A cropped preview of a pencil and ink drawing of a Phoenix resting on the shoulders of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome. She looks up in hopeful wonder at the bird, her face and work clothes smudged with soot, and her pointed cap in one hand.

A pencil drawing of two elves, one facing left, one facing right. The short of them holds one of the other’s arms by the wrist, post awkward for them both, but firm. Neither looks happy, and a shaded half-circle frames their heads toward the left of the image.

A pencil drawing, tinted very slightly electric blue, of a feminine-presenting gnome with daisies all over her pointed gnomish cap and head, spilling over her shoulders like hair. She cups a single large seed floating at her chest, which is mid-sprout, the leaves growing and curving up to the right, while spiraling lines flow from them over the gnome’s head and down to the left, moving off the page in all directions. Her expression is quietly ecstatic.

A pencil drawing of an adult pig running toward the viewer, a pair of polka dotted bloomers clutched in their mouth, looking as if they’re smiling with one eye closed in a wink, an expressive star drawn beside it for playful emphasis. Lines of curving energy and sparkles around the bloomers suggest something otherworldly occurring, and other curving lines and shading around and behind the pig’s body indicate their line of motion.

A pen and pencil drawing tinted a subtle green, featuring a feminine-presenting orc in flowing robes. She cradles a sigil at her midsection, from which flow thirteen stars. Three small phoenixes fly around her, and small, four-leaf-clover-shaped faerie wings manifest from her back, framing her at the shoulders and accented by two smaller but still enlarged clovers hovering over her shoulders at the front. Her expression is peaceful, smiling subtly, eyes closed.

A pencil and ink drawing of a feminine-presenting gnome riding on a giant snail, either collecting stars in a basket as they float up to her, or casting them down to bless the ground as they pass.

A pencil and ink drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome and a feminine-presenting orc, standing together so the gnome is nearly at the orc’s head height, dressed in casual finery. The gnome looks confidently at the viewer, while the orc smirks, eyes closed, and reaches one hand out to cup a single star floating at the right of the page. A small, vaguely-defined, sprite-like faerie hovers above that, the background filled with naked branches on that side, while curving lines and spheres fill the background on the left to frame the couple.

The preview, and indeed the whole page, is drawn in black ink on white paper and finished with olivey-green, red and light purple wax pigment highlights.

A pencil drawing of a plus size, feminine-presenting elf raising one arm at her midsection as if to cast magic, while the other is raised to press her hand against one ear. Red wax pigment highlights dripping down that arm indicate a wound there, and her expression is furious, but in a controlled way. More waving lines and small circles indicate more magic spilling off her back, at her shoulders, and traveling off the page to the right. The background has been partially shaded in as a pillar behind her, for impact.
