Behold! An elephants foot.

I love using dedicated sketchbooks for my collections. I see them as a way to record my practice and research before making better versions later. I see it as a way to make a mess and discover ideas and develop products. Sketchbooks should be messy.

This sticker is part of the collaboration between myself and my eldest. The full comic is in the zine launching at the end of this week... It sparkles.

Made some Dino art fridge magnets.

Very excited that Netflix has Stargate SG1 on ...

So pleased to announce a wonderful collaboration I've done with the ever amazing @chaoscurios.bsky.social , these candles will be available at the end of the month as part of the new collection. The scent is pomegranate, mandarin and Amber, it is devine.

Always a bit nervous when I spend hours on a piece of work to then cut it in two so I can scan it for the zine

Trust the process, trust the process, trust the process 😣

Stream night tonight! I've been looking forward to this for weeks but also a bit anxious.

Best bit about visiting an art gallery or museum..... Gift shop! 👀

It draws nearer!!! 3 Days until the first session of my Actual Play campaign for Skies Above - Secret of the Twilit Skysles! Looking forward to delving into this with both the players and an audience! #ttrpg

I often wonder if I should do a snail mail club. Like if the dinos were to send out postcards of their adventures? With little stickers of something? The IG story I have asked that question has no responses 😂

Watching the OG walking with dinosaurs. How do you pronounce Diplodocus?

For anyone who missed the KS I've uploaded Skies to itch.io, likely Drivethru later and it'll be on my own website once I also have physical books to sell. #TTRPG #TRPG losthavengames.itch.io/skies-above-...

I just unfriended someone I've known for many years because they would rather use GenAi for a very basic sticker reward chart (that they could have used Canva or Affinity to create) than spend a couple quid on an already existing downloadable created by a small business. Le sigh. 👇

Derek is a good egg.

I bloody love Derek.

Posting Skies Above until I find my audience. Final Fantasy vibes. Grandia energy. Post apocalyptic hope instead of despair. JRPG fans who play TTRPGs are out there somewhere. Likes and shares help me reach them. losthavenart.com #ttrpg #SkiesAbove

Getting the balance between "realism" and "cute whimsy dinosaur" can be difficult, especially when trying to be authentic but also I do not have the time to draw eleventy billion individual bones. I hope this looks like a Diplodocus skelebob.

Anyone else wonder why there is this trend to holding clip mics rather than, I dunno, clip them to your clothing? Are people aware they're designed to be clipped to something to reduce noise? I'm being fickle aren't I? 😅

Lettering is haaaaard but I do hope I spelled "exhibition" correctly 😅🥴

Just one month until LITTLE BUT FIERCE crowdfunds. Sign up to be notified when it goes live! A rewrite of 5th Edition for children of all ages, with streamlined rules, simplified language and a family friendly tone. A new generation's first steps into TTRPGs. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dcb...

😌

Trying to plan and create a much longer story for the zine is proving more difficult than I thought 😅

Seeing the new life emerging after the dark cold months is so lovely.

I have a major project coming up later in the year. I'm also getting to build a community that lives dinosaurs and shenanigans as much as me 🦕🦖

The printer I'm using for Skies sent me this ahead of them shipping the sample out to me. Absolutely blown away with how pretty this looks!

Attempts were made 😂

WildSpace is live! If you're after sci-fi TTRPG action with anthro pilots and star fighters, this is your game. Spent ages getting the d6 system just right for space combat and political intrigue. losthavengames.itch.... #WildSpace #ttrpg

Posting Stone until I find my audience. No group? No problem. Solo journaling through Dwallinhiem's deep roads. Steampunk technology meets ancient dwarven duty. The solo TTRPG community keeps growing. Help me find my corner of it. losthavenart.com #ttrpg #indierpg

Saturdays are fast becoming our reset days and it's great just to focus on recharging those spell slots. I napped. Twice! 👀😳

I didn't have any lino so I used foam board. I was going for the Henri Matisse style of block printing. Sort of worked.

Been practising different styles today. Very pleased with this interpretation of The Wave. Not bad for a fifteen minute sketch I think.

I'm in the planning phase of the next collection, including the next zine issue. I've also decided to make the zine much longer, it's currently 8 pages long but I've been told it needs to be longer! Sooooo, longer story and lots of other titbits it is then!

Four years ago I drew what would become my first ever zine, the adventures of Derek and Irene. I am still very proud of the drawings I did as it was the start of the shenanigans that these two get up to. That front cover is some of my best work. 🤌

Finally found some time to finish Soundwave.

Gently easing myself back into drawing. I am aware that I am not good at people (why do you think I chose to draw dinosaurs for a living. 😂)

WildSpace is out there waiting for pilots! Anthro animals, custom fighters, frontier exploration. Put tons of time into making the perfect space western TTRPG. Time to see what the outer rim holds. losthavengames.itch.... #WildSpace #ttrpg

First attempts of drawing a Penrose Square. Inspired by the works of MC Escher (he was an incredible artist)

My 12 year old grandson has been to some absolute bangers.

Much excitement. Can't wait to introduce Flint and his Ruby

The princess bride is the perfect boxing day movie. (It is also a Christmas movie)

How we are feeling after eating a massive Christmas dinner.

I have no idea why or how but my silhouette portrait actually behaved and cut all these out! (And now I've said that it'll probably a little bastard next time 🥲)

As I'm making a new Bundle box based on Computing and Video games, I thought I would make a diorama of the Analytical Engine, however I do not have time to make squillion cogs and things so I might just make a little box... Also, the original Analytical Engine was never finished sooooo

Your friendly Kickstarter warning reporter checking in for duty 🫡 The last week, a campaign has been advertising on meta HARD. And I have qualms. The product? It's fine, whatever. The problem? They're misrepresenting what it is in order to charge way more than it's worth. Let's kick things off:

I think my cat got brain freeze 😅

Next month I'm doing Nottingham Video Games Expo and then the month after that I'm going to be at Barnsley Zine fair! It's all very exciting. ☺️

If my husband ever loses me he just has to sing "Le Poisson Steve" And I will respond with "POISSOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH". Like some weird echo location.

I love this design. It encompasses everything about being a geek in a cool rainbow design. Would you wear this?
