This is Gibbles the Niblet. He is a tiny pencil-nib goblin who lives in an art studio, survives on failed sketches, and has absolutely no chill.
Gibbles was not designed. He just kind of happened. I saw a partially sharpened pencil on my desk, and a really bad drawing and then there was Gibbles.
He has a carved wooden body, a graphite crown, ears the size of dinner plates, and a mouth that is always open, usually chewing something he should not be chewing.
He eats failed ideas and coughs up better ones. His sidekick is Scrub which is a kneaded eraser puppy who erases Gibbles' drawings by sitting on them. It's a whole thing.
Gibbles is a mascot. A pencil sharpener. A designer toy collectible. A one-goblin creative catastrophe.
And his message is simple: you do not need the perfect tools. You just need the mess in front of you and a weird little goblin brain to do something with it.
I also wrote a little storybook to go a long with my submission. you can read it over on
magicpath!
