Crafting Creatures 2024 Winner Badge

This badge was awarded to Felix's Leafweaver Bats!
This article captured the theme of the challenge perfectly, showing how a creature in Felix's world can be crafty (literally!) and shape the world around them through their ingenuity and creativity.
There were so many lovely facts tucked into this article related to how the people of the world see and interact with these creatures and their crafts as well, and the featured illustration was so cute!
The end of the article stated, "the sight of a colony of leafweaver bats is thought to bring good luck on any journey you are undertaking[...]" and that sparked a great deal of joy in my heart! Here's to all of the adventures we'll go on to have this year! And may we see many lucky bats along the way! :)

Revisiting the Nominees from the Worldbuilding Awards 2022!
With the release of the new #WorldbuildingAwards2024 event page, it's a good time to look back on past #WAWA nominees and their submissions, as we scramble to put together our own for this year!
Last year, for the #WorldbuildingAwards2022, I made a collection of graphics for each of the awards and their respective nominees, and now I present the gallery of them all! It's a little silly that I didn't do this sooner, but there it is! Also, a note: gosh, so many people on this list became sages in the past year! I had to workshop so many URLs to dodge 404s from outdated slugs!
Wishing all of my fellow worldbuilders luck with choosing your submissions this year! Just choosing what to submit is already a battle I'm not fully prepared for!

Worldbuilding and Gaming for Charity this Week!
Greetings, friends! In light of a recent tragedy that has shaken up my LARP community, I'm pivoting my regular weekend streams into a four-day fundraiser benefiting two different charities focused on shark research and education, as sharks were deeply loved by our late friend. Charity donations made through my Twitch channel will go directly to Shark Angels, Inc. (Twitch does NOT take a cut) and I will be personally matching $100 of the total donations raised, benefiting Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS).
This weekend will be a mix of worldbuilding, art, and gaming — and I'll be checking out a new game, Nightingale, in early access. How exciting is it to jump into a gaslamp fantasy survival game not too long after WA hosted a stream on the gaslamp genre? Isn't it also a bit of portal fantasy? Which was also featured on the blog? Hitting a lot of fun bases in one!
First stream is tonight (Wednesday) at 6PM EST (GMT+5). Next three days should begin at 2PM EST. Any level of support for the fundraiser is so appreciated — whether you drop by the stream just to chat (or lurk!) or you donate to the cause, every little bit helps. If you can't catch the streams at all but still want to help, donations are accepted through my Twitch channel any time, live or not.
Hug your friends more often! I'm beaming so much love to you all. And I say, with every ounce of passion I can muster, %#&$ cancer!

Craft a bright new world, in Ayun Sovos!
This weekend, I released something super shiny to the community: a brand new world! I invite you all to follow along as I develop the world of Ayun Sovos, a realm of charming creaturefolk driven by a passion for craft and creation, supported by the brave adventurers who venture out into the treacherous reaches of the world to fetch them the materials they need for their next big project!
This world is a project of love and delight in worldbuilding, and you can expect bright, cheery stories, places, people, and things all around. As I pull Malkora down a darker and more complex path moving forward, Ayun Sovos will be the warm home I can always retreat to whenever things start feeling a little too real.
I can't wait to show you all of the fun things I have planned for this world! Keep your eyes peeled for a new unofficial challenge coming your way for the month of March! :)

New art for Malkora!
I don't think I've ever been able to say this during WorldEmber before, but Malkora has new art! Some excellent little sketches cooked up during this week's streams — our final final push stream is tomorrow at 11AM EST!
See them in action over in Malkora's brand new world primer, which I'm now declaring complete!! At least.. until after WE where I find things to change bahahaha!

Malkora's first critically successful WorldEmber!
I can't believe I get to say it this year, but I've achieved my 10k goal — BEFORE the final day of the event! I'm so excited about the progress I've been making, and the content that I've already put together as part of this event!
Now, I'm not done yet — I have more plans, and plenty more ideas to put into writing — but I'd love to show off my proudest works thus far!
Malkora's very first primer is now live! This is the article I wanted to create the most this year, and I did it! It's an immersive first step into the world, led by an in-world narrator and his collection of books and maps. It features some of these core articles I also wrote this month:
#WorldEmber2023 #WorldEmber #Malkora #TheOwlworks #Fantasy
- Powers of Malkora — Less organized, but with a ton of world lore, this article dives into the three sources of power in Malkora. Another overdue core article I'm glad I got to work on!
- Leylines — An overview of Malkora's arcane domains, and the leylines that carry their magic throughout the world! I can't wait to get some art in here soon.
- Atreimus, Strength Incarnate — The god sweeping Arsavela and the Eastwind Pantheon — the embodiment of humanity's strength. The Purifier title is now but one shard of Atreimus, out of a potential sea of others around the world.
- Vosra, the New Dawn — Principal goddess of Malkora, first to arrive, and origin of most of Malkora's other deities. She is the embodiment of hope, and ensured humanity had the will to fight on at its lowest point.

Prepared, and Thankful!
You can always count on the ADHD-brained worldbuilder to save things for the last day! Finally, I present my completed homework, and I'm sharing it with some things I'm deeply thankful for this year.
#WorldEmber #WorldEmber2023 #WorldEmberPrep #HomeworkClub #Thankful #TheOwlworks #Malkora
Thank you, friends!
I'm so thankful for...- the cheems, who inspire and encourage me every day with their excellence
- my fellow Tomies, who continue to bring fantastical visions to life all the time
- my community, who tunes in to hang out with me as I build my world on stream
- my partner, who listens to my ideas, even when they don't make sense (yet)
- myself, for taking steps to take care of myself at the tail end of a very difficult year
- WorldAnvil, the team and community alike, for making this platform my virtual home and a safe space to explore my creativity

Need Images for Articles this SummerCamp?
Here on WorldAnvil, we know how important it is to decorate our articles with art that we have permission to use, but I see lots of people aren't sure where to look for such things! Well, I made a promise on my stream that I would put together a list of FREE art and image resources that are available that could assist with this little problem.
I know I'm not the only person who plans to rely less on AI for sourcing images, so I hope that these resources help at least some of you beautify your articles, without fear of copyright issues or ethical dilemmas! ❤ Happy (and Feral) SummerCamp season, friends! #WorldAnvilTips #SummerCamp2023 #SummerCamp #TheOwlworks #ImageResources
