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! #zelda #totk #game #art #artbusiness

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 #madoka #magicalgirl #anime #kyubey #artbusiness

These guys are from Dreamscape, my upcoming web comic. I've just about finished writing the script and am going through a once-over before I commit to producing it - concept art is in progress! These prints, and more, can be found on my shop through the link in my bio <3 #dreamscape #dragons #oc

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.

- Parents are also supposed to be involved in their kids' education. - Studying at home is an essential part of actually learning or forming a skill - Not all kids these days are digital nomads and there needs to be an early years IT curriculum

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! 😆

This ones definitely flawed (I was a crap inbetweener) but I still kinda love it! Definitely one I want to revisit in the future when I have time. You'll probably see a lot more of this character in the future <3 #animation #dnd #dndcharacters #paladin #sotlw #shards

Am I still obsessed with my Dungeons and Dragons characters from the last long-term campaign I was part of? Yes. Will I continue to draw them in 2026? Absolutely. Here's an old Glory in homage to Bear Ghost's Jiminy. #wizard #dnd #bearghost #jiminy

Reform UK talks big on apprenticeships but you can’t build skills for the future on poverty pay. College lecturers are the lowest-paid teachers in the UK. This must change.
