Meet Minnie the Mimic | Where’s Nessie? Art Update

Sharing another art update from Where’s Nessie?, my children’s interactive Storypath Adventure.

This is Minnie the Mimic, and yes, she is exactly as suspicious as she looks. A purple treasure chest with sharp teeth, one very watchful eye, and a big red tongue is not exactly subtle, but subtlety is overrated when you are a magical box trying to ruin someone’s snack-based decision-making.

Minnie is part of the adventure’s creature encounters, giving young readers a fun moment of mystery, danger, and choice. Where’s Nessie? is almost finished, with only a few drawings left before the next major step.

I’m also still debating whether to release the printed edition and EPUB version around the same time. Because apparently making one version of a book was not enough chaos for my schedule.

The Shamrock Codex

The Shamrock Codex was created to bring old cultures, beliefs, and superstitions to life through monsters that feel vivid, memorable, and worth encountering. It is not meant to read like a dry reference text, nor to reduce rich folklore to a name and a stat block. Its purpose is to take creatures rooted in tradition, fear, wonder, and story, then shape them into balanced encounters that still feel alive at the table.

This codex is first and foremost a love letter to Ireland, Irish-Celtic folklore, and the beauty of Gaelic language and myth. At the same time, it is part of a larger creative vision: to give meaningful representation to the many mythologies, regional legends, and cultural beings that deserve more than being renamed, reskinned, or loosely borrowed. Some mythologies have long enjoyed endless retellings. Many others, just as rich and evocative, are too often overlooked. This work aims to help change that by treating these beings as more than borrowed aesthetics. They are approached as if they were real, with histories, moods, and identities that deserve care.

That same care extends to the design of the creatures themselves. Balance here is not only about numbers, damage output, or challenge ratings. It is also about play experience. Not every party is built the same. Some lean too far into melee, others into spellcasting, and some include highly optimized characters that can flatten ordinary encounters. Because of that, these monsters were built to create more than a simple exchange of blows. There are already enough creatures whose only purpose is to hit and be hit. This codex favors monsters that complicate the field, disrupt expectations, pressure different weaknesses, and introduce unusual problems for players to solve. Silence, curses, omen-play, positioning pressure, movement disruption, lingering effects, and other forms of encounter texture are all part of that design philosophy.

Reina del Coquí

(Sovereign of the Archipelago)

She stands not as ruler, but as guardian. Her voice is no longer a warning it is continuity. She carries radiant joy for a people who endure, and quiet sorrow for histories carved into both petroglyph and scar. Through her, the island answers. Not in vengeance. In remembrance. Those who come in reverence find only rain and song. Those who come in arrogance learn something deeper:

The island remembers.
