Nelly Longarms: Painterly digital illustration of a watery hag. She is lanky, with long clawed arms, sitting on a river rock and folding her arms under her chin in a cutesy expression. There is a cheeky smile on her face as she looks directly at the viewer with glowing yellow eyes. Her arms and legs are covered in fish scales and on her head there is a pointed headdress resembling horns. Her face is framed with shiny coins and she wears an extravagant leather armor and long flowy skirt with tassels and ribbons hanging down. The info at the bottom shows the Aquarium book and Crow & Crown company logo and text that reads: Charlie “Newt” Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt ©Crow&Crown 2026
Peg Powler: Painterly digital illustration of a cackling hag emerging from a pond. She is chubby, with dark green skin, pointy teeth and wild curly hair. Her big eyes glow yellow and she has webbed fingers - loosely resembling a frog. She wears a tattered skirt and rope accessories with glass baubles. There are water lilies in the duckweed covered water around her and she holds a jar filled with human fingers and eyes. Her expression is cute but scary as she seems to be cackling, clutching the jar to her chest. On her head,there is a large spikey leaf fashioned into a hat with a few twigs serving like pins. The info at the bottom shows the Aquarium book and Crow & Crown company logo and text that reads: Charlie “Newt” Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt ©Crow&Crown 2026
Peg Powler: Painterly digital illustration of a river hag. She is tall and lanky, clothed in algae and seaweed, with blood covering her chin and dripping down her chest.The hair from her head flows down and turns into algae as it cascades over her shoulders. Her face is old and scarred with a cold piercing expression and glowing eyes. She wears a sickle and a few other equipment pieces strapped to her hips. There are clam shells hanging down her attire like jewelry and her algae skirt is full, sinking down into the water she stands in. The surface is stained with the same blood we can see on her face and hand.

the Marsh brainworms you guys! aaauughhhh i am so unwell about them and their horrible evil nasty lore
A digital drawing of a figure kneeling and washing their hands under a stream of liquid which spills down the steps and under their knees. They have long, straight hair, are dressed in fancy but practical clothing with tools at their belt including a dagger and a pendant of grinning and snarling faces. They have spiked earrings and their forearms are tattooed with occult symbols. Their expression is slightly anxious as they look up towards the source of the liquid. On the left side of the page, there is a text block with a crude poem reading: Down by the water, In the deep dark marsh, Waits a hungry altar, Carved in wood of ash. Comy, my hungry daughter And still your endless march, Worry not, don’t falter, Your steps I always watch. Listen for my order, And wield my thorned lash, Though, patient be for slaughter, Your bloody hands first wash. Below this in tiny text, it reads: Post-Hypnotic trigger sequence type B-1-0 - lullaby Subject: generation: 050249 - M - 1789-1825 Code: Viridian Angel Name: * text redacted by scribbling over *
A Prayer to the Carnivorous Universe

At the top of the page, there are two beige-coloured hounds curling in on themselves in agonised positions. One is curling forward with its tongue curling out and the other is biting at its own side. There are three small paragraphs of text in red ink and a typewriter style font reading: "A Thing, touched by the hand of the beast", "Something rotting, marked, wretched, coiling and writhing behind each of their ribs", "Planted there by the ichor-slick-black-dripping hand of the Devil"
An intricate comic-style poster drawn digitally, depicting a group of figures in a dark, gloomy fantasy setting, surrounded by gothic arches.. The colours are contrasting shades of muted reds and pale green on black and grey background. There is a bright red-pink moon on the top edge of the illustration, lighting the figures below. The center has 6 adventurers huddled together back to back, all in pensive and solemn state. There are roots winding their way up the group and up the stone arches on the borders. Above the group of characters, there is a large portrait of a dark haired vampire woman and 5 more smaller vampire figures to her side arranged in a crescent. There is a castle and a bare-branched tree in the background as well.

