misc page I like.

I think the style of the book has pretty well solidified now, and that feels nice.

it took about 100 pages to get it right, but at least I got there.

Digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: The Host of Anguish. The subject is a humanoid creature shown from the waist up, with at least 6 arms and a horse skull head on a long neck of stylized plant roots. More hands and arms are emerging from its expansive, twisting and tearing flesh to cover most of the lower half of the canvas. All of the hands are grabbing and reaching out as if in crisis. A large, deep hole is in its upper chest, torn flesh as its border. The piece is shaded using extensive, precise crosshatching.

blurry out of focus photo of a black ink drawing fading into a circle of shadows around the top left corner of the page. the lines and forms in the middle distance are the most in focus.

Another critter I'd love very much to make in bag form for someone! This is Uroballus carlei, the caterpillar mimicking jumping spider. Their longer abdomen would make them excellent for a backpack - more storage space! Anyone else think he looks like Appa? Yip yip!

An underwater photo of a hand reaching for what appears to be a large coin. The coin appears to be a lure, attached to the body of a large freshwater mussel.

An underwater photo of a hand reaching for what appears to be a large coin. The coin appears to be a lure, attached to the body of a large freshwater mussel.

A photo taken right after the previous one. The coin lure on the mussel has split in two, releasing a cloudy explosion in the hand's direction. The hand appears to be reeling back, now surrounded by a swarm of microscopic mussels.

If you see an old coin under the water, be aware of the Counterfeit Mussel (Lampsilis denarius) before reaching for it.
This freshwater mussel filters metal from the river to create a convincing coin-shaped lure. When a hand approaches, it releases thousands of its parasitic larvae in its direction.

Illustrations of a forest in a foggy dark setting. The first image is a foggy area with a deer in the centre, framed by trees. The second has illustrations of certain things you will find in the forest.

"Despite first impressions, Caoin's dense fog hides a wide variety of flora. Familiar or otherwise, best to treat them with caution."

"Pick with care -- not all flora are what they seem."

"RAZOR IVY -- Just one example of the strange things that live inhabit the forest. Growing in fractals, some say the vines go on endlessly. True or not, the cuts from its leaves will if not treated immediately."

"Mosses, stalks, those with eyes to see will notice many a species believed to be extinct for centuries."

"From hazel to honeysuckle, the forest's bounty are an exception that prove the rule."

"Your excursion will have landmarks but make no mistake -- the only thing awaiting you is town or worse."

The last image is of the town walls  on the outside, with trees seen around it.

The forest weaves in and out of the walls of the town. Thick trees further obscure the environment and makes it harder for anyone to even see a way back to the normal world. Funny thing is, it seems to go on forever… And loops right back to where you started.

A digital illustration of the shrine to the fictional patron saint of the exploited, abused, unheard, the Kid, from my D&D campaign. She acts for those buried in shallow graves, and those the monsters thought so unimportant that they didn't even bother. The Kid straddles the line between reckoning and revenge, since that's as close as Bassuras' powerless ever get to justice. The shrine is a stained glass window set into cracked red stone.The arched window shows a figure striding forward menacingly in dark clothes and a wide-brimmed, tassled hat that leaves the face in shadow, their eyes glowing a strong red visible just below the brim. A threat to those they target. In each of their hands, they hold their signature weapons - smoking revolvers that are backed and highlighted by a sun design holding two bullets. The skin of the hands is dark and streaked with a glowing red like lava peeking through cracks in dark stone. The figure's cloak billows off to the side and the inside fades into a smoky texture.The figured head is haloed by green rays of light above a desert city in front of a red wall and purple mountains. Below the window in the stone the words "The Kid" are carved in a fictional language.

Watercolor painting that is tall and narrow. It has a green spring deer in it with leaves and antlers, and a very long flowing green cloth. The land around it is all gnarly roots and below is sky. Above is a forest.

Quiet watercolor of a peach colored rabbit with large petals growing out of its fur. It's curled up and sleeping.

A surreal painting of a raven in flight. It is pink with a long pink ribbon trailing behind it like a path. It flies along a pale river like path through curling leaves and branches.
