So I have been off social media on purpose, again, but I am swinging back in with a COVER REVEAL, and a fun chat with Betsy Bird about my new book, Witchward Bound!

(I'm still working on my main game Witchward. I'm just drawing a ton of graphics at the moment and it takes a long time, as usual)

First copies of WITCHWARD BOUND showed up at my house and I entirely failed to be chill.

I'm working on some in-game portraits, so hopefully you'll see more characters from the game soon

Witchward Bound by @erinbowbooks.bsky.social

I’m here to tell you the year’s best adaptation of The Odyssey is a middle grade novel about two familiars—a cat named Butter and a raven named Owl—going on an adventure to find their witch.

Rating: Chris Nolan could never / 10

here's a title illustration (and potential Steam capsule) that our artist has been working on for the past week 🥳✨

as an aside, our game finally has a name - "Witchward"!

I've also been working on some cool mechanics so I'll be showing those off soon

I continue to be bad at social media but look y’all it’s a KIRKUS star.

Should I make a shirt that says “like Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate at their best…”? I think I should !

latest iteration of Mia from my game Witchward ✨

I think I'll go with this look for the game, for real this time lol, not the previous styles I've drawn her in before

This amazing blurb just came in for WITCHWARD BOUND, my talking animal fantasy that's coming out Sept 1. Thank you Jan Flynn for elevating my book to godhood.

finally got around to animating a proper explosion.
it's for a game jam this weekend though, so any improvements will have to wait

but this means I will be implementing explosions into Witchward starting next week 🤩🤩

some ideas I had about explosions in my game Witchward 🤯
#gamedev #indiedev

I think I'm gonna start posting sketches like these in order to share more about my game, and also to get myself to jot down ideas about mechanics in my game instead of forgetting them haha

The best Odyssey retelling you'll experience this year, featuring lines like "the sea was as dark as grape juice" and "DO NOT OPEN THIS BAG," the god thundered. "Right," squeaked Butter. He knew many big fat important words, but "foreshadowing" was not one of them.

I am thinking of having this line from Kirkus printed on a shirt and wearing it everywhere.

WITCHWARD BOUND — my forthcoming middle grade adventure — has its first pre-pub review, and it’s a⭐️from Kirkus.

It contains the phrase “like Kate DiCamillo and Kathryn Applegate at their best…” which I might put on, you know, EVERYTHING.

Is it gauche to put your Kirkus reviews on a t-shirt?
