A large mushroom-warped woman stands holding the hand of her sword. Skeletons sit below her, and a broken moon bleeds onto them. Character Design - various monsters based on mushrooms fullbody color commission. A character with white hair wears a cloak secured by a bird pin, blue tunic, and strapped boots. They hold a spear dripping blood into the rainwater at their feet. they appear contemplative as a red droplet falls into their hand. Character lineup - a squad of odd masked mercenaries

A massive, hissing pale snake adorned in gaudy golden jewelry on its tail and head. Red feathers decorate its neck Reimagined concepts of the Wizard of Oz characters. Five characters are shown. In the middle is a young girl wearing a white button-up and a blue suspender skirt, holding a gun in one hand and a basket of ammo in the other. Next to her is a Cane Corso dog with a collar that says "Toto." To the left is a tall, knife-wielding man dressed in a ragged, bullet-worn suit and fedora, a crow with a knife in its beak sitting on his shoulder. To the right is a man dressed smartly in a vest and mask, with prosthetic arms and one prosthetic leg, an axe on his belt and a can of gasoline beside him. In the back is a huge male brute in a vest with a bearded face and top-knot, wearing knuckle rings on his fists. A fantastical creature that appears to be a mix of a walrus and parakeet. Three are depicted: one large male, one female and one infant. The male and female have blue and white feathered, walrus-like bodies. Other sketches showing details of the creature are also depicted. A boy with a purple mohawk and punk clothes holds a small bat decorated with thumbtacks. He sits on top of a big pig, who also has a mohawk, a spiked collar and a painted skull brand on its leg. On the collar is a stick on which an apple hangs in front of the pig's nose.
