I REALLY love Tears of the Kingdom! The light dragon is such a beautiful design and I had so much fun drawing it!
As with the previous post, this is another print that will be available at MegaCon Birmingham!

I absolutely love Clip Studio Paint's timelapse feature. Saves me remembering to record footage for social media!
This is going to be a print - keep your eyes out and maybe give me a follow on Instagram where I tend to post more regular updates <3

I'm a big believer in the "Madoka rule": Watch at least 3 episodes of a show to determine whether or not you'll continue it! Pilots aren't always the best and 2nd episodes sometimes just barely expand on it but especially for a linear story, sticking around for a 3rd can make all the difference!

As an autistic woman who finds community and socialising a lot harder than it should be, I've recently realised how important both of those things are to my craft as a teacher and an animator/games designer.
Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people.
The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

This was the last trailer we made together at Studio Grackle. It never felt right to say it before the release, but I closed the studio a year ago.
Thank you to @supergiantgames.bsky.social for always supporting us, and being the best creative partner I could’ve ever asked for.

Back to some OC art. This is Solanne (previously known as Cyan) from my in-development webcomic! It'll probably come after I've done my animatics for DnD, which is to say you'll get it quicker if the first DnD animatic "episode" flops... but on the flip side I'll be a bit depressed! 😆
