An elaborate pen and ink map of Dolmenwood.
A blob-like biomechanoid covered in hungry mouths.
A dripping serpentine dragon with a hungry look and atrophied wings prepares to devour a swordsman, another warrior clutched in its filthy coils.
A pen-and-ink cousin of krampus leers at you, leech-like tongue lolling from his fanged mouth, a gigantic, filthy-looking sack on his back, a dubious present proffered from his hand.
A strange two-headed hairless cat-thing, bristling with unusual appendages.
A patchwork man with swollen cranium, his skin tattooed with eldritch sigils.
A creepy-looking earwig eyes you through the screen. It has a skull-pattern on its wing casing.
A deranged goose eyes the viewer with depraved malice in its eye.
A gigantic egg-like structure suspended above an abyss in a cavernous underground chamber, four bridges leading to it, a strange base-camp of tents to one side, a fungal infestation to the other. Doorways pierce its biomechanoid shell, part of which has been corrupted by some seething organic growth writhing with tendrils and fanged mouths. It's all very Lovecraftian but in a sort of whimsical way, like if Shel Silverstein was illustrating The Shadow Out of Time.
