An artist just tagged me in the first fan art I’ve seen for Strange Beasts! It includes absolutely exquisite renditions of Sam, Hel and Heathcliff the ~fancy~ rat.

We are officially only four or nine days out from release of Wayward Souls!!! Depending, of course, on whether you are of the UK or US persuasion.
