#WorldbuildingAwards

One of my favourite articles, Keystones, is in the running for Best Article of 2026! This is the biggest category I've ever been up for, and my first time in the big leagues. We won a newcomer category during the first Worldbuilding Awards, with Solaris being awarded the Most Beautiful New World, and we've tried to keep the iron hot. In 2023, we won Best Body of Work in Worldember 2023. Could this be the year where Solaris snags a spot in the sky alongside the heroes of World Anvil?

For those of you new to Solaris , it's a space opera set in our little solar system, inspired by mythology and the wonder of looking up at the stars. It's been a sparkly crystal paradise, up until the angelic armies of the sun attacked and laid Mercury to waste.

I write Solaris alongside my cowriter and fiancée Skye. All the art for Solaris is drawn by me in MS Paint, and I made my own theme. No AI or LLMs are involved in any step of the process. I can do all of this because of the wealth of knowledge shared here on the internet, so I try to do my part in sharing what I know as well. You can find a bunch of guides by me in the Post Script of Solaris, as well as links to resources I use, and I've been trying to update all my articles with a authors note about my inspirations.

This year I also got my second nomination for Strength & Honor with Operation War Dove, the article that gave me my first ever win on World Anvil when it was picked as the winning conflict article that Summer Camp. The overview of the tech of my setting, Crystal Technology, was also nominated for Pillars of Progress. Both of these categories are voted on by you, and I highly recommend you check out all the articles and vote on your favourite!

Hello everyone,

I have finished my submissions for #WAWA2026 after updating my world's theme (and recovering from a sprained knee after being a bit overzealous at the gym...definitely hurts as much as you can imagine. Free advice: if you do any intensive reps of Machine Leg Press, skip the cardio on the gym bike. Thank me later).

I have decided to create a hub featuring the articles I submitted. I encourage you to give them a thorough read over your favorite snacks and comfy spot!

Hello everyone,

I believe that I have settled on a theme refresh that I can use for the time being. It's not a full refresh but it is close enough that I can be happy with it. I wanted something with a light theme, which you can view right now here:

https://www.worldanvil.com/w/arktoria-jdebro

I'm also have begun submitting for the 6th Annual #WorldBuildingAwards so updates might be here and there as I finalize my submissions. This will also occur alongside other changes that I will make to Arktoria this week. This will be a busy week for me with worldbuilding, but it will be worth it in the long term

Have a pleasant day!

Hello everyone,

Now that the #WorldEmber Awards Ceremony has passed, I can finally update my articles. And I do have some updates to make, along with some planned changes I intend to do. What are some of those changes?

The first being that I am working on a new background & world banner for my world of Arktoria to give it more of an original visual identity. I'll keep the current color scheme for now as I'm still tinkering with that in my mind. Once I finish making that changes, i"ll post a community update to inform my followers and the wider community.

The second is my plans to add more images to my articles overtime, although it will be in phases as I complete the artwork. I've already started doing with the relatively recent update I made to the Rogue profession which you can view below:

I will continue to do so with more and more images as I finish them.

That is all the current updates I have at the moment. I will be submitting entries for the 6th #WorldBuildingAwards contest as well. Updates on those entries will come later. Until them, have a great day!

The Owlworks makes its Youtube (re)debut!

It only took an age and a half, but the winds of creation finally found themselves beneath my wings! Behold, my first vlog!

— - One tired but accomplished owl

I took a years-long Youtube hiatus, and now we're BACK — starting with a new writer vlog series where I take you through month-by-month adventures in the Owlworks! This episode 0.5 kicks off the series with a 2025/winter recap and covers the end of March... with most of April being through at this point (oh my god??), you likely already know where the next episode will pick up!

Be sure to subscribe so you catch future episodes of the Owlworks Vlog! Look forward to these uploads coming every early- to mid-month!

I really hope you enjoy following along my journey as an all-over-the-place creator, and every bit of support is mega appreciated! Likes, comments, and shares help tell the Youtube algorithm that I'm not just some weirdo on the internet, but a weirdo on the internet that's worth watching :)

WAWA Update from the Owlworks: HOLY / BLUE ANVIL /!

Many of you got to witness my live reactions to this information, but... six nominations??? I've done nothing but lay spiritually on the floor (maybe physically as well, for a little while) and process this!

Thank you SO much for the community love and support — for my third Worldbuilding Awards run, you've tripled my total nomination count in one act of love and fevered voting. I hope I can count on you again to pull an award or two from these nominations, but I am just so thrilled to have reached this point. Much love!

For my fellow nominees:

First off, you're incredible! Voting in the first round was hard enough, but making those final decisions was truly killer.

If you'd like some fancy graphics to promote your work this month, the nominee gallery made its return once again! Sorry for the day's delay, but I hope you enjoy them!
