Time for a new pinned post!
Hi! I'm Letty, a comics artist, game-maker and illustrator based in Scotland! I spend a lot of time thinking about oak galls and things that happen in caves.

view of deep sea bed, thick silt stretching into darkess. a trail of human footprints leads into the dark. coloured pencil drawing of a wiry, lanky knight holding a bundle f black fire in both hands. they wear chainmail and armour with big blunt spikes. illustration of a pictish byrehouse, with cutaway areas to show the construction of the frame, walls and thatched roof, as well as the interiors. many children and adults are shown working, relaxing and playing throughout, as well as domestic and wild animals. ink drawing of a knight whose helmet is shaped like a lion's head wearing a crown. they lean nonchalantly on a sword as tall as their shoulder. they are short, which is emphasized by the outsized helmet, and have a long tail like a heraldic lion.

We're into the hours left on @gonzohistory.bsky.social 's latest zine, Booklet of Bounties! I had so much fun drawing lots of scoundrels and villains for this, and with James' writing and @hodagrpg.bsky.social 's portraits it's a brilliant piece of worldbuilding!

I've had a good read of this now, and although it’s clearly not aimed at us I do have some thoughts on it. Buckle up, lads!

Ooooof.

This reads to me as a top down report from people looking to the avarice in our sister industries like video games and instead of wanting to protect against it thinking ‘how can we get in on that?’

Don’t worry, I will elaborate

You don't need to be an expert to help protect local nature. Starting December 15, join our first-ever ID-a-thon and contribute directly to biodiversity science and conservation!

Learn more: tr.ee/id-a-thon
Join the iNaturalist ID-a-thon! December 15, 2025 – January 15, 2026 Each week, we'll share tips, quick guides, and short visual tutorials to help you build confidence and find easy starting points. Every ID helps the iNaturalist community and the science and conservation fueled by iNaturalist data. Every identification helps make a difference for science and conservation. Why identify? To protect nature, we need to know it well. Learning to identify on iNaturalist is one of the best ways to directly contribute to our shared knowledge of the nature around us. Identifying helps you deepen your understanding of nature, learn about new species, and spark inspiration for your next outing. Reminders for identifying on iNaturalist: - You don’t have to identify to the “species” level to contribute. Broader taxonomic categories — plants, birds, snails, spiders, insects, etc. — are helpful, too! - When adding or agreeing with an identification, make sure you can support it based on the evidence and information you know — and that you can cite your reasoning if asked. - It's always okay to skip an observation! If you're unsure, simply move on to the next one. - Identifying is easiest on the [iNaturalist website](https://www.inaturalist.org/), where you can use the [Identify Page](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify) and see larger images.

📌 My name is H.B. and I'm a fantasy artist specializing in a nostalgic style. My work is inspired by woodcuts and vintage children's books.

A digital illustration in the style of a block print. A humanoid figure wearing a red cloak stands next to a long, segmented creature that resembles a carrot. The creature’s body weaves in-and-out of dark bushes. A digital illustration in the style of old print. It displays three plants in various states of transformation. All are growing vague animal-like bodies: one birdlike, one serpentine, and the other humanoid. Digital illustration in the style of old print. A large two-headed beast with dark fur emerges from a cave. It lifts its heads to make eye contact with a redheaded child sitting above the cave’s entrance. A digital illustration in the style of a woodcut. It depicts the upper half of humanoid figure whose “head” is a flattened organic shape. A serpentine creature delicately wraps around the figure’s arm and into an opening in their face. The figure handles the creature gently.
