Card game. These would be art for poker sized cards, as well as cover art for the game box.
There are currently ~30 different Cryptids in the game, but we might not use unique art for all of them.
Sell sheet with further details is attached.

Here are some of those faction symbols / tokens for Crowned in Starlight that I've been working on.
Really wanna shout out thenounproject.com as an invaluable resource for indie board game designers... a huge wealth of symbols that can fit almost any need with a bit of touching up.

Teammate Imperium went great.
With teaching, clocked in at ~3 hours.
