Instead of struggle to do more here, I'll just give folx access there. There's probably lots you've seen before, but it's a lovely bunch of people already & a very chill place to visit, instead of doom scrolling 💕

I'll post the link in the next 48hrs or so.

I think I only have the bandwidth for one form of "posting", I need to limit myself to an #accessible platform, I think that's #discord for my brain, but I do enjoy my time here!

So I'm not buggering off, just admitting I can't do regular posting here with my #audhd 😅

So!

Festive season was super busy! I'm still gonna be pretty swamped until end of Feb too, so things will still be drip fed here for a while 😅

BUT! I've got loads to share, including my first merch & plans for a one shot/quick start zine, so I'm gonna get back to it! 😊

Teen Goblin just got their first 6th form placement offer 🥰 so freakin' proud.

No one holds a grudge like a dumped narcissist.

Satire is dead and so is my patience.

Watching Tales from Woodcreek, feels like a cosy dark fantasy Crystal Maze, with Woll as the Maze Master.

Bloody brilliant 😍

#actualplay #talesfromwoodcreek

Giving myself a break at the moment, still working but from now til Jan, I'm dialling it back to allow for the cognitive load of the festive season (including 3 b'days 😂) & alleviate #burnout.

I'll still be posting just even slower lol

Full-colour gouache painting titled Magob Monarch. Depicts a large molten creature resembling a mound of cooling lava, patterned with black crust and glowing orange fissures. A single yellow eye peers near the top beneath a golden crown. The background glows with reds and oranges, giving a radiant heat effect.

Digital graphic with a deep red background and light beige text. Text reads: The Magob Monarch While the Magobs are a welcome addition to the citizens of the Vermillion Kingdom, their origins remain shrouded in mystery. Vermillious folx tell stories of the Magob Monarch — an enormous Magob wearing a crown of gleaming liquid gold, said to dwell within the heart of the Esse. They say she spawns the Magobs from her royal chamber, sending them into the world to help those who work with flame and forge.

Full colour digital painting, made within Procreate. A sentient humanoid tree branch stands upright against a mottled green-to-purple background. Their body is made of twisting wood covered in patches of moss and lichen that form a robe-like shape. Pale green lichen creates full eyebrows, a moustache, and a beard, giving them an expressive face. In one hand, they hold a large fern frond like a quill pen, lifted as if ready to write. Their other hand holds a long parchment scroll that unfurls down to the ground. The character is the Lichen Scribe, who records anything the deity Impotsutrix requires.

Next steps, insurance & stall ideas. But that can wait until next year, I've got two campaigns on the go right now, they're the priority 🥰 🧵(/end)

Time to pivot wildly into a "one shot zine" based in Alagrestia & get painting! I've already got the story idea & characters, so I can spend some time painting them while my brain percolates on the narrative 🥴🤣 🧵(2/3)

Oh wow so it's been a great day over here & I'm weirdly happily overwhelmed? 😅 Just got myself on the path to running a stall at a future event 🥰 🧵(1/3)

Full colour minifig, made in Heroforge A elderly, greying, gorilla-like Apefolk woman stands facing the viewer, dressed in layered green and purple garments: a rustic green shawl drapes over her shoulders and a similarly coloured shirt, with bell sleeves. Her split overskirt in the same hues hangs over a pair of woven leaf shorts. She wears a wide-brimmed green hat topped with a wreath of rainbow-coloured roses. One hand holds a woven basket filled with produce and herbs; the other holds a single purple flower. Her skin/feet are rough and dark, like bark or stone. Behind her is a bright field with scattered trees, blue sky, and white clouds. This character is Panora Haze, Keeper of Dewplume Crossing.

Text reads: Panora Haze Keeper of Dewplume Crossing. After much travel across Alagrestia, Panora, a veteran herbologist, alchemist & gardener, settled at Dewplume Crossing. Seeing the potential for a restorative haven for weary travellers, Panora set to the business of cultivation & agriculture. She tends the Crossing, growing rare herbs & potent magical plants, in careful patterns, hybridising strange yet powerful new flora. Dewplume Crossing has become her home & while she is welcoming, she will guard it fiercely from the greedy or disrespectful.

Loaded up inkarnate to work on maps today, none of them will load.

