Beatrice and Tristan stand side by side, both looking at the viewer. Tristan makes a heart with his hands, and Beatrice, a little embarrassed, waves. Text below them reads “Thank you!”
Hello, all!
As thanks for the support The Wishing Book has recieved, @haikuhello.bsky.social created this wonderful sketch to show our appreciation, and I’ve also written a postmortem. taylorsconfused.itch.io/the-wishing-...
Thank you for your support! It means the world! Have a lovely day! ❤️
A cinematic drawing featuring three of my characters: Eacla, a tween robot girl in a purple dress with a star shaped necklace. Melpomene, a robot woman in blue with spiral shaped ginger hair, who dons the tragedy mask. And Thalia, the sister of Melpomene. Who shares similarities, but with the key differences in her appearance being her curly hair, red clothing, and donning the comedy mask Eacla is on the palm of Thalia’s hand, chasing a bright star just out of reach. While Melpomene reaches for Eacla from the side
Content warning: gory A grayscale drawing where two office workers are looking up at the camera, mortified by what they’re seeing. With the pov of the camera being from a body hanging above an open door, held up by plants that have over taken the room surrounding them. Light shines through the door below. The shadow of a person whose head is covered with the same plants around the room is casted onto the ground. Along with the shadow of the body’s hand hanging above, with blood dripping down from it
Sprites for The Wishing Book. With the two sprites on the left being of Beatrice, a young overworked woman with long messy hair. First one is of her in her neutral pose, hands together and smiling, the second is of her hunched over in distress and crying ✨ The second two sprites on the right being of Tristan, an anxiety ridden teen boy who’s trying his best to keep it together. The first one is of him terrified and taken aback, the second is him in his neutral pose, smiling with one hand holding his other arm
Sprites for Nova’s Ship Top row of sprites is of an octopus monster named Charybdis. First sprite from the left is of her opening her mouth, about to eat something. Second sprite is of her smiling. Third sprite is of her frowning Bottom row of sprites is of a stinky monkey cat thing with a hand at the end of their tail. First sprite from the left is of them being offended. Second sprite is of them evilly smiling. Third is them somewhat sad

A side profile of Beatrice. She wears a plague doctor-like crow mask and her hair is tied. She wears a blacksmith’s apron and an undershirt with poofy, short sleeves.
Beatrice holding up a sword. She has shoulder-length, unkempt hair and no visible mouth. In her right hand, she holds a miniature hammer.
A sheet displaying various facial expressions of Beatrice’s. They are as follows… - Smiling, eyes closed - Shocked - Enraged - Crying
To the left of the frame, Beatrice is drawn from the shoulders up. She has big, unkempt hair and bangs. A thought bubble with a burger containing only lettuce is drawn above her head. The right of the frame, a bare bones sketch of Beatrice is drawn to lay out her proportions.
The Wishing Book concept art incoming! All drawn by the incredible @haikuhello.bsky.social!
Here’s some of the Beatrice concepts! She was designed first, so we were feeling out the game’s aesthetic as well as her design with these.

The first sketch of Tristan. He is a small kid with zig-zagging hair in a short ponytail. He wears overalls.
A full-body sketch of Tristan. He has been made older, and his ponytail is longer. In addition, his hair is smoother.
A sketch of Tristan. He learns to the side and holds The Wishing Book in his arms, looking to the camera.

Haiku's design for Tristan helped define his character loads, and we actually locked him in very fast. Love this guy!
You can play (and rate, mayhaps!) the game here! itch.io/jam/spooktob...

Dead cockroach lays on one piece of it’s tiny cardboard cut out coffin. The other yet to be assembled pieces of the coffin lay near by
Warning: dead cockroach
I found a dead cockroach in the garage a few days ago and I’ve been keeping it around for when I make a mini coffin for it, which I started doing today. Here’s the wip of it so far
Felt like making something that moves so I spent around an hour making something that moves

The title screen of This Magical Girl is a B*tch. Tabbie hangs up skull decorations while looking back, scowling at her classmates, teacher, and a fairy-like pixie.
It has been this way for some time now, but l'd wanted to share that, hey, "This Magical Girl is a B⭐️tch" is on SAG-AFTRA's Game Jam Waiver!
Many thanks to SAG-AFTRA, @pastelmagic.bsky.social for signing, and to NAVA and @jettbarker.bsky.social for helping us along the way. (cont.)
