Today's painting is a simple interior 1/2 pager.
This is when you are about to land on Soubos which is part of the next book! It's called Unknown Variables: Secrets of Soubos.
It's a solo, journaling, rpg - very choose you're own adventure book vibes.

See which alien researcher you're most like and why!
I juuuust made it, so if you could take it and let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it a lot!

Decided to just go full yolo on the watercolor after I forgot to tape it down (and it was paper from a scrap pile to start with)

Turns out, I had a fun time 🙂

To Slay the Great Regurgitator

Me, painting a detailed school of fish last year: "Why am I like this?"

Me, painting a detailed school of fish today: "Why am I like this?"

Does anyone know of any easy to use tools that would let me make a random name generator for the Astra Fauna game?

I think I'd prefer browser based.

**Yes, I'd like to make my own and yes, I know many exist.

Graphic design question about fonts

I want to have a "robot is speaking font" - but I'd like one that is legible, for obvious reasons.

Do any good ones come to mind? I was pondering maybe Agency FB, but open to other idea too.

Loving this idea!

omg I read that as "use it" 😅

I guess both is cool. :)

awesome! have fun!

Stream starts in about 90 minutes and I’m hoping it will go on for eight hours.

Greetings from Spinosaurus mirabilis!

Today's challenge - remembering how to spell the proper nouns that I also made up.😅

Me: I’m writing a story about Taq & Umaii for the next newsletter
Tom: And what are they stealing now?
Me: No, this is Taq & Umaii who is a angel baby not Taq & Veidat who is a secret gremlin
Tom: what do they do?

after I told him, he said that it was a sweet story.

Www.astrafauna.com

a proper and refined meeting!

Damn, I forgot to write a newsletter.
Maybe I should write another short story for it? 🤔

I kinda want to do a "Only nice things happen to Umaii" one.

Who should they meet up with: Taq, Heldel, Veidat, or Brirkun?

Pet id sheet for a grub pet that's fuzzy

🌟Excited for this idea!
In my game, you can recruit the grub into your team.

You'll be able to print these, color them, and take notes on them. You could also make your own on a blank sheet.

**WIP - they could change after playtesting.

Do you have a favorite?

Very fair

Probably a bit niche ask, but, if you've read Astra Fauna or know about the world, is there anything you're hoping to get more of in future books?
