Me when a theme from a game I've never played gets stuck in my head and I MUST do something with it:

Also this is my entry for the #Vgen April challenge (theme: Bee). First time posting original music in public I'm nervous 😬

www.kickstarter.com/projects/sea... kickstarter is over but it explains it much better than I did there 🤣
It’s a pokémon inspired game where you are a wizard! You can make your own town!
Each time I read a kickstarter update I get MORE excited for this 😍 Now that we got a list of the MoN that will appear in the alpha, I’m already planning my team for it 🤣
OMG the winged one is GORGEOUS
TJ's work always impresses me, and the detail he puts into the little things is amazing 🥰 And he's really easy to work with 😍
There's just over one day left to grab this incredible bundle of games! Every penny will be going to an excellent charity providing care and support for anyone struggling with their mental health.
The Wandering Library: Expanded Edition is just one of many in here! 💚

Take a look, see if something catches your attention!

Geez, calm down, no need for giving heart attacks 🤣
A pamphlet for the Most Beautiful Award of “Worldbuilding Awards 2026 World Anvil”, saying “I am a nominee!”. It showcases partial images of five different world’s homepages: - Elaquitan by Blue Fairy 74 - Crimson Court by Pandora9 - Linguomancy by Gurlu - Vaelis Arin by Catoblepon - Fate’s Misfits by Make lore, not war
I also got nominated for the “Most beautiful world”! Incredibly proud here too! Putting it down here because it doesn’t go with public vote.

I don’t often think I have stuff to share, which is part of the problem! But maybe if I start sharing I can get my ass back into creating mode! 😤
I gotta remember that I’m allowed to share my stuff in here, and then actually do it… Maybe I’ll talk later about my worldbuilding world anvil nominations!
I also need to interiorise that I’m allowed to post more than once a day. People are following me to see me talk and share my stuff! 😤

OMG that’s a funny bug 🤣

We're halfway through the month and rent is due like unironically, so I'm just gonna use VGen's discount feature and press the "ACTIVATE SALE" button for a week
I also made new graphics
I offer a humble 20% off for everything I do over there! As always there's no pressure, anything helps!!!
Never claimed i was!
I like it, gib
Atop a background of three snippets of island maps is a banner with a green wax stamp of a decorative F.G. The banner reads "Coming soon in Fantastical Geographic..." The maps feature islands with different environments, from forested, to a snowy mountain, and a desert chasm. Central is a square of paper with a heraldic logo reading "Star Trails Sanctuary", and a piece of paper along the bottom reads "Heraldic logo by Alderdoodle - Maps by AP. Cartography"
The next release of Fantastical Geographic is only a couple of days away!! There is honestly so much good stuff in this next issue, and I can't wait for you to see it! 💚
Make sure you're following @fangeo.bsky.social for all the updates!

A square of paper on a dark green background that reads "Ko-Fi Memberships. Support AP monthly at the following tiers: Traveller - £1 Explorer - £5 Adventurer - £8 Head to Ko-Fi to find out more!" Beneath the text are three steaming mugs with different designs. In the bottom right corner of the page is the text "Fun Fact: All members are collectively known as T.E.A Leaves!" In the bottom left corner is a yellow wax seal stamp with the logo of AP. and an orange ribbon with the words "AP. Cartography, ko-fi.com/apmaps"
Made some new art for the KoFi tiers, fully leaning into the whole happy accident that was the tiers creating the acronym of TEA! ☕
I probably should look into getting myself a map mug...or who knows, maybe making/designing one myself? 👀 Which of these would you choose?
I’d love to recommend my friend, @ap-cartography.bsky.social, game: Wandering Library!
There’s a simpler version on her profile as well, if you are looking for quicker to learn games.

Hell yeah! Time to start writing! 😤
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Yeah! My problem that since I started drawing without an idea, I really struggle giving the character an identity or and lore 😅
