Meet the artist

Greetings my friend.
I'm called Tin-Key, but feel free to call me TinI'm a rural Finnish illustrator who enjoys nature, folktales, stars and telling stories. Typically, I draw myself as a reindeer or a sort of cryptid.
I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pen and I'm currently studying to become a visual designer.
My style tends to lean more on the cute side because I enjoy drawing things (even scary creatures and monsters) as tiny beans.
You can find me on various social platforms and occasionally at artist alleys across Finland.

Projects

Here are projects I have worked on

Timepiece system

Timepiece Systen (TPS)
Tabletop role-playing game (ttrpg) system that is build for more slice-of-life types of games where self-betterment trough constant effort is only thing characters can do against the ever looming destiny. Main aspects of the system are mystery solving, time management, monsters, using everyday life and it's timetable to your advantage and bonds between characters that are pulled into the world much more treacherous than they first thought it to be.
TPS asks the question;
"What does it take for an everyday person to rise to the occasion against the darkness? Especially when time is ever fleeting..."

Dear adult

You are doing great.
Life is occasionally hard, but despite that you are still here.
.
.
."As long as there is life, there is hope."
It might be hard to believe, since it sounds overly positive,
but let me expand on that.
As long as there is life, there is chaos. And in chaos, everything is possible. What I mean by that, is that even tho something happening is unlikely, something really simple might trigger the chain of events leading to it regardless. When things are alive, they interact with the world around them. Some of these interactions might trigger something bigger that leads to good or bad. I believe it's called a "butterfly effect".
The outcome is always random, so there is always chaos. But within that chaos of the living world, there is always a possibility for something good to happen. So there is always hope.
.
You have hope.

I suppose you might be able to find link for it somewhere here.
Life needs some spice after all~
