“A chance discovery of a broken bronze cup in Spain has revealed a 1,900-year-old depiction of Hadrian's Wall and forts in England, a new study reports. The multicolored vessel was likely crafted as a memento of a soldier's time defending the frontiers of the Roman Empire, the study authors said.”

Heyoo I'm TJ, a trans guy from the UK living in Buenos Aires! 🧉 I celebrate the parts of my childhood that shaped who I am today. 🥰 I work with game devs to create worlds that help us discover our true selves. Let's work together! ✉ hello@tjtrewin.com #TransDayOfVisibility #PixelArt #IndieGameDev

1-bit pixel art in desaturated lime green and dark brown, inspired by The Legend of Zelda gameboy style. I created individual tiles based on a prompt list for the Septembit 2025 challenge by Saultoons and used them to create a game mockup.

Details include: Link's character sprite, a great fairy fountain, a whispering stone, minecart and tracks, a tower with a big rupee, and various shop buildings.

Pixel art body shape studies using a limited 5 colour palette. Four different body types are shown in masculine and feminine form, with a central skeleton. They are about 16 by 48 pixels in size.

Trim Jim (slender), Gym Jim (very muscular), Slim Jim (underweight), Chin Jim (overweight), and Grim Jim (skeleton)

Promotional image for Knightwood fantasy pixel font. More than 250 languages supported, 16px tall, and includes bonus glyphs (examples shown are the decorative border, dungeon chains, and pixel art sword - they are all made using box-drawing characters within the font)!

Promotional image for pixel paper scrolls & ribbons tileset with a preview in the background of different paper edges, corners, rolled parts, flowing parts, holes, snags, folds, and torn paper.

In the foreground, an example sneak peek is shown in context for making a fantasy pixel art map.

The crime of genocide didn't exist until after WW2. It was something we decided was real, needed to be identified and punished. Even if we've been spectacularly bad at putting it in practise, we conceptualised it. I think it's about time for a CEO crime of murder-by-Economy.

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky. So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons! Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work.
Useful tips: Metro for daily free crosswords. CrosswordSolver, for tricky clues. DungeonScrawl, for making maps. LootTheRoom - for more random ideas
