Feyfinders: Cosmos
Cover art and character design for the Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast, “Feyfinders.”
![The five Cosmos characters are in a central formation in front of a purple outer space background with floating planets that look like 20-sided dice. The face of the dungeon master stares at the viewer from the top left with a devious expression. Text at the bottom reads “Feyfinders: Cosmos” in a bold sci-fi font.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd750a2af5f4c5f7d3b84_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--cover.jpg)
Final podcast cover art.

Character lineup. The crew had such chaotic energy that my biggest challenge was making them feel like a unified team. At the client's request, I kept all their outfits in the same colour palette to help with this challenge.

On the right, final coloured art of Gromley looking worried, casting a spell from his floating spellbook.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd7cdc8f1b24a47a3374d_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--gromley.jpg)
Gromley is the harried goblin wizard of the team, with a sentient (and snarky) spell book as his familiar.
![On the left, several sketches of Skor in different poses with various large swords. On the right, final coloured art of Skor leaning on a massive sword wreathed in green flames.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd7ce482d4a3f02095c5d_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--skor.jpg)
Skor is the flirtatious and showy fighter. My instructions for his magical sword were "as extra as you can make it."
![On the left, a few sketches on Signal standing nervously next to his drake. On the right, final coloured art of Signal with a hand on his massive blue drake’s head.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd7cd70620b690acee08c_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--signal.jpg)
Signal is the shy former soldier with an emotional support dragon (well, drake).
![On the left, several sketches of Zahra holding guns in different confident poses, with several outfit variations. On the right, final coloured art of Zahra holding a rifle over one shoulder and a handgun in her other hand, staring confidently ahead.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd7ce618e0accbcb28382_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--zahra.jpg)
Zahra is the confident and classy gunslinger. I was given the least direction for her outfit, so had lots of fun exploring different options.
![On the left, several sketches of John in similar tourist-dad poses. On the right, final coloured art of John wearing a fanny pack and crocs and holding both thumbs up.](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/63581ada498b705e53aad65f/635dd7cdc8f1b28dd6a3374c_Megan-K-Barry--feyfinders-cosmos--illustration-character-design-podcast-dnd--john.jpg)
John Schmidt is a dad and retired cop. Mostly a dad.
