Hearing about Solo September reminds me of my solo RPG: A god's library. I don't often share it, but it's a great time to do! In my game, you play as a librarian who's been taken to a god's dimension together with the library you work at. catoblepon.itch.io/a-god-s-libr... #SoloSeptember #solorpg

You work at the greatest library built ever. Now, a god had taken the library with you, and brought it to their realm.

If you hadn't noticed yet, my current obsession is all about birds...and I've been working on this little art zine which includes a random collection of facts and snippets of folklore for five birds! Each of which I have seen on my walks locally. This is free/pwyw preview, as I plan on adding more!

My new ffxiv cards from @crimsonsun.bsky.social just arrived and I’m so happy🥰🥰

A picture of a custom deck of cards. It shows the front of the deck box, with the title “FFXIV Playing Card Collection”, the back of the cards being black with the lineart of a feminine figure. Then, it shows six of the cards, each with a diff character of the game: Kan-E-Senna as the king if diamonds, Ysayle as the 6 of hearts, Haurchefaunt as the 10 of hearts, Raubahn holding Nanamo as king of hearts, and Merlwyb as the king of spades.

Another map done! As you might be able to tell I'm a sucker for drawing mountains and trees. I bought some calligraphy pens recently as well so hopefully soon I'll be able to make use of those on my maps for labels and other stuff. Just need to learn to use them first ✨ #cartography #mapmaking

A sketchpad held out with greenery in the background. On the pad there's a black and white of a mountainous region with lots of trees and hills. The area is costal and there are large jagged cliffs. Up at the top of the map there are less mountains, more forests, and a few rivers that flow into the sea.

I just finished making my first birdwatching art zine! 😍 tjtrewin.itch.io/cool-birds-i... trying out some worn-out marker brushes in Affinity really helped fight the perfectionism to get this finished hahaha xD #Zine #Zines #ArtZine #MiniZine #Birdwatching #Birding #NatureReserve #AvianAugust

(front cover)
Cool birds that I've seen in:
Área Natural Yrigoyen, Vicente López, Buenos Aires
TJ Trewin
tjtrewin.itch.io

Zine title with the feather of a Crested Caracara. A simple background illustration of tall, foreground grasses, and wetland in the background.

(back cover)
Pictured: A simplified map depicting the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Área Natural Yrigoyen nature reserve is marked - it's a short distance north of the city. The Mitre train line (to Tigre) is highlighted to show a convenient route for visiting (from Retiro).

What will you find?
tjtrewin.itch.io

Pages 2 & 3
Birds of Prey
One of the things I love the most about living in Buenos Aires is getting to see sooooo many birds of prey every day, even in the city!

Pictured:
- (bottom left) A large, dark feathered Harris Hawk on a log, bending down to tear meat from an unknown morsel held in place with its talons. A doodled annotation reads "om nom nom".
- (right, main) Two big Crested Caracaras perching amidst tree branches, looking off into the distance. The top one has doodled questionmarks to imply a curious expression, the lower one has a scribble to emphasize the tuft of its darker head crest sticking out.
- (bottom right) A Chimango, smaller than the Caracaras, has a smaller beak, no head tuft, and a lighter coloured body. A doodle of exclamation marks implies an alert expression.

Pages 4 & 5
Passeriformes
The mockingbirds often trick me into thinking that there's a bird somewhere nearby that I haven't seen before!

Pictured:
- (left, edge) A Narrow-billed Woodcreeper with a long, narrow beak, climbing the trunk of a tree and looking for insects.
- (left, bottom) A Red-crested Cardinal with a prominently pointed crest, standing on grass and looking downward and with doodles implying an expression of frustration.
- (right) A Chalk-browed Mockingbird perching atop a ledge and peering downards (seemingly towards the cardinal on the opposite page). Angled doodles from the beak look like an expression of speech, or birdsong, in the form of scribbled wavelengths.
- (right, bottom) A Great Kiskadee perched on a branch.

Pages 6 & 7
Water Birds
I enjoy staying motionless by the river (especially in the rain) and silently noticing all of the wildlife around me.

Hold on... am I a heron?

(Smudgy, partially erased text: I should stretch. I also have the same posture.)

Pictured:
- (top left) A huge Cocoi Heron in a relaxed yet hunched pose. It has a black crest atop its head and its neck has long, white, hair-like feathers.
- (left, main) A Maguari Stork as seen from below, soaring above with an enormous wingspan with black edges contrasting its white body.
- (right, edge) A large, almost-black Neotropic Cormorant with its webbed feet perching on a rock. Its long neck bends as it twists to face its beak directly facing forward to the viewer.
- (right, fold) A Grey-cowled Wood Rail, kind of chicken-sized, wades through the muddy river bank. It has a black tufty tail that sticks upwards, and it has a strong pointy beak like the heron and cormorant, though not as long.

I love that I got an OUNCE of motivation for my worldbuilding, but I find it very funny that my brain is being pulled in two different directions at the same time cuz two different projects. One makes me think: how can I make this interactive? The other makes me think: how weird can I make this?
