Hi, I'm Hayley, and welcome to my Bluesky account! I'm a character bio and worldbuilding specialist.
I made this mostly for myself, but hey, if it's useful to you then here it is!

This is my entry for a Sheezy Oct prompt, "Desired path", and the first place my brain went to was the yellow brick road going through a forest. So, what do you think? Will those monsters attack you en masse and eat the flesh off your bones, or will they burst into song about how evil they are?

I had a full-on Friday with 5 hours of groupwork, so when I got home, I spent the evening drawing this mountain scene. What do you think?

Want to see a few more scenery pictures? They're not directly relevant to TCC, but I've been having fun with these!

Aside from all that, when I'm not busy in my offline life and not working on commissions, I'm drawing scenery like this.

My other CYOA is a fangame of
#knightmare
from the 1980s! My favourite series was S3, so I'm trying to stay faithful to that one. Rooms are my least-strong thing to draw but by the time I'm done illustrating this I think I should be awesome at it.

First of all, I've been planning some more of Four Flamingos of the Apocalypse, my Choose Your Own Adventure. I've also been learning to draw, and really like how they individual horsemen are looking! Here's Death, a greater flamingo. I think he's celebrating because he just left the zoo!

Hi folks! I know not many people will be listening, but I'm not that great with social media so will usually be a bit on-off like this. This is just to say I'm doing fine and haven't fallen off the surface of the planet or anything (yet)! As it's
#TavernThursday

#TavernThursday
! It's been a funny week for me. Not particularly busy but all my clients and other busy things have been spread out over the week, so I've decided to shepherd my clients towards the latter end of the week. Wish me luck! How are you all doing?

! Babies are one of the biggest new starts we encounter in life. Because of this, different cultures have created a wide range of traditions around welcoming a baby into the world. Perhaps in your worldbuilding project, other traditions hold. What are they?

! Today we're looking at ancient creatures. On Earth, our "living fossils" include sharks, crocodilians, and platypi. There are plants too: the gingko tree produces fruit that no animal eats any more. What species on your world have been around the longest?

It's Tavern Thursday, where we check in with each other. I'm coming to the end of a busy week. On the other hand, I treated myself to a fantasy book I've been wanting to read for ages: The

of Bloodrock by

#TavernThursday
! I'm enjoying this week as it's the first time this year it feels like summer. I worry about climate change, but my SLB (Stupid Lizard Brain) appreciated the warmth and lush trees. Aside from that I had a new client start this week. How about the rest of you?

! Wherever there are people with a bit of spare time to play, they will make playgrounds: cliffs to leap off into the ocean, beaches with hammocks to lounge on, or places to see and interact with wild animals. What are the natural 'playgrounds' in your world?

It's Culture Tuesday! Do celebrities occur in your project? Singers, actors, or other entertainers? What about scientists (such as Prof. Brian Cox), explorers (BRIAN BLESSED??!), inventors, spiritual leaders, or philosophers? Introduce them here!

It's Tech Monday! However fast your world's technological development is, it means nothing if no-one uses it. How quick is new tech adopted on your world? Are there trials and tests for new devices to go through first, or is everyone gung-ho about buying the latest doodad?

It's Tavern Tuesday! Every Thursday I like to check in with everyone to ask how they're doing - think of a catch-up at the local tavern and that's pretty much what this is. How are you?

It's Worldbuilding Wednesday! Water has a huge impact on the shape of a world. Rivers make many cities, but some settlements have a more nuanced relationship with their river. Tell me about an interesting water > settlement relationship in your world.

I'll admit I'm not really in a place to shout about myself online at the moment because I'm working on my Master's, but I don't see any harm in talking about some of my stuff. See my banner image? It's by LuckyMrUnlucky of X. Here are the original sketches. Neat, eh?

So I'm here! This place looks a lot like old-school Twitter, doesn't it? Here's hoping bluesky stays friendly and sane for the foreseeable.
