I took my camera to late-opening at our local conservation zoo last week. "Show us all the cool animals, Rob!" I hear you saying. "Okay," I reply, while uploading photos of a particularly photogenic pigeon I met while leaving the woodland enclosures 🪶 #Photography #Pigeon #Bird

Strolling Along - Gouache on paper #art

As soon as the heatwave dropped back into manageable temps, Poppy stared at me intensely until I put a blanket on for cuddles. It's way too warm for blankets but I couldn't say no to that face

Taking some time for #Bloomscrolling this week, to keep my mind off things I can't control

Game dev hot take: your initial idea is probably at least 2-3x bigger than it needs to be, and this immediate overscoping is what keeps so many games from making it through the prototype phase. Learn how to design the least to do the most, and add from there after you make your proof of concept.

BRILLIANT NEWS! I was lucky enough to work on the pencils and inks for the cutscene character portraits together with @estirdalin.bsky.social. We had a ball, and I am so excited to play the game, which was a real labour of love from Bithell Games.

Given we're on bluesky, it's possible you've not seen the Find Familiar range before. We've got a warlock jack russell, a corgi rogue, a shibu inu ranger, and a border collie druid. All of these brave adventurers are hard enamel pins, packaged individually! www.etsy.com/shop/whatrob...

Just a foraging hedgehog 🌿

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

Water Version 5 (Remake 4) fifth time's a charm, see you again in 4-5 years mermaid pal

Fyi I switched over to Deezer a few months back and it's: 🇫🇷 French owned 🎵 has a tool that imports all your Spotify liked songs and playlists (and does it in approx five mins) 💵 pays artists 2-3x better Would recommend! Haven't had an issue with much music being missing at all.

I’m finally going to show a few of the things I’ve been working on, this is a ladybug print.

Giving this another boost for anyone who’s looking for a art mentor with limit brake. I have a lot of free time right now and willing to help if I can.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Psst. Hey. Want a sneak peek of some future pieces? Of course you do. Two of the designs coming to the INTO THE WOODS pin kickstarter coming later this summer. Fae & folklore all the way down. What would you be keen to see?

Evening crew, look how obscenely cute these are. Making my way to the post office for some early orders tomorrow morning! Decorate the eldritch knitter or trash panda in your life. www.etsy.com/shop/whatrob...

HUMAN ARTISTS! Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

Hey DMs! We're alive and deep in the mines of TTRPG content. Follow along to get previews of content coming soon, including: - Mechanics for raising your own chicken legged house - Paladin subclass - Oath of the Liar - The wondrous longsword Trutheater - Adventures and microfiction

*shakes u* If you do any sort of fiber arts and don't buy Robin's LoveCrafty sticker, I simply don't know what to do with you. Same goes to you Trash Pandas out there - you know you love to do a crime 💖

Live Love Larceny, and LoveCrafty stickers are now available in the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/whatrob...

We will promote our Final Fantasy subscription drive with non-Final Fantasy images until you give in. Once we hit 100 new subscribers, we'll put a Final Fantasy and politics issue on the docket. Subscribe here: unwinnable.com/subscribe/

Here's a thread of my Next Fest Faves which I'll update as I go: First up, the demo for Star Birds (by the studio who made Dorfromantik); it's an approachable resource management game that's visually charming, crisp and colorful! So full of personality! store.steampowered.com/app/2719750/...

Just 4 hours to go! Every Kickstarter pledge bring us a little closer to our true dream for the game: @benstarr.bsky.social making motorbroom sounds with increasing bafflement and incredulity 🙏🙏

One of the things that frustrates me no end is the government going "WE WANT THOSE LAZY DISABLED PEOPLE TO WORK" but refusing to help guarantee the most basic accommodations that would allow us to do so (i.e. being able to work remotely)

I took @abigbat.bsky.social ‘s illustration workshop over the past couple months to try to level up my painting game. It was a great experience, well worth checking out. Here’s my final, a cattle wrangler on her diamondback mount #ttrpg #illustration #fantasy #western

I took roughly 2 weeks off art to recharge after noticing some early burnout signs. I'm glad I did, but now I'm ready to ease back into creating stuff again and it's tough to choose where to begin.

Excited to share the very first Weekly Selection from the IAMAG Community — chosen by the community itself! Check all artists picked by our community and share your art with us: itsartm.ag/4mXZf9j

Summer (gouache practice) #art

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

I've got all day blocked out to play Next Fest demos so will add any I liked to this thread. Stay tuned! Next Fest ends on the 16th, so take some time this weekend to try out games from smaller studios, support them with wishlisting/word of mouth, and give yourself some games to look forward to!
