...we passed our Persuasion checks, and he wrote a module! After many months of playtesting with the Besties and illustrating from the Bards, we are finally finished with THE FISHMONGER’S SECRET, a #ttrpg module for #ShadowDarkRPG! Peep this teaser art! [🎵M #illustration #watercolor #monsterdesign]
Watercolor and ink piece of a grotesque creature that looks part-human, part-fish. Her bulbous and blank fishy eye and webbed hands are the focal point. There are many scattered sketchy lines to evoke a feeling of chaos and discomfort.

Grim may be a Forever Wizard, but he’s also got some bard in him, as all Forever GMs do! After years of memorable games with him (including one where he almost let Maulody AND Pinky’s characters transform into NASTY BUG PEOPLE, WOW 😤 lol any #DarkestDungeon fans?)... [Art:🎵M]
Four watercolor and ink illustrations showing a blue-skinned humanoid with horns slowly transforming over time. In figure 1, labeled "Beginning," the man is dapper and smiling. In figure 2, labeled "Glow Up," the man is unsmiling but sporting a sleeker look. In figure 3, laveled "Bug Blip," he has a grotesque mosquito-like pointed nose, insectoid mandibles, and fuzzy antennae at the tips of his horns. In figure 4, labeled "End Game," he is back to his humanoid look, but rather grizzled and battleworn...

"Well hello there traveler. I am Professor Grimwald, wizard extraordinaire! I have the distinct honor of 1st Bestie in this fine establishment, providing the power of my pen ✍ to this noble cause!" [🎵M #art #illustration #characterdesign]
Digital illustration of a distinguished older gentleman with a wizardly white beard and a flowing purple overcoat. He holds a stately purple spellbook in one hand, and the other cradles an ominously glowing fireball. There is also a lit firecracker clenched between his teeth!

"Hey hi hello! I’m Pinky, just a silly little clown and one half of the Bards 🎭 I do the graphic design and some of the illustrations for our projects! I would say that I am Chaotic Good… on a good day, that is!" [🎵M #art #illustration #characterdesign]
Digital illustration of a woman dressed in classic jester and clown elements, such as a jingly hat, a ruff collar, harlequin patterns, and shoes with pointy curled toes. She holds a whipped cream pie in one hand and an oversized mallet in another.

"Greetings and well-met! I’m Maulody, cacophonous dirge and the other half of the Bards. 🎭 I do illustrations on our projects as well as any musical sound bites that might nip at your ears." [🎵M #art #illustration #characterdesign]
Digital illustration of a humanoid woman with horns and a tail adorned with ribbons and flowers. She is wearing deep blue clothing and leather accessories. Her expression is mournful as she plays a melodica, and she is surrounded by ethereal music notes.

Bards & Besties is a group of friends and family who love to gather for #ttrpg sessions whenever our schedules (truly the most challenging enemy for any campaign) align. We thought we’d give our vicious calendars another hydra head or two by MAKING games together! [Logo:💖P]
