My piece for @dredgefanzine.bsky.social! The entire pattern is part of the zine, so if anyone wants to make one, check it out! (+ tag me if you do 👀) It's two sided. -- the Bronze Whaler is one side and the Bloodskin Shark is the other #dredge #felt #sharks

A felt ornament of a Bronze Whaler, propped up against a piece of driftwood. There are oysters around it, and a blue background.
The ornament has a fish charm and uses different fishing knots on the string.

The other side has the Dredge aberration version of this shark, the Bloodskin Shark.

A felt ornament of a Bloodskin Shark from the game Dredge. This is the other side of the Bronze Whaler.
It's propped up on some red lava rocks.

Summary
Originally written for Messages in a Bottle: A Dredge Fanzine.

-

Since last year, my colleague—who, like me, also hails from these parts in the Marrows—and I have been hearing reports of new species sightings. Inspired by our other colleague who has set up a research station on a nearby cluster of islands at Stellar Basin for a similar purpose, she and I teamed up together as field researchers for Ironhaven College when we heard of the prospect of returning to our hometown to discover these new species in hopes of recording them first. What they are, what could have caused them, and what they could be—all things we wish to know the answer to. Albeit gradually.

At this time, it is impossible to know just how many potential new species of fish we may encounter, or even if they are only fish. Indeed, we have heard whisperings of cephalopods and crustaceans being sighted within the immediate area which are unknown species.

⚓ZINE RELEASE TODAY⚓ A long crack mars the side of the bottle. You pry out the cork. A book falls out; its spine splits open on the deck. Red eyes blink in the fog—watching—as you gather the pages. You now hold the zine in your hands. Links below🔗⬇️ #dredge #dredgegame #dredgefanzine #dredgetober

Dredge-style graphic of the fan-created Dredge zine, “Messages in a Bottle."

The right-hand side of the graphic depicts part of the cargo hold with 6 available spaces. One space is damaged (as indicated by a red X). One space is occupied by the zine (represented by the zine cover art).

The left hand side of the graphic displays a hover window with info about the zine in the style of the game.
Text for the hover window:
Messages in a Bottle
Stock: High
Type: Zine
Description: A book with a cracked spine exposing tattered pages inside. The cover bulges with the scribblings of souls who have succumbed to the depths.

Beneath the crate is an inset showing the crate’s contents, arranged in 16 square spaces in a 4 x 4 grid. Each square contains an icon of a Dredge creature (normal or aberration), mechanical parts, building items (lumber, dark canister, etc), stamp icons featuring different game locations, and a blurred-out icon with “???”
