Bad Magpie Key Art with an Indie Arena Booth 2026 border around it. 

The Bad Magpie Key art is the magpie in the centre of the image holding a flaming log with a trail of destruction and burning flowers behind her and crying mice running away from here. Peeking over the horizon behind her is a large glowing star. It says "BAD MAGPIE" in the centre of the image. 

The Indie Arena Booth border is pink and blue and says "Democratree, Games for Everyone" and "Indie Arena Booth 2026, 26 - 30 August. INDIEARENABOOTH.DE." There are cute illustrations of people and animals around the border too.

here's some of the first drawings of our squishy little magpie by our art director @catherineunger.bsky.social it’s crazy to think these were drawn 7 years ago and her eyes are still sitting on one side of her head.. tag yourself (I feel like the melting one)
a scan of sketchbook drawings of the magpie from our game Bad Magpie. There are 16 different drawings of her across the 2 pages, all with different expressions and movements
