Next to him is a half-elf in a blue rope with a magic staff, and a dwarven sailor, as well as a large half-orc holding two barrels of rum with a kraken tattoo on her shoulder.

🍸 Found a fancy option in @jnevair.bsky.social’s “To Spy a Star” where Agent Renault “decided on a G-fizz, sparkling champagne with sweet fruit. Nothing else would suit…”

I’d use for cover purposes in this context, as I too would find it “unsettling.”

"The vibes this cover game me...really delivered. I absolutely loved this. It felt like a dark fairy tale." -NetGalley Reviewer. Photo of the hardback of Domestication by Shannon Knight held in front of a grape arbor. Book cover of Domestication by Shannon Knight. Illustration by Savanna Mayer. An Icelandic ram with curling horns is being sheared and a monstrous skeleton of something canine is emerging from the sheep's body. The art is comic-style and very creepy.