Emailed support, currently just trying to figure out what I do if I've lost 5 years worth of WIP maps.

So how's everyone else's Monday? 😅🤣

Full-colour digital TTRPG map made in Inkarnate. A snow-covered forest region bordered by snow laden cliffs and icy water. Four named settlements glow with soft golden light through dense trees: Holbrow in the northwest, Velven in the southwest, Kindlebranch in the northeast near a wooden bridge, and Neventhe in the southeast near the water’s edge. The landscape transitions from this sheets of ice and snow at the edges to vibrant green within. In the sky above every settlement, floats a soft halo of amber-gold orbs high above the treetops, this is the Sapstream. These create a network of sorts, with the Sapstream constantly moving, able to supply arcane energies to the settlements below, suspended & stabilised by arcane means both natural and Orcan.

Digital graphic with blue background and white text. Text reads: Sapstream Above each settlement in the Shivering Woodlands floats a soft halo of amber-gold orbs — the Sapstream. Held aloft by arcane forces both natural and Orcan, the Sapstream forms a living network of suspended energy. Secreted by the largest and most long-lived trees of the Woodlands, Kindlebranch Firs, this bioluminescent sap trickles upwards, eventually leaving the canopy altogether, settling in the skies above. These nodes of sap then begin a continuous ‘orbit,’ emitting endless arcane energies to be harnessed by the settlements below.

Full colour gouache painting of four small magma creatures on a warm orange background. Each creature, called a Magob, has a semi-liquid body of glowing magma with dark, coal-like crust forming across its surface. The crust appears thick and cracked, cooling in uneven patches that reveal fiery red magma beneath. Each Magob has large, bright yellow eyes and a curious, expressive look. Their shapes vary, some squat and rounded, others elongated or partially melted, as if caught mid-bubble or stretch. The background fades through vivid orange and amber tones, evoking heat, flame, and molten light.

Full colour digital text panel on a red gradient background, text reads: Magobs of the Vermillion Esse Small, sentient blobs of molten curiosity, the Magobs live and work among the furnaces of the Vermillion Kingdom. Among the more charming creatures native to the Esse, Magobs have long found a place within the Kingdom’s citizenry. Composed of endlessly simmering magma and crusted coal, they lend their heat to fuel forges, power machinery, and the occasional bubble bath.”

Full colour digital TTRPG map, made in Inkarnate. The map shows the Tidal Dunes, a wide expanse of golden desert where seven large dunes rise and fall like waves caught in motion. The dunes dominate the scene, their ridges and slopes curling as if shaped by an unseen storm. Across the sands are scattered signs of habitation: two larger settlements built upon dunes, marked by structures and glowing crystal formations, while elsewhere ruins and fragments of stonework lie half-buried. Clusters of palm trees and sparse vegetation break the monotony of the sand, giving hints of life in the desert.

Full colour screenshot of a stylised worldbuilding text panel. Text reads: The Restless Dreamer of the Tidal Dunes The Tidal Dunes are a vast stretch of the Golden Expanse, where seven peaks roil as if caught in a crawling oceanic storm. Zenythan folklore attributes this phenomenon to The Restless Dreamer; an enormous eel-like creature slumbering beneath the sands. It is said their dream began before Zenytha itself and will continue until Alagrestia wanes into dust and memory. No one has ever seen this colossal being, yet the results of its tumultuous tossing and turning paint a clear picture for the locals. One of an ancient, mysterious beast, dreaming dreams of eternity. screenshot of a stylised worldbuilding text panel.

Full colour digital illustration of a fantasy TTRPG battle map. The map depicts a riverside apothecary settlement, Dewplume Crossing, divided by a vertical rushing river. On the left, sweeping flower fields bloom in layered colours—blue, purple, red, yellow, and white. A rustic wooden home sits beside and partly within a massive tree root protrusion, ringed by towering mushrooms with pink, orange, and blue speckled caps. A lantern-lit path winds from the home to a wooden bridge that crosses the river. On the right, the land is cultivated with clear purpose. At the top, a small dock juts into the river beside a pond fed by a stream, while neat farmland rows and garden plots fill the nearby slope. A wood-splitting area with logs and tools lies close to the path. Below, a spiral vineyard flourishes, its vines carefully trained to grow from another giant root protruding from the ground. This vast root spreads outward in twisting limbs, with pathways and stone-paved clearings woven through it. At the bottom, a campsite of pitched tents, a campfire, and supplies rests in a clearing. Dense forest frames the map on all sides, with rocky cliffs at the base, creating a secluded, magical atmosphere.

