I think it's time for a re-introduction!

Hi! I'm Catoblepon, a non-binary nerd with too many hobbies, including worldbuilding, web dev, spreadsheets, art, and games.

Expect posts about that, especially about my worldbuilding projects.

Get some gorgeous #pixelart assets for your games and designs and arts! TJ did an amazing job with all of these and if it wasn’t cuz I already owned most of the thing, I wouldn’t have even hesitated to buy the sale bundle!

Adding some of these in my worldbuilding project: Vaelis Arin. 😍👀

Septembit 2025 complete!

I took a Zelda-inspired approach to my "city" :D
with inspiration from Oracle of Seasons, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time

Septembit week 2 progress!

I'm really enjoying the Zelda-inspired spin I'm putting on these prompts :D

the more I complete, the easier it is for me to get distracted & start playing around with layout ideas already xD

1-bit Zelda-inspired pixel art in dark brown and desaturated lime green colours.

If you see this, post a sword! ⚔️

Don’t mind me, taking the opportunity to share my #swordtember of last year (and mentioning I’m planning on doing it again this year!)

#pixelart
An image with 30 different swords in pixel art, very much fantasy vibes with swords that are literally fire, water or lightning.

This was genuinely an insta buy 🥰 Can’t wait to add it to one of my projects and a possible swordtember thingy 👀

(Wait… cato doing stuff? 😱 I swear I’m as alive as a floating skull can be! Just v low energy)

Will be sharing what I do with the font 😤

I made a pixel version of my blackletter font! 🤩

thank you to the 3 early birds who grabbed a copy already before I've even posted this 🥹

Just released my first tileset! 🥳📜

It's a modular kit to build your own pixel art scrolls & ribbons :D

tjtrewin.itch.io/pixel-art-pa...

I had so much fun with this and it was great to give some old pieces some love in the thumbnails 🥰

#PixelArt #IndieGameDev #Tileset
Scrolls & ribbons tileset An example GUI showing a pixel art avatar in a square with inverted corners and a ribbon with forked ending for the username, a ribbon displaying "Level Complete!" with an unfurled vertical scroll beneath, with button shapes below, and a fancy ribbon in the right corner indicating "Game Saved". A faux CRT screen effect showing the preview of the tileset (the distortion is to dissuade direct pixel art theft). An example of a ribbon suitable for two lines of text, wrapping around an ornate sword. Text: "Mission Complete - 100%"

Drawing random maps and wondering about the story behind them is quite fun. Is an inaccurate or badly drawn map done on purpose or not? Maybe by a lazy or underpaid cartographer?

I've just added this map into my Ko-Fi shop, for use in your own Non-Commercial game or story: ko-fi.com/s/26dadac008
A corner of a scroll showing a sepia-toned map with roughly drawn mountains, hills, forests and rivers. There are black icons of castles, towns and towers, some with white marks beneath them for labelling. In the top corner is some text written in the Arcane Cipher font by Aesoterik.

I don’t often share my drawings here, but I saw a different drawing of this OC I did a month or two ago and I had to draw him, and ended up LOVING the drawing 😍 Had fun playing with brushes too, really love the one I used for the sketch. Maybe I should name him…

That feeling when you don't post in too long that it feels weird to just randomly appear again and be like nothing happened... but it's just that nothing actually happened you just forgot or had nothing to post. Anyone else got that feeling?

Anyway, happy pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Self-promotion is always hard to do, and something I often forget to do too. But here's just a lil reminder that I have a few things over in my Ko-Fi shop available if you should like to toss some coins my way (and many, many thanks in advance if you do choose to 💚)

ko-fi.com/apmaps/shop
A grid of six images with a green label of a price in the bottom right corner of each, and part of the descriptive text beneath each. The top row have three colored maps: from left to right - a town map, a village map and a regional map. The second row has a small contintent map in sepia tones, and two solo journaling RPGs.
