The bus ride is rowdy as various shenanigans establish some negative interactions with the other teens of Eldrich High. Meanwhile our protagonists have a feeling someone or perhaps something is keeping an eye on them #wtet
Last but not least the gamemaster (aka me) is depicted with their back turned to the camera head to the side peeking over his shoulder, his glasses are hiding his eyes as the light hits them turning them yellow. They're rocking a mullet with shaved sides and behind them an eye is depicted watching over the characters of our story.

The students of Eldrich high, having varying connections to each other, head off all with their respective backpacks and goals concerning this field trip. #wtet
Livvy (18), staring up and to the left Livvy has her back slightly turned to the camera as the fire behind her depicts one of her biggest fears. Brock (16), Staring off to the right Brock painted in freckles, having a shaven eyebrow and a chain around his neck, looks concerned as his fear of tornadoes is depicted in the background. Trout (11), Adorned with bandages and a trapper hat Trout looks sadly to the side as his fear of volcanoes is depicted in the background.

Leah (19), staring ahead concerd. She's wearing a bandana and has two rings in her right ear along with cross earrings. Depicted behind her is one of her fears: deep water. Milo (18), Staring to the side he look tired and absent minded. Behind him rapid currents depict one of his fears.

A black Raven soars above winding streets, watching as you get ready for a trip to the closing saw mill... Welcome to Eldritch Town. #wtet
A banner portraying 5 characters of varying ages, they are all portrayed in green and yellow colours looking in various directions all with somber, concerned and serious expressions. In the back we see a pine forest with a single radio tower peeking out above the canopy. A crescent moon keeps a watch over the night sky.

This is Tav'rael! (They/them with an occasional he sprinkled in there) They're a wildfire druid with a lot of trauma that makes them have quite the saviour complex. First two art pieces by me the last one is by mulyuyo over on instagram!
Bust of a purple ram horned tiefling. They have a flower tattooed on their neck and birdskull earrings as well as a silver ring. They have a burn scar across their face. Bust of a purple ramhorned tiefling with golden jewelry in their ears and on their horns. They have golden tattoos under their top scars Purple ram horned tiefling looking lovingly at a sculpted duck, dagger and lilies. Their horns are adorned with rings and jewelry signifying a marital bond with two spouses.

Grateful for pals lovingly pushing me to GM a game for them and just spent the night coming up with things together.
Maybe you guys get to tag along if I end up illustrating some adventures.
In any case,
Welcome to Eldritch town!
Peaking out of a dense pine forest is some kind of electricity pole. Only something has awakened, a bright green eye has opened up and the sky now fills with a green yellow hue.
