Cute pet grub with huge eyes

Cute pet grub with huge eyes

Did some art for healing tonight.



The little pet grub wasn't slotted for this but, I was chatting with a high school friend and made it.



Anyway, you can adopt the grub in the game (if you chose that option).



You'll get to name it PLUS I'm making a custom printable sheet for your journal/binder where you'll be able to pick one of 3 options to color in (coloring book style) - or you can draw your own grub.



The grub joins your party and will help protect you. (it has a stink attack at base level)



But since it's a baby, you'll also roll on a table to see how it grows - all good options really.



This silly little grub is such a source of joy for both me and the designers. I hope you like it. :)

A bear like humanoid with a raised fist

A bear like humanoid with a raised fist

In his day, Wagner was one of the most respected and feared individuals in the areas he frequented, but that was a long time ago now.
Wagner is the former captain of a hapless crew of what were essentially space pirates. Roughly 25 yrs ago, his ship crashed on Soubos.
The wreck was devastating to the crew - killing their 1st mate, engineer, and medic.
Wagner, who was already toying with the idea of stepping down when the fated voyage started, due to his bad back, bad knees, and trick shoulder, continued to act as captain.
Unfortunately, for Wagner and his crew, having a captain who was big, strong, and tough, did not mean he was smart enough to fix his own ship to get it off the ground.
So, they had to survive on the planet, and he did the best he could.
Wagner is not a good person. Preferring to bully, steal, and threaten his way to anything he wants, he's stubborn and violent when dealing with nearly everyone. He did do one thing right however - he took in Rally after her parents died.
He wasn't a very good dad, but he also didn't stand in Rally's way when she wanted to read all her parent's notes and books, or when she wanted to go through the old research centers in the city. He does love Rally, and that's good as she's the only one who can talk sense into him.
Now that Rally's old enough to lead, he's stepping down from his role and she's coming into hers, as his replacement.
He thinks a lot of her ideas are crazy but he does believe in her enough to back her plays.

A canine and avian humanoid who is grinning and running

A canine and avian humanoid who is grinning and running

Rally is your main point of contact with her people. She has avian and canine features and uses these characteristics to maneuver her out of danger- which she is no stranger too.
As their newly appointed leader, she'd still working on coming into her own but she's confident in her own judgment and abilities.
She's very smart but has had no formal schooling. Her parents were the crew's medic and engineer - who both died when their ship crashed on Soubos. She's self educated, and highly curious.
She was semi-adopted by Wagner but really, all the survivors of the wreck raised her and so she's very loyal to each and every one of them. She's also able to seamlessly fit into nearly any social situation and group since, that's been her whole life - switching from family to family.
Agile and quick, Rally is able to "safely" navigate the abandoned buildings on Soubos to recover old tech and research, which is doesn't have much luck understanding, but she is trying.
She's friendly and open but takes no sh!t. She truly wants to believe that you are good and here to help, and hopes you can pull it off.

Jekllyn and Bess were hand picked by Eparie for his team on Soubos because they are both extremely smart, and are just rugged enough to survive doing field work there. Plus they're very interested in Soubos itself.
Jekllyn and Bess are completely self taught - more like a blend of scientist, inventor, and salvager.
Of the pair, Jekllyn is more hands on and, sometimes, overtly aggressive, but she's 90% bark and 10% bite. Bess is quieter, more careful, and more detail oriented. Her bark is pretty much non existent and her bite would be in the form of a legal order.
Both of them are extremely protective of the each other and are never apart if they're out in the field. They're both roughly the same size and build. Bess has a smattering of shell on some parts of her skin and Jekllyn does not.
They've had a really -unique- upbringing which means they're not going to open up to anyone right away, and Eparie is certainly not going to tell you anything about that either. But, with time, you can probably win them over and they could end up helping you.

Umaii is a sea slug like humaniod. Umaii is an incredibly bright xenobiologist who is also extremely anxious. They often have trouble making decisions and aren’t very confident. They’re very sweet, caring, and shy. Despite that, they are also very brave - still doing things that scare them, although sometimes they do need a little help to get going.

I painted Umaii!
They're so sweet. ❀️

They like tea, biscuits, and blankets.

Eparie is your main point of contact with the Salvager's Cache.
He's a bright, charismatic, individual with feline and aquatic features, making him well suited to work on Soubos.
He's very intelligent but thinks he knows and understands a bit more about the world than he actually does. He assumes everyone is out for themselves and readily expects to be lied to, hurt, and double crossed. He's very, very slow to trust.
That said, he, in general, is reasonable and keeps his word.
Above all else, he's effective and professional. He's a master at memorizing people's wants and needs to create personal gain for himself, and sometimes, mutual gain for both parties. Due to this, he's a firm believer in confidentially and discretion. He's there to do his job, do it well, keep his people safe, and get paid.
He is ruthless enough to hurt people in order to do that, but he prefers not to as he considers that a failure on his part. He'd much rather turn on the charm and have both parties walk away a little bit more wealthy - or at the very least, him.
He absolutely thinks you're lying to him and is excited to figure out your angle.

Four panel comic about the Stormlight Archive books. Panel 1: 'Kaladin jumped into a volcano full of chasmfiends and then,' with a picture of Kaladin with a spear jumping into a lava pit full of monsters. Panel 2: a person holding a book saying 'And then???'. Panel 3: 'Interlude. This is Pibu, He sucks on rockbuds.' with a little man in green saying 'ooh lala!' in front of a bud like plant. Panel 4: The person with the book from panel 2 shouting 'BRANDON!' while dropping the book.

having the laminate over the full bookmark on both sides works for me and fast and cheap really helps in this economy.

What shop do you work for and what the best way to get a quote from you? Thanks!

I want to make bookmarks with my art on them.
β€’ Full color
β€’ Printed on both the front and back.
β€’ I want sections on the top and bottom of the bookmark that can be written on by a wet or dry erase marker. These sections could be erased and used again later. ((They can cover the art if that's easier))
β€’ Do you know of a professional level print shop that can make these?
