Will o' Wisp, a grey tabby, sits nestled in between some clothing and cardboard boxes.
A cartoonish woman in a black onesie, belt, and opera gloves stares, astonished, at her phone. "He said WHAT?!" She shouts, typing furiously with her fingers. Her eye mask, obscuring her eyes themselves (like Robin's from Teen Titans) are in a furrowed, angry slant. It's likely the superhero who bested her is now slandering her name on social media.
A portrait of a pale, pointed-eared humanoid character with blue eyes and wavy black hair, peppered with white streaks. He is looking upward, toward a clawed, grey-purple hand looming just above him. Set into the background is the creature that is reaching out—all toothy smile. The entire scene is cast in a sickly yellow glow which swirls around the two figures. The color palette is very tight; the rest of the colors in the piece are limited to purples and cyans.

A photo from the top of Devil's Head in Colorado, featuring a rocky outcropping protruding through the trees.
A woman with tanned skin, an unusually long neck, and blue-green horns winks at the camera. Her mossy green hair is loosely tied into a bun, with loose strands that are starting to break free. She wears a neck wrap the same color as her horns, and a dark navy blue shawl. She is framed by rolling golden dunes, and a metallic gold/rich blue border. There's a mechanical pencil and metallic gold marker laid near the piece for scale.

A mountain goat and her baby casually walk past where the person using the camera is sitting.
POV: you are Ink, sitting at a trail marker between Greys and Torreys peaks in the Rockies, at about 13,700 feet of elevation. You are seated in a pile of scrag, with Torreys peak to the left, a shaded valley to the right, and small fluffy clouds overhead. Your legs are crossed and you're waiting for your companions to return from Torrey's Peak.

A golden skinned woman with voluminous crimson hair rests cross legged in a tall wing backed chair. She's dressed in khakis and a button-up shirt, but her heels have been discarded for comfort. In one of her four hands is her cell phone, she seems ware that it is necessary for the moment, but is paying it the least amount of attention possible. She looks quite bored.
Angus, a humanoid with wavy black hair streaked with white, stands at the bottom of the frame looking up. Looming over him is a dusky purple, monstrous hand with sharp claws. A toothy smile hangs farther in the background, and the two are surrounded with a jagged, smoky looking essence of some kind. It envelops Angus, swirling around him. His regularly blue eyes reflect some of the sickly yellow of the essence.

Blargh the dragon sits at a couch inside of a modest but cozy home, comparing some herbs in his hand to the illustrations in a book. More herbs and vials are strewn about the table in front of him, and rhe background is a mix of homey decorations like books, potted plants, blankets, and other such things.
Makami the kitsune stands in a Japanese garden, silhouette by the light pouring from a tatami screen. She smiles confidently at the camera, her big white coat sloughing loosely off her shoulders to show her red tattoos. The black fur lining encircles her upper torso like a boa.
A tawny, white-spotted doe-unicorn dances in a circle of glowing mushrooms. Glowing motes of spores and the volume of her green dress float around her, with the glowing moon through the trees just beyond.
A winged skeleton creature, whose head is aflame with a eerie green fire, is coated in jagged ice crystals which jut out of their ribcage. Their maw hangs open, as if screaming in pain, and a mix of stardust and cold mist swirls around them.

Nyom excels mostly in Constitution and Wisdom, and is fairly average in all other stats.)
Lavi, an indigo noodle dragon, floats calmly amongst a bed of kelp as sunlight streams through the leaves and surface of the water. Bubbles scatter around her as she moves.

Looking down on a narrow section of golden cobblestone, Vesma (front) is completely amazed as she slowly wanders between market stalls, with Tal'whe close behind. There are colored flags fluttering overhead and many fresh foods to be purchased in the stalls. In honor of the festival, Vesma and Tal'whe have swapped some clothing elements: Vesma is wearing a rusty silk sash with golden coins and orange fingerless arm gloves, while Tal'whe has adopted her friend's bluish tones by way of a sash with red fringe.
