Another creature of our Doskvol. One of my favorites of Mr. Harper’s creations, I love the idea of flocks of crows acting almost like the hunting hounds for the implacable Spirit Wardens.
Who, BTW, are looking to play the heavies in our little campaign. I doubt they’ll take too well to a band of failed students peppered with dock scum trying to smuggle spirit bottles through the city.
It’s getting a bit “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking-ish.”
A few more of these and you have a solid Blades in the Dark monster manual
Splendid presentation!
So cool.
Beautiful. I’d taken to referring to them as ravens in my game, to distinguish them from the smaller birds that The Crows use to send messages (Game of Thrones style).
Love it!
Please keep up the good work! Amazing stuff. Will you try to do the Leviethans eventually? 😉
Marvellous! We need more!
Maxime Lacoste, at some point yes. Like ghosts, they seem to require some unknowable aspect. Also, doesn’t the game say that no one has ever seen the entirety of one?
Yes just the wake and crest. That would make a nice wink if you’re drawing followed those guidelines. 😉😆
Hmm..
Did you draw this?? It’s so good! Great job man! Are you gonna compile all these into a monster manual eventually?
As for the Leviathan, I always imagine it to be so massive that it covers the entire body of deep water. So massive that a human could not even comprehend what all of it looked like, because for one it’s so massive, and for two it’s submerged in the ink waters. I also feel like all the Leviathans could just be one massive one, but the hunters see it as multiple because it can’t possibly be in 2 places at once, right? 😛 I imagine it to be a massive dragon-serpant with tentacles that surface (which the hunters hunt) and the rest of it being fully submerged.
These are amazing. Fantastic work.
Question though, I’m by no means a great artist just a guy who’s played with Photoshop for years, is the blades font available somewhere, did you freehand match it, or sample it out of the book and just clean it up? I’ve been trying to do some graphics for my game and I really want to use the blades font but some letters are only available from the book in very tiny font that I can’t scale up well and I’m curious how other people are doing their font work. Thanks!
The font is called Kirsty, and I’ve seen it available various places online.
Ben Morgan awesome, Thanks! I tried running some pages and text through what the font and it never matched that one for me.
Ben Morgan , yep. Thank you, I learned that on this forum pretty recently too. Possibly from you.

Also, open any PDF in Acrobat, go to File > Properties > Fonts Tab. That will list all the fonts used in the document.
John Harper that is a super useful tip that I will make sure to never forget. Thanks.
