An illustration of a chubby humanoid masculine figure with both humanoid and dragon features. His face and hair are human-like with tanned skin, but with silver robotic panels under his eyes and lips. His hair is cobalt blue. He has four eastern-dragon like horns with charms dangling from them. His hands, neck and feet are clawed and robotic. He has a dragon-like tail with dark grey scales and light grey scales underneath. The end of his tail is robotic and projecting a hard light fin that glows blue. He is wearing jeans, wallet chains, a black hooded sweatshirt with pink trim, and a white shirt with block texts that says "TOWER RECORDS" and a chain necklace. Slung over his right shoulder is a clear plastic tote bag that shows a water bottle and book. He is relaxed and walking. There is a background of soft painted flowers, palm trees, and the ocean by Hiroshi Nagai.
A reference sheet of a character named Viktor Artyomvich Ayanka, a were-rat. The reference sheet resembles scientific notes and features photos, and post-it notes. His human form is thin, clad in bookish scholarly clothes with pale skin, swept back brown hair with grey streaks in it, and forearm crutches. He has large goggles with green lenses that display eye-shaped glyphs as he lost his eyes in an science accident. His face and right arm in both forms are covered in heavy burns. His were rat form is tall, lanky, with missing fur due to his burn scars, with tall ears and brown fur. There is also a photo of a 12 year old Viktor with his two adoptive dads who are very masculine and burly. There is another photo of were-rat Viktor resting in a rest of clothes with their partner, Samak.
A reference sheet of a male drow, an elf-like race from Dungeons & Dragons. He has deep violet skin, shaggy silver hair with a tiny rat-tail, a blue headband, green cape, blue tunic, white baggy pants, sandals, and bandages on his feet. On his forearms are intricate metal gauntlets decorated with snakes. His cape and headband are covered with white, swirling smoky patterns. He is also pictured with a pet 9 foot ball python, his familiar. The python is a silvery grey with white smoky patterns and blue eyes. The drow is posing with his sheathed xiphos sword. Around him are detailed shots of the patterns on his clothes, the snake, his sword, a swirling pigmented birthmark on his left hand, some detailed head shots, and a colour guide. The background is a soft grey colour.
A portrait of a figure from the shoulders up. The figure has a small grey CRT television for a head that is covered in vines and crowned with an angel-like halo. An eye and a black dripping of ink is on the screen. They are wearing a dark grey coat, a maroon sweater, and a thin gold chain. Sprouting along their right shoulder are tiny mushrooms. Behind them are a pair of cartoonishly-drawn wings. The entire image has a slight chromatic aberration effect.
A 3x3 grid featuring various pieces of art surrounding a mirror selfie of Arcade, who is mostly hiding behind his phone. The illustrations range from simplistic cartoony characters to abstract book covers and detailed illustrations.
A woman with brown skin and ribbon-like red hair lays sideways in a pond full of lilypads and lotus flowers. Her eyes are half-closed and her expression is relaxed. Her hair is trailing with the ebb and flow of the dark, murky water.
A woman is seated at a café table which is shielded from the sun with wisteria trellises. She is wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with a darker navy blue from the shoulders up. She is resting her chin on her hand with her elbows on the table. Her hand slightly obscures her mouth. She has tanned skin, brown shaggy hair and green eyes, and some of her visible skin is lightly scarred. She has a large drink in a disposable cup in front of her, and to her side is a bottle with flowers in it and a cute napkin holder.
