Happy #PortfolioDay !
I'm Avanii, a plush and convention artist from the Netherlands! I design and handmake plush animals in realistic and toony styles. I also draw and paint animals, fantasy creatures, and semi-realistic Pokemon! Currently obsessed with volcanoes 🌋
Shop: avanii.nl
Photo of a realistic red fox plush, designed and handmade by the artist Avanii A painting done in acrylic inks, depicting an Icelandic landscape of moss and rocks, with a realistic typhlosion in the foreground and an erupting volcano in the background. A photo of a bunch of small plushies on a garden table. The group contains Eevee, Sylveon, Leafeon, Espeon, a few kitsune and a cute vampire bat. A painting done in acrylic inks. It depicts a volcanic monster made of lava and rock, shaped like a mustelid, with lava fountains bursting from its back as if it were a fissure eruption incarnate.

Mini mustelid madness! The snow seemed a nice backdrop for these guys 😁 These mini plushies/bag charms will be available at Nordic Fuzzcon next month and online after. Which is your favourite? #plushart #mustelids #marten #ferret #stoat #nfc2026 #handmadeplush #weasel
A group of small standing mustelid plushies are placed on a pristine surface of snow. Many kinds of martens, weasels and ferrets are there.

There's going to be a lot in 2026. We knew 2025 was only the start and the news will be non-stop. I will be trying my absolute best to continue creating and posting art. This is not an attempt to ignore everything going on, but an attempt at balance.

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

Just after midnight on 1 January 2026, a new eruption started from #Etna's eastern flank: a fissure opened at ~2100 m elevation, and a lava flow is descending through the desert-like Valle del Bove. Photos taken in the evening of 1 January from Etna's east and southeast flanks

Watching some Etna webcam footage got me inspired to paint my #typhlosion Hekla again! Work in progress, might tinker with it a bit more later. #traditionalart #pkmnart #pokemon #pokemonfanart
Photo of an A5 gouache painting of a realistic typhlosion in a threatening pose, flames erupting from her neck. Steam plumes and a dark rocky background suggest she is on a volcano crater rim.

LRT: It’s so cool to see Etna be active again like this! I was on the rim of the NE crater just 2 months ago, now it will look completely different. My photos are from mid October 2025. Really hope to visit it again someday, this volcano is truly beautiful! #etna #volcano
Photo of a steam cloud rising up from Etna’s North East Crater, as seen from the rim itself. Photo of a steam cloud rising up from Etna’s North East Crater, as seen from the rim itself. Hikers give a sense of scale. There is yellow sulfur on the rocky rim. A view of Etna’s summit, looking at the NE crater. A steam cloud is rising from it. Yellow and white crystals of sulfur and other minerals grow on the rocks near the crater rim.

🌋 This afternoon, the NE crater produced vigorous lava fountain activity, reaching heights of up to 400 m, followed by the development of an eruptive column rising several kilometers into the atmosphere.

Badger plush WIPs. The brown, erythristic one is done, but the classic grey still needs a lot of work, starting with attaching its nose 🦡 They’re sooo cuddly though! #handmadeplush #plushart #badger

Working on a new line of mini plush! They can stand thanks to their tail, and with the loop and ring you can also attach them to a bag, lanyard etc. They are little travel buddies 🥰 I started with mustelids, but what other animals should I make? #handmadeplush #ferret #weasel #avanii

*This* is what the people of Pompeii, and Herculaneum, and many other hapless souls saw—this is what a pyroclastic density current looks coming RIGHT at you.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

European badgers are very social and as such, I have to make a buddy for this lass as soon as possible 😂 She’s not even finished yet but here we go! It’ll be a classic grey one this time. #handmadeplush

Working on a new plush pattern: big laying #badger! I’m so pleased with this prototype so far 🥰 The colours are based on erythristic badgers, I’ll also make a classic grey one later! Photos show various stages of the plush making process. I did tons of thread sculpting on the paws! #handmadeplush

So I really like making plush Typhlosions 🥰 Here’s all the different types I’ve made: from ‘’comfy friends’, to jointed vintage toy style, beanies, and big & realistic. And #Quilava 😂 A couple will be up for adoption at Dutch Comic Con this weekend!#handmadeplush #typhlosion #pokemonart #pokemon
A photo of 4 typhlosion plushies made by Avanii. Two are fluffy and big, the others small and have plastic eyes instead of embroidered. Photo showing 8 handmade typhlosion plushies of various styles and sizes, both classic and hisuian varieties. There is also one quilava.

Aw yeah it's almost HDCC time, my last convention of the year! Find me, Avanii, in the DEALER HALL at booth H14. Working hard to get the last few plushies and patches done before the weekend starts. Will I see you there? :D

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account

Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half

We price for that, so please be understanding!
