Meet Estela! ✨️
She is a cave-dwelling rat snake whose job it is to gather & repair all of the burned-out stars in the night sky~☆ She’s shy and easily startled, but takes her job very seriously! Estela emerges at sunset, when the sky is full of oranges and pinks so that she can blend in while she gathers all of the stars that need repairs. She returns them to the sky all shiny & new at sunrise~
I’d wanted to make a lil mascot for my shop & art accounts for SO long, and I could not be happier with this little friend that I’ve created~!! I’m super eager to make more artwork of her, as well as some cute comic strips and hopefully merch as well I hope you all love her as much as I do!! ♡♡♡