Full colour digital illustration of a fantasy world map segment. The map shows a heavily forested region centred on the Culmen Forest, which stretches between waterways and lakes. At the northern edge of the forest lie the island settlements of Glance and Gaze, each nestled in large lakes. Flowing southward, the rivers form the Weeping Brooks, winding through dense woodland before opening out into the lower lands. To the west, the rocky pass of Windthrown Gulch is marked, with the towering cliffs of Soaring Precipice above. The eastern side of the map shows the Sward Fell, a highland woodland region. A bright blue circle highlights the location of Dewplume Crossing, situated at the mouth of the Weeping Brooks where they open toward Windthrown Gulch. This marks the settlement’s position as a river crossing point between forest, cliffs, and flowing water.

Dark teal text box with pale teal text, text reads: Dewplume Crossing is a secluded settlement at the mouth of the Weeping Brooks, where the rivers merge into Windthrown Gulch. Named for the ever present veil of dew and fragrant pollen, drifting across the small settlement. Revered for its collection of rare plants, carefully tended by its Keeper, Panora Haze. She greets & monitors the Crossing’s numerous visitors, who come to collect small amounts of these plants for their arcane potency. The majority of which produce spores, petals, and oils with properties unseen elsewhere on the continent. The Twilight Vineyard in particular is fiercely guarded by Panora, allowing only a select few to sample the fruits of her labour.

Full colour digital image with stylised text in a bordered box. The text reads: “Boombloom Trees are one of Vernai’s most volatile species of flora. Their blooms, while pleasantly luminous are highly explosive, if not handled correctly. When harvested safely the petals, bulbs & seeds are used in various ways. Dried leaves & petals make a fragrant, smouldering pyre-pourri, used in spiritual practices. Preserved bulbs can be encased in the bark of the tree to be thrown at ones enemy, creating a small but potent explosion. And seeds are most often used as a natural accelerant for campfires & hearths.”

Full colour photo of a small gouache painting. An upright luminous bloom rises on a sturdy brown stem, framed by dark green leaves arching in from the sides. The flower resembles a glowing streetlamp lantern, its upright bud formed from overlapping orange petals that curve outward into a bulbous shape. The top flares into small curling tips, where glowing golden spores float upward in a loose trail. A jagged green leafy collar clasps the bloom at its base, where the stem thickens and supports it like a mounted fixture. Two soft halos of yellow light radiate outward from behind the bloom, enhancing its resemblance to a lamp casting light against the teal background. The impression is of a volatile yet radiant plant, upright and glowing like a fiery lantern amongst the foliage.

Text box with dark ocean background, a lighter blue frame and light blue text. The text reads: Kreelpers resemble large floating clumps if kelp, spending most of their lives drifting with the tides. Small fish & ocean life will seek shelter amongst its fronds, only to be swiftly speared by a viney tendril and delivered to the Kreelper's waiting maw. As they float across the waters, Kreelpers will often merge together, creating a much larger, more aggressive beast. With the added mobility and power of the swarm, they are able to ensnare and devour much larger prey. Additionally as they swarm they begin to emit a noxious oil like substance, toxic to any non-plant based life that should mistake it for a safe harbour from the great blue void.

Full colour photo of a small gouache painting. A green sea creature resembling a drifting clump of kelp floats on the surface of the water, spanning no more than seven feet across. Its body is amorphous and plantlike, spreading into flat fronds that blur the line between plant and flesh. Long, vine-like tendrils writhe and lash outward, some curling loosely while others spear into fish, hoisting their struggling or limp bodies above the waves. One fish dangles helplessly near the creature’s wide maw, which is filled with sharp, triangular teeth arranged in a jagged grin. The tendrils bend and coil with restless energy, giving the impression of constant motion and predatory intent, as though the kelp-like mass is alive and hunting beneath the disguise of drifting seaweed.

I set myself a fun little worldbuilding prompt list for my hols 😊 2 weeks of Alagrestia!
