The literal "chicken dance club" is dense with too many to count, but: - hard boiled egg yolk stools, cracked eggshell light fixtures (by @ginagaravalia.bsky.social) - band posters (by @erinholmes.bsky.social) - cans of worms

Oh no! 😱 Can Wren and Candle escape these giant, magical ants? Run faster!! 🐜🐜🐜 Another visdev painting for my personal gamedev project, The Wishing Stone! I decided to challenge myself with an action scene. I also including some environmental storytelling as well! #art

We’re in a dark corridor. Ruins stick out of the rock, with murals painted on them. On the left mural, two horned figures can be seen facing each other. On the right mural, a horned figure walks beside a giant ant, which carries a rock. In the room beyond the corridor, giant ants swarm atop a glowing pile of blue objects. They pour into the corridor, chasing a pair of figures who run in the foreground, fleeing. The first is a brown haired girl with a blue caplet, pants and boots. She yells and clings to the side of a dragon beast who carries her away. The dragon beast is golden with an orange mane, red horns, and a long tufted tail. He looks back as he runs, panicked. Up above, a giant ant looms over them, perched on the side of the corridor, its mandibles open to strike.

A bunch of color keys for my gamedev project! In my latest post, I talk about these color keys, other visdev work, pixel art assets, script writing progress, AND some behind the scenes WIP stuff! I hope you'll check it out! 💚🙏 Devlog #3: patreon.com/posts/wishing-stone-3-152223988 #art #gamedev

A girl and a dragon stand on cliffs surrounded by forest, overlooking a city in a valley down below. The city is topped with a tall spire. Sunlight makes the city and valley glow, but up above the trees cast cool shadows.

A street view of a city with buildings on either side. In the distance, a magical spire holds up another level of the city. Magic glows in paths on the buildings and street. People mill around in the background while in the foreground right, a girl and boy walk down some stairs.

A girl and a dragon look up at a ruined statue of a mysterious figure with horns. The figure holds something round in his hand. Around them, the ruins of some kind of structure sink into the sand of the desert. The desert is hot, and in the distance mountains disappear behind a haze.

A girl and a boy sit on a rooftop at night, overlooking a city. Light grows brightly through building windows, and all around glowing pieces of buildings float in a magical way. In the distance, a tall building with a glowing top rises over the city. Further beyond, mountains peek through low clouds. The sky shows a flash of pink sunset at the bottom and a crescent moon hangs in the air in the upper right.

Doggo!!!! (I love all the starters but you can see which one is my favorite 🥰) Happy Pokemon Day! I’m looking forward to the new games and I’m glad the devs are taking their time making them. Also looking forward to Pokemon Champions soon! #art #pokemon #pokemon30

More location visdev for my gamedev project! I explored a bunch of building styles. For the color palette, I landed on making the buildings warm-toned with a few pops of cool tones as accents. This will give me a starting point to create all kinds of pixel #art buildings from these shapes.

A sheet with 30+ building designs drawn in a top-down perspective. The buildings are based on 1890s-1920s architecture.

Gina Garavalia @ginagaravalia.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

More visdev for my gamedev project! Figuring out shape language and colors for the city's buildings. This city is powered by magic, so I needed some magical elements to indicate we're not on earth and help the buildings fit cohesively together. Will eventually use as inspiration for pixel #art.

A lineup of 5 buildings of various colors, made of brick and other materials. Glowing lines and floating elements indicate magic is present here. The buildings are inspired by 1880s-1910s architecture.

Here’s my first painting of the year: location visdev for my personal gamedev project, The Wishing Stone! This is Dalterra, the main setting for the story. 🐉 My goal was to work out the design elements of the city, colors and location. I’ll use this as inspiration later for the game’s pixel #art.

A city built on a upraised portion of land surrounded by rocky cliffs. A river leads to it.

If you weren't able to make it out to LightBox Expo, Steward Ng Books was kind enough to stock some copies of my plein-air painting book Scenic Routes! They also ship internationally which I haven't been able to do in the past. All the books are signed!~ stuartngbooks.com/collections/...

The full teaser poster for my Wishing Stone gamedev project! This poster took a really long time to make but I’m happy with how it turned out. More info about the project (including story and the first devlog) are on my links page in bio! #gamedev #art

A teaser poster. Two kids walk down a cobblestone street in the rain, splashing through puddles. On the left, an orange-haired boy tips a wide brimmed hat. His reflection in the puddle shows a orange and yellow beast with glowing eyes, horns, a fluffy mane and long tail. On the right, a girl with a cape throws a bag of coins into the air and points towards the camera. Beneath in her reflection, the cape is pulled over her eyes and she plays a violin with glowing strings. In the reflection, we can see they're surrounded by buildings on cliffs including windmills in the distance. A caption on the image reads "The Wishing Stone: A Gamedev Project by Gina Garavalia"

Hi friends! I’m excited to share that for the past 1.5 years I’ve been working on visdev for Disney Lorcana! I’ve been helping the worldbuilding team design locations, narrative beats, characters, props, sfx, and more. The first set I helped with, Whispers in the Well, comes out later this year. 🐭❤️

Was in Michigan for the holidays and had to sketch more snowy trees. It's always pretty after a snowstorm! ❄️ #art

Sunrise in the woods, where snow-covered trees are backlit by yellow sunlight peeking through the trunks. Snow covers tree branches and smaller bushes, while the trees cast long blue shadows across the snowy ground.

One feature I use a lot on Twitter is Lists where I put a bunch of users into a feed to scroll through. I curate these for different categories. I know this is essentially the same as a Bluesky feed, but is there a way to make and quickly add users to a personal list/feed from within the app?
