Black Carriage at the crossroads - Still Image (Patreon)

"The side door of the carriage swings open silently"...Damn...I love how evocative this campaign is. Even from the very short description I can feel this carriage creaking and jostling its way along the road towards the pillar of Ravenloft. The creepiness of its undriven direction and how many adventures this carriage has brought to Castle Ravenloft over the years.

My players made their way to the Castle on foot, but even though my players missed this encounter, I think the image came out nicely. I haven't really had the opportunity in these paintings to depict any characters, and even though the horse and carriage aren't 'characters' per se, it's still cool to think about their design and the way they fit into Barovia.
