Paula from Earthbound praying in the cave of the past, darkness swirling around. The player themselves prays with her at the end, fighting off the evil darkness.
I was originally inspired to do kidlit because i wanted to do game fanart in a kidlit style. Not sure why that was where it went but here we are.
Earthbound is one of my favorites :)

What a treat it is to discover what your face was doing during story time at Daisies. 😅🤣
To be fair, I was reading "Shark Girl" by @katebeaton.bsky.social 🦈🧜♀️
We were earning our "Use Resources Wisely" and "Make the World a Better Place" Petals.

A middle-grade-aged girl wearing glasses, jeans and a frog-covered sweater holds a copy of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and looks suspicious as she eyes the door of the library behind her. The door is ajar and a sign on it reads "Missing: Librarian."
In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience."
Four kids in their early-to-mid teens around a table playing Da tabletop role-playing game. The game master is standing in front of a laptop and explaining something that's happening in the game. The other kids are rolling dice, arguing about rules, and explaining a plan. there is a grid map on the table, along with miniature figures, lots of dice, chips, and a sleeping cat. The entire piece is in green and dark pinks and whites, with a dark teal background.
A screenshot from my game Puzzle Spy International, for which I did all of the art and art direction. (It's out now on Steam!) The setting is an ornate Italian geology and archaeology museum, all purples and golds with rocks and a T-Rex skeleton in the background. In the foreground Agent Epsilon in a teal mod dress looks at Stefania Plinth, the museum director in a bun, glasses, and navy blue dress. Stefania is making an angry hand gesture as she says "Those diavoli! They broke in here and stole the Eswatini Giant!"
