Artwork of Lilith, the antagonist in Diablo 4, with her huge wings framing her horned head, and the fires of what I presume are Hell burning behind. She's not even sweating!

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.

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 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.
