🔮 Vision Glimpse: Honing in on some style refinements.. I think?

Who might this mysterious silhouette in front of Lark be? Some of our truly deep-diving Wayfinders might know who this new friend—or foe!?—is..?

Slap your suspicions in the comments and stay tuned for more soon!

I learned a lot about anatomy from this too! 😍

Digital side-by-side comparison of two versions of a Beta Phase "Cactus Gecko" 'Wondercards' for the vast and boundless Warped Worlds Wonderverse™ and Trading Card Game created by Canadian artist and solodev Mat André. The card depicts a vibrant, cartoon gecko-like creature leaping towards the viewer with its tongue trailing behind, dripping with psychedelic saliva. The gecko appears to be in an aggitated state and has "popped" off its own cactus-like tail, brandishing it above its head as it leaps towards the player, seemingly through a slanted square portal, surrounded by swirling purple, green, and magenta energies. The card has various stats and numbers relating to the Trading Card Game and mechanics as well as flavour text that reads: "Watch where you walk! Blandian Cactus Geckos are sneaky, spiky, and often underfoot!" ---------------------- Extra Info: I wanted to create a game that took inspiration from a variety of sources, but with a neo-retro 90's flair. Captivated by the vibrant, splashy colours and counter-culture vibe of TMNT, Toxic Avenger, and POG, the style of Warped Worlds: The Wispening TCG is a cutting-edge blast from the past! But an even larger part of the Warped Worlds experience is the interactive/collaborative "Weave Our Own Wonders" system, where YOU the Watchers and Wonderlings get to weigh-in on what happens and what lore and cards we develop! 🦋 The Blandian Cactus Gecko was a Bluesky community collaboration! We came up with a brand new fantasy creature that burrows under the sands of Blandia's deserts, disguising itself as a garden of cactuses. 🏜 💖 If you like creating creatures, original characters, stories, lore, and worlds, and supporting REAL HUMAN-MADE ART and projects—you should totally join us on Patreon! 👇 Find out more and join and support the Wonderstream™ below!

In an effort to increase clarity on our Wondercards, I've made some tweaks to their design—translucent text boxes w coloured borders that will reflect the Wit's elemental type (when applicable) & added "WB" (Well-Being), "ATK" and "DEF" to their respective stats.

Thoughts?

Few random shots from our first social media filming day—I, of course, forgot my selfie stick and pretty much had no time between shooting/filming, so this is the best I got! Haha

Wig is still a WiP and won't be "movie accurate", but we are also doing a parody, and it isn't really based on them.

This is the second time Jenna Ortega has messaged me on Pinterest. ...Desperate, much?? I WAS going to give her my address and credit card info, but she's starting to come off as pathetic. I'M MARRIED, ORTEGA, BTFO!!

Just a friendly reminder as you start (or continue) your week.

Have faith, patience, and most importantly—be true to YOU.

🙏💙🙌🌌

Oh I don't think I commented on it, but I saw it on my Warped Worlds account and it looks great! You can certainly see the likeness and your personal character / touches are really showing through with each new piece.

Aww man that means a lot to hear you say that, Mrs. A. 🙏 Colours are something I like, but I don't necessarily focus on any specific "theory" or palettes usually—it's typically just rainbow madness (and a lot of purple), so I'm glad someone appreciates it! And skulls are one of my fav things! 💀🌈💜

Likenesses are SOOO hard. I'm sure it's a great piece even if it doesn't quite scream Ortega. Never any pressure to share art you are not comfortable sharing either, tho. We are often pressured to share it all, but some (all?) art can just be a learning or personal experience or expression piece. 😊

"Magic" by Canadian artist-entertainer Mat André 2023; A digital drawing/painting of a green-skinned, clawed monster or demon hand casting a spell of swirling bright green magic forming a small, open-mouthed skull with glowing green eyes. The hand is on a magical, abstract purple background.

