Nevermore sells prints or copies of all works listed online, unless otherwise noted.

Alas, for Truths Untold: A book combining poetry and artwork to tell a story of longing, love, loss, death, and regret. It's very melancholy and somewhat morbid, but while it plays these things straight, it also occasionally winks to the audience to show that it's not taking itself too seriously. (created in background; no stats provided. But it's, like, totally a great book.)

Home: A piece with some inspiration from chiaroscuro style. On a black field, a black figure stands silhouetted in a doorway through which golden light streams. The figure's features are indistinct, but the posture shows weariness, fear, and powerful hope. (13 successes total, +5 equipment bonus visual art)

Predator Heart: A human heart, drawn in bloody shades of red and black. From the heart protrudes the head of a predatory beast, somewhere between wolf and lion and bear, straining to tear itself free. (8 successes total, +5 equipment bonus visual art)

The Usher Deck: Nevermore's second larger-scale project, a complete set of tarot cards, with copies available for purchase through an online print-your-own-cards site. The symbolism has similarities to the Ryder-Waite deck, but with some of the more Christian-centric concepts replaced by more ancient (and widely-applicable) ones. The aesthetic can be generally described as "Cheerfully morbid." Bad things and good things mix in life, the deck seems to say, so we might as well try to face both with a smile. (21 successes total, +5 equipment bonus visual art; any additional effects when used for tarot as yet undecided.)
