A rather-alarming looking long, pink, um, serpent. It's Nidhogg from Norse mythology but as if it had been drawn in MS Paint. And yes, there's a shade of rudeness about it.

A screenshot from Rollerdrome. The only colour is yellow, really, other than black line work. We see a sort of Mad Max-like heavily armoured, huge gun-toting baddie falling, and the words "Victory" splashed across the scene.

A screenshot from American Arcadia. Think 1970s. A man - Trevor - stands behind a podium ready to address an audience, with a TV screen hanging behind him. The room around him is all oranges and reds, and he has a moustache and glasses and longish frumpy hair. And a tank top. Don't forget the tank top.

Black and white line-work artwork commissioned for the British Library's Fantasy: Realms of Imagination exhibition. It shows a mountain of, well, things, really, all inspired by popular fantasy. There's No-face from Spirited Away, there's a castle, there's a knight. It's a dense picture of many inspirations.

Close-up key art for Ghostrunner 2. We see the hooded face of a cyborg, which is glowing yellow in slits that form eyes and cheek bones and the character's mouth. Blue light lands on the side of the hood. It's a dingy, atmospheric shot.

A sweeping vista of an alien planet. It looks quite a lot like a desert scene from Earth, to be honest. The orange sand gives way to huge, jutting rocks. But in the background, there's a huge, low-hanging moon, and a turquoise sky climbing to starry black.

A photograph of the stage-like playing area for Life-Size DND. We, as the viewer, peer over a vine-dense wall to see a great sword in a stone before us, some crumbling walls, and a large cut-out of an owlbear. The roof of the playing area is a vine-like mesh, and the floor is taped into a grid.
