The Deets:

Something has been moving in the shadows. Slowly, over the last couple of weeks, mysterious markings written in a sickly green substance have been popping up all over Kaal. These writings glow with an eerie light, and disappear after a few hours. No one knows why they’re there or what they’re saying– they’re written in a language no one seems to know.

You’re staring at one said set of markings with a public works worker standing at your side, scratching their head. The worker is a Draethos, though you honestly can’t tell what gender they are. They’re wearing a set of overalls that read “Kaal Public Works” and a hat.

“We’ve tried using everything to remove it but it won’t budge.” They take off their hat, putting their hands on their hips. “The fella’s recon it’s some sort of force hoo-doo..”

The Instructions:

Using the image provided as a background, create an image of the strange symbol arrangements that are popping up around Kaal. These symbol arrangements are ur-Kittât written in Ichor. You can be as detailed or as lazy as you want.

  • No AI submissions. Keep your work. If I think it may be AI submitted you might be disqualified.
  • You must use the base image given. Please don't use any other image.
  • Submissions must be made in the following formats: .png, .jpg, . .pdf
