A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press"a black and white illustration of a skeletal figure adorned in draped cloth and jewelry. they are reclining in a gil evgren style pinup pose on the ground surrounded by rocks and mushrooms.A black and white ink illustration of The Moon Tarot card. The moon sits high in the star filled night sky — it has a skull like shadow on it. Two monoliths sitting on the horizon frame A path recedes into the distance — winding up and over hills and mountains all the way to the horizon. Along the path there are two wolves howling at the moon. In the foreground there is a skeletal knight and a skeletal horse — they are both covered in fungus and are seated on the ground at the edge of a lake. The skeletal knight looks at a reflection of the moon in the water. The reflections of the moon and the knight are each young and embracing in a kiss. Cattails are coming out of the water on the left side of the water. The top of the card reads “XVIII” while the bottom of the card reads “THE MOON”A black and white illustration of sunset over a vista of wheat fields that go off into the mountainous horizon, and are bordered by distant forests. Scattered throughout the fields are a half dozen bonfires where dark plumes of smoke rise into the darkening sky. Tall robed figures carry wood from the forests to the bonfires to keep them lit. In the foreground you can see that skeletons lie beneath the lush fronds of wheat.