two illustrations: 1: Digital artwork drawn in the style of a historical medical diagram. It depicts a scruffy half-elf man with shoulder-lenght wavy hair thats pulled back and a sad expression. On the right side of the page, he stands, with his hands behind his back, with his legs bare and his chest splayed open to reveal his internal organs. There are arrows and numbers pointing to his various organs, corresponding with their names written ont he bottom of the page. On the left side, there is the same man, this time only his head and torso, splayed open again but this time with organs removed, showing his ribcage and spine. From his neck, the neck and head arteries are pulled out in a branching pattern resembling almost a crown of sorts. His eyes are rolled back, in an unconcious expression this time. From the empty cavity of his chest and stomach, large worm-like forms are pulled and splayed out, held in medical forceps and other clamps. The text on the page reads: Petrichor Artz Ph.D., Curse Of Strahd, She is The Ancient & Homebrew, and on the bottom it lists various anatomical terms and names of organs. The centre bottom of the page title reads: An Exquisite Corpse. 2: digital illustration in the style of an avant-garde movie/theatre poster. It shows Andrei - a thin, dark haired guy sitting on the ground, wearing a long red bathrobe, striped pants and a cream shirt. He is looking to the side with a sad, tired expression while scratching at his chest. The background is in an off-white colour and there is a hand drawn logo-like text reading "Fruit of Sin" and on the left side as well as the bottom edge, there are small red drawings of various devils and demons. At the bottom, in small text, in the style of movie poster cast list, there is a Three-row text that says: Original Character: Andrei Croft - The Haunted Painter

two fantasy illustrations side by side: The Night Washer - a painting depicting a dangerous-looking old woman with long dark hair, long pointy nose, yellow glowing eyes and a wicked smirk. She is up to her thighs in river water, washing a bloodied sheet of linen. The scene is in darkness, with a strip of lighting illuminating her only partially. The surface of the water is covered in duckweed and there are ravens flying around the figure. The figure has metal coin jewelry woven into her wild, dark hair that falls down her back and into the water like a thick blanket. There is a full moon visible in the reflection of the water. The text at the bottom reads: “Charlie Newt Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt” and “© Crow&Crown 2026”. The Gryndylow Coven: Peg Powler: Painterly digital illustration of a cackling hag emerging from a pond.

Nelly Longarms: She is lanky, with long clawed arms, sitting on a river rock and folding her arms under her chin in a cutesy expression. Her arms and legs are covered in fish scales and on her head there is a pointed headdress resembling horns. Her face is framed with shiny coins and she wears an extravagant leather armor and long flowy skirt with tassels and ribbons hanging down. Peg Powler: She is tall, clothed in algae and seaweed, with blood covering her chin and dripping down her chest.The hair from her head flows down and turns into algae as it cascades over her shoulders.

nothing lasts
knight oc Wreg holding his one-handed sword to his inner thigh, the blade almost ready to puncture the white fabric of his trousers. His outer layers, belt and armor pieces are falling off, and his upper torso is bare. Only half of his face can be seen, looking stern. Background is dark, with illustrated rose thorns and blood drops.
guy who touched a vidiogame for the first time in his 20s, works too much and gets motion sick if anything on screen moves:
aw thank you!
thats a great idea thanks!
im as bad at typing lol
yeah that makes sense, i dont read just basic journaling back but i do namke a lot of creative notes and those do need to be referenced..
oof i feel you.. for me i kinda made peace with it being partially unreadable on a second look but i memorise & process stuff by writing/drawing it, so its really good for my process even if i cant come back to it... won the lottery by having kinsthetic learning and dysgraphia at the same time lol
ooh interesting, noting this down!
interesting about the cursive because i feel like my handwriting declined a ton in school after we were allowed to switch from cursive and develop our own style.. i could never keep it consistent
ooh this might help with my poor circulation too maybe
yeah! i can do a pretty hand lettered title for like an illustration fine,and could probably copy text okay if i though of it like a drawing.. the problem is thinking of the words and writing at the same time.. i think way faster than i can write/type as well..
oh thats so interesting!
ooh i havent heard of the empty space inside letters thing, I'll try that!
ooh good tips. my keyboard typing is actually as bad, idk if its a brain thing or poor strenght & circulation in my fingers but i make a typo in like every sentense ;_;
doubt OT is available where i live but I'll pay special attention to my pen grips! thank you!
omg this is a great idea I'll try it! i know im already more legible if i write on lined paper but just havent done so in a while cause i write in my not-lined sketchbooks haha
