A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet sits in the middle of a small dimly lit room, surrounded by many fluffy round creatures called fleas. These fleas are not like fleas from the real world, but adorable fuzzballs of cuteness. A particularly large ball of fluff is lying behind her.

A digital painting depicting a scene from the game Rain World, specifically The Watcher DLC. A large dimly lit chamber of bulbous masses and tendrils holds host to an entity that is suspended by a larger tendril extending from an open flower like formation. The entity looks like a puppet with no limbs. It has a body made of a mass of stringy formations and a head that looks like a dark sunflower. The centre of it's head, or the flower, is glowing brightly and shining it's light in the direction it is looking. The entity is curving down to face toward a slugcat, who is standing amongst the bulbous formations of the environment and gazing up at the mysterious entity.
A digital painting depicting a split view of above and below some murky water in an overgrown cave with a few remnants of industrial machinery. A slugcat from the game Rain World is floating at the surface of the water as two monsters move in a pincer movement towards it. The monsters are comprised of a blobby central mass and long goopy tendrils reaching out to the surrounding environment and towards the slugcat's location. One is moving in from above the water, and one below the water.
A digital painting depicting a shadowy industrial scene from the game Rain World. It is very rundown with growths overtaking much of the collapsing brickwork. And it is shaded by huge arching structures, perhaps bridges of some kind. A slugcat is standing atop an old hopper machine of sorts and looking to some dangling lantern mice creatures hanging from above, which are glowing as they sway in the air. In the shadows of the scene, lots of spindly legs and forms can be seen that indicate the presence of spiders.
A digital painting depicting an abstract scene of 9 slugcats from the game Rain World in a subtly glowing void. A brighter glow is up towards the top right of the painting and the flowing forms of the slugcats appear to be swimming towards it. Each slugcat is slightly different, some glowing, some closer to us as dark silhouettes, one fading into glowing tendrils, one falling behind as they struggle to swim, and one with a glowing abstract halo.
A digital painting depicting an old large storage room with a large circular hologram of an image being projected into the center of it. A slugcat from the game Rain World sits next to the projector and is reaching out at the hologram inquisitively. The hologram depicts a long mechanical arm of some kind extending to a large firey orb within clouds. There is also some text written in an unknown language.
A digital painting depicting a huge and deep cylindrical hole, which is going into a built facility rather than the ground. Looking down the hole, we can see cables dangling across the cavernous space along with plant vines that bear watermelon-like fruit in the middle of them. A slugcat called the Watcher from the game Rain World is dangling from one of the larger fruits, barely hanging onto it. The great height of the fall they would suffer if they lose grip is evident.
A digital painting depicting a scene from the game Rain World. A strange ghostly ball with arcing tendrils of energy is floating just above the ground, casting a sparkly rainbow between their tendrils. In the background of this industrial pipe laden landscape, a slugcat can be seen peering over a ledge and observing the scene. Another ghostly ball with tendrils is wiggling through the air behind the slugcat.
A digital painting depicting a scene from the game Rain World. A slugcat called the Watcher is standing before a large mechanical worm. It looks like a stubby grub with glowing holes along it's body. It's head resembles a box and it is looking at the slugcat. Another one, slightly different in appearance is in the background and a strange glowing sprite is flying through the air around it. The environment is sandy with large stone brick walls and pillar structures. It is a shady place with large bright strips of light streaking across the scene.
A digital painting depicting a fluffy slugcat from the game Rain World, called the Saint, floating in the air with their glowing arms outstretched towards a figure. The figure is distorted in the midst of an immense force that twists the air around it. It appears that their soul has been freed from their body by this force, indicated by a glowing golden mirage over the top of them that isn't affected by the air distortion effect. The slugcat appears to be responsible for this. In the foreground, a pearl with a disrupted glowing circle around it has clearly been flung from where the figure is, thrown by the force affecting them.
A digital painting depicting an abstract scene of a slugcat from the game Rain World holding two spears in an X shape across it's back. The slugcat is looking menacing, perched on a horizontal pole in a dark void. A subtle red glow is placed behind the scene to better show the silhouette. Several other poles or spears are floating in the void around the slugcat, a couple with strips of red material tied to the top of them, flapping in an unseen breeze. A stark spotlight illuminates the slugcat, with it's spears casting a dark X shaped shadow on it's back.
A digital painting depicting an imagined scene from the game Rain World. A humanoid biomechanical character, called Five Pebbles, sits in a dark and ruined tiled room with masses of bulbous rot encroaching on him. A large glowing pearl floats in the air next to him, and he stares away from us to a growing puddle on the floor. In the puddle is an image of another scene featuring a similar humanoid character, called Moon. She floats in the air with distorted glowing lights around her, and she waves towards Pebbles. A few drops of water fall from above, casting ripples in the puddle that distort the image in it.
A digital painting depicting a misty landscape of huge crumbling towers and overgrown brickwork and pipes. Sand dunes can just be seen through the growths. Giant flying whales float through the air, with swarms of locusts surrounding them. One whale, tremendously larger than the rest, looms in the background. A small slugcat, called the Watcher from the game Rain World, is on the ground and fleeing the locusts that are beginning to descend towards them from the swathes in the sky.
A digital painting depicting a slugcat, from the game Rain World, and her three young slugpups sleeping in a cosy snuggle atop a soft patch of foliage.

