Collectors Quest
Enjoy a character design challenge that explores how hoarding, stockpiling and conserving can make some interesting fantasy creatures and people. The theme seems to be a great way to make bold personalities and dramatic characteristics.
This Quest is part of our monthly drawing challenges. Find out more and subscribe here.

Quests can be enjoyed at home or when you're out and about. They're usually pocket sized and only require a pencil and paper. You can spend as little or as long as you like on each quest, and you can choose how far to take your ideas. You could create a few notes and sketches, or an entire scale model or comic.
Who's it for?
The Quests are for adults and children, and are designed to be open-ended and compliment all skill levels, including beginners. They are ideal for:
People interested in drawing and inventing new people, places and things.
Artists, designers and other creatives seeking a new challenge.
Larpers looking for new ideas for events, character quirks and prop design.
Games masters and players keen to add new details to their games and characters.
There is no age restricted content in the quests, but we've written the Quests for the reading age of 13, and we do include links to Pinterest where you must be 13 or over to have an account.
Design
Inspired by zines, childhood games and tabletop adventures, each Quest is playfully designed to bring you joy and spark curiosity and creativity. We've had a lot of fun designing these, and although they're not easy to assemble we believe it's worth it for the experience.
