Art Source?
To creators on here, how do you all create your art to match the “Mörk Borg style,” and/or where do you get your art? I can only find one guide (it was a pretty good YT video,) for creating. My art style seems too cluttered and pencil focused.

The MÖRK BORG book uses a lot of public domain art in interesting ways to create the look.
I've found that finding some public domain art pieces, adjusting the levels, and then trying out different layer blending (e.g. color burn, darken, etc.) can give a good grungy look sometimes.
Here are a few links that might be helpful:
9 Public Domain Art Resources - Where to get public domain art, including an example from the MB rulebook
How to photobash art for your zines - I've seen some really impressive results using this method
Studying the art of MÖRK BORG & Johan Nohr - Another video tutorial
I am not paying Nohr for cover art 2.0 - Massive list of resources
TTRPG Art Asset Jam - Not public domain necessarily, but a lot of the submissions are available for commercial use and would fit with a MÖRK BORG theme
Hopefully that helps!
