Got a couple of sketches today from shape jam at @boro-edinburgh.bsky.social .

After getting a couple more things inked for The Hidden Keys, I was feeling a bit drawn out.

Inked up the last (I think) main icon for Hidden Keys. And decided to ink up another sketch. Enjoy!

Finished up one of the few art reworks for The Hidden Keys, @triplecastgames.bsky.social . It was one of the first character drawings I made and felt a newer version would fit the rest of the images better.
Anyway here is a pic partway through inking.

You know, the fact is I have no idea what I'm doing no matter how many articles on "success in the music industry" articles I read, because a lot of the stuff I read doesn't apply to me.

I'm not interested in a label. I'm a plus size Black femme in an industry that hates us. 1/

So I took a break after getting married, but I have been up to things like working on the Hidden Keys Project for @triplecastgames.bsky.social .

Here is one of the many icons for the project that I've been tidying up and putting into the layout!

Today's spicy 🌶️ #ttrpg take is that the fastest way to sell your new game is to claim that its mechanics solves all the problems of whatever other is popular right now.

Your game doesn't actually have to solve the problem. It just needs to look kind of flashy and have pretty art.

I'ma be real. The thing that worries me the most about releasing my first original IP in #TTRPGs is seeing the way some folks (including ppl on here) talk about them. Mainly, the levying of sometimes brutal criticism with zero suggestion of what could have been done better. 1/

Unexpected costs have put some dampeners on the last of my wedding prep, please have a look over my art print shop and if you like any of the prints, place an order! It would really help me out!

Character art commissions are open too
