A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

art of a male Lavellan Inquisitor with his naked back against the viewer, showing off a white, almost glowing branch of vallaslin tattoos running down his spine and arching over his shoulders. his face is obscured by short cropped, curly black hair.

illustration of a celestial called Paris. they are kneeling, mostly bare besides their long golden hair and wings covering them. their wings and body has golden, eldritch eyes appear on them and their plumage contorts into fleshy parts, signifying a corruption they suffered in their childhood. they smile coyly, almost a little sinisterly, with a golden halo bursting outwards behind their head.

$reference sheet of a blue dragon in a dracthyr visage. the lineup depicts his casual clothes, formal wear and armor, both front and back view. Each outfit contains various shades of blues and greys with silver trimmings. On the right, his inventory is depicted, including a fractured, dark ice staff, a purple arcane wand, a journal, an obsidian snake held together with volcanic magic, an assortment of crystals, and a spiky, dark elementium cube artifact.$

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

$Page of a character, profile, long red hair flowing all around her, white porcelain skin and gold earring and hairpin. A panel is on the bottom right, focus on her golden eye, fractured. A text says "If eyes are the mirror to the soul... What do mine show ?"$

OCs, Ivemylla, half-elf is sitting before a long blond haired man, her half-brother : Liazar. He wears a long blue robe and a black shirt as there is a gold accent on the tip of it. He is bending over her, smiling, holding her face toward the mirror after she got ready before meeting her future family in law. One of his finger touches her lips, keeping a mark of her lipstick on it. The other hand is presenting her. Her long white hair are attached in a bun with long strand hanging under it. A lot of pearls are pinned in it, same on her transparent dress' part. She looks cold, off.
The window is behind them, showing a late day light.

OCs Lyuu (right) and Minuit (left)
Two characters are standing, facing each others. The man, human looking, is showing his back to the viewer, short brown hair, scar on the right side of his face, smiling. He wears a purple shirt, his hand is holding the face of the other character.
The woman (elf looking) is looking at the man, coming from above like she jumped off somewhere, wearing a green armor. She has long black hair, tied up as a high tail, going into smoke on the tips. She has a very tender look and smile, holding the face of the man with her hand, which is black.

OC Jude, taned, long wavy blond hair with 2 big braids on each side, jeweled with rings and coins in them. She looks confident, one arm up while bending some water.
