1) Vulture Shaman. These birdfalk shamans believe that everything that exist is a part of the great infinite, and that they are trying to reach unity with the great infinite trough dark practices, such as the consumption of the dead bodies, alcohol and letting infections take over small portions of their bodies. They meditate nearby the swamps where all the plague infected bodies get burned.
They are not necessarily evil beings, just worshippers of the darkness that is one with the light.
2) Ant Monks. These Bugfalk Monks are devoted to a special kind of mushrooms that in their cult is the embodiment of the Messiah. They consume a lot of this sacred mushroom that grants them visions and knowledge but mangle their bodies so much that often they lose the ability to walk an often their bodies can be found sticking out partially from mushroom masses near the roots of the trees.
3) example of humans consumed either by the Plague or the Mushroom.

I've redrawn the previous archons and added the other ones.
These seven interpretations of devious deities are the rulers of the universe where all the characters you have seen until now reside.
1) The Moon, ruler of tides, his influence on mortals is through fear and stasis, his body is a giant conglomerate of ghosts from all who died in the sea.
2) The Sun, his influence on earthlings is through ego and arts, he is the painter of the sky and the mask he wears is a giant peacock/phoenix.
3) Venus, here grip on human souls is through lust and vanity, she embodies the love that leads humans to suicide, the lust that corrodes relationship and goals, the sense of getting old and ugly, the loss of hope trough the idealization of beauty.
4) Mars, the beast of war, the source of the idea of every weapon that is or that ever will be, he is the warhorse and the warrior, the virility and the pride through conflict, his link with earth is through every war, fight and murders.
5) Mercury, he is the storyteller, the librarian, the mold that grows on wat humans built, his grip on humanity is through false enlightenment and through the sensation of knowing already everything, he manifest himself through hallucinations given by mushrooms and molds.
6) Jupiter, he is the greed, he is infinite hunger, insecurity, he makes humans feel like they always miss something, makes you carry more than what you need for your journey, makes you feel the need of a system, of a king.
7) Saturn, the Weaver of the prison web, a miscarried creature, some incomplete grub that's desperately to acknowledge himself by creating a prison universe that serves him like a mirror, to serve this purpose he created all the other six archons to keep the human spark under his control. He is the confiner of the divine spark that resides in all of us, son of a greater being, incapable of acknowledging his origins.
The last picture is a scheme of all of this, how Saturn weaved his web with all the other planets and how Earth is under his control only through the other celestial spheres.

Marine creatures 🌊
1- giant seahorse infested by coral. The seahorse and the coral have a symbiotic relationship, the coral feasts on the dead scales and blood of the seahorse and the seahorse use the coral as a camouflage to hunt.

Pic 1) A blinded god, an immature being, a grub born from the curiosity of a spark of infinity in the desperate need of acknowledgement of itself, weaving the thread of the material world. Will it ever become a butterfly one day? Nice question.
Pic 2) Bug samurai and his son.
Pic 3) an amphisbaena.

He is the man! Simone made for us, one year ago, the beautiful cover artwork for the 2# english issue. With this poisonous smoke he made this cover sick and unique.
At Deathmania festival finally we met again and now Simone can read, smell and feel his copy, do you have yours?
Deadly creatures and their drops.
Crustacetacean, a mighty creature from the marine kingdom, is considered sacred by the fish-people and is also the mount of the deep sea warriors. His tail can be used as a huge axe, his eyes are very researched for potions and his scales are worth as much as gold.
Mind-Dragon, an omniscient mute creature, his head can grant you knowledge, his talons can become a scepter that can predict the death of your enemies.
Boggwitch, a monstrosity from the Boggs, they wear various trinkets and store potions in their cauldron/mouth. Their helmets can guard you from spells. Sometimes you can find some rare ingredients for potions in their storage skulls.