A digital painting depicting a foggy scene of huge stacked towers of overgrown cargo containers. A slugcat from the game Rain World, called the Watcher, is jumping across a large gap from a horizontal pole to a container. Meanwhile, 3 large moth creatures are descending from the sky towards the slugcat.
A digital painting depicting a large indigo lizard with its long tongue out and head flung backwards. This is due to a graffiti bomb that has hit it's head and exploded into a cloud of dusty green paint. The thrower of the bomb, a slugcat from the game Rain World called the Watcher, is standing atop a high ledge some distance away and is holding another graffiti bomb that is emitting a stream of blue smoke upwards. The surroundings are industrial in appearance, with brick walls and large pipes, but it is overgrown with vines.

A digital painting depicting a fight scene. We view things from behind a huge lizard with yellow/gold frills. It gazes angrily at a fluffy slugcat from the game Rain World, called The Saint, who has thrown a glowing firey spear at it. The spear has missed its target and is flying past the lizard. Other spears are scattered around the slugcat and it has already grabbed another. The scene takes place in the ruins of an ancient temple-like structure, and the slugcat stands next to a monument of some kind and under a tall flaming torch.
Digital painting depicting a dark, overgrown, and misty landscape of large creatures known as scissor birds, from the game Rain world. They have a round body with two mechanical legs like pogo-sticks, a long neck with a small round head, and large beak filled with sharp teeth. They have two glowing pits for eyes either side of their head. One in the foreground has it's beak wide, sparks flying from the impact of it's metallic leg on the floor. It appears to be about to grab a slugcat creature that is on it's back as if it fell while fleeing the scary creature.
Digital painting depicting an overgrown, flooded, and somewhat toxic landscape of piled up machine waste and decaying structures. The foliage is grungy, with twisted chaotic stems covering most of the environment. A slugcat holding a spear, called the Hunter from the game Rain World, is traversing over a pile of junk in the middle of a sludgey pond of liquid. Three long wiggling worms rising out of the pond surface are arching themselves around to gaze inquisitively at the slugcat with their bulbous white eyes.
A digital painting depicting a vast, disused, and overgrown industrial environment. It appears that we are viewing the scene from the bottom of a canyon of brickwork, machinery, and huge pipes. Pipes, chains, and cables are draped plentifully across the scene. Some large unturning cogs are embedded in machinery in the floor and walls. Beams of dusty light shine down from above. A slugcat, from the game Rain World, is gazing upward amidst some tendril-like foliage in the mid distance. The whole scene is covered in vines and grungy foliage growths.
A digital painting depicting an abstract painting taking place in a dark void with an orange glow in the background. At the center of the painting is a yellow slugcat, called the Monk from the game Rain World, curled around and holding a big bright glowing egg shaped berry. Two long plant stems curl and extend a ways around the slugcat out of the dark void, with one of them blossoming into a bud of many popcorn like fruit above the slugcat. Between their bases, a circular glowing symbol is seen glowing. Several bubble-like fruit plants are growing out of the dark void at the edges of the scene and a couple of the egg shaped fruit are dangling from above. Glowing particles are scattered around the scene.
