A fish man standing in the iconic Freddy Mercury pose with a white lab coat on. He's saying "Aberrate!" Last prompt for Dredge-tober
#Dredgetober 31 -"Aberrate"!
Silly image that wouldn't leave me...
Dredge-style graphic of the fan-created Dredge zine, “Messages in a Bottle." The right-hand side of the graphic depicts part of the cargo hold with 6 available spaces. One space is damaged (as indicated by a red X). One space is occupied by the zine (represented by the zine cover art). The left hand side of the graphic displays a hover window with info about the zine in the style of the game. Text for the hover window: Messages in a Bottle Stock: High Type: Zine Description: A book with a cracked spine exposing tattered pages inside. The cover bulges with the scribblings of souls who have succumbed to the depths. Text above the hover window: Messages in a Bottle A Dredge Fanzine @dredgefanzine (with icons for bsky and tumblr)
⚓ZINE RELEASE TODAY⚓
A long crack mars the side of the bottle. You pry out the cork. A book falls out; its spine splits open on the deck. Red eyes blink in the fog—watching—as you gather the pages.
You now hold the zine in your hands.
