Hello! I'm Jean Cabot and I do #comics and #ceramics.

My hubsite is hamsterbandit.com which also contains the fiction I write, which is primarily ghost stories.

My #webcomic is hamsterwheel.art which is a diary comic where events are MUCH more impressive via presenting them as a hamster.
Comic. A snowboarder is shown doing an amazing feat labelled 'Olympian'. Following this, a hamster in snowboots labelled 'me' gets on a snowboard and immediately explodes. Comic. Hamham and his mother (a guinea pig) are emptying boxes on a deck. They discover Hamham's baby shoes in the latest box and Guineamom has a flashback to when Hamham was very small and wearing them. Hamham says 'so. Trash?' and a tear-filled Guineamom says 'you have misread the moment, my child' 3 ceramic cats around a loonie. 3 ceramic hedgehogs around a loonie.

Copperwell's many outfits! 🎉

We've got his regular dressed-up looks, his fun beach looks, his situational adventure looks, and his dressed-down looks!

This took me three full days of work, and it was very fun to do. I hope you guys like it! Check out the 🧵!

Erinyus' Larion Form

So I've mentioned a few times in the past that Erinyus can turn into animals (though prefers turning into people). Her favourite form is that of a large dark larion with extra fangs. (In game, she's a feral druid.)

#WorldofWarcraft | #WarcraftArt | #FyshDraws
A large black lion creature with saber tooth fangs, and wings. It has blue paws, blue wing tips, a blue mane that attaches to the tail that is in a braid.

elydine cailar 🌿☀️ // #warcraft
Warcraft fanart; a fullbody character design of a Blood Elf (Elydine Cailar) in a haphazard mix of plate, cloth and leather armor. Her red hair is cut into a bob, with a dark beige headband unsuccessfully pushing her long, thin curtain bangs out of the way. Along her chest, wrists and boots, she wears Silvermoon guard armor with vines twining around the plate. She has a leather undershirt and collar, with a linen shirt, sleeves rolled up to her shoulders, below that. She has huge, baggy beige pants tucked into the boots, with a striped, green belt tied around her waist with rope. Stitched into her pants is a pocket with a bottle. Across her shoulder is a crossbody, leather bag. She is smiling and looking to the side, arms to her hips in a confident pose. Her skin is pale and flush, with freckles dotting her cheeks below her yellow eyes.

dancing dragons
Digital painting of a Mega Dragonite, dueling with a Mega Altaria. The shiny mega Dragonite is wielding a spear with a curved blade, clashing against a white sword wielded by the mega Altaria. They are dueling in the sky, surrounded by seven other Altarias aiming to attack the Dragonite, and there thunderclouds brewing in the backdrop.

a tiny sphinx with equally tiny riddles (sold)! #ceramics
Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a tiny sphinx against a white background, only a bit over an inch or 2.5 centimeters long. They're standing, head slightly raised. It has a silly, happy expression. Its brown body is densely packed with black stripes, contrasted by white wings, white tummy, and a white star on the nape of its neck.

I've been so tickled after making the ceramic sphinx in my last post that I couldn't help but draw them for some fun this weekend :)
The same ceramic sphinx in the last post now digitally illustrated. In the top panel it sits with a giant grin, speaking. The text reads "A man in a car saw a golden door, a silver door, and a bronze door. Which door did he open first? The car door!" Bottom left it goes flying through the air, mouth open in a snarl. The text reads "Riddle failed! (Mind you they are the size of a kitten, don't worry about it). Bottom right shows them curled up on their back, blissfully relaxed, eyes closed for a nap. The text reads "Two minutes later". Scattered throughout the illusration are three small, simple doodles, looking up in wonder at a flowering plant, on its back, legs sticking straight up with a frustrated expression, and the last one; tail high with a happy smile.
