Strega did out header art for @realneondystopia.bsky.social. They are an immense talent, a wonderful person, and I would recommend them for all your art needs!
I'm going through a rough time financially, so I'd really appreciate any #MutualAid rn! That can be in the form of commissioning me for art, or in a donation on my CCLA library, both of which can be found on my website. www.stregawolf.art Sorry for constantly being on this, just a rough time rn.

I've been digging into an obscure Japanese computer game from 1986 published by the appropriately eldritch-sounding Bothtec.
