Sites like Homebrewery and GmBinder are utterly fantastic creations and with enough research, its not all that difficult to make professional looking docs with it.
However, I am at a loss as to how to make those cool looking watercolor marks or stains that typically float just behind a monster or other piece of art. Does anyone have any insight that they could teach someone who is art-disabled?

Try this guide: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/HJWLQsTwUZ
I too have fallen in love with Homebrewery although it's not very Apple friendly just lately.
It has its frustrations but when it works, it looks fantastic.

I love that guide. That's how I learned how to do the whole image blending thing (though I still haven't mastered it). I am more looking for those watercolor stains that show up behind monster art (sometimes they have a black and white smaller version of the art as well).
I guess really its just additional artwork and not something specific to the programming. I'll probably have to look through some public domain stuff to see if I find any... |

Also, if you prefer to avoid image editing/Photoshop and prefer something fast, easy, and online, then LunaPic did this:

By using the "Blend two images" effect using the Homebrewery page stains and a default image. As long as the page stain parchment colors/style is same as your page, then this might work. There's some other tools on LunaPic such as the Cut Out and Mask tools which if you play around enough, you might be able to figure it out.

| If you're talking about the stains behind art in the 5e books, Emi Tanji (WotC graphic artist) talked about this on a D&D podcast once. She said they're actual stains she makes with various liquids on watercolor paper, then just scans them in. There was an anecdote about how much red wine she went through to get the "blood" stains in the Curse of Strahd book... |
