Our games from an isometric perspective but without locking to a grid. Bringing parts together in more organic compositions. Been lush drawing so much nature, inspired by a lot of walks with the kids.

This first pass of Thingamajigs characters was really fun to draw, little'uns, larpers and other folks. We've since had the brilliant Natasha Molins refine these AND loads of new folks and fauna, including some VERY cute ducks.
