Journal entry illustrations for the game Grim Tides, the second game from a trilogy of text-based roguelikes from developer Monomyth/Goran Kovač. These games are all connected, Grim Tides being a prequel set centuries before it all goes to the toilet in Grim Quest (further hitting the fan in Grim Omens—a game with lots of vampires, Lovecraftian scifi, the usual faction politics, and the usual roguelike, survival horror shenanigans).

These illustrations are visual accompaniments to journal entries you’ll find from the super-not-tragic tales of Erideus the sage and his super-successful-adventure-research party. It totally goes fine. They all have absolutely happy endings. Trust me. I read it all.

I had a blast working on all of these, mostly because I enjoy playing the game and eating up all the lore the dev throws my way.
