Tales from the Loop - NPCs

We just had the emotional finale to a tabletop RPG game my wife Belinda (https://www.instagram.com/bee_nix/) has been running for the last year, set in Simon Stålenhag's Tales from the Loop universe.

The players and I collaborated on this piece as a gift to Belinda for the amazing campaign she's run - these are just a few of the memorable NPC character's she's inhabited (some from the RPG book, others of her own design). To keep the piece consistent while working apart, we started with a cosplay collage as reference for the character poses and positions. With limited time to finish the piece before the finale, I used photo reference for the background, adjusting colours and then painting over it.