Wait.. there is no "p" in "comfort" haha ...comfies? ... Just wear whatever you're comfortable in and come draw! 😝✏️🖍

‼️ Wonderlings, our handle’s had a "known bug" since we changed it to our custom domain a few weeks ago, so if you’ve tried to tag me and couldn’t or it was showing "Invalid Handle", that’s likely why.

I’ve switched it back so we can flow again until @bsky.app fixes it—thanks for bearing with us! 🙃

Saw one of them Pokeymans in muh back lane jus now!! Should I catch it?? 👀🦨💨

Ahhh amazing design!! 😍

One of two pages of a fictional journal entry on crinckled, lined, brown paper. The text is surrounded by little child-like doodles and words. The text reads: Dear Journal, I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written again.. Life's been..interesting? Okay.. I don't like to be "negative" when we talk, but it's been.. challenging. I've really been feeling the weight, Journal. The weight of The Farm, the drought, the world. And yet, I feel a pull. A desire. A passion, even, for... SOMETHING? Maybe it's adventure? Maybe it's connection? Friendship? Support? Rest?? I don't know... I know I have Uncle Grunk and Grampa Hornt, and a handful of friends, but somehow, I still feel so alone. Like I am going through the motions--feed the chimkens, harvest the kron, play with--I mean, sweep away the Dust Bunnies.. It's not that I don't like these things, but sometimes, I feel like I just want a little more, if even for a little while... NEXT" (Continued on next Journal entry page 2 of 2)

The second of two pages of a fictional journal entry on crinckled, lined, brown paper. The text is surrounded by little child-like doodles and words. The text reads: "But, there's the farm, and Uncle Grunk, and the Chimkens.. (AND! All these weird feathers we've been finding around the farm lately!?) Who will take care of them if I'm not here? And the drought... Even if I could venture past the farm, I wouldn't get far without water... and the world... How is the world, how is Blandia, going to survive all of this, let alone, me, Uncle Grunk, and The Farm?? And in feeling the weight, I feel like I am responsible. Like, I am being called to do something... ANYTHING, but I'm caught in a loop. Or, as Grampa Hornt says, a "Whirlwind of Woe" and it feels like every step forward is a step back... Oh, Journal—and Watchers, if you're out there—if you have any answers, any advice, a tip, a hint, a clue... Now is the time. I'm listening. With Love and much Wonder, Lark"

#warpedworlds #larksjournal

Been a while since Lark has made a Journal entry. It seems that lately, they have been feeling "The Weight"; of the world, their responsibilities, and the cycle they are seemingly caught in... And yet, still, something calls.. 💫❤️‍🔥✨️🌌

In the past 10 days, we've released over 17 HOURS of Warped Worlds #livestream content—from #worldbuilding, to unveiling our 🆕️ #webcomic and #TCG, to sharing your #fanart and drawing your #OCs, and even some #ASMR -- There's something for EVERYONE in the Wonderverse!

PLEASE LIKE👍, SUBSCRIBE 🔔, & 🔁💞

That's wild. These are all so fresh. I'm excited to see more!!

These are all amazing!! 🤩

No, some things shouldn't necessarily "HAVE" to be censored, but I'd much rather censor my content by CHOICE than by FORCE.

These are serious times, but we still have the choice on a lot of these things. We can be respectful, conscientious, and polite while still making a stand for what is right.

People... label your NSFW content.

I am all for all of it. Whatever floats your boat 🛶 or tickles your pink 🌸 or does something to your something.

But if we can't be responible and we don't label and "self-censor" our content, it's pretty hard for us to complain when it all gets shut down.

How, regardless of when I post, or how many reposts I attempt throughout any given day, are not more than 5/1080 followers reacting to my content? Again, if it was not worth engaging, I get it, but how are followers going up but engagement is not...like...at all..??

Thanks so much for your reply! I agree that there is definitely some luck, timezone consideration, and reposts etc have a lot to do with it... but still, by sheer math, with almost 1.1K followers to generally get between 0-10 likes, it just seems... improbable?
