunt your dreams. These are unique paintings: only a single set of canvas prints have been made to hang in the artist’s own home. Dave the Diver measures 28x43 cm (11x17 inches), while Dredge & Subnautica are 23x30 cm (9x12 inches) Perfectionist’s warning: thanks to a taping whoopsie-doodle, the painted surface area of Dredge & Subnautica are slightly different, even though they are on identically sized paper.

Winner: Mondo Titan for $3,000.00
Looking for a statement piece to wear for game night? Look no further! This subtly iridescent maille belt is woven in the Dragonscale weave (which consists of two interwoven layers of European 4-in-1, the weave seen in most non-japanese maille armour... but I digress), from titanium accented with anodized titanium and niobium in greens, blues and purples, in an attempt to capture the look of fish- (or perhaps dragon?) scales. The belt is 4 cm wide (~1 9/16 in) and fits most belt loops, and fits waists from 80-145 cm (~31 1/2 - 57 in). I recommend tying excess length in the style of a medieval ring belt, but should you choose to shorten it I will gladly help guide you through the process if you message me on Twitch. While I would tell you it was forged in the heart of a dark star, it is in fact rolled, drawn into wire, coiled, cut, and assembled using an assortment of pliers. But it is the thought that counts. Materials: Titanium (plain and anodized) and niobium rings, nickel buckle. The belt is corrosion resistant and doesn't mind getting wet; clean with soap and water. Not entirely comfortable worn directly against bare skin, and should be kept away from loose hair.
SOLD
Winner: BigMikeDog for $2,755.00
Protect them all! This Men's XL black denim jacket is hand painted with the four dragons found in Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The right sleeve is bleach painted to match the design found on Link's arm. Mixed media was used including acrylic paint, POSCA markers, and sharpie, while utilizing negative space to form some shapes. A limited palette and light crosshatch shading was used to give life to the dragons. This jacket can elevated any outfit into hero of time-chic and is a perfect top layer to any hoodie. Hyuuuah into Hyrule with this one of a kind piece! Care info: DO NOT WASH! The back panel is acrylic paint and therefore will come off in the wash. The jacket was prewashed before getting painted to get rid of any chemicals in the fabric. Spot cleaning is totally fine as long as the acrylic does go through the wash. Cracking will naturally happen as you wear it.

It is stitched on Aida cloth and stiffened felt before being backed onto a cotton canvas. It is 16 ½ inches tall and 8 ½ inches wide. It weighs 340 grams. For best care wipe gently with a damp cloth.

Winner: RockPusher for $1,805.69
This set of handmade watercolor paints was inspired by the shifts and shenanigans of Desert Bus for Hope. During the pandemic I fell down a paint making rabbit hole and dreamed of a desert bus inspired paint set, and now have the expertise to make that dream a reality! Included in this set are 12 half pans (with magnets) of handmade professional quality watercolor paints made using lightfast pigments, all nestled in a tin and protected by a rainbow Spoopifer. The Spoopifer sticker on the tin is based on a hand painted version of him with colors from this set.
The colors included are: Alpha flight (PV19), Tucson (PO71), Endless Desert (PO49), Dawn Guard (PY150), Night Watch (PB15:3), Belopa (PB60), Vengabus (PV55), Zeta (PV23), Vegas (PO71, PV42, blue/purple mica), Bug Splat (PY150, PG36, gold mica), Coffee Pong (PR101, blue/green mica), and Omega (PBK11, purple mica). The paints included in this set are versatile for color mixing and also include 4 special sparkly colors (Vegas, Bug Splat, Coffee Pong & Omega). The ingredients and pigments are mostly nontoxic (Dawn Guard and Bug Splat contain nickel), but nonetheless should not be consumed (especially by children).
Ingredients & care instruction: Gum arabic, pigment, corn syrup, glycerin, potassium sorbate & dextrin.
The pigment codes are listed after the color names and are useful for looking up lightfastness and other pigment properties. Let the paints dry before storing to prevent mold growth, especially in hot/humid environments.

Each has the card cost of each Scrybe's unique deck on both sides of their themed mug, along with their unique text box border along the top and bottom. The exception is Grimora's mug with headstones lining the bottom. My American Need for Big Drink TM means that these mugs are large enough to fully enable your caffeine addiction, comfortably fit large hands, and hold an ample helping of your preferred soup or stew. My tests with similar mugs found them to be dishwasher safe. However, my dishwasher sucks, so be careful. For those interested in the build, Leshy's was made using recycled clay primarily composed of 112 Standard Brown Clay with Specks and the others were made using Laguna B Mix. I used various underglazes including Speedball black and blue+yellow for Goobert's green goop, Mayco for the teal orb, turquoise battery, and brown wood, and the remaining colors are Coyote. All are topped with a clear glaze to make them food safe. Grimora - 542g, holds 1.5c Leshy - 808g, 2c Magnificus - 568g, 1.5c PO3 - 454g, 1.5c

Now you can have your dice shine red for dangerous encounters, blue during dialogue scenes, white for everyday scenarios, or cycle through the rainbow for an awesome dice dance party. Each piece is made out of stoneware clay and is roughly 5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. To clean, use a soft cloth and avoid harsh soaps/chemicals.

This painting depicting the view from the Crossroads in Hades II was made by layering acrylic paint between coats of epoxy resin. The result is a deep three-dimensional effect so you, too, can gaze into the deceptively serene landscape of Erebus. The painting is on stretched canvas which measures 24 in x 18 in (60.96 cm x 45.72cm). Please choose a location to display where the painting will be out of direct sunlight to prevent the resin from yellowing over time. As you contemplate the reflective finish, you may feel empowered to face your own challenges or may be reminded that time can not be stopped....ha ha...unless...?

She's still alive in the Aperture Science Facility....or maybe in your home! You can test out multiple wall layouts with this six-piece set of hand-inked illustrations - though you'll have to provide your own cake. Each piece is ink on bristol board; white ink has been used for corrections, or just for the fun texture of it, while watercolor makes up the distinctive tint of each robot's unique eye. GlaDOS is the largest of the pieces - of course - and takes center stage in her own aperture frame. ATLAS and P-body are a duo, both in paired portals. With the last trio - personality and corrupted cores - two pieces make a portal pair, while Wheatley has to handle the fact he's stuck in space and can't turn his hearing off. The frames have been hand painted to look like Portals from the game - or like the expanse of space some of our cores ended up in. All have been sealed with modpodge and have hanging loops on the back. You can display all of them on the same wall as a set, or pop your portals about your abode so your library and bedroom now have a handy way to put a book on your bedside table ;) Just please keep dry - inks are water resistant but not immune to water damage.
